Just Noise
i don't know what to write anymore
my words are like ashes fallen from my mouth
empty and bitter
dried and tasteless
and when the moon did speak to me this night
i ignored her loving plead
this night of
love and passion
intimacy and new promises
but my harp strings have been clipped
melody no longer flows here
and poetry
is but longing memories waiting for
a desperate encore
no, i'm not bitter
just
lonely
if i can make you laugh
then i'll smile
i'll walk through dreams like surging rivers
flow from one reality to another
changing channels, lanes, cars, shoes
but in the end
i'm walking with my shadows
again
in an ocean of human emotions
it's suffocating
just like
love
it's suffocating
if i can bear pain like a soldier
then
salute my broken heart
attention! march!
one!
two!
one! two! three!
seven-hundred and thirty!
days
ways i've done what felt right
but unlike symphonies
i'm just noise
inside
unbalanced, tilted, warping records
playing my theme song
just noise
