rain

rain falls splashes down from leaves dripping, soaking, wet i stand below; i am alive

eyes turn skywards as the clouds break one last drop upon my cheek. now the sun smiles down

Poem 7: I Was Doomed

I was doomed to die on the day I was born

When people smiled at me, my fragile form

Those smiles I don’t understand why they are

As if blinded to daunting, looming scars.

I was doomed to hurt on the day I loved

Even though we swore oaths upon heavens above

One would be taken to leave another behind

Doomed years spent alone in time.

The end is a curse doomed on all beginnings

But few understand the life worth living

For there is more than just the entrance and exits

What matters most are the notes of the music.

Poem #7

I remember when I could colour with no care

Create green elephants and yellow skies

Draw blue trees and purple tigers

Just because I wanted to

I remember when there was no pressure for me to do anything

If I didn’t want to, I didn’t

When I couldn’t do something, I was given help

I was asked if I needed it

I remember when I felt free

When I could stand in the wind and feel like I was flying

When I would believe I was invincible with my stick sword at my waist

I remember being young

April 2023 Poem a Day Challenge #7 

Wrote for a friend! I think I’m getting closer to feeling good about the writing! I spent some more time, actually doing a lot of rearranging this one. I think it could be more cohesive, but part of this challenge practice is to move on quickly, so, onto the next!

To Critiques, Non-Believers, Politicians, Journalists, and all other Sanctimonious Assholes

the hardest thing to say sometimes is

I Love You

in spite of every internal impulse to despise every inclination to throw white hot coals at your head, neck, and chest

I Love You

Wish I could convince you to stop what you are doing and make better decisions but I suppose you would tell me the same thing

We will do better. We will love better. Not because I need you or support your treachery

but…

Nothing but smiles, Let’s have some fun, Spread joy all over, The day has begun! Here’s a balloon to fill you with glee, This boy is as happy as he can be! A sticker to cheer you up, A little show from the pup, Songs play just for you, Take a candy or two, The sunlight shines in, Oh ew, Keep it dim, I’m kidding, That’s fine, The choice is not mine, The play time is over, Goodbye, Goodbye, The boy moves along, Smile still on his face, As he moves on through the halls, With a quickened pace, Hurry now, Go fast, Smile, Joy, Laughter, Gee, Keep up the energy, Won’t you? For me? Lips curled through the tears, Block all those fears, The blood is just cherry, The needles are fake, The pile of intestines are surely just cake, Now now, My dear, No sadness in here, You have to show the people how bright, The world is around us, Show us the light.

town park

the blocks crouch around

peering over the tops of the trees

trying to get a glimpse

of the mirror of water

barely rippling in the breeze

a small oasis

breathing

quietly

shielded

from the roads
