He wonders if he will see the high mountains
Beyond the water fall
He wonders about the sun in the sky
He wonders whether weather feels
Does it laugh and cry?
He wonders when his time will come
And in what exact way
He wonders about everything
Every night and day
A forever wonderer
He will always stay...
I stare at the computer screen in front of me
All the words blur together
When all of a sudden
I am transported to a magical forest
Where the trees wave hello
And the birds chirp their friendly tune
Everything is serene, quiet
No worries or expectations
Just peace and happiness
I’m brought back to the present moment by a tapping
My boss says, “Where’s that report I asked for 3 hours ago?”...
The soft brush
Of your hand
On my jaw;
My heart continues to crush
Under the weight
Of your overflowing love-
“Alright! Now talk with a partner about the things a business would need. What resources? What-“
My blurred mind
Clears with the
Rough words of the teacher;
I am in class,
Not with you
I look around
In hopeless despair
Wondering what I am to do
After I woke up from my
Compellin...
He hissed in my head,
one cold dark night.
Tearing up my insides,
looking for life.
Oh and if the
darkness could
empty from his soul;
it would pour across
my body, rattling my bones.
An eclipsed melody
of strife and rot.
Just bury me in his hands;
let me dream away these knots. Stranded translucent
at my very grave.
A once love I've buried,
in whispering crave.
Inhale my heart,
pull m...
These stone are heavy; piled in my chest. But it's the crumbles of reality, that strangle me the best.
Spiderwebbed inside my subconscious, as he let my blood run dry. Inconsistent with the promise, that he would never leave my side. His words were atheist; but I once perceived him as god. He presented me with pure compassion; though I've found that too was fraud. And just before his black hole e...
Sunny day
Cloudy morning
Watching the clouds pass
Peripheral to peripheral
Blankly staring
At a beautiful morning
At ever shifting clouds
As I lie on the dewy wet grass
Sunlit shadows of night passed
Of where stars were
Clouds waving like the ocean
Foaming at its blue mouth
Sunny day
Breeze freezing my dew-slick arms
Watching the clouds shift
Their pinks and orange turning to pure white
Skyli...
Entire universes contained within my mind,
Looking to me for guidance.
Full of mystery and magic,
They lure me from reality.
Never bored,
But always distracted from those around me.
Reading and writing were always my things,
But trying to focus on math and science
When I had worlds of interesting things
Was torture.
Daydreaming is my favorite thing,
Yet those around me think
I’m w...
The world around me is collapsing
The thoughts and sounds too much
My mind is crying for escape
For a dreams soft engaging touch
The people around me are worried
As my mind begins to slip
For they cannot see inside my head,
Be a witness to my trip
All they see is my eyes glazing
My attention out of reach
As the daydreams teeth sink in
Like a blood filled leech
And although I know it worries th...
