Soul So Alone (2011) Poem by David Joel Rodriguez

Oh well...

The day I was unearthed for poetry;
my unfamiliar heart rate had rang,
and was swept away by innocence...

The day that I advertised my poetry;
my unfamiliar heart rate harangued,
and was eager for love's suspense...

The day that 'we shared' our poetry;
my unfamiliar heart rate had sang,
and commenced gentle lovingness...

So then...

That night we celebrated our poetry;
my soul illuminated, as to enchant,
and ignited passion; drawing heads...

That night we had tested our poetry;
my soul composed love to interact,
and once more removal of threads...

That night 'the love' recited poetry;
my soul untangled as you cracked,
and unraveled the scaled insolence...

It happened...

The morn arrived to breathe poetry;
my spirit grasped the earth to relax,
and feel alive, yet stagnant...lifeless...

The morn arrived trialing for poetry;
my spirit recants a differed contact,
and perils of love and measurement...

The morn arrived addled by poetry;
my spirit's dignity flowed in content,
and yet whisper deaths next attempt...
