it cant be something simple

by Travis G Finborg

How to express my love
For those that seem to destroy me with a breath
There whims and fancies
Spreading out before me
Like a pool of sound waves
Refracting, collection dissolving
How do I express my love
Do I enjoy watching my hateful
Actions bring about
Emotional distress,
Contemplating in my basement
Of emotional disconnection
The affect I will have on those I cannot touch
Watching a whirl of wind
Peal apart the leaves
Flaking and distressing
My love is a physical
Reaction
A swell of blood and flesh
Hearing the terrible result
Of my family sliding into a version of hell
Existence of a dismal level
A desire of mine to join with the eventual, a friendly encounter
Needed to be exploded into a lustful debauchery
Let me slide into a sexual prayer
The listless god of physical pleasure
I will forget my humanity
Become a base being reacting on impulse and leisure
Let me anywise this after the semen has dried
Let me picture my guilt gnashing its teeth
In the interior of my skull
A small tumor of emotional reaction eating a way through my conscious thought patterns a wave a small wave a trickle falling suspended in the air collecting dust as it falls into a pool the pattern of circular reaction slowly bouncing off the interior
How do I express my love
For the distracted immersed youthful exuberance
The last time I saw your face it was a good bye
The last time I heard your voice it was groggy with sleep

Enjoyed this. I could feel the progression as you wrote it - starting off collected with a single idea and then flowing into a heavy array of emotions - poetry is very therapeutic for this reason. Vivid word usage - 'leaves flaking and distressing'. Your intimacy with the reader is a solid - good work.
