Halloween Candy

Katie Lyn

1 min read

Sticky pops

And gooey cubes

Vibrant dots

And milky hues

You shove them down

Without a count

Hoping your stomache

Won’t make a sound

Crinkle crunch crinkle

Your stack of goodies dwindles

Now gone are the lollies

The chocolate

The bears

Gone are the pumpkins

The memories you’ve shared

Only in your mind

These candies exist

That sweet, sticky smell

The crunchy, crinkling comfort

Of a taste time can’...

Love?

Katie Lyn

Love

I crave it

Yearn for it

Not just silly affection

But a tidal wave

A wildfire

Destroying me

Rebirthing me

Deep in my chest

I feel it’s shadow

It’s ghoust

It claws holes through my body

Presses kisses to my soul

I need it

I crave it

Yet I wait to have it

When will i get it?

I want to seek but never do

Instead i wait for it to find me

For it to bind me and set me free

When

When when when

Will it...

Garden

Katie Lyn

1 min read

Your mind is a garden, your thoughts are the seeds

You can grow flowers, or you can grow weeds

You can’t change your environment, but you can look for the light

If you surround yourself with good people, they can help you escape the blight

Water is odd, so make sure to think

Too little kills you, too much and you sink

Your mind is one great, beautiful garden

Don’t forget about the little plants...

Accelerating

Katie Lyn

1 min read

In the past I longed for the present

In the present I long for the past

In the future I’ll long for now

But now I long for some other time

Some time away from this

Past, present, future

The feeling haunts me throughout all times

The ache

The dread

The knowledge I hold in my bones

That I shall never be enough

My missteps will come to bite me

As the clock ticks get closer

I’m on an accelerating trai...

Clay

Katie Lyn

1 min read

Sometimes I feel like clay

Weak and impressionable

Bending to others will

Don’t wear that shirt

Don’t wear that skirt

You look like a fool

But then I’m unhappy

Yet I’d rather be unhappy

Than judged and scorned

Yet the worst part is

Most of it’s in my head

Not many people care what I wear

Though the voice in my head says otherwise

It tells me they all care

They all judge

They all hate

And I don’t ...

Forgive, But Don’t Forget

Katie Lyn

1 min read

I may forgive

But I never forget

For I will not be made your pet

Forgiveness is saying

That yes we can move on

If you can change,

My need to never forget will be gone

Yet in the case

In which change never occurs

That is why I remember

That is when my action spurs

And I will move on

Thought it will hurt,

I will leave you behind

That is the best I can do for my mind

So I shall forgive

But never forg...

My Mayfly

Katie Lyn

1 min read

She was high off of life

Savoring it’s every moment

Living like there was no tomorrow

Carefree, like a dandelion seed in the wind

Dancing through it all

Beautiful in every way

Yet I was drunk on only one thing

Her

The dimples in her cheeks

The lines left by her ever present smile

The curve of her jaw when she tilted her head

The color of her hair in the sun

The kaleidoscope of shades that could ...

Tomorrow/today

Katie Lyn

1 min read

The shield of tomorrow has fallen

As the hands finally reach midnight

And the floodgate is crumbling

As the tidal wave pushes through

It drowns me in expectations

I shall never see throguh

The daylight breaks

And the birds chirp their songs

So I pray to whomever listens

To please do me no wrong...

Lacking Inspiration

Katie Lyn

1 min read

Inspiration

Is very odd

It is also something I lack

It strikes you at the worst possible times

And leaves you promptly after that

Inspiration is like a dog

You wish you could call it back when you please

But that usually doesn’t happen

Anyway

This was quiet the odd poem

Because if you couldn’t tell,

I’m currently lacking inspiration

And I’m really not sure when I’ll get it back

Gray

Katie Lyn

1 min read

They say it’s boring

That color of gray

But it’s a feeling of calmness

All night and all day

It’s the color of the clouds

As they fly so high

It’s the feeling love

And warm goodbyes

Sometimes it’s melancholy

But it’s an emotion you still feel

The feeling of stillness

Just before sleep

The color of words

And wise old hair

Gray isn’t boring

It’s anything but that

So remember this next time

Y...
