surreal poetry
Surrealist poetry embodies the essence of poetry itself, drawing upon shocking imagery and lyrical incongruities to comment on the inner-workings of the mind.
Life Behind Bars
Temptation is what reached out to you, latching onto your hands tightly and whispering, "Come with me to the dark side where all of the addicts reside." And, because of addiction your entire emotional and positive thought processes hung you out to dry. So, there you sit behind cast iron bars, in a dingy room with no windows and just a pot in which to tinkle in. Walls covered in curses by those that sat there before you find themselves trying to reach your heart. You fight for healthy air, yet you soon discover in a place like this there is no bloody chance. As you exhale, your hands find themselves clapped around your ears, trying to drown out the voices of your roommates. Not a day goes by that you don't worry about your own personal safety, and you dam to hell the temptation.

Common ground
You have to be some kind of presence these days to invade the space I’ve built within. Maybe you’re September air where the breeze finally breaks through from your window to where you rest with your loves. A book you don’t want to read too fast but savior with your black coffee in bed. The morning sun turns to rain allowing you to feel at ease with your level of productivity, this slow paced sweet space now comes with sound. You’d have to be some kind of presence to involve yourself with me here. My best friend with the golden mind who is always kind and never leaves me misunderstood. She knows best to let me rest. And when I’m awake she knows and she lets me be free to be as weird of me I only know to be. She would never change me.
