Through Broken Walls
We met in season
where similes turned into
metaphores
And nouns
transformed themselves to verbs
fusing prepositions
Where our eyes
danced from dead ballets
sat on thorns
To
where our hearts
drapped hooded masks shooting bullets
to now
moments where moonlit nights
becomes our biggest haste
behind cracks of concrete walls
searching for a love
in search of love
A love
not knowing if and where we’ll find
this tangible object
producing
capabilities
where we’re able to hold with clasp
fists
causing daydreams to burst
and glisten behind cloudy skies
And grasshoppers hop on the tips
of their toes
eggar to dance in circle off planks and fly
free
So maybe now I’ll sneeze
and cry a river
that one day
I’ll find that love
through these broken walls of walls
uncracked
of my everyday insecurities
If & when
my insecurities come to be confetti
and I’ll hear someone say:
Excuse Me.

Love the cadence of this, in both sound and how it looks on the page. Nice.
Thank you Allen so much. This is my first time attending the LexPoMo. So, I’m hoping to gain as much fruitful advice from various writers. And I look forward to reading your work.
So much to like here– the way you present it on the page.
Loved:
