Train of Thought

Physics; Mr. Andros
MSunspoken May 2021
I never really wondered
Why exactly I fall
Or how the lights turn on
At the flip of a switch
No, I never cared much for physics
I would rather read a book
Maybe dabble in biology
But the high school horrors!
They have gravitated to me
Now I sit through physics
Confused
So utterly lost
But I have learned something
Very useful
Did you know that when you
Push a teacher down the stairs
Your grades will soar?
Maybe I will be a physicist when I grow up

Bonzai Tree
Hang me from your palm
Comfort me with your leaves
Blanket me in your bark
And sing me a lullaby, so sweet
Your twigs will sway
So here I can lay
Finally a peace, with your melody
I’ll stay here forever in your embrace
My final goodbye,
Bonzai Tree
MSunspoken Feb 2021
My math teacher leaves the door open
All year round
And I can feel the breeze in my hair
While I write my equations
And I can’t help but smile behind my mask
Because this is the freest I’ve felt
Since I decided I was grown
And didn’t need to enjoy the things
That a child enjoys
Yet here I am, so overzealous
Because the wind sings so beautifully
And I can enjoy it to my heart’s content
Fu** your opinion- I'm gonna enjoy the little things til my heart stops beating, and you can't stop me. I've already left the room,- flown away with the wind's melody.

Mint Leaves
MSunspoken Feb 2021
I love the way mint leaves smell
Midsummer
In the church garden
When I’m with you
Smiling too hard
My cheeks always hurt
After I’m with you
Although
It’s the only proof
That my mind wasn’t playing tricks
That I really saw you there
In the church
Garden
While you sat on our bench
Nibbling our lovely
Mint leaves
It was really bizarre
Like I was back in 2013
When you always made me smile
And my cheek muscles never got
Tired
It made me so scared to blink
Cause I knew you’d be gone
Again
Like a shriveled mint leaf
Blowing along the
Midsummer wind

Garden Girl
MSunspoken Feb 2021
I remember that day
Sunny with a breeze
Yet you stood there standing
In a jacket at the garden
Though
I never got the chance to ask why
Because that’s when you noticed
Me standing there watching
And so you dug into your big jacket pocket
And pulled out some seeds
Oh, but I was so confused at the time
Who are you, garden girl?
But I never asked
I took the seeds, and we started digging
The heat beat down on us
But you just smiled
I used to hate the sun
Until I saw that smile
Once we had our seed buried
We watered it and then
You stood and held out your hand
I can’t help but smile at the memory
Of that garden girl
So nice to the rabbit who’d have ruined
Her garden
Although it was against all odds
Our flower grew so tall
A shining sunflower
Reminds me of someone
After that day
I cant remember being out of that garden
My favorite place
After all, there’s a garden girl there
Keeping me company throughout my days
But recently I can’t help but notice
That sometimes my garden girl cries
She cries over her garden
Soiling flowers as she goes
Flowers don’t need any salt, garden girl!
So I went and I asked
Why she watered her garden with sadness
Yet all she did was smile
And walk on over to our flower
OUR sunflower
I couldn’t believe my eyes
As a single teardrop sang through the air
And kissed one of our beautiful petals
I couldn’t even watch
As our petal shriveled up
And fell to the ground
That’s when I realized
This lush, enchanting garden
Was my garden girl’s graveyard

How I Feel You to Be
MSunspoken Feb 2021
In my smile
You are my 180 degree
In my eyes
You are the moonlight upon my sea
In my words
You are the beat to my melody
In my heart
You are the quartet of my symphony
In my mind
You are the answer to my mystery
In my life
You are the stars in my galaxy
MSunspoken Feb 2021
Up the path, I traveled
On an old, slouching hill
Though the truth had been unknown
To what it would reveal

Time seemed to slither
Through deceit as I wavered
My confusion leaving my mind
tired, and unbidden

One plain stone after another
Surely, all I had seen
Though there really was no telling
As if I‘d tread within a dream

Steps overlapped like the shadows
Left and right, all the same
For where I had been was not one path
But many, individuals erased

The day gave but once
Though countless nights I had surrendered
And whatever my previous purpose
Was forgotten, whispered in the wind

