Night
paper boats Apr 2014
Late night,
Next day,
Half - eaten chocolate bar,
Laptop screen, bright.
Eyes, red,
Headache.

Insomnia.

Dark sky,
Light stars.
Traffic light,
Empty street, trash.
Dog, dust, sweat.
Stomach.....empty.

 *Hunger
Why are you awake?

You
paper boats Mar 2014
You
They devour,
They plead.
They crawl,
They bleed.

They do not stop,
They do not care.
They do not live,
They do not dare.

They can not question,
They can not know.
They can not do,
They can not go.

They may pry,
They may want.
They may fail,
They may taunt.

They will come,
They will die.
They will not care,
*I will try.
"Be the change you wish to see in the world"

Sometimes
paper boats Mar 2014
Sometimes I reminisce,
With my shadow.
Sometimes I let loose,
my memories of you.

Other times,
I live.
The way you did.
The way we should.

I look,
At the sea.
And it shows me,
your smile.

I listen,
To the wind.
And it whispers,
your name.

At night,
I keep my window open.
So that I can hear you,
So that I can feel you.

I don't think of you.
I never think of you.

But sometimes...........

Sometimes, I reminisce.
