Acrylic Landscape

2025

Such a large chasm 

between loving you and creating a deserved home

is the fear of the next step? Or of the first? 

 

I simply know

the notion of you leaving now 

tears cardiac tissues like Kleenex 

like nothing I've felt since a forgone era

 

But wiser men before me

said plainly, 'Don't win her heart if you're not gonna relinquish yours'

 

To which i reply, 'It's already given. Now she needs to unearth it'

Under age and soil and the ghosts of loose morals

there's a root feeding every vital organ

encompassing every patriarchal hardship

Pleading with myself

Find a shovel to reveal painted colors

an acrylic landscape of what life offers