It Wasn't a Dream
MSunspoken Nov 2020
At dusk
My eyelids fell
Leaving me
Curious

In no time
My eyes had to wander
So up went my lids
Shocked

Just a second passed
I took a look around
The stormy wind blew
Distressed

A moment later
I saw the world tilt
I flew onto the deck
Confused

I was a second too late
As the water soaked my lungs
Salty ocean blades
Overwhelming

As hours went by
I flailed amidst the sea
Blue in the face
Terrified

By dawn, I saw
life, within a wreath
Swimming around an island
Relieved

It could have been days
As I trudged to land
Finally, I reached salvation
Desperately

Then time stopped
And my eyes flew back open
Revealing my room
Awoken

Change of Season
MSunspoken Sep 2020
Numbing chill
Amongst the gale
Ice cold breath
Trembling still
Heart be lost
Buried in snow

Tundras melt
Icebergs weep
Fingerlike rays
Warm on skin
Breath of life
Thaws a heart
Found by a beacon

Change of Season

Bristling leaves
Blue skies
Blowing trees
All a relief

Filling the air
Fretting my hair
Reminding me
Rebuilding my heart
Refilling the gaps
Now full of happiness

Sometimes
I really can’t help
But hate you

So fake

Vying for perfection
It’s sick

Look into a mirror

Always
You will be the very worst

I'm Thinking Of
MSunspoken Sep 2020
A shoestring girl
Curled up in an attic
Who’s remembering a family
That’s picture-perfect
Using the dust
To form a father
A lively one
Who’s supportive
That hugs a doll
Made of scraps
A mother
Who loves
Without condition
That’s always scolding
Two brothers
A pair of woodchips
Who run all-day
On a concrete drive
Which lays in front
Of a cookie-cutter
Home
Whose neighbors laugh
And play outside
Where everyone smiles
Free of worries
About the future
Or what will change
Because the memories
Of that shoestring girl
Were morphed to be
Picture-perfect
Through an adolescent
Mind
Full of ignorance

Monster House
MSunspoken Jul 2020
Reinforced glass
Lay upon my sill
A shield built into
My keep
Unbeknownst
To everyone
But me
A precaution
Firewall so to speak
Caging
what lay inside
A rotting house
An overgrown beast
Riddled with landmines
Dangerous
And never to be
Seen
Though it continues
To creak and crumble
Taunting me
To walk back down
Those corroded
Stones
And open the door
Unleashing
The secrets
Of a house
Never home to me
For clarification- the poem starts from within my mind, not the "house" .

An Ongoing Storm
MSunspoken Jul 2020
A tip of my hat
To the cumulus that looms
A prowling lion in the clouds
Signifies my doom

Now amidst the fog
All six senses ***** the air
Something must be lurking
-I reason a cat, but fear a bear

I cast aside my shadow
A cloak I once hand stitched
-My reason clatters to the ground
Patience snubbed into abyss

I curse my aching feet
Starting to lose their ground
-Yet not a bench within a mile
And not a soul to be found

My feet berate the dirt
Blindly running until I’m lost
I sit within the rain    
My mind jumbled in a knot

But then a second look
I see a peek of sky
Tonight the stars were silent
And now I see them shine
This was the poem I used for an ongoing contest. It was hard because I haven't felt motivated to write- but you won't see"the stars"shine unless you look up.

I Hate My Love
MSunspoken May 2020
Moonlight dancing off my cheeks
A reflection of my heart
-tonight I will remember
how you tore me apart

Somehow
The sun shined different in your eyes
-a good front
for all your nasty lies

Every day
I marvel in the warmth that you made
-I thought you
could take my pain away

It was you
That gave me the world after all
-too bad shiny pearls
couldn’t break my fall

So close
For all my growing years
-as it turns out
nothing was that crystal clear

Your front fell
The moment I reached out my arms
-I was too late
to hear the alarms

If it wasn’t me
You’d be called out for your crimes
-never again
will you see what’s on my mind

But this new dawn is a bright one
Not even you can bring shade
-so in the end
I hope you’re still doing okay
This one can be perceived in many ways-
but always it comes back to a road you can look back on with a smile.
Better to remember how your past helped mold you into who you are- then dwell on what once ruined you.
May 2020 · 201
Naive
MSunspoken May 2020
You aren’t broken
Emotions are a constant flow from you
-a growing stain on your perspective

You aren’t sad
Tears may leak you a river
But you haven’t looked up in ages

You aren’t lonely
Always surrounded by onlookers
-you just don’t feel involved

You aren’t depressed
A cloud has only passed over your head
Raining down on your conscience

You aren’t scared
What even is fear to someone
Who always has the electric bill paid

You aren’t a liar
Experience just hasn’t caught you yet
Wait until what you say is true-
Naive-don't say what you don't know.
A universal word.

