Me

Reflections in the darkness
Fragments of a reality that was never meant to be
Leaves in the breeze you never get to see
Cause that darkness enfold me
A crossing of lights drowned out by the darkness
A mishmash
A hogpog
A canvas of thrown together paint
A song, a dance, a po....

You

All the light for me to shine through
That piece of a puzzle that bring everything together
The candle that fills my nights with love and light
You, the perfect imagine
Put together
Done up
All those songs you’ve song, dances you’ve  done, and poems you got to finish the lines of

Me

There isn’t enough time to...

Best Friends Sister
Emmett Mar 2020
Best friends sister,

She said you should,
And that's how it began.
She shared I would,
And that's how I got mad.
That night I took a break,
And decided to forgive
My best friends sister who made this all begin.
I rampaged and I roared,
I wrote and destroyed.
Then, when it was over,
I decided to forgive.

I hope that she believes me,
When I said to her,
That I have forgiven,
plus another third.
I say, an action, does not define you,
you are still the same
Oh, best friends sister you are still, as you came.

I hope within this process of forgiveness,
You have forgiven yourself,
And not go on blaming for an unselfish self.

I wish as well that you,
Will take my apology for my quick words and harsh phrases.

So, I hope this shows as proof,
That you have been forgiven for the mistake you made,
And the first roll you played,
In our kindling flame.

Asking:

I sit within the air,
As I decide what to say,
To my girlfriend to be
And how to voice my apology.

There goes my note,
It is afloat,
We shall see what her answer will be.

We arrive at our rental house,
She asks to meet in the place where we last parted.

Cards:

As we sit my traveling companion,
Silence, decides to join us.
I think the room may be heating up from our feeble attempts to talk.
Finally she banishes him with a single phrase,
"Would you like to play cards?"
I am thankful for her bravery to start,
Even if it is a game of solitaire.

Girlfriend:

She says we should begin to talk,
My mind goes blank.
And my world is changed in one moment,
In one word,
In one girl.
She wonders if we should make it public,
It takes me a moment to remember all that has happened,
And all that has begun.
I think of nothing...

Appreciation:

She says that she is sorry
For not showing appreciation for all that I  have done for her.
I am astonished,
She has done more for me than I could ever dream of doing it for her.
She asked to begin,
She asked to walk,
She asked to dance,
She wrote letters and postcards. But most of all,
She is herself,
She is _.

Beauty:

It is time to leave,
She leaves for camping in two days.
I feel forlorn as she drives away,
Her exquisite,
Beautiful,
Amazing face disappearing from view.
The face that I can never seem to recall, no matter how many times I see it.
She turns the corner and is gone.
I think that I will see her tomorrow And the day after before she disappears...

Sinking in:

Three days have passed since her monumental words,
And still every day I remember
And rediscover that she is my girlfriend.

Goodnight my love
Goodnight my life
But I don’t want to say goodbye

Sleep well my love
Sleep well my life
I guess it’s really time
To say bye bye
Love you all! I hope you have someone to be their love. If not, and even if so, I love you!

grit
Emmett Sep 2020
I have the drive to strive to be alive to have the right to live a life worth living.
One of glory one of peace of a nice warm fleece
A sock laid down by the fire

I have the drive to thrive and dive into the hive of my mind.
A place where life resides and death awaits
behind the line, beneath the fence, beyond the gates

I have the drive to be alive to push myself and to survive.
A challenge once excepted can never be neglected
I accept you as you are now please let that be reflected

I have the drive to contrive a kinder life that I'll revive
one of peace and of love. Without deceit of

Goodbye

Only in my mind
Emmett Mar 2020
come on tomorrow
peak through my window
don't leave me to die

come on tomorrow
magic land of my mind
loosen the noose surrounding my mind

I don't ask for much
tomorrow
just tuck me into bed tonight
enfold me in your arms
tomorrow
then maybe all my tears will run dry

tomorrow broke my heart
I was never enough for you
for you never knocked on my door

it seems like you come to me
every sunrise and morning
but it’s only today

but I don’t ask for much
tomorrow
please tuck me into bed tonight
enfold me in your arms
tomorrow
maybe then all my tears will run dry

come on tomorrow
come on tomorrow

today is today
I’m on the bathroom floor
if you could see me maybe you would die too

why’d you leave me tomorrow?

at least your in my mind
Emmett Mar 2020
Starlight star bright
All my loves sleep well tonight
I wish I may I wish you might
Sleep in beds of love and light
Sleep well

Hand prayer knot:
Our hands touch as she teaches me to make a prayer knot.
I feel a spark.
Her face is beautiful and alive.

Pulchritude:
We go it to the dance.
She has pulchritude,
Even though I don't have the nerve to tell her.

Pictures:
Our pictures are taken.
My hand trembles as I tie her corsage.
She looks beautiful.

Silence:
The silence returns as we enter the dance floor. It has an awkward tinge.
I wish I could hold her hand or something to lighten the atmosphere.
When I look at her I forget everything.
The tension eases as we begin to talk.

Quiet outside:
It is quiet outside.
It is peaceful as the rain drops come down on our heads.
The urge to hold her hand appears again.
I look down at the water speckled boards.

