Your Ways of Inertia

My poetry is what makes me happy;

but if I were happy, I wouldn't need the poetry to be.

I see your hearts breaking without opening your chest,

so I rest underneath to catch the tears

because that's what you'll express when you have nothing left.

To look inside and say you feel numb,

but numb is still one greater than none.

The older I get my heart feels young;

the flesh is none without my soul

and my soul is none without one.

My mind spewing out like a hot gun

because love is all I want!

Spirit resurrecting without passing the sun.

Then God’s son came down to allow my body more than one love.

Unconditional love was injected into my blood.

Sacrificed the vices for the nicest love from above.

Some say f**k love

because their love has been fucked!

Lightning struck and I reached out my hand to pick you up.

And if you didn't need my help,

you could always find me without yelp.

You got yourself,

but know I got yourself just as well.

Wishing on a well and not a star because what goes up must come down.

Your ways of inertia.

Your steady inconsistency took the best of me…

And that’s okay.

Out of control when you try to grasps the things

You cannot control

Because you have never held a hold.

Wow, brother. This was really something that hit me on a deep-rooted, personal note. Speaking to some of my yesterdays with this one.
J.Cole said "don't save her, she don't wanna be saved.." and in relation to this, it can fit right in seamlessly.
Some have been broken beyond knowing how to really receive love, even as the love is genuine. It comes as a defense mechanism against their own yesterdays.
Great write of yours, bro. Even if I'm late to the dance.

Love J. Cole and his Friday Night Light. Totally forgot to add dude to our list haha
And I think that is where I'm stuck stuck, I no longer know how to receive it, so I just give it out 'till someone else takes it.I have one lady I've been hot and cold with for seven years now, but the timing is never on point. It's just not as simple as it used to be. We're all fucked up lol

Thank you Aleskandr, this was an old write that I wanted to cycle around for new reader.
I'm actually taking a class on Shakespeare and his Sonnets. So you may see me but some of those out in the near future... Thank you once again for spending the time to read.

Layers with more than meanings..

Flow which gives certain pace which live's in the melody of thought...

To play but never let loose but chain and give it freedom to flourish... go without bounds..

Existanza... to have shown to vanish but wonder to come back..

Afterthought with forceful need

my favourite lines were" To look inside and say you feel numb,
but numb is still one greater than none.
The older I get my heart feels young;
the flesh is none without my soul
and my soul is none without one."

Very complex yet understood well, I really liked this piece.

Thank you so much for spending the time to read Kuma, I highly appreciate it and I'm very glad you enjoyed those lines!

[Coyote Poetry]

Honest and good thoughts in the poetry.
"Out of control when you try to grasps the things
You cannot control
Because you have never held a hold."
I agree with the above lines. Things, we not support to have. Can't be held or controlled. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Visited the site after a long time, and what better poem for a welcome but this?
The rhyme, pace, formation is all very perky!
And a few lines get you brownie points from my side. Them being-

Your steady inconsistency took the best of me...
numb is still one greater than none.

[Ruth]

Such a battle within this...conviction to bleed the past out and see the scars without them suffocating anymore...honest and powerful write :)

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you so much Ruth!
And yes, I have to use all that to uplift me and not be dragged through the mud.

[theshygirl]

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you so much hon!

[Stan Lee]

"numb is still greater than none" loved that line. Your work is always so intricate that I feel overwhelmed and awestruck whilst reading. Amazing poetry - leaves me with so much to think about. Thanks for sharing. :)

[sinNsincerity]

Thank so much for letting me know because that is my only goal with writing... to make people think outside of themselves...
