The Devil

Satan takes my hands

And leads me in a waltz

Pulls in me in and whispers

In my ear all my faults

I am wearing gloves

To cover up my sin

A step one two we twirl around

No contact between skin

The Devil wears glasses and a hat

I can't clearly see his face

But to be fair, mine isn't clear

We both part without a trace

Seasonal

Warmth you give keeps me walking

But when that first snowflake falls you stop talking

Side by side you drop your hand from mine

Delivering your final line

"Lover I love you, but I can't stand the cold

When it comes I have to go

It's not personal it shouldn't sting

I'll try to return in the spring"

I walk alone in snow leaving a set of footprints behind

I remember you, it's so hard to not let my mind rewind

It's so cold, it's so cold, and my lips are turning blue

It would be better, much warmer, if only I had you

I Fertilize

Hugging the ground

I lay still

Let the grass cover me

In return I feed it well

Sink deeper in and I feel warm

Despite my company being the moon

Flowers sprouting from each of my limbs

I'm sure your favorite grows on me too

My Favorite

I like how it makes me feel

It's fake but the adrenaline it gives is real

How terrible these situations, these people can be

The fear, the tears, the chills and thrills

It brings me joy and brings me dread

Color Bars

When the aliens invaded, I knew I was needed. People mocked me for this power and said I was useless. But I'll show them.

Their leader was staying in the Whitehouse in North America. I took a business flight to D.C. and requested a conference with the Leader.

"You really think you can stop us?" The Leader laughed. "Once we destroy Earth, space will finally be saved. We might even be able to relocate all organisms of Earth to safer planets-"

"Silence fiend!" I shouted and removed my oversized jacket. "I- T.V. Man, will stop you!"

I grabbed the remote and turned on the television attached to my stomach.

"What are you- what is that?" They pointed to the screen.

I smirked as they noticed my secret weapon. "This is reality T.V.."

The Leader and their bodyguards watched for two hours. I turned it off and waited for them to respond.

"Maybe," The Leader murmured, "This planet will destroy itself. Perhaps we should let it be."

That, my friends, is how I saved the planet.

McDonald’s (ba da ba ba ba)

I accidentally ate a hamburger yesterday

The person at the register grinned with malice

When I took my bag and walked into the autumn weather

Holding the bag made me feel callous

At a rapid pace, I opened the bag

I was greeted with a peculiar sight

A burger, an amulet, and a poem note from a doctor

Curious, for all I ordered was a Sprite

I bit into the burger, it was dingy

Because it had been a sacrificial lamb

Not beef, but straight from the flock

I looked at the note, it was not legal but was a sham

I clicked the amulet around my neck

Then laid down on the comfortable grass

I remembered I forgot to measure the tiny blades

And then they hurt like glass

I didn't want to be in its radius

So an ambulance was called

I didn't want to involve them

Still the McDonald's haven was appalled

Elementally

It's too hot in here

Smoke filling up my lungs

Flames licking the skin

Into the water

I can't breathe because liquid

Muffles the yell

In and out of us

It keeps me alive today

It keeps me going now

Starts as soil and dirt

Returns to its creator then

It ended as it started

The Begining

Just because it started

Again we're back at the beginning

Nothing changed, despite that

Unless you force something to happen

Again the year will

Repeat as your own error but

You can make it new
