HalfBakedMusings

A blog for my random thought process and awakening to poetry. Amateur thoughts for a crazy world and for the love of life.

I most like to see myself

In the reflection of your eyes

Surrounded by bright flickerings of streetlights and storefronts

It’s hard to distinguish myself from the summertime

To see what the night ahead of us holds

Yet in the vastness of uncertainty I feel the most at ease

Cradled in the grasp of your gaze

[halfbakedmusings]

The window is closed but my thoughts still catch the brisk morning breeze

Only five minutes awake and your name has already tiptoed across my subconscious

Awaking like this will give me crows feet I’m sure

But I welcome the wrinkles as easily as I slip into your warm engulfing embrace

All I want

Is to know simplicity

Find beauty in the smallest things

To show love as easily as I feel it

But it seems I’m addicted

To adventure

To complexity

To the world for what it is and can be

The pale blue dot Significant because we say so Like opinion and fact Belief makes all the difference

Going The Distance

Distance is spider silk Strong yet fatally flawed Easy to destroy with a steady stroke I’m thankful I have no intent the sever the line Our separation is as temporary as we view it I imagine the time approaches When I can wriggle once again into your arms

[halfbakedmusings]

Ignorance for the sake of a moment free of obligation But the worry lingers in the shadows Encroaching upon the happiest of moments like a reaper Uncertainty rules the minds of the skeptical Constantly threatening progress Wandering minds are dangerous Only truth sets them to rest

[halfbakedmusings]

You leave me craving more

Most times I miss the thought of you Other times it’s the smell But most days it’s the warmth Of my hand in yours as well

[halfbakedmusings]

There’s something secure about downpour

Everything out in the open

Nothing to hide

Millions of drops of nothing

To shield us from the sounds of yesterday

My Gravity

I find I’m grounded to you with every tiny moment Every thought I have of a reply Every half-thought uttered response Every chase through the halls and winding paths of my mind I find myself constantly pulled toward you You keep my back straight Catch me when I fall down And when I lie down in bed at night I take comfort in the fact we’re here for each other Parallel to one and other Our existence at least slightly defined by the other And made better

Combustion

Sometimes I feel like a stick of dynamite So much desire to explode Only inhibited by a spark The only difference between me and the explosive Is that I'm equipped I have the will to find a match To pin anger in and on any facet of my existence that I can Yet still I'm similarly halted A component of instigation is still missing from my release And the blessing and curse that stops me Is a fact of uncertainty I don't and can't know If I deserve the beautiful mess That is combustion

A Necessary Distinction

Biting the heads off Swedish Fish Singing in the car Walking in the rain Driving near and far Holding hands at the movies Trying something new Six things that I enjoy All enhanced in particular by you

Going The Distance

Distance is spider silk Strong yet fatally flawed Easy to destroy with a steady stroke I'm thankful I have no intent the sever the line Our separation is as temporary as we view it I imagine the time approaches When I can wriggle once again into your arms

Ignorance for the sake of a moment free of obligation But the worry lingers in the shadows Encroaching upon the happiest of moments like a reaper Uncertainty rules the minds of the skeptical Constantly threatening progress Wandering minds are dangerous Only truth sets them to rest

The aroma Of your sweater Enough to make The longest days better

[halfbakedmusings]

I'm Scared To fuck it up I've done it before I want this euphoria to last But sometimes I can't Help but to give in To the pulsing The rush Of risking it all To feel you Your love Just once And hopefully For all

An Ode to A Friend

Every noun, verb, adjective They all aren't adequate enough to describe you They are meaningless in depicting the vast complexity and awe that you are comprised of The combination of unique interests and loveliness that flows through your veins I know you care but you need to reflect love back on yourself And even these words aren't good enough Believe me please You matter

A Poet's Poetry

One mark to make a line Morphed to 26 arbitrary designs Assigned in a randomly specific order Linked into strands of nothingness that become everything Forming suddenly intelligible banter That we have the audacity to deem as art
