Dogs run loose
while the fall leaves burn.
A man stares from
open window.Timeless time passes.
Stick and ball games.
Progress buries yesterday.The old mind gathers
itself for a final time.
Rejoin where it left off
w/ enough energy to feel
every beat and drum.
Transport into the
field of autumn color.
Float overhead to face
oncoming beast.
Age that shaves away
lash of the clock's tick.
Never ending
Repeat infinitely
Yet every number equals four
Numbers
I'll do it.
I'll say them.
I'll say the things people want to hear.
I won't let you down.
I won't burden you.
I won't stray from society's templates.
I'm sure you know that there is a difference
Between dandelions and daffodils
While both are pretty yellow flowers,
One is true
The other isn't
Dandelions are weeds
That you must pull at the root
But you'd never know it unless told so
Daffodils
With their bell shaped center
And new beginnings
Are beautiful through truth
I dont know
I think too much
I dont speak in parallel structure
I think in chaotic narrative
I write in fragments
I love too hard
And I dont speak in parallel structure
I don't feel what they feel.
I don't comprehend the feelings.
Why does this make you feel this way?
I don't see the point.
I don't understand the interest.
Maybe I'm the anomaly,
But I will never understand.
Drip, drip, off green leaves
Nourished with sky’s fresh nectar
Pure ambrosia
Somehow,
Just somehow,
Telling my secrets to you,
A stranger,
A complete stranger,
Is gratifying,
Telling my worries to you,
A stranger,
A complete stranger,
Calms them,
Somehow confiding in you,
A stranger,
A complete stranger,
Makes it hurt less
Love?
What is love?
It’s not a thing,
Not a feeling,
It’s not physical,
Not mental,
It’s not permanent,
Not temporary,
Love?
What is love?
When was the last time I was happy,
Really truly happy,
I can’t think of a time,
Is that sad?
Is it bad?
I’m content I guess
But not happy
Never happy
What is happy?
Everyone needs to be heard
At least once.
Everyone needs to say their mind
At least once.
Everyone needs to stop and listen
At least once.
Everyone needs to sit in silence
At least once.
You're heard
All the time.
You say what comes to mind
All the time.
She sits in front of you
All the time.
She always listens
And never says a word.
Time
One and two
Three and six
Five and ten.
Nothing happens,
For nothing changes
And no one bothers to try
Not once since that day.
Am I trapped
Or frozen?
Am I stuck
Or caught by destiny?
Time.
Move along
Or be left behind,
So which am I?
