returned prison

June 5, 2020 SamT.GutierrezLeave a comment

i can hear you

yet

i can’t see you

cheer you

on

from a

distance

but i can’t see you

the boxed prison:

passed down and down

the one you’ve seen in books

long ago

didn’t believe it existed

yet here it is;

still around

i know you are there

and i see you

wonder wander trail

January 7, 2020 SamT.GutierrezLeave a comment

i’ve written this a thousand times

told you in a hundred ways

will remember you for ten lives

and love you entierly in this one-

i worry the metaphor will fail you

be lost in a bee hive as i’m covered in honey

rip my chest open with your pooh like claws

and never leave this cave,

Quote~

And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen
Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.

William Shakespeare
(A Midsummer Night’s Dream)
