As soon as you commit yourself to a challenge another comes your way, so writing a poem each day for the month of April was put on hold when my brother was suddenly admitted to hospital....
So I dedicate this one to my brother.....
MY BIRD
caged wings fly inward
fluttering dreams float downward
the heart craves outward
the constant
the storms
the trouble
your blue of blues
the loop
the dives
the wanted
your done is well
the loom
the worry
the surrender
your tracks are marked
the beneath
the silence
the slaughter
your presence
for my birthday
you ran your fingers
though my hair
never understanding
why the world
stopped
never understanding
why your laugh
still played in my ear
beckoning
me to dance
desperate, not letting me
go
Luka Lesson, reminds me on this early morning when I'm feeling at my least creative, that April is poetry month. He has set the challenge to write a poem every day for this month....I will accept the challenge...
CAUGHT ON THE NAIL
the lump in my throat
holds your gaze
heavy on my face
there are words
you cant move