Jumping:
The night begins to blur.
The jumping, the spinning, the dancing, the laughing, the talking.
It is all on one moment frozen in time. So small as to be nonexistent, yet so large as to be our life.

Final song:
The final song has begun, Home.
I wish to dance with her yet the fear is too great.
And yet with an unfathomable will she crosses the bridge between us and asks to dance.

What is this unknown emotion?
What is this unknown emotion?
Is it fear? No, it is to joyful.
Is it joy? No, I feel too anxious.
Is it anxiety? No, I feel to calm.
I have no words to describe what I feel.
Love? No, love is too strong of a word.
Like? No, like his too week.

Even without words it is so strong and unbound, yet un-actionable.
She asks what is to come. I look into her eyes and can think of nothing to say.

Tomorrow:
I wake up the next morning with one thought in my head, the intriguing girl.
The one so beautiful as to cause me to forget, yet so smart.
So strong-willed as to ask me to dance, yet so shy.

May we meet again and again,
oh mysterious girl, oh wondrous girl, oh beauty girl.

Don’t think

Late at night and I can’t think
All these feelings doing the thinking for me

I reach for the sky
It rushes down to meet me

Suffocated between ground and air
If only I could lift like Atlas

Except I can’t
So it all comes crashing down

One thought rushes to another to another to another to another to another to another

Thoughts to emotions, emotions controlling thoughts. Thoughts to emotions, emotions controlling thoughts.

Hellos and Goodbyes
Emmett Mar 2020
I have always been the one asking for more time

it was always the other person saying goodbye.

You were different. Now as a friend you are the same… I’m sad.


I say "Howdy Doodie Doo. How are you?"

You say "goodbye. I've got to fly"

Good morning love
Wake up heart
It’s time to give this day a fine start

Good morning sun
Wake up lungs
It’s time to sing some more songs unsung

Good morning
Wake up
It’s time to know that I love you

From: me
To: me and everyone else who needs or want a little more loving too

Emmett,

Are you ok? Are you decent? Are you adequate? Are you enough? Are you sad? Are you crying? Are you happy? Are you loved? Do you love? Are you warm? Are you cold? Are you tired?

It’s ok. You’re ok. You’re enough. You’re wanted. You’re adequate. You are happy. You’re loved. You loved once. You’re warm. A little. That’s ok. We love you. I love you.

Feelings You Say... Hmmm
Emmett Mar 2020
What does it mean to feel?

A punch to the jaw
An unrung call
A leap from a building way too tall

Crashing and falling
Aching and sawing
Naked poring eyes all done with the aching and balling

leaping, flying, falling
dying, crying, crawling
84 · Mar 2020
And Yet
Emmett Mar 2020
An audience applause
Loved for all your flaws
And puppies little paws

A good workout
look and breath out
A new PR with all that clout

A competition won
A moment alone with the sun

Laughing crying on the floor
A deep conversation where you're never ignored

This is life
both bad and good
goodnight my love

Hidden
Emmett Mar 2020
They come to me all black and blue
From a life of misery and strife
But they have no wish to tell what they’ve been through
No want for me to see their life

They secret and flee and hide and shuck
They live and they cower and close their eyes
But they never reveal all the mud and the muck
The flys they circle and buzz their mind but they want to swat their own thought fly’s
82 · Mar 2020

Being Happy
Emmett Mar 2020
I think that to be in a state of being that is happy is different then to feel happy.

Those moments of embodying happy are found in gratitude and appreciation.
They are found in the joy of a night by the fire.
In the understanding that there is so much more...
and you will never know it all...
and yet it’s ok.

Being happy comes with truly knowing that one is not okay. And that’s okay. Okay?
That it is ok to not be the best the brightest and the funniest.
It is ok to not get that role, to perfect that dance, or be the best singer.
It is okay to not be ok.

Being happy comes with knowing that love doesn’t need you to be extraordinary and that those that love you know all of you and that they love you all the more for it...
77 · Mar 2020
Love unspeakable unspoken
Emmett Mar 2020
There’s nothing I could ever say or do
To make you realize how much I love you

Words speak louder then laughs
Laughs speak louder then smiles
Yet that that speaks loudest of all makes not a sound

I?
Emmett Mar 2020
I?
Don't push me down
Don't bottle me up
If you do then you'll just get more clogged up

Don't let me sing you to sleep at night
Don't meet me in the rain
All that will lead to is more unending pain

Don't push me away during the day
Only to hold me close at night
That will lead to an ever perpetuating fight

It's ok to let me touch your face
You can let me soothe the burns of bitter ache
I'll be there when no one else will while they take and take and take

I'm no fiend to guard against
Nor darkish dankish cavern to avoid
No no no if you ever ask me to hold you, why I'll be there, overjoyed
Emmett Mar 2020
What’s the hardest thing
you will ever do?

Be ok
with who you are

But I need you here because I’m a mess

Too Many’s
Emmett Mar 2020
I would tell you everything
and nothing:
the only thing I would wish to tell you, that I haven’t, is simply how much I care.
unfortunately I can’t tell you that.
at least not without too many pages of writing
too many minutes of song
too many lines of poetry
too many moments of life
too many lives to live
too many too many’s
therefore what you perceive as the care that I give and the feelings I have are only ever the over flows of lives lived, moments had, poems said, minutes with you , songs sung, pages read, and manys spent together
