Window
It’s the constant state of mind
Breathe in and out
The cold or warm air I might
Just sleep on the floor tonight
Begging for the closure
There’s times it falls over
But it gets up after an hour
And I hate how we called it “ours”
Feel the cold air enter
And I shiver then flinch
When the warm air appears
Then I hide till it clears
I’ve waited years for you
To lead me on
For me to write
That I hat...
Half Of Me
She took half of me
The half that laughed when she fell
The half that was never bothered when people made fun of her
Or when her friends would leave her out
The half that was good
The half that I needed
She took it
I know she’s there somewhere
Trying to find her way back to me
In the shadows of whom took her
She is trying to find the light
The light that let her in
That let in the full of her
The...
Window
My bones caught the chill, and I felt my quill still.
It was then, that I noticed the frosted window sill.
You had gone, and left my window wide open. Letting in the chilly November breeze that should have brought me to my knees. It had come steal my words unspoken.
The last autumn leaf fell, then chilly November turned into a brutal, and dreary December. It wasn’t until the ice on my quill, an...
Still Time For Fun
I hide in my room, resting in the bed
I’m hungered, I need to be fed
I’m thirsty, I need a drink
I’m depressed, I need to leave
Wasting away in this dim room
A breeze slugs in, imitating this gloom
I looked to my side, as the wind blows
Through that window that won’t close
Marching to the window
My feet dragging, my head low
I shove it down, to give it a shot
As I look down at the parking lot
I...
The Cycle of the Seasons
Don’t close the window
You can’t anyway.
Even if you wanted to
The breeze tickles your skin
Hear the rain pattering outside
Smell the sweetness of the rainy air
Thunder from the storms is loud
Don’t be afraid, when the
Lightning strikes big and bold.
Table wood is damp with humidity
Sun beams blind your computer screen
Trees are filled with green leaves
Green turns to gold, amber, and blood or...
Bill Gates
O window stuck like a frozen operating system in '95
A portal for dust, bugs, pollen and sun
A pathway for the symphony of nature's sounds
Wind gusts and birds chirping you bring us
My eyes are the windows to the soul
With my eyes I look out the window to see the whole.
When the sensory input is overloaded and You just want the world closed
It's like a computer that froze
Windows won't shut down...
The Room
My mind is like a room.
Sometimes it feels like a prison,
Sometimes like a home.
And sometimes just another room,
Another place to be.
There’s a doorway in that room.
Sometimes the door is locked,
Sometimes it creaks open.
And sometimes I see it’s closed,
But know that I could flee.
Next to the door is a window.
Sometimes I look out of it,
Sometimes I don’t bother.
And sometimes I stare for hour...
Windows…
Shut and then open.
Torn and then sealed.
Fought and then loved.
Yet the window to anger is jammed.
Stuck open, letting the cold creep in.
Anger comes and goes in waves…
A pattern too large for you to see.
Yet the window is- and always will be-
…open.
“You let your anger get the best of you. It’s like a writhing demon within. You feel as though you are nothing without them,” the old lady bends ...
Seasons
When one door closes God opens a window. My mother used to repeat in moments of stress, but it never quite took to me. Open windows are reserved for beautiful fall and spring afternoons where the birds are chirping and the leaves are falling and the only thing escaping the windows is the smell of fresh pastries resting on the sill. Summer is too hot with mosquitoes buzzing in looking to find their...
