My mind like a hungry beast
Screaming
Pleading
Biting and clawing to be free
To bleed in ink
To converse in sync
Picture perfect words of love, hope
Lies painted realistic
Mirrored events turned poetic
Lovers raging with savage hearts
Old friendships torn apart
My thoughts are of another time
Romantic kingdoms grown up wild
Brighter bluer emerald skies
Emotions that refuse to die
But in moments of fleeting time
My thoughts flirt with the desires
Of you and I
Soft crashing of passions
Silk flown love and maybe
Flying dove
I’m stuck in my head
At least I can say
I’m left to be with the company
Of my poetry
