Vague Impressions of Me

I vie by my...self          However
My...self does not reply
     To what I must portray it as
           To be to others
                      To me
            To be...
                       Misinterpreted
                       Misinformed
   Or simply... Misjudged
                            Of itself
                            To itself
                      By my...self
                  My...self
              Comes by
                             To be
                   My...self
                   By misinterpreting
                                           me

My God's Garden Grows

My god's garden grows
It grows
With such vigor and force
And yet it grows with love
It holds back the winds
And welcomes the rain
It basks in the sunlight
And steeps in the shadows
It grows without warning
Request
Or decree
My god's garden grows and
I think
It grows for me

I Seem to Want Her Now

We kissed...
And like wildfire
My thoughts exploded into her
A thousand words and dreams at once
I seemed
To want her badly
I seemed
To want her more
I seem
To want her now.

To Be Not Heard

There are words that I should speak
Yet I save them from you
Feeling that my thoughts are not needed
To be heard...
O my voice!
To be heard...
But I wait.
Ling'ring in my own thoughts-
And the words I should have said
I watch myself
Thinking
And hear myself
Break
I give in
To my thoughts
And become
What I have made myself to be:
An author of the written word
Speaking not
To be truly known only to myself
To be myself
And seldom heard.
