Darris\n\nI just thought I'd unleash\nMy poetical side.\n'Cause in everyday life, \nI live to hide.\nNeed something of freedom:\nFrom time to time\nNeed something of feeling:\nTo kiss my prime, \nTo hush my cries\nTo love my eyes.\n\nI just thought I'd show\nMy virgin side:\nAll kids and maude---\nThe unaduletered tide.\nSee, I don't tend to fancy things:\nJust those crystal, cloudless, \nTruthly things.\n\nBut, since this long time,\nI thought I'd hush my mawky,\nAd stick to truth:\nNot fraud and lofty.\n\nSee feelings of rue\nAnd silent ado.\nThis time, I'll refine:\nMy poetical side.\n\nby Teyuna Trynea Darris\nfrom "Stuff I Wrote from My Heart"\n\nFollow @tdarris on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr.
