If you knew who I am

Speech is overrated
all I do is talk and listen
and verbally respond and proverbially refrain
Be responded to but not remember what
In tongue, in cheek, in words, in what
But nothing ever gets done
In the frame of my season

If I could just be silent and be still
instead.
Perhaps I could move through a sculpture
or sing through a dance
listen with a gentle nudge
speak with a glance
I'd paint between the lines
Articulate the silence of the stars
Compose the hues of ocean depths
With a simple rhythmic move

And stain my freedom with blood and sweat
like my forefathers and mothers did
to provide a house for my lineage
A triage of heritage merits and debt
It's nothing I could repair with my own fret
Or the words that I so mindlessly spit

My movements have grown dull
I'm disenchanted by my own
Impoverished soul
Has my music lost its voice?
Has my motion lost its force?
But I will redeem the time that's lost
I will remain obscure to regain the works of my hands
That speak of a greater Word
Than what I have ever uttered forth.

Slurring

To exploit the basic needs
of human connection
this world does
Wreck emotion to
fit its evil deeds
Fucked

that



I'm







stuck
in.
for a short while I won't forget the pain
Full stareless memories that
I didn't know You yet
during then are
sorry
hurting

searching
to finding You is all possible
glee find laughter
learning

who would steal my
heart
for a simple stare from me

this worthy man who
Fulfilled this basic need


of Love

while
the whole world is saying

Don't




hurt me
