One who you see
As peaceful and calm
Doesn’t mean that he
Has no demons it
Simply means that his
Demons no longer have
Him there’s a difference
Month: June 2022
Perfect
Someone asked me to
Describe the perfect kiss
A wind chime hung
On the porch’s corner
Playing a soft Autumn
Breeze at the same
Time the curtains dance
And all that follows
TooLate
I’m not exactly sure
Which is harder saying
Goodbye or hearing it
Both leave looming silence
As though you’ve just
Struck a light pole
Where’d that come from
And then days later
The pain sets in
That gnawing deep ache
Light poles and goodbyes
Are similar we get
So used to them
Simply quietly flying by
That until they stop
Us dead to life
We hardly even notice
That they’re even there
Ignorant
Ignorant is equal parts
Ignore and rant ignore
What they don’t understand
And rant about things
They know absolutely nothing
About both of which
Says more about them
Than any of us
Immortality
Don’t waste your life
Pursuing fame for immortality
Resides in the hearts
And minds of those
Who will survive you
Be the talk of
The campfire be the
Story and laughter at
The holiday bring joy
To others now it’ll
Still be there long
After you are gone
