When This Hand Writes: Through and Through

On this page, I will explore creative writing through poetry

Through & Though

Distant Lands

A Calm Less Sea

A Poem or Two

T H R O U G H  &  T H R O U G H

Pierce me now, through and through 

All the way until my attention is yours

Search my heart in solitude

And then again when it's busy with chores

If I am not known, fully and true

I’ll never be rid of this protective shell

And if that day never comes, what will I do?

I’m alone in here and it smells of hell

But I do not only want to be known

I seek to know the one who awoke me!

I’ve heard his voice and know its tone

But then it was gone in a hurry 

Or did I go and leave you there?

Off on your own in some other place

If that’s what happened, please tell me where!

I’ll go this minute and plead my case

Until I’m walking everyday with you

I cannot be known, fully and true

And until I’m fully known by you

Pierce me again, through and through

D I S T A N T  L A N D S

I'm off without a master plan

To the grounds of a different sand

The people of another man

I'm off into a distant land

Out on a calm less sea

A man was destined to go

He cursed in disbelief

At waters he did not know 

She took him into her home

And made him to believe 

That when waters can be blown

Man must sleep the great sleep

A  P O E M  O R  T W O

I cannot stop this writing 

It flows like a river still

The more I let it take me

The less that I’ve had my fill

First, a poem or two here

Then a poem or two there

And soon, I'd trespassed beyond

Into a new world, I’d fared

But what of the one I know?

Shall I exit the river?

I fear the repercussions

I long to be a giver!

To give away what I see

And to show the world my life

Through words with special meaning

To let you peak through these eyes

If joy is found in giving

Then in the river I’ll stay

To new worlds it will take me

And I’ll give it all away

Yes, I'll give it all away!
