Who He Is : Modern Poetry

written by Reader : Enigmatic Voice


There is a boy out there
With a dream in his back pocket
And a heart on his sleeve
He came into this
Wrapped in silk sheets
Of thunderstruck memories and imaginary lovers
His thoughts dance and sway under the sun
While his heart wanders
The dusty roads and empty parking lots
Of his hometown

There is a boy out there
Who treats his days like and ex lover
Gone, but not forgotten
He makes sure to thank
God every night for each
Borrowed, branded breath he takes
He is the wind

There is a boy out there
Who wonders why men
Spark the blazing engine boilers
Inside his soul instead of women
And does it even matter?
Take him for what he is
Or leave him

There is a boy out there
That keeps a song in his head
And a microphone in his hand
To belch out to the world
That he his here and he matters
No more does he scrape himself
Off his bed in the morning
For another meaningless day
Like a piece of 3 week old
Double Mint gum on the bottom of a shoe
He is like the howls in the night
And then he is the darkness
All his life he's chased the
Stainglass fragments of a day dream
They call 'love'

There is a boy out there
Who holds promise in his eyes
And carries a secret in his back
This boy is a lightning pulse, free spirited
Reflection in my mirror
That I can't face down
He is me...
And I am not afraid to be who he is
