Samuel Ezra Fisch
Poetry and Messy Feelings
Grace
Thou cannot loose my heart from thought
Which beauty longing anguish wrought
Clenched eyes visioned beauty's face
Through lonely broken inward place
Ne'er won nor lost but always fought
Burnt by gleam my eye was caught
Who's fingers across her body traced
Which left me hunger for her taste
And gave up all for which I sought
If just to find one drop of grace
Broken
Oh heart why so weak
Day by day afraid to speak
So afraid to truly feel
Losing touch of what is real
Through the cracks sorrows seep
From broken attempts to heal
Alone
I am weak in longing
what I cannot hold
searching for belonging
and to be whole
After
I don't know you anymore
and maybe I never did
All that remains is you and me
and a lot of space between
Futility
In my hands I hold the seas
and grasp wind by the reins
They escape without pains
Farewell to your heart amongst these
I am here on my knees
Empty handed covered in stains
Set me free
You set me free
With memories of your kiss
You beat me with thorny whips
softly spoken through your lips
You set me free
