Too Much

I’m splitting at the seams.
I’m drowning in reams and reams
Of papers that are due,
I’m breaking because of you too.

Everything is becoming too much
You tell me to quiet, to hush,
But I can’t because there’s too much to do,
I’m sorry, I cannot listen to you.

Someone Who

Have you ever met
Someone who took your breath away
Before they even spoke.
Someone who you KNEW
Was an amazing person.
You just knew it.
You could see the sparkle
In their eyes,
So gentle and kind...

Oh, how I wish
To meet someone like this!

Call Me

Call me cold
Call me selfish
Call me mean
Call me a liar
But I’m bold
I am cherished
I am keen
No one dares
To deny her.

Escape

I long to escape
To another city
Another life
Another me.

Great Reckoning

Grasping at darkness,
Shadows flick by,
I can feel a Great Reckoning
Is drawing nigh.

Wake up your wife,
And your little kids too,
For a Great Reckoning
Is coming for you.

You’ll hear it ring,
So faint in the night,
But you’ll know when it’s there
So bold and bright.

An insane epiphany
I still remember
It came for me
Between June and December.

I just thought of it, and I liked the rhyme, but do I have any idea what it means? Heck no.

Where the Moonbeams Grow

Meet me where
The moonbeams grow
And the sun likes to stop and chat.

Meet me where
The smiles prance
Through lush fields of poppies and grass.

If you never come to see me
If you never come to see,
I’ll meet you wherever you are
Wherever, whenever, you are.

For a While

I like making up stories.
They let me be someone else for a while.
I don’t write them down.
They are too day-to-day.
There isn’t a conflict.
I don’t want conflict.
I just want to be peaceful for a while.
