this house

Contributed by followfast on Friday, 13th April 2012 @ 11:23:54 AM in AEST
Topic: abstract



If my house was not skin
then it would have to be paper,
with ancient lunar calendars
written on the sides of my neck.

like a magi i would wander
moving in my secret phases
until many days passed
with a head of white
return home full and whole.

if my house was not bone
then it would have to be glass,
stained and frail
i would break in pieces
to form my mosaic the
drunken poet.

with blackened shades
of green and brown,
i would hang ornately
in some old window of a
luthern church in the minnesotas.

my darkened eyes being
brightened by the passing light
and i would be happy again.

if my house was not blood
then it would have to be ink
and i would be in a poem
on this piece of paper
some how whole
happy and content.....

That was a very unique style, and i loved it. Not the kind of poem you see every day.

Enjoyed the unique style of writing,expression flow and self exploration, true poetic style always stands out and it's quality speaks for itself.
