Poem of the Month

The Only Direction by Patrick152

This has become ten times what it was and has built up enough strength to stop day break and swallow us whole.
Never Return to this evening,
just don't ever start.
Oh, now you have got me started and I can tell you still wish you knew have as much as you pretend to.
Don't fake no crime or victory, don't play your songs under the frozen skies of this rural background.
Don't better this.
We wont ever begin to describe our flat silent ride home. Pledged to stillness words few and far in between, captured by the winterized flat feilds that clutter all windows and run every direction.
This will continue until our return. To the home that held our hearts, the home that holds me with you.
Yes, the home where I truly knew I loved you.
