ENGLISH GENRES : WOLF Professor Francis

WOLF

The sun shines through the blinds
Yet the heat does not warm me
My soul is wandering with an unconnected mind
Left in one big surreal, left cut open
Longing to feel

Moments are now temporary
Your smile is deranged
The face prominent in the pebbles in my head
Now turned to grain
I wait for you to walk in, to return the glow to my cheeks
Give the beat to my heart , the movement to my feet

I have hung you in my closet, then back on the shelf
I have thought of your demise, and claimed you for self.
Saying "we will come back", my tung speaks these lies , our future unfamiliar in your doe like brown eyes

I have killed you off and thus brought you to life
Worn the apron as your mother
And the veil as your wife
Gave the water as your coach
Instead you ripped my heart , drew a pin now wear it as a broach

Forcing myself to tell not a soul
My true feelings I put on hold
I regret to accept that our young love grew old
Until then , I will wait for my heart to mend
This dark shadow to move
This rainstorm to end
Not bitter from the absence of love
But more abandonment from a friend

My hands now are cold
My words lack feelings
I'm back to square one
While I wait for true healing once again solo

My lone wolf now revealing

Explanation of Wolf.

I chose the style of confessional because I admired the way Sylvia Plath could so easily get her ideas on to the
paper without being judged. When people read the confessional I realized that she was able to speak to
the whole world. No one shunned her or said they couldn’t read this , everyone listened. She was then
able to find peace within herself. I wanted to create an art , similar to her. Which is why I created wolf.

Writing this poem was difficult because I had to bear my soul to the page. I also had to return to a place
I have not went to in a long time.
