Unreadable

  • Not everyone follows textbook, cookie cutter poetry writing. What a boring read this site would be if that was the case...

Unreadable

Feeling like a school girl
with an all consuming crush
an unrequited love
that burns too much

But maybe these circuits are crossed
nothing was really found
but remains elusive and lost,
with this head in the clouds

Everything feels wrong
patterns have emerged
where they never should have occurred
feelings on the verge

Maybe another manic episode
until these emotions explode
machine gun thoughts
rapidly firing out of control

Don't get too excited
simmer down, calm down
don't go off the deep end
time and time again

Feeling like an alien
can't speak the language
this universal love
turning into more baggage

How much more complicated
does life have to be?
haven't the patience nor time
to work out these unreadable signs

This one puts to mind the confusing uncertainty of a new exciting love. That you are not sure of as of yet. well done. -Tonya

thanks again for reading!

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
