An old man's advice
Seth Hollis Nov 2021
Got to do something with your life
or you'll have no life to live at all
Spent my time ******* about whatever came around
But no matter what you do, there will be something
something worth ******* about
So better do something good and enjoy it
or you'll realize when you're dead and gone
and they're singing your song
well...
******* is all they will have to sing about.

Spring cleaning
Seth Hollis Mar 2021
Clear this clutter
every aspect
living and breathing
every affect
of the actions I make
so far past perfect
can I even go back?
So much to disinfect
present and past
time flying fast
have I lost track?
too much to unpack
and now I'm sitting here
to think alone
in the pitch black
and like a vow
tomorrow comes
for it all to restack.

Every step
Seth Hollis Mar 2021
There he is
with every step
where are you?

death is his desire
with every step
nothing new

tears to shed
with every step
what a view

wish this fog
wish I could see through
wish your thoughts
I wish I knew
wish in this darkness
that I could see you.

Begging
Seth Hollis Mar 2021
Take a breath and smile
could it be worse?
Please pass the time
all I want is more time

The weight just builds up and piles on
could I be cursed?
these choices aren't mine
this life really isn't mine

Walking down this road with company but I feel so alone
to fall is to die and I just keep tripping on
you always tell me just how much I've grown
but please, tell me how much further I have to go

Independent
Seth Hollis Aug 2020
I see that weight on your chest
the pain in your heart
emotions compressed
everyday falling further apart
the darkness on your soul
and your battles on a planet,
being drawn into a black hole

I see your helpless anger
and the cycling depression
your home is a chamber
and you've no answers
only questions.

I've been there.

Your little obsessions,
are the roots of your oppression
your endless aggression,
can be washed with a confession
all your possessions,
are nothing but a blessing

don't listen to deception
don't be afraid of connection
it is worth changing direction
it is worth the affection
this is not a lesson
just a suggestion
life is precious
and you are special
love others and what you've got
and you will see a reflection.

Lydia
Seth Hollis Aug 2020
Sweet, singing, warm ocean breeze
Thoughts of you ringing has me at ease
Good morning, joyful mountain dew
Seeing you sure is a capturing view
Popcorn and movies, up late at night
A bite of your presence just tastes so right
The savory scent of freshly fallen rain
You give me peace, time and time again

Every moment is such a delight
For when you are in my sight
I feel so very buttery inside
So I sit here and write
Strapping into this roller coaster ride
Lucky that you are
Right at my side
Excited and bright
For the time to come
Patiently waiting
Each rising sun
The world is rotating
For us to become one
This love is exhilarating
And we've only just begun

I would hesitate not
To present you a ring
As there is not a doubt I've got
That you are my queen
And yet here I patiently wait
why?
Cause there's still many ideas
That I've got for a date.

In your glow
Seth Hollis Aug 2020
Though I step so blindly
Who better to guide me
No longer is life frightening
No longer will I spite thee
My words I will carefully sow
I'll trudge through the battles I'll know
I'll know and live
In the love that you give
For you are my friend
Forever and wherever I go.
My commemoration

Hey now
Seth Hollis Aug 2020
I see you
I've been doing my circles
Playing games, round after round
But hey now
I will hop my hurdles
Heart tied, wrapped and wound
I have a view
Dreaming dreams I've never dreamt of
Whatever have you done to me
I can vow
This is a different love
And life and eternity could be
With you
going through changes!

Lost
Seth Hollis Aug 2020
I was appointed and unacquainted
Wandering, lost, empty soul
World painted, no control
Woke from a bad dream
I saw the light
Was redeemed, energy erudite
I've been saved
Life is now bright
Do not mistake
For he is my headlight.

— The End —
