For the first time ever in my LIFE, I was awakend by poetry.
No I actually woke up and wrote a poem.
The most significant part is that the poem actually had meaning and substance to it,
it was like as though I had this poetic angel kill me and there I was at 10:32 this morning a pheonix that rose from the ashes of my sleep and wrote a poem.
It was that intense...(Im pretty sure at this point you are wondering well what was the poem about?) it was about my boyfriend. Moreover, the teddybear (T.J) we built together at "Build-a-Bear" in Syracuse, New york.
The poem has no title (which added to the fact that it was so impulsive.) and here it is:
Just woke up with T.J stitched to my heart,
like i'm breast feeding.
Like kobe,
clutch in my arms,
and its only Pre-season.
If I squeeze his left hand
I can feel his heart beating.
If I squeeze the "right" one
I can hear my love speaking.
Under my comforter,
Im in a crysallis fetal position.
Right as I open my eyes,
Butterflies when will I land on the one im missing.
Tiraya,
ReplyDeleteI really love this poem, and I am so jealous of your creativity! Like Johnathan said in class... I am always looking forward to your next poem! Your work is just so original and real, and down to earth. I think I already wrote this on a couple of your pieces, but you should seriously talk to Professor McCoy about publishing some of these pieces. Best of luck in your writing endeavors and everything else. -Melissa Lynch
