intensity burns
    the flame rages
      deep
and the fire
   kindles
      low
a spark may shoot
   or fireworks
within some
   lover's walk
our flame burns deep
   and grows
      with each
word we speak
   and look
      we share
the sparks will fly
   but requiem
      to the
   sodden glow
of core soul knowledge
   understanding
of the love
      bigger than our own
   our frailty
the love broken
   to bring
      life

A floating memory
  a hesitation
i like that word
  i think
i cannot sit
  or focus
    or move
  with any sort of
    intent
  in this classroom
I am chained

blessed madness (ADHD)

I cannot focus
   close my eyes
afraid to dream
   long for blackness
long for silence
   long for quiet
in my mind
   i cry


This blessed curse
   gift of madness


words cannot express
   will not still
but stir these
   maddening thoughts


Frustration
   wars within the members
of my body
   i want to be off
it all

Words
   simple words
mock my world
   the world i know
i see
   so differently
the frustration comes

over things i see
   and understand
but cannot place
   in words
