Faith Wood Poems

Where are you, Don Imus?
One less mistake and you'd be still surfing through
the radio waves into my ears
But you had the urge to be one step down
...

Watch as the vines crawl up my back
Getting tangled in my thoughts, lost in accusations
This was never worth it, you're not coming back
...

Intimidation creeps upon me
as if it is my greatest fear
It stumbles from bar to bar
searching for a fight
...

Never will I let you fall,
the waves can crash down
andwe may stumble trying to catch our bearings
But our walls will still stand
...

Don't question my expertise,
I'm on a mission
Crawling out when the bombs cease,
I'm without permission
...

I'll get into fights with clocks
but these hands can't reach outside the box
Fists form, our stomachs grow knots
and fingers fumble over the phrases we forgot
...

It was a momentary lapse of judgment,
But there you were-
Starry-eyed and sparkling like the ocean.
Your voice cracked with
...

We will make our journeys together, but apart
This is not where we end
We’ll turn around and wave, but head on our own tracks,
Knowing our limits are endless
...

It’s been three long days of endless rain
And I’m tired of the drops
Fogging up my vision-
A vision of hope and nights smiling effortlessly
...

You're a gift from God,
As mighty as the sea.
The waves circling,
But I'm steady
...
