The broken worlds we hide inside; that’s how we start to die!
ODD KENThe broken worlds we hide inside; that’s how we start to die!
ODD KENRespect pain. Every heartfelt word is first born from sadness.
ODD KENAnd when the cold comes, I swear I can feel her in my bones.
ODD KENToday I can see the cracks on the wall they’re visible; but I can tell they are finding their way to soil, And so am I.
ODD KENI held my breath underwater and felt surrender in my lungs; maybe this too counts as love.
ODD KENMaybe water is not entirely lost when soaked into sand. Maybe it finds a better resting place to call home; and I hope she did too.
ODD KENTo heal is to be constantly reminded that once you learn to punch, you die with blood on your wrist.
ODD KENWhen I say I love you, I mean something raw something below the surface of all waters; something almost too naked and true!
ODD KENAfter healing I’ll run back to her – of course this poem demands a brutal ending!
ODD KENI’ve seen it, I know it too; love still dances in the fire after the rescue.
ODD KENSorry to a heavy heart in the morning; sorry to waking up and being yourself the only reason to cry.
ODD KENYou’re gone. And I think I’m only trying to mean a lot to myself too.
ODD KENI’m a drunk poet; and I guess maybe I sipped too much of what I couldn’t buy of her.
ODD KENI can sing love; only I’m afraid the lyrics might get shattered again.
ODD KENOften times the language is different; by which I mean, I love her, and it’s the only stammer I’ve ever known.
ODD KENSometimes even in pain we smile to the world until we think we’re dying.
ODD KEN
