Asinine phrases spill out
My speech banal and my audience bored
All of the attention and glamor I fail to hoard
“Does anyone care what I have to say?”
Yet they had listened with attentive ears
When a fellow partygoer had to interject
Saying I had a detail incorrect, no disrespect
“Doesn’t anyone believe me!”
My articulation had stayed its welcome
And yet kept spilling out at full blast
It seeme...
Rays of light
And roses of white
A bumblebee takes flight
Such a wonderful sight
The earth cool and wet
I bury the seed
Waiting a few sunsets
On fresh lettuce I will feed
Plummeting droplets
Wet the soil and the roots
Moisture and sun let
My roses rise and roost
Creating life from soil and light
Makes for such a humbling sight
Harvesting basil and thinking I may
Grow parsley next season, pepper...
As the morning mist delicately peppers my face, I wonder how I got to this point. The gray clouds mosey across the melancholic sky, blotting out the sunlight. A grouping of birds soar across the sky, flying southward away from this increasingly chilly landscape. A strong gust of wind catches me by surprise, reddening my ears and nose from the cold. A gray morning for a gray life.
See, here I was ...
“It’s a shame you must go”
Is what I said to her
But in my heart I know
She should stay away for sure
Approaching the door
Then the knob turns
Hope to never see her no more
Or she spontaneously combusts and burns
I’m giddy and eager
For this woman to leave
Her love was meager
And her lies she would weave
Yet I keep a smile
My face is filled with joy
Hope she walks a mile
Over plastic Lego toys...
“And that’s how you organize a marketing campaign”
She said as her fingers ran through her luscious mane
As she pressed the black marker to her lips
I was daydreaming that it was my fingertips
Five minutes later, she called on me to answer
A question unknown, as I imagined her a dancer
And completely zoned out and failed to pay attention
She got so mad, yet it only grew my attraction
How could ...
Muddled thoughts make for muddled mind
Surety and certainty are long left behind
Surrounded by phantoms of folks I once knew
My heart is no longer honest or true
I remember before my heart became asunder
As a child this world seemed a such wonder
But the waters of life erode bit by bit
Wearing away a once indomitable spirit
It’s easy to lose yourself, to lose true north
When your passions fail...
I am lost. So lost. The chilling cold surrounds me from all sides, suffocating me with it’s frosty force and icy intensity. I have lost my ability to see, to hear, to even walk properly. I need your help.
You know what to do, right? You survived this. How anyone could I’m not sure. My fingers are frost bitten, my eyes snow blinded, my heart colder than the air surrounding it. How did I get here I...
A distant light in the dark sky
A place immeasurably distant
Who must live there, how and why
I close my eyes and transport in an instant
Trees in the sky, clouds on the ground
An exotic bug stumbles through a river
Purple liquid flowing all around
The excitement just makes me shiver
A distant call from a foreign bird
Flapping four wings with ferocious speed
Some bipedal horses herd
Chewing on ...
Left swipe. Left swipe. Left swipe. So many women obsessed with drinking and so called hiking, where is an original person? Hang on… who is she? Wow she is stunning, long black hair, piercing green eyes, and is that a bottle in her hand. God no please not another drinker. Hang on, why is there a cloth hanging out of the bottle, surely that can’t be a Molotov cocktail? Next picture, she’s standing ...
The desire to run was lost. The ability to run was lost. The will to live was lost. This is how Jeremy felt when the doctor told him that due to his chronic illness he would never run again. Dreams of state championships crushed. But less superficially than titles and trophies, Jeremy’s soul felt crushed. The freedom of barreling down the open road, legs moving and wind blowing through his hair. W...
