breaking into my silence
you steal away my soul
leaving me lonely and afraid
and out of control
aching I break
and fold in on myself
all alone I sink to
the floor
and still I ache
for more
kill me with your
words
swallow me with
your soul
swallow me whole
swallow
me
whole
.

2003 Patti Keno Poetry the caterpillar boy
by pattikeno
What would I be
with out this pen in
my hand
this notebook resting
on my knee
the words scratching
their way to the
surface
longing to be heard
where would I be
some other place
I wouldn’t be here now
I wouldn’t be me
not without my pen
and paper
not without my words
I wouldn’t be me
I wouldn’t be this…
happy
