Poetic Eruptions

volcanos erupting inside me
find relief
in the lava that flows
through my fingers
on the keyboard
from the pen
or the paintbrush.

It disappoints
by not burning
screens or paper
not staining
reputations
not igniting
repentance.

I need a little more angst
a little more anger
a little more power
to change the world
melt it, and
pour into perfect shapes
of my poetic imagination.

  1. Dang, dude. This is hella tight. Especially this right here:

    “It disappoints

    not staining
    reputations
    not igniting
    repentance.”
