Thawing Torment
Immaturity is a weed,
It grows inside you’s and me’s.
We spend our lives picking at it,
Attempting to clear the pit,
Only to eventually find by doing so
We’ve emptied it.
Our bodies the garden of Eden,
Genesis only the seedling
Granting the light that torches life.
Each of us begins with the same concern,
Watching brothers sing the serpent’s curse.
But like all things variations exist,
My weed is deeply rooted,
Imbedded in my fingers
Tracing back into my wrists
Haggardly stubborn to exist.
Yours is a dandelion road
That welcomes soft blows of breath,
Claiming wishful truths exists,
Coaxing infestation from both our lips,
Plaguing your mind with yellow venom
Eagerly awaiting nourishment from lapping sips.
There’s a million remedies,
Hundreds of doctors to see,
Mine speaks in rhymes to me.
Excavation is not impossible,
But none of it last very long.
There is no cure for conscious wrong.
Except maybe time
And a refrain
From calling you mine.
Friendships bloom in May
It’s always been that way.
The month of flowers and fresh face,
A time for warmth and utter disgrace.
The incubated winter months
Amplify the young saplings’ lust.
May came too early for you and I
But give it a year, the wind is nigh,
In a fortnights time the sailing will be just fine.
