“A slight unhinged thought”

I want exciting moments filled with Adventure and a splash of danger

the kind that gives you butterflies making your Insides curl

Most days I am complete in the decisions that I’ve made

But others, I am emptier than the dark lonesome sky

“My everlasting”

The night was young and so were we

We explored until our feet felt heavy

We laughed until our cheeks grew weary

We talked until daylight became darkness and the sun lost itself in the moon

We have created wonderful memories

Now I imagine the moment where I say “I do”

A Question!

If you had any superpower in the world, what would it be? Mine would be teleportation ✨

What about yours?

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

They

Meaningful moments found deserted

Forbidden eyes blinded by sight

Sweet memories left for ruins

Sanity balances on dear life

Peace suffocates in a coffin

Cares and worries do not exist

Scattered fragments left in smudges

Exploited and held by one-sided views

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

Many

So many apologies

One-too-many mistakes

Countless lies hiding on your face

Vast number of absences

Careless acts

Unseen memories left unhatched

Numerous things you could never change

Unwritten words left to say

Handful of tears

To many years
