Hope y'all don't mind a barrage of poems...




Pooled


All it is these days is thunder or fireworks
And the rain falling down
Standing yet
In pools
Which stain our shoes
And reflect who we really are

Sometimes I feel like falling
Into a puddle there
In the road
So I could have a chance
To look up
And see
Me

Hurrying
Through the years that remain
And the rain
Falling
Down around me





Mistake


I wish, when I sleep
I could draw and sing
And smile more often
And be a little better at creating
Than receiving

But it can be deceiving
These dreams
Trick us to believing
We're worthless awake

Could I make the earth shake,
If I could jump high enough?
I think, asleep
Maybe if I showed some more teeth
She'd take notice

Awake, I think
I need to try harder
Staying awake




Seenery

It only seems to reinforce my lonliness
Now, being here
Surrounded
By those once found to be so full
Of life, community, spirit
And instead
Just full of it

It might not be so bad after all
If I can make it back there
But then, wouldn't this all be a waste,
Finding I don't have the taste
For what I thought was love for so long?

A change of scenery does not entail a change of scene
Just a change of seen





College Ruled


College ruled
Not sure who would say that
Although I filled my notebooks
A little freedom is always nice

Even the old paper with the dashes
While reinforcing good habits
Reveled in simplicity
And learning

But not this -
Rather the maximazation of space
Efficency

It's the little things
-that cramp my handwriting
-and creativity
Drive me crazy

(maybe I got too old)
Teamwork. Rawk. Pwnage. Infinite Possibilities. YIELD. Hells yeah.

    if they give you ruled paper, write the other way. :)
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    nice ;/
    lay down all thoughts; surrender to the void
    ~it is shining it is shining~
