so...I typed some stuff

[soitypedsomestuff]

Puddle

Your ghost haunts my every thought

I carry this burden on my face

Exhausted, blinded by our star

Dissolve drops into a puddle

[soitypedsomestuff]

Red

There's a devil on my shoulder, and I don't why

But he's holding the controller to this game of life

I am up

I am down

First I smile then I frown

I'm alive

[soitypedsomestuff]

Minds Sea

I wander alone over this silent sidewalk

Adrift in the sea of my thoughts

I make plans to come back from my vacation

But the sails carry me windward

[soitypedsomestuff]

Never Ending

I push the world away from me

I hide deep inside where it's safe

If I left my heart exposed it might crack

I've felt this way before

[soitypedsomestuff]

Durp

We toil like slaves in endless loops

Ouroboros til the chorus

Words that melt together

Purple blue and black stories

My words will have you trippin

Turn your frontal off and listen

The true mark of a leader

Is the power of their vision

Friends turn to enemies

When faces change to hands

You can feel the death of god

When you try to understand

[soitypedsomestuff]

Circus

Finding that state of flow

Theta rides on saddled beasts

Chains drag on the surface of clouds

A young boy peeks through the crowd

This space is filled with color

People spinning like tops

Everyone seems to blend in the eye of an eagle

An abstract piece on a white canvas

Here come the smiling ones

Listen to their laughter

In a moment it is daunting

In another it is joyous

This is the circus foretold

The party in the sunset

As the moon rushes to its home

The crowd fades into night

Listen to the applause from the stars

[soitypedsomestuff]

Up

His heart is the size of the world With the eyes of a lion So proud, So free He walks forward past

[soitypedsomestuff]

Marilyn

Swallow your medicine, Marilyn

Swallow every last one down

Swallow your medicine, Marilyn

Girls like you don’t frown

[soitypedsomestuff]

Chorus I came up with at work

Just keep moving forward

Don’t smile, Don’t frown

Just keep your head down

You’ll be fine

[soitypedsomestuff]

Gone

Gone. Like the flicker of a flame. Gone. Like the end of a game. Gone. Like the calm after the storm. Raindrops on a tin roof. Sunshine on a hilltop Gone.

My Poetry Thought Process

My poem writing thought process is in parentheses. Staring at the shadows Dancing with the wind Sitting on a rain cloud Staring at the sun Staring at the shadows (Platos alegory of the cave) Dancing with the wind (Chaos) Sitting on a rain cloud (Imagery, continued verb theme) Staring at the sun (Popped in my head, full circle)

Whispers In The Night

When you no longer know the darkness When the world forgets you When the world is forgotten When things are solemn Whispers in the night We're all just whispers in the night

[soitypedsomestuff]

Spin

Stuck in the web I spun again Sinking in the concrete I poured Aching from the same ills I've done this to myself A lion stuck on a carousel Swim in the pool in the dark Drink whiskey for the warmth Listen to the devils tattoo Maybe you'll escape the loop One hell of a spin friend Chase tornados onto plains You're the eye of a hurricane Inside this chaos Born into this A taste, A dream, A whisper

[soitypedsomestuff]

Mess

Come down from your mountain See the fires in the valley See the evolving carnage This is your mess It doesn't snow here anymore You just feel the bitter cold Clatter of teeth and chill breezes This is your mess No direction leads you home Everyone claws at the foundation Their pokadot rags rip on the statues This is your mess

[soitypedsomestuff]

Comet

We're all alone out here Out here in the forgotten dunes Only wind and silence A solemn heart aching silence On our own in this place Left to our own devices Who do you love How can you dance Come and drink your wine Leave your judgement Chase this dream The dream that never comes true

[soitypedsomestuff]

Echos

Leave your world Pieces scattered Photographs on fire Starry sky’s and smoke

Silence brings regret Paranoia breeds guilt It’s your fault I’m the reason

Lifting off to another place Gone tomorrow Rest Rest

[soitypedsomestuff]

Reach

Goals. Always just out of reach and taunting. Always finding a way to cross you. Never here. Always far away. Time. Wasted on small insignificant trivia. Wasted on work. Never here. Always slipping. Love. There for you when you truly need it. There is nothing like it. Never rush. Always smile.😊
