Poetry and words
I write secret songs
Lyrics longing to be learned.
I sing in a voice of silence,
Only wanting to be heard.
What is it about being seen
That makes me want to run
and hide?
I feel tiny trapped within
This mouse of an appearance,
With a whale sized heart inside.
a.l.c
You started a fire
You forgot to put out,
Leaving me waiting
Flaming hot with desire.
Imagine a glimpse, a flicker
Of the flame you leave burning.
Like a candle,
Wax dripping hot beads…
My lust melts to sweat,
Fingers wet,
Soaking sheets.
a.l.c
I pace around like my brain’s lost,
Trying to find it, just killing time,
But at what cost?
Without my mind, without any aim,
I’m just getting careless,
But am I to blame?
Feeling crazy, or just stupid,
Hazy now or going faint,
Is this just another dream in lucid?
A lost soul, a silent art
Only sentenced to asylum…
Why do I need a brain,
When I have a good heart?
a.l.c
I turn to stone when you touch me,
Still, it’s not my truth,
I just don’t want you to see
That I’m soft and mushy…
How I’m always so blue,
That the night competes with me
Even more than you do.
I’m sorry if I seem heartless,
The way I run to hide,
Because I promise I’m not
Callous…
I just feel as though I’ve died.
Some say it’s cold hearted,
I say that’s another lie.
You see,
I just have the type of heart
That is safer kept inside.
a.l.c
I crave you,
All my wants have turned
To needs.
I burn with a flame
That is hot
Only for you,
Because only you
Have the power
To spread the fire
Or
Tame it.
a.l.c
Lover wake me up
With your breath on my bare skin,
Warm hands under sheets.
a.l.c
I know you like to change colors,
But I know you at your core,
You’re blue.
Please do not try to fake it with me,
Showing orange and reds
Beneath your yellows.
Yes, vibrant green is many things,
But I know it’s not true.
a.l.c
