What is a breadth good for without a diagram?



I at last I make use of my hands
A breadth to show me from beginning to end your flesh paths
I had at last found my diagram
Even though the voyage had yet to become a pursuit
My vessel was left without a float
Burst of air of, breeze without a mask
Wedged in only imagining gliding across your work of art
And soon the diagram was clear of stamp as if it was merely an figment my imagination
I saw what may perhaps be…what may possibly been.
Nevertheless so smoothly you slithered from beginning to end my grasp.
I had created abreadth…but only a diagram
I will one day find my gold diagram that will let me pursue
Its voyage for time without end.

I use poetry to release my inner most deep feelings. Poetry is my outlet to all. Its my therapy, for all that I have gone through and gonna go through.. A place where I'm able to say what I want. Whether criticized or agreed upon. Somewhere I can totally let down my hair. Think as I wish, Think as I can. Somewhere i can be me, and not care who knows, or sees me. No judgement, complete freedom to be me. more…
