Mark Williams Poems

You. An accidental tangent.
Trying to not gaze.
Accelerating thoughts,
Must not dwell.
...

'You are beautiful'.
No.
False start.
...

The small hill, astral farm included,
Encased by mountains of trees:
Longleaf, Silver Maple, Sawtooth, Magnolia.
Smothering undergrowth of white roses.
...

Because,
So many words to be spoken,
Choosing words, too delicate,
A puzzle with many missing pieces,
...

You do not.
Not looking into your eyes, knowing that.
The ripples in your life are so very small.
So infantile, a baby crawling but not shrieking.
...

I will never let anyone fall

Shackles, shaken - sullied on earth.
Verbose evisceration, vibrating steel,
...

Allegory to complacency.
Idling, wallows in pleasantry.
Ancient god, too bright remains.
The disc orbiting hinders mild entropy.
...

Tell me again the difference between love and affection,
I am dizzy for the loss of direction.
Stumbling blind and not knowing the reason.
Explain to me in great detail without missing parts,
...

I need to be anyone else so I can love you
Labels and names betray my rotated faces
We have told a hundred lies to be here
Walking on pins, what does it matter if we fall
...

I want what no one else wants.
Too much, and not enough strength becomes it.
Even in dreams it draws, breathes me in.
I cannot hold it but I need it close,
...
