I've Got Poetry

I've got poetry dripping off of me
Like rainwater off tree leaves
And I've got universes and galaxies
Playing out behind my eyes
I've got a live wire mind
With thoughts sparking and spitting
And I've got skin with words carved in
Written there by sharp tounges and cruel lies
I've got rivers flowing from my eyes
Formed by tears I've shed
And I've got lips like old faucets
Leaking out words in my head
I've got ears like white flames
Devouring words down

I've got a head like a drum
Beating and throbbing aches against my skull
And I've got a stomach like a caldron
Full of butterflies and boiling sin
I've got caverns in my ribs
With gems crystallized by deep breaths
And I've got a heart of glass
Frail and failing to keep even
I've got bones of stone
Stiff like marble refusing to move
And I've got knees like nervous schoolgirls
Knocking and shaking like a leaf

I've got feet like roots
Planted firmly, gripping to the ground
And I've got arms like wings
Stretching high to the sky
I've got fingertips like needles
Sewing scars and scratching out melodies

I've got poetry dripping off of me
Like rainwater of tree leaves
