    Paper

    Burns is bridging

    And bitches are yearning.
    I’m not going but I’ll be there
    Picking lies out of your hair.
    I feel like rhyming and making up words
    I want to go where spoken flowers grow.
    Between grains of dust beneath my floorboards
    With all I should care for
    Lies heavy reality evermore
    I’m light as paper
    Paper planes with carton panes.
    It’s all there on the thin sheets
    Instant escape from banality rape
    To word worlds.
    Where wars are lost wars cause frost
    Pieces for peace and beloved written torsos.
    I wrote therefore I was
    I read therefore I still were
    I grab my pen to be
    Paper calling for me.
    I paint in letters
    Letters of pain
    Convoluted and sent away
    With everything written I can’t deal with
    Burned bible
    Yearning bridges.

    This is very well written, my young friend, with great insight into life, for someone so young, I too paint with words and this is a great write. Walk in love, peace and freedom, Olan
