michmeesh - Hello Poetry

Forget me not— You've become the cotton in my ears, the smoke in my lungs, the tepid water that I'm drowning in Forget me not— You can't make a difference in someone's life, then leave without at least saying goodbye I just need a goodbye Forget me not— Sleepless nights and forgotten meals are my new lovers as of late, but I suppose we're quite familiar with each other already Forget me not— Why can't I make nothing of it? I was nothing for you We were nothing Forget me not— Forget me

I was nothing for you We were nothing Forget me not— Forget me

Farewell to my inhibitions Drunk on impulse and corona A simple "hello" dripping with golden courage You can't shake me so easily I'm the gum on the sole of your shoe Those ******* baby blues so warm and inviting Melting chocolate sunsets and burning hearts anew

Nonchalance in a Leather Jacket

Farewell to my inhibitions Drunk on impulse and corona A simple "hello" dripping with golden courage You can't shake me so easily I'm the gum on the sole of your shoe Those ******* baby blues so warm and inviting Melting chocolate sunsets and burning hearts anew

It is far too hot even for December I am left feeling hazy and out of breath These twinkling lights used to warm my soul like a desperate gulp of scalding tea  Now I long for glacier blue eyes and a solid body  I can only see a reflection in a ***** window  What once gave me a sense of hope now leaves me feeling empty and full of want  To feel what I did two years ago would be a blessing Even alone I was content with twinkling nights

Dumb poem

It is far too hot even for December I am left feeling hazy and out of breath These twinkling lights used to warm my soul like a desperate gulp of scalding tea  Now I long for glacier blue eyes and a solid body  I can only see a reflection in a ***** window  What once gave me a sense of hope now leaves me feeling empty and full of want  To feel what I did two years ago would be a blessing Even alone I was content with twinkling nights

Sleepy head, you've gone far too long without a wink of sleep How you've managed to stay alive for this long, it's a secret I can't keep Sleepy head, pay no mind to those silly dreams Or else you'll start to fall apart at the seams Sleepy head, a brave and guilty fool Stop diving into the deep end of the pool Sleepy head, that bottle of Jäger was a mistake Indifference is something you can't fake Sleepy head, lock your heart and swallow the key Secretly crying so hard that you can't see Sleepy head, it's time to sleep and move on Far too friendly with the soft glow of dawn

Sleepy Head

Sleepy head, you've gone far too long without a wink of sleep How you've managed to stay alive for this long, it's a secret I can't keep Sleepy head, pay no mind to those silly dreams Or else you'll start to fall apart at the seams Sleepy head, a brave and guilty fool Stop diving into the deep end of the pool Sleepy head, that bottle of Jäger was a mistake Indifference is something you can't fake Sleepy head, lock your heart and swallow the key Secretly crying so hard that you can't see Sleepy head, it's time to sleep and move on Far too friendly with the soft glow of dawn

Summer tries to kiss me goodbye-- Handing me "bring a sweater; just in case" cold weather Summer tries to leave me without actually saying farewell The trees have yet to strip of their green, fluttering foliage Summer doesn't promise to come back anytime soon Stagnant, hazy heat becomes a long lost memory Summer has disappeared for a day, leaving no trace Autumn has lost its appeal without you here

I dream of permutations and of potted cacti sitting on crystal shelves. I listen for melancholy silence and I pray that hope and peace of mind tiptoe gently around splintered frustrations. I want to see the hot sun beat down on prickly green skin until it feels whole again and flowers bloom from its head.

Not sure what to make of it I felt comfortable-- Knowing that the fire extinguisher was there It made me feel safe If anything ever caught fire I could put it out I was a selfish child--full of arrogance and naivety The world mistook my insecurity and inexperience for apathy All I wanted was a place to call my own, Something to hold on to I did not worry about the still-lit cigarette Not even when it bounced from the sidewalk to the grass The red hot embers glowed among the dying grass I did not worry when the fire began I took my sweet time in getting the extinguisher By the time I came back my world was engulfed in flames Scrambling, I tried to smother the heat The extinguisher let out a pathetic puff of dust And I stood as hell fire consumed my home Acrid smoke muffled my screams and floating ashed blinded me All that was left was a charred fire extinguisher and the frames of my glasses

I avoid the hours between 11 pm and 5 am Light does not exist then— Only useless questions, dangerous thoughts, and the Void Darkness swallows reason and spits out impulse All of these mix together and try to drown me Melancholy fills my mouth and I gag on its rotten taste Cold seeps through my skin and settles in my bones I am floating through midnight and I have never felt so alone The constellations no longer console me Galaxies hurtle away from me And black holes call my name
