Unspoken words
Rubbed against pages
In our minds, caught
In a void of noise, reaching
Out of bounds, trying
To find the release
Of electrifying verse

Why on earth would I wax the ceiling?
Is the paint up there so badly peeling?
I look up, and to my own eyes
It’s only then do I realize
Ragged pieces, hang and flutter
The cobwebs hide the messy clutter
What shall I do, I can’t stand by
Oh, why must ceilings be so high?
Perhaps, I could try, sealing wax
That’s one sure way to hide the cracks
So, when people look up, all they’ll see
Are the pieces now stuck, to the ceiling and me

Visions, like chalk on a blank slate
Smudged and smeared, patterns
Forming pictures, erased and retraced
Breathing life into empty spaces
That lay naked, unconcealed
Like a facade, to pretty them up
Window-dressings for my thoughts

In her thoughts, she could see only him
Hear the sound of his voice, a whisper
Sending shivers through her body
Her unassuming, unpretentious ways
Giving delight to his darkness
While deep inside of him, lurking
Where he found her most amusing
He would watch her from afar
Never close enough for her to feel
He was merely a distant pleasure
In the madness of her mind

Pen to the paper
Lines that I scribble
Fall slowly, my mind
Starting to dribble
A trickle of ink
A blotch full of letters
That turn into words
Somehow much better
Than leaving the paper
Barren and white
This is my legacy
At the end of the night
