    CIRCLE BLOCKADE



    I.

     

    I stand in the middle

    Of a circle blockade

    To protect from

    The black crows flying

    But the circle tightens

    And I’m shut it.

     

    II.

     

    There are festivities faraway

    And I’m in the woods

    Trying to live off

    What I have only

    And nothing more than that.

     

    I call out to the outside

    But she doesn’t hear me

    Over the noises of celebration

    At the party I couldn’t attend.

     

    III.

     

    She has no time to

    Answer her phone

    Her schedule is booked

    I’m on her waiting list.

     

    IV.

     

    I break the glass

    Of the circle blockade

    With a stone.

     

    I climb a tree

    To scream her name

    Loud so she can hear.

     

    The crows take me away

    maybe they’ll carry and

    place me in her arms.

    Dude, this one's crazy good. Kinda makes me feel sad, I feel like I can relate to what ur saying

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
