Practice

I'll start with something simple
and build it up real tall-
then once the work's complete
I'll just destroy it all.

And when I build it up again
surely I'll just let it fall.

Although in trying to reach
even the tiniest goal
I promise destruction
only helps the final mold.

Commit me- if you Must

So difficultly I
tangle with memories
that choose to draw me in
as if I had a choice.

Drawing words to describe
how important it is
to leave the past behind
is difficult at best
and with understanding
explain that I'm a mess
in such a way you might
stumble across the catch.

Wedding Planning

I have the sound of pulling heaven down
stuck in my head
as my diligent planning takes its place
every detail
takes time to grow into reality.

At times it seems
that this can not be my reality
and still sometimes
life can be vague, and growing can be hard.

At heart I know
that our growth will be never ending
and the sound of pulling heaven down is
more than just a song.

Make it Right

Speech is signified by its word
     and the work behind it
     seems somewhat obscure.

Scratch it out
and the meaning
becomes less secure.

So when the meaning
became so slurred,
I kept writing
till my hands were sore.

Because after all there is no
pattern of words to describe
the faces of the past.
