Poetry's Face
By Jonathon
From race through race,
and place to place -
the answer they need
to lessen their haste.
Tasting only their dreams,
within ones own skin.
Bleeding greatness;
seeing abstract tactics,
that stick like thumbtacks.
Visions hide from minds,
from time to time...
Blocking the writer from his find.
Which wrinkles the paper,
with its porcelain shine;
tears drop from the edges,
relieving his stresses.
Lips quiver in fear;
while I wad up my liver,
and toss with liquor and beer.
It stays there, depressed -
playing with words; hand in hand
like wordplay words stay,
creating, forming, placing,
and making cliché’s.
Unforced yet pressured,
eyebrows add a -
slight overcast to the weather.
Relating to shade tree's he's:
dark and cold,
smart and old,
with parts and folds.
His nose is like a tower,
crashing back to reality,
showering the world with it's tears.
With lips that haven't spoken in years,
and...
His neck swollen from choking,
voice cracked and rattled from smoking,
mind deep from notions he's yet to expose.
Details for miles,
will never be spoken...
So I guess it’s safe to say,
that poetry's face,
will never be noticed.
