They Say You Have Burning Eyes

There is no touch
  (but yours)
  that can
    turn me
          inside
      out,

break me into
  colours or
  make me breathe a
      silent fire

what you can do is
      what you will and
  what you can't

                  you will try


      maybe you can fold me over
      when it is cold outside
       
      maybe you can
      burn me to the ground

without having to
    blink
          too much.

    I wish you were in my american poetics class in my workshop group so I could read something worthwhile.

      that makes me laugh in a sad happy curious kinda way..
      I feel like some people would horribly disagree with you on that
      and I wish more people could..not for the sake of people liking my poetry
      but for the sake people being like-minded and open..

      thank you for the drop in
      how have you been?

    You never cease to amaze me. I actually let my heart get broken recently and this just made me feel the wind in my bones. I love that your poetry makes me feel that we are all in this hell together.

      wow...
      one thing I wish I dad thought to say..
      "The wind in my bones"

      please do excuse me if I steal that and possibly play on it..
      wowwowwow..
      haha

      I almost feel bad now though..for some reason...
      after reading that comment that is..because immediately I felt that my duty to you as a fellow poet is to make you feel uplifted..and now I'm thinking at a million words per second..
      I'm pretty tired..sorry if this isn't making any sense...
      but I'm glad to know that you're still alive!

      I hope things get better..for all of us..haha

  • brought tears to my eyes
    some of the lines were... deadly. i've missed you and your writing and it's amazing because i finally check this site and here you are, unfurling words and pushing life inside of them, like blowing a kiss.

    "break me into
    colours or
    make me breathe a
    silent fire"

    so beautiful.
