9 Years Ago


I would like to learn more about poetry and continue to write. Here is my very first poem. I welcome ALL comments. Thanks! A

"Heavy and Kind"

A change in direction at the audible tone
Exercitation of the intellect, my attention is held
A kind hearted friend deceived
By an unmatched supremacy
To your sonorous call I reply

Opposite I sit, quiet with fear
Your eyes pierce mine with a hungry glare
A victim of the Hawthorne effect
My framework suddenly broken
A crumbling foundation, cracked from the roots of your tree
The damage of a welcome invasion  

Into the night, we walked
A familiar feel, a clouded mind, a wanting heart
Shielded by dissimilation
Virtues hidden from your unspoken judgment  

The bitter taste, I savor
I hear no voice but yours
A crowded room with empty chairs
Like lights so bright you can’t see the stars
An unrealized potential
Burning inside like the spirit I swallow  

Attainable now, a final reply
The city lights, shy, watching from behind the curtain
No stone left unturned
In a dark room at the top of the stairs  

Under your wooden canopy I stayed
Too scared to stir
The risk of returning to your cold too much
But there you laid, heavy and kind
Your breath warm on my cheek
Holding me in your air  

Daylight creeps in
Shining on simmering coals
Unwelcome exposure in a dark room with sensitive film
Shadows replaced with honest tired eyes
Perhaps a warning of the impending storm
Coming towards a foundation still too weak to hold  

A refreshing breeze, a day anew
Two glances behind, one deep breath in
A moment of hope exhaled with the sharp air
The night immortalized
I drive away from the golden sun, breathless again
Reaching for something more
Like longing for a dream you wish was real
