Head over Heels
Sun kissing my neck, memories licking at my toes
Kinetic energy running through my body
Itching to release the power of the prose
Take a deep breath, let the feelings I feel bleed on to the page
Let out the tears of sorrow, the trembling excitement
Let out the sting of envy, the burning of rage
Push the pen forward until it's enough
Unloading the lead-like mind
Filled with sandpaper thoughts that rub rough
Hours past, maybe my lifetime
Feel the pooling ecstacy as I almost reach the top
Push off at the Earth's internal sign
Feel time rewind
Then feel my mind crash forward
Hitting rock-bottom hard
Head fighting soul, heart wrapped in cord
Language and anguish orbiting like planets
Until the black hole that is ink makes them vanish
And seem outlandish
I break through the water, heart feeling wrung
And I smile
Because I am in love.
