Build castles with me
Put out the stubs of your anger,
All your wasted working days, in me.
Build your bonfires, hold your parties
But lay your head and your blanket of troubles
On the grains of my broad back
Hide in me; cry in me; confide in me
Love washes over me,
Causes me to cling to you,
To those parts of you
That leave their mark on me so—
The back of your neck, your soft arms
Your gentle hands, your toes,
the arches and soles of your feet

This was originally meant for Project Formalin, (I just love appending weird names to my little endeavors, don't I?) a series of videos and related work that I did for the Clavier School of Music. As a matter of course, I have multiple agendas when I make my projects. And a nasty habit of making those agendas obvious to people who know what to look for.
I found the draft in an old sketchbook. I tweaked it just tonight.

Thanks for writing this.
Hi, TIA CTQ.
The process often takes a long time. There will be days when inspiration helps you make a poem in minutes but 90% of the time, the poem stays in your notebook for hours, days, weeks and even years. 90% of my poems stink. They get better after my 3rd rewrite. :)
The best ways to write poems and get better? Keep writing and keep an open mind.
