I’ll answer you plainly, because I care for you more than art (I’m a simple man after all, though I truly could never separate poetry from my mouth, that would be my soul that departs)
By Melissa Ingoldsby3 years ago in Poets
I am an impossibly impatient person You know that I am, it’s a failing I promise I can’t stop, I strangled the berries on my father's friend’s blackberry bush and devoured them all, even the weak ones in my youth
It is morning and I hear my darling chattering and breathing heavily, I open my tired eyes and see the blanket on the floor.
our friendship during that balmy spring break day is how I knew of my muse And yes, I’ll always, always be your friend, Your best friend, my dear Jane
yellow flowers pepper my eyes, remember all those pieces of my heart I gave to you early on that very sweet spring we began our
all the ways I say you’re not vain And you’re so talented And so beautiful And that I love you and of course I’m a romantic for you too, but a man is so bold to say so—-
sometimes I feel a part of the background Like the way I line up so perfectly Is this rare How I feel? How I can handle beats so perfectly in synch

are we short-sighted in nature or by nature Or by your short-sighted gleaning? You cut me piece by piece You sliced my well-worn mask,
I’ll sing you soft, healing balms, A hot spring break through sickness, Tea with you.
Dearest Vocal, Am I too wacky for you To win this wackadoo? Is my art a bit too fluffy Or weird Or maybe just too far off
and like a buttercup flower, you brought it to my cheeks, it turned rosy It meant that I was “boy crazy” But really I was in love with you,
