I Want You To Write A Poem Off-the-cuff Right Here Right Now

One day you left your home, among
with all you hated most
You left old lullabies unsung
And swore you'd lose your mother tongue
As your small, shaking hands still clung
to one life free of ghosts.

After the ghosts had been released,
You filled up all the holes.
You got a life of mostly ease,
And never knew you paid big fees
For ghosts are mostly memories
And languages are souls.

"And languages are souls.."

I love that line. Despite its length, there is much depth. Well penned.
There was a girl who stood there by the shore who smelled of fish with roses in her hair

The ship to come had gone and all the boys were in the houses warm and rued

The cliffs did hear the pound of sea which echoed to the sound of me and here I come to Mountains to look for the.

My girls who stands by the shore will you stay wet so that I can bring you sweet child and you can bring me more.

Each word from furl I bring in breath to move the wind you feel as this blows across your breast for I love you

You stink well and I love you for the way that you smell for Child is with you

I am Man

So now you see me sitting
Right here looking at my screen,
How shiny is it looking
At me sitting at my screen?

I can tell you that it's dull,
I can tell you my neck hurts,
But you tell me you see beauty,
In the words I write, unsung.

We describe one situation,
Adding our own beliefs,
One living it and breathing,
The other watching and believing.

If only we could marry,
Those two different lives,
That the one who lives and breathes,
Also watches and believes...
