I used to be a poet once
But now I've lost my spark
The words that once came freely
Are lost now in the dark.
I try not to get discouraged
At this subtle, painful change
But I've become a different person now
Though I yearn to be the same.
I inhale lemon.
A sweet breath
That ushers in my sleep,
So then i waver
Into a state
Filled with nothing
Except the scent
Of tangerine dreams.
I stole your name
From the gusts of wind
And wondered
If it was destiny?
Summer is gone
Just a heartbeat away
My life feels empty
As I waste my days
Sitting inside
Seeing no one at all
Maybe life will be easier
At school in the fall
Everyone loves the fall, it seems
But nobody ever thinks
About the tragedy befalls
Every fallen leaf
Their blood has been sucked out of them
Like a vampire with it's prey
And their bodies tumble helplessly
Like rain on a chilly day
And that crunching noise you love so much
When you tread upon the leaves?
You're stomping on their skeletons
And crushing skulls beneath your feet.
I didn't know I loved
An idiot
Until he said
He loved me too
Love.
The word is full of expectations. You think there will be joy and comfort in love, you think there will be safety and confidence. However, the truth is that love defies expectations.
It shatters what we think we know and enhances truth in our lives. The truth about love is that love is truth, and that is something that is untaintable.
Snowflakes fell like nimble dancers
Landing softly
Upon your freckled nose
As our laughter fogged
In crisp air
We ran
And nearly slipped
Like a foolish man
Might fall in love
During the wintertime
Can you stay with me
For a little while
Until i fall
Asleep?
