Wasted

Today is one of those days

That is going to feel wasted

And I won't know why

I won't know

Where this dark cloud came from

I won't know

What this thorn in my heart is

I won't know

Why the fuck I can't seem to smile

This foreign shade comes in

And actually makes it hard to see

My chest thumps heavily

Snuffing out my breath

They say "just grin and bare it"

But I think I'll just bare it

I know I'll be fine tomorrow

Today clouds and thorns

Have me looking for shelter

But tomorrow there will be sun

I'll be fine tomorrow

But I won't know why

Good Beans

Good beans

Not cool beans, but good ones

This isn't some Andy Sandburg reference

This was a conversation

It was a happy one

A gross one

A conversation that sparked

A unique interest

Broken

Like a Sandcastle meeting the tide

I find myself

Mind, body and soul

Falling apart

My thoughts are cracked

My tongue is split

Bones shattered

Muscles are torn

My chest split open

My heart torn out

Dangling between my legs

And keeping my balls company

Because Lord knows

THEY need it

My lungs

Air tight

My feet

Planted firmly

Battered and bruised

My body is heavy

But so long as

There is wind in me

And Earth beneath me

I will breathe

I will walk

I will rake in

My next breath

And blaze

A new trail

I will run

I will stumble

And I will crawl

Until I can't

I will

A bit empty

It’s almost an ache An unwelcome friend To keep you company When you’re alone

Surrounded by peers Conversing and exchanging But you don’t see them You don’t hear them

Dominating your senses Is the reverberation That pangs endlessly In the cavern of your heart

A simple love shaped hole That once supported Those now crumbling Cavern walls

Life seems so perfect So well put together So fucking beautiful But so incredibly empty

As the waves of the sea Lap against the shore Loneliness returns To soak my soul

6/7/2017 six word poem

I want to hug your neck

[newpoetsvoice]

Can't force happiness

Who would ever think Spreading happiness around Could cause bitterness

Open eyed nightmare

In a life of firsts Last night was big Helplessness is Only the beginning Even in my arms She felt so far Distanced stretched By demons Patiently they linger Waiting for An opportunity An opening Nothing but Lies spew from Gaping maws Ready to consume I witnessed An open eyed Nightmare In this life of firsts "I'm right here" "I'm right here" "I'm right here" "I'm right here" The only thing I could do Is be Be there And then I left
