Life and Death
seed planted
spring
sunshine, happiness, newfound love
flower blooming
summer
security, warmth, sense of bliss and immortality
petals falling
autumn
desperate grip on fading light
warm winds turn cold
flower dying
winter
thorns overtake joy
still some grey petals cling
WHEN WILL I LEARN TO LET GO?
Walking at Dawn
footsteps echo strangely off cheap fake stone
the world is being swallowed by the color orange
I must be dreaming this dusk-like state of atmosphere
people pass me by in blue luxury sedans
hot colors reflecting off cool windows
and molten pavement
-I continue to act casual-
plastic bubble brain belonging to some sick cartoon character
lost in the confusion of a brand new day
I am saved only by the sould of wind through the trees
making me realize
this is my reality.
----------------------
When everything in the world changes
when life becomes inconstant
and impossible to trust
you are still beautiful
and it seems like the wonder of you
lights up my entire life
if only for a moment
and in a moment
I can see my future
and everything is going to be ok.
---------------------------
I push my face and hands against the cement on the driveway
just to feel the heat of it
there's nobody around
maybe I'm dreaming
trying to remember the things I used to do when I was small
but all those things are gone
I can do nothing more that picture them
and in a moment, they are gone again.
----------------------------
angel-devil boy with innocent eyes
look at me that way I'll believe truth or lies
dime a dozen sweet talk
poisoning my mind
making me believe that without you I would die.
----------------------------
confusion strikes
catches me off guard
leaving an open wound
immediately infected with salt and pain
my blood only stains
but never lasts
so here I am, naked and bleeding
and never knowing why
but it's all for nothing
all in vain
sooner than any of you think I'll be dead
and just like everyone who came before me
whatever tiny impression I make won't last
when it's over, it's over.
MORE POETRY YET!!!!
