Green

Cadence

It’s your favorite color.

Always has been

Appearing to have a grasp on your emotions.

Your words are calm….

Calculated.

Your words are helpful….

Toxic.

Your words are comfort….

Trapping.

Your words are trusting….

Blindly.

The balance is wrong

The balance is skewed

As you can see only your view.

Green is life.

Green is poison.

Your words are seeping

Leading to strife....

Change

When I was little, I used to lay outside

and reach my hands up to the sky above,

Convinced I could touch the great moving clouds if I just extended my arms a little further.

I’d move with them

Shifting, changing, becoming a new form with every push of wind

I’d gaze at the clouds and assign them names

Look! It’s a cat! It would soon amble away,

This one’s a boat! It would soon sail from wher...

Awakening

Time seemed infinite

I thought I had more

Now the end is imminent

And its shaking me to my core

It’s unimaginable

How its coming so soon

It’s unfathomable

And I don’t know what to do

Everyone seems one step ahead

I do my best to match their pace

But all too quickly my mind fills with dread

The future is approaching me with a blurred face

The path seemed simple

The path seemed hop...

1461 days

Feels like forever,

Is covered in the desire for the end of the endeavor

Plans flow like a calm brook in a forest,

Gently and smooth, absolutely fearless

Then 1095 days

Memories of the days prior linger

We glance back and think that now we must be mature.

Yet,

Still there’s more to come,

Hopeful, we start to run.

Now 703 days

The questions pour in-

Where? When? Who? How? Why...

Facade

They had gotten into another argument again, he said she said and whatnot. He was tainting her reputation without observing his hypocrisy. “Look at you calling ME spineless behind my back.” Is what she’d said. Now she was going to dinner with him, and not willingly.

The process of getting ready had many steps. Rose was convinced it was easy to get lost in them. Especially when preparing for a bi...

Mystery

Growing Pains

I miss it.

“It” is how I saw the world before I learned about it

How I saw the world before I witnessed death, and heartache

It dulled my vision, dulled my dreams

Now in my head all that’s left are screams

No one notices, they’re all screaming too

Mine are drowned in sea of blue

They melt together and become white noise

While we all walk about, with a fallible poise

Colors have melted ...

Yellow Roses

I have a little box

A little box protecting my memories

It locks them away, safe and sound

If I wish to see them, here they are found

I kept the petals of the Yellow Roses, they make me smile just as they did

On the day you gave them to me.

They hold your smile, your love, and your care

And reflect the golden of your hair...

Bide Your Time

Cadence

All good things come to those who wait

We can sit, we can delay

This form of art takes days-

Days to form

Days to perfect

We have time to bide

The clock has been checked

The work pours from the paintbrush

Falls

Into

Place

But now it runs

It runs down the canvas

The art has started a race...

The Mask Is Slipping

Cadence

1 min read

The mask is slipping

Down

My face.

It has become slick with defiant tears.

The mask is slipping and melting

Into a new one

My words have turned into a ghost

And floated away

My thoughts filled my head

They piled high

Towered,

Over,

Me,

It sits on my chest and I can’t breath

The expectations

The unknown

No one notice...

The House Is Not Home

Cadence

The key I’d received still fit the house

But it no longer felt like home

The joy was buried in the backyard

Alongside my dog

My hope fell from my body

Like the leaves during autumn

Away from the old tall oak tree

The tree was rooted outside the kitchen window

The window was foggy

Clouded by the resentment

I walked up the stairs wishing they led to the past

The past where we all got...
