How I awoke
Today I feel like the worst version of myself
Mood swings dance about, singing awfully
as if I were at a bar with a karaoke
Shifting tones and mixing lyrics
My universe resides under a new image
Bitter like coffee and cold like winter
were not on my to-do list or so I pictured
This is what my emotions have in store
Go with it or ignore it, but do not punish me for it
Full-mental control is not at my disposal
as it is being tampered with like experimented soil
Time
Time has fallen on a poor wounded bird
Hopeless but chipper
Ready to let go
It smiled and laughed
Until the emptiness of its hourglass
The poor wounded bird
Fought the hardest it could
When the fight in him left
He was prepared to face death
Ready to embrace the journey that awaits
It flew alongside the wind
Leaving puddles of tears
Broken hearts behind
It’s faded smile and half closed eyes
Silently whispers it’s last good-bye
Deep Wonders
As thoughts are undiscovered
Sentimentality knocks it’s door
And takes them for a wary spin
Only for a few moments but I soak it all in
I lay on neutral colored sheets and place covers upon my face
Questioning unmindful emotions
That lurk the mist of an unclear view
Wondering who welcomed their presence
Leaving me with the blues
Have I lost myself in mind? Am I a public disguise? Or even muddled by thoughts?
As I ponder in silence
My clarity on reality has vanished from plain sight
Admiring the beach
Toes between smooth rock-less sand
An ecstatic like feel tickles the skin
Eyes shut tightly, tuning into ocean’s melody
Sweet lullabies they sing
A peaceful rhythm it plays
Soft gentle breaths
I listen for the velocity of moving waves
Embracing timeless moments
Guarded by the coastline of the sea
Admiring it’s never ending sky and crystal clear blue water
Capturing it’s image until memories come to pass
My eyes they melt in such delight
I refuse to move as I ignore the seconds that are left
How could one ever abandon such a view
Dreams
Muddled in thoughts
Unsure of moments that drift
Dreaming of places beyond one's reach
Please release me into the sweet glaring stars
Oh dreams, they pass me
I watch as they flutter about
whispering stories unto my ears
Soaring effortlessly into the gloomy sky
In hopes my mind would shift gears
But years, they drown me
As I drench in self-pity
Fantasizing is all that is left
I am the grey cement that hides in silence
beneath the solid cracked concrete
