maybe

Post by whoaisme » February 27th, 2015, 11:00 pm

maybe god is under
a different roof
maybe parents should
let the child choose
their name
maybe i've become

a ghost, not mine,
in my own skin

maybe all flags
are wrong
constantly at
hand cuffs'
edge and
comforted by
restraint

and when my prayers
are halfway houses,
i don't say hi
to angels.
i don't make friends
with the demons
who

can also quote scripture.

maybe home is a whisper
maybe i don't belong here

reluctant and afraid
of paradise

when i say god
i say me too

Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

beautiful reflections in this one....concepts we must all wonder about.....in the end all poetry is is kind of about, what does it all mean....artfully constructed piece....the line breaks, the food for thought.....really enjoyed this
