I'm trying some new things...in life and poetry. I've begun a new stage of clarity, however, I am still perplexed by every aspect of the world.

In Your Imagination


I fell in love today,
To find it wasn’t real
I felt a thorn today
To find I could not feel
I won a prize today
To learn that it was fake
I got up and said some words today
To later claim they were mistake.

I saw a face today
To watch it disappear
I had a thought today
But it’s reason was unclear

I had a child today
but a child is was not
A burden, body, thoughtless life
With birth begins to rot

I hate myself today
But myself is not to blame
Waste, lust and false belief
Each equally lay claim.

I fell in love today,
A thought of musk and wine
A cut across my skin
A wept creek of my blood
A sweet remark of attraction
An unattended limb goes unnourished
And dies.

Impossible to win a competition
The road has not been paved
The margins are not defined
The players are not prepared
The game is all imagined
