Supernova Heart Poem by Samantha Campbell

The night
is so still

BUT

I N S I D E

Words fill the spaces
and the formality of my mind

A Merry~go~round of spinning thoughts

Ancient stars gather in dreams

The moon sighs
trapped in a net
of stars

To the emotional sphere
where the broken go

Slam poetry
at the base
of earth
cause I

i(S) hout
(L) oud
(A) mongst
(M) an Kind

See I'm full
of flavors

Exploding like buds
Birthing roses

Tongues tasting upon
the dew filled petals
of this pink blossom

But its so hard
to keep these thoughts
between the lines

Blurred truth

Broken realities

Nights alone
that make
my soul ache
and my body hunger
reflective confectionery

Mystical
magical
moonbeams
waves of insanity

As ambient light
keeps seeping

Hands out begging

As if I'm reaching
from lunar standing
unable to touch
unable to kiss

Forever doomed
to yearn

So with this pen
I piece together
desire and sorrow

I speak here in these pages
with a sob throat-ed beat
engulfing every syllable

I let it rock
scribing with
every pulse

Electrifying like
static shock

Words coursing
like amps

Not trying to drown
in loveless hope

Cause I'm stronger
with my words

My brain shuts down
as silence becomes sound

Or does the world not know
that the words echo through me

Reverberating Desire

I'm Exploding
cause I got a
Supernova Heart
