My Mayfly

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

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

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

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

Another day goes by

The same noises follow me

The same thoughts run by

How can I escape

This never ending cycle

I’m like a bird in a cage

With no chance at survival

Every day the same

Every night so bleak

I need escape

I crave a reprisal

Get me out please

Of my endless cycle...

I Move On

You’ve come back

But I no longer need you

For when the water drys

The land adapts

And when the rain returns

The land floods

I cannot afford to flood

So I’ll put up a dam

I will not allow you back in

For I am better off without you

You suffocated me

But now I breath

An I will continue to breathe

Like the wind blows

Until I no longer can

And then I will leave this world

With you

And this life

Forev...

My Sweater

It’s impossibly ugly

This old sweater of mine

Yet I wear it each week

No matter the time


And no matter the weather

Sleet, rain, or snow

I wear this sweater every seven days

No matter where I go


It’s swollen and itchy

With threads falling away

I’ve had it for years

I know it’s here to stay


Too long at the waist

Too short at the arms

Colors mismatching

Yet it has its charms


My sweater is absurdl...

The Vase

When a vase breaks

And shards are scattered

It seems forever ruined

And to be fair, it is

It will never be smooth

Or hold no scars

Ever again

But that’s not the point

The point isn’t to prefect the vase again

It’s to put it back together

With all its glue marks and stains

The vase will never be perfect

But it will be compete

So why’s it matter if it’s perfect?

If the vase is happy

Happy to finall...

The Fall

Run

Slip

Trip

I fall

I fall?

No, I’m at the mall!

How could I fall?

I’m not that tall

Yet here I am

Above them all

They point and stare

They look quite scared

But how would I know?

I’m all the way up here!

But not anymore

No, not now

Down

Down

Down I go

Will I come back?

Who knows....

Trapped

He will give you death

And you will love him for it

He will show you darkness

And you’ll shut off your light

He will eat away at everything you ever were

And you’ll will supply him the remaining shards

Never will he apologize

And never will you leave

For you are caught

In an endless cycle of greed

Never will he surrender

Never will he heed

He rides off into the darkness

Utop his noble steed
