My latest poem, titled, "Brittany." |
Poem: “Brittany” BY Neil Micah Lannom (11-30-18) Her looks She was strong But her teeth To find beauty In her However She wasn't a model But I loved her I found her Her qualities Good qualities To find them In a woman I discovered... Beauty, where beauty probably couldn't be found? Where beauty wasn’t found I found it In her Why? She became something To me Her mind It was troubled I could see her pain However I saw something in her Something good, greater She washed She washed my clothes It gave her purpose I brought her back Gave her something Light, direction, a gift! She had a brain injury? I saw the scare What happened to her? I still don't know I dont know much about her She didn’t talk much, about things... Did she love me? Come to love me? Then grew cold? Or was it me? Did I push her away? My own fault? What I loved about her most... I discovered her strength! It inspired me! She tried to find peace... Around them, around me... But couldn't They hurt her, I hurt her It killed me! How could they, how could I? They pushed her away from me I thought I'd pushed her away? Was I the one who broke the relationship? I wrote this in the ward Back now, at the group home This evening... They are blocking us meetIng, now Rules, absurd... Dark forces, destroying our fragile relationship I was drinking alcohol before Thought I'd blew it, that night... Things are different now She needs help She needs me She needs my love, comfort, kindness, gentleness... Good girl I think we made love My memory... Time to start anew... I'm going to love her, again! Don't let them take her from me! |
