Just Say it

What shall I pen

On this whiteboard of life

The mistakes made or

The love of my life

The pain within

That tortures my soul

Deep in the black

Psychedelic hole

A conundrum of writings

Each a short story

I wish to not bore

Only excite you with flurry

Paint you a picture

Of colours and hues

Words to delight

Give you pleasure then blue

So why is the whiteboard

Still blank and snow white

Where is the rainbow

Cursive words to ignite

The pictures within you

To outstretch your hand

Reach for my fingers

Lift me up to your land

Of visions within you

Where my words will ring true

Resonate deep in

Your soul and heart through

But maybe I’m waiting

For you to go first

Words I will drink

With hunger and thirst

So this whiteboard remains

A blank masterpiece

Still waiting for you

Until then I will cease

Scars

Red and raw

Train track flaw

Another pain

Going insane

Healing time

Another rhyme

Feeling blue

Time standing still

Smile diminish

Friendship finished

Couldn’t wait

Gone in haste

Patience a virtue

Body now your curfew

Tired and sore

Mind implores

Sit still and heal

Scream high and shrill

Fix what’s lost

At whatever the cost

Your you

I want to climb into your throat

Where the sound is

Where you gloat

I want to slide down your tube

To your lungs

Your heart your shoes

I want To get into your skin

Feel your sinews

Your bones your shins

I want to see through you

See your images

Your views your hues

But most of all

I want to be you

Your everything your genius you

So let me into your bubble

Your space your sky

Your vision your Hubble

No more planes trips to you

It’s time to extend me into your blue

I want to end this chain to you

This metal of hope

You’ve linked of glue

Time is but a blink of an eye

This awakening of hope

Was just a lie

Patience

Whilst we wait

You play to thrill

You listen to us

Your music surreal

Like a child

Holding my breath

Longing for the bell

My phone vibrates

Humble you are

But something deeper and darker

Lurks in your head

Did we misread

One of your children

Hit the depths of your heart

Did someone depart

Left you a dart

Hitting the mark

But just like a shark

Biting you

Controlling you

Again I will wait

With abated breath for your next words

Along with the thousands

Who love you and your muse

For giving us the sweet sweet sound

That resonates with

Every cell of my being

I adore and thank you

For giving me blue
