Shane Engisch Poems

Even the greatest moments, calmest actions, most peaceful energy, would be unable to tear it off once it sticks
it winds you up for everything and causes one to just pace instead
Eyes get dizzy from observation of another's and can assimilate the same hold
Tension continues to escalate and bottling it up only makes the explosion imminent
...

The working man gets home at night
after working nine to nine
He's trying to make it
...

Thunder in the stomp and lightning in the palms
Heavy and dense, the collision is coming on
Strong surges coursing through as the motions expand the mass
Intimidation in the fierce force of augmentation beyond grasp
...

Love, such a tender companion yet such a formidable foe.
It let's hearts wander, share, and grow.
Some say love plays a game that you cannot win,
but it's only those who don't believe that lose and cave in.
...

Embracing this moment
time is nonexistent
captivated and locked on
could never look away
...

This world is like a moving tapestry
Vivid
The spirit behind creation and artistry
Kaleidoscopic
...

I chained myself to the earth
I planted the seed that grew into many
I chose not the stars
not the heavens
...

Ink bleeds and sets in,
but the paper can be burned by a candle lit fire

To hold treasure in boxes and bones in gold crates
...

I should be writing this down
but I'm afraid that I soon might forget
after already constructing a purpose
the action must be acted
...

Being is more than nothing and nothing is more than not

Something is not defined and everything is what I forgot.
...
