Unclaimed

I never claimed to be a poet.

The words come to me,

In twisted mysteries.

I do enjoy it.

All the leeps and bound,

And tumbling sounds.

Breathing deep.

Until I feel the  ground,

Swallow me whole.

My eternal soul,

I never claimed who I am.

This person.

These hands.

These thoughts.

Unchangeable demands.

Passion creeps in.

Every crevice.

Every word.

Every syllable.

Yet unheard.

I never claimed anything at all.

Until you.

Ever expanding

Why poetry?
Why breathe.
Why feelings?
Why needs.

I need expression
I need words
There are exceptions
Rarely heard

I have desires
I have dreams
Ever expanding
So it seems…

Breathe

When I paint everything melts away. It is just me and the brush nothing else matters . Everything that was trapped in me flows  freely unto the canvas ,I feel  ,and find peace. With every stroke, and and every squeeze of the paint tube I become whole . The closest to heaven one can experince while breathing . Through my art I can breathe .

flame

As my room fills with the aroma of warmth and vanilla, the gentle glow pouring over me and my walls . the ethereal beauty of the flame as it crackles and dances in its glass . as the world succumb to slumber i come alive , haunted by words beseeching to be freed of my mind , entranced by the sound of the paper as the pen glides as if on its own accord, delighted by the sound of the keys in their rhythmic cadence . words flowing just as if they were alive all along . through the music of the night , and the light of the moon i become putty to my words allowing them to use me as their canvas .
