Local writer and poet Karl Leon has submitted these two new poems for you to read.
THE BLUE.
The big blue of sky meeting sea
and how it’s supposed to impress me
when I already met the blue of your heart
as it pumps not for anything other than life.
My lifestyle is set in this very aspect of living
where the roads are simple and winding
as they carve a path to the empathetic nature,
the blue of your heart pumping away.
A child holding the severe secret against me;
that that might sever my severance to life
baron of all but the blue of your heart as it goes through its castrations of humanity.
SERIOUS SMILES.
The story just changed sorry,
it’s no longer about you and me
there’s a tomorrow that we have
to think about in the midst of all the passion
that today has in store.
I can ride for you and us
in the middle of fantasy and love
but where does the ride end;
reality begins where we have things like family to consider amongst the mix of families that already exist.
I like a flat tire because it gives us time
to bond around a common issue
where it’s just us and simple instruction, kilometers away from a new home
where we find more.
