HomeA Poem by Willis WalkerLet go of the broken promises Spoken on cracked lips to plant faith We don’t need that where we are And let go of that resolution That you are alone An anomaly who’s spirit guide died Many lives ago
For mine is the one who carried me through the rocks Over the water through a dozen flocks Of blackbirds singing a mocking song They joked about her leaving but she stayed all along
And mine is the one who changed her name But kept her smile in a silver frame Grazing fingers through a glitch in space To a worn out song and a tired face
And mine is the one who held me at night A collapse of delusions at dawn’s fist light Desire brought the blizzard that held us in place The obsession on how an angel would taste
Watching and waiting For a time to appear The nihilists and martyrs Sent me here Always a first time, always surprising For every tunnel there is a horizon
For I am the one to shelter your doubts In an enigmatic embrace amongst the clouds And I am the one to keep them away The bleached out bones of yesterday And I am the one that will stoke the fire Holding you tight from that cold so dire And I am the one who left you alone To return when you needed and bring you home © 2015 Willis Walker |
