could – Wordman of Alcatraz

Promise

June 12, 2023 by wordman2022

I told you I would promise
You anything I could. So I
Decided to pluck the earth
Out of the sky to give to
You, plus a few extra stars
Because I love you.

Declaration

April 27, 2023April 27, 2023 by wordman2022

If I could make someone
Else feel seen, feel safe
For a brief moment, feel
A little less alone, I would
Have accomplished my
Goal as a poet.

Cathedral

April 12, 2023April 12, 2023 by wordman2022

Sitting in the center of
The city stands the
Towering cathedral,
A source of faith and
Worship for followers
From all over the city.
It could be a finger
Pointing straight to
Heaven.
