A pebble in a sea of glass

shattered mind raindrops

fragile as broken cobwebs

sun strong and shadow deep

infinite and fleeting

planet sized in the palm of your hand

belief is everything

and nothing at all
No it is not an AI Poem
So
I didn't get a ticket
frick it,
the only oasis
I'll be likely to see
will be in the Gobi.
I would like to write a poem
That would make her dance
I would like to kiss her kindly
In the fields of France

I would like to talk for hours
Under a strawberry moon
Still strange but nice
Crazy as a loon

there's a world inside your mind
and it wants you to find
a place for others,
without changing
the bookshelves
the music
or the way that you walk through the door.
It might be the means of replacing
the fear which stops you from living
and giving
and laughing
as yourself.
don't be afraid to open up

What made
us so beautiful
Is that we
were never
likely to happen,
And here we are;
Pretending
to be oblivious
To the obvious
love waves
Bouncing back
and forth
Between
our hearts
This thing
Is a never
ending start...
Where the moments
we are meant to share,
Are carelessly
forced apart.
Today’s world might seem bleak and grim
Without much color, decor, or trim
Yet there are things that still fill my heart to the brim
That nature provides seemingly on a whim
Like the birds, the trees, the fields of grass
And the mountains, sky, and their sheer mass
When the moments arrive and the moments pass
Stop for a second, because life goes fast
Smell the roses, count to 10
Then continue on, back again
Take a breath and take a bow
And live in the moment because the time is now
poetry it started many years ago
with a pen and paper and words with a flow
righting from the heart there feelings they would show
many different poets that we got to know

wordsworth keats and burns  blake and bronte to
there are many more these are just a few
burns he loved  wee beaties wordsworth daffodil
  where he wrote his poem sitting on a hill

poetry still  goes on theres millions write today
carring on the greats no so far away
they put the wheels in motion there legacy goes on
thanks to all the greats that are dead and gone
Once you've cracked the code
the road ahead opens up.

The ghost train is a memory of all that pain
which in the end only served to make you stronger,

and here we are
still
sat in the car
trying to crack that code.

If the Genie had said to me
three wishes are yours
they could have
opened doors for me
one could have set my mind free,
but
that would have been too easy.

The road is there
only sometimes
we don't have enough light,
to see it.

Would the glass still have shattered had you not used it for wine?

Would the blanket still have caught fire had you not lit a cigarette?

Would your rent still be late had you not went to the casino?

Would I still have this pit in my stomach had you never said hello?
Some things are best left alone
She reaches behind her
and spreads everything,
her head presses into the comforter.
Duvet? Comforter? It's argyle,
whatever you wanna call it.
Green and light teal, the colors
of the blanket and pillows
match the curtains
hanging in the unfocused
background.
I turn the volume down
as she moans through
the initial insertion.
That's my favorite part.
The rhythmic slapping
of flesh coming together
begins like the beat of
some primal, animalistic drum.
I notice the furnishings are
seldom, a single dresser
with a large mirror
is the only thing I can see.
It has a light finish on it.
Interesting.
I would've gone with a dark walnut,
or maybe a mahogany.
Is dark wood furniture out of style?
I look around my room,
at the dark stained wood desk
that my computer sits on.
My **** isn't even hard anymore.
*** slowly dribbles out as I finish,
mostly unsatisfied.
Unsatisfied with my paltry velocity,
and further unsatisfied with my
terrible sense of interior decoration.
Oh well, I'll go again in an hour.
Maybe I'll get some ideas
for my kitchen.
