Poetry Practice

I said I would be practicing and meant it its taken me better than two weeks to work up to sharing it but here is my first Piece of Poetry in Four Years! Not my best but I'm not looking to share my old work (unless you want to read it).

"Beyond Sight and Sound"

In the intimacy of my mind, I find that thoughts can bind.

My heart pounds in the shadow of my souls wounds
With every Pulse comes my last breath
That gentle sound pulling me into the ground.
Still my chest rises with each trial that passes
Still there is more...
Like a hawk in hood and jesses.

In the Intimacy of my mind, I find that thoughts can bind.

The well is empty, a pressure builds from within
An ache that I crave
Still I have fallen in that heady tailspin.
Dancing and spinning whirling through life
Like a bottle in the tide
A trapeze act bound and tied lifted in strife.

In the Intimacy of my mind, I find thoughts can bind.