Quicksand
MSunspoken Apr 2020
Enemy moving in
An old friend-
Itching under the skin
Clawing away at marrow

Sleep hollows the mind
Blank of reality-
Ah, but not a sign
Of it making haste anytime soon

Isolation known and welcome
Familiar as it comes-
Although this feeling is all but seldom
Paranoia is beginning to show

Memory of this wrath
Now too real to be past tense-
slinking straight down the path
Once tread and disrupted

Growling straight out of a nightmare
Emanating throughout the room-
This hunger is constantly aware
Though it’s warning is lost to mind

Pain is quite the grounder
A reminder to keep in time-
Stand upright despite the hour
Always alert within these confines
My therapist cannot contact me-
"I'll be fine"

Lost Connection
MSunspoken Apr 2020
Balance, once forthcoming
unsteady-
Now heavy feet wobble
in the wake of fleeting certainty

Leafy determination
crunched and battered-
Sifting about, once a wonder
dried, victim of Winter

Cracked, withered concrete
foundation chipped away-
Paint rolled over in submission
having past years to pay

Stone left to shame
smothered by the vandals-
Cruelty primped and perfected
pitying eyes serving no justice

Free fall, bound by distrust
unprecedented in the past-
Loosely sleeved history repeats
snuffing this connection all at once
My family has never been a close one. Slowly, we disappear from each other's lives.
Gone- forgetting us, along with our past.

Leader
MSunspoken Mar 2020
Voicing fervent beliefs
Tone-
As hard as stone
Carry your legacy on-
Or simply create your own
strut the halls
With perfect posture-
Never forgotten,
Is that confidence
Swing your gait-
A daring sashay,
And lead the weak-
make them tough as bone
Yet never forget
In which you came-
So speak your name
Scream it to be remembered
The name in which
leads people together
You
Are
A
Leader
*sigh*
This isn't for my "challenge"...
BUT! Somehow, this isolation is feeding into a new writing block.
Being surrounded by people sheds a light on my writing, giving me near endless possibilities. Though-I no longer have that.
So, here I am, trying to recover (of course, it had to be an inspirational poem).

Not About Love
MSunspoken Mar 2020
Your words call me forward
Arms draw me near
Hold me here forever-
How about we stay together?

Your love is a harpoon
Don’t seem so stressed-
I’ll polish it to perfection-
Until I see my heart’s reflection

Your warmth is my sun
Please keep me healthy,
And I promise to try and heal  you-
Fix you up, just like new

Your crazy is my flame
stay forever in my heart,
Burn it to an ember-
Carving your name into its center

Your determination is my anchor
So let me be your captain,
Let’s sail these wild waters-
Lead this lamb to the slaughter

Your goodbye is my demise
Leave me here to rot
Broken and *****-
Love, don’t you know you hurt me?
Too much? I actually wrote this through a different perspective than usual, so keep that in mind....
Toxic relationships though, am I right? Is a moment of comfort worth years of self-destruction? Or constant regrets? No? Then maybe it's worth the self-consciousness?
Hateful thoughts?
Mhmmm, it seems really irrational...but just stop and imagine an abused, starved, and nearly frozen dog....left outside for days..Then,for just a few moments, the backdoor opens. That dog would run to the door like it would never run again, maybe even if it knows the blow that's about to come...as well as the following days of suffering. Just one moment of warmth is all it wants.

Bonds
MSunspoken Mar 2020
A cicada to a tree
A flower in the earth;
Ties in life
Timing way before man

Trickling little stream
-Into a lake
Droplets to the ground
Set a cycle going again

Saguaros in the sand
A woodpecker flying about
Sharing nutrients together
Rarely ever found

Season change as it may
Everything will come and go
First the cicada in a tree
And the streams constant flow

Crystals take shape in time
Individual beauty they each hold-
But a jeweler is always picky
The deal is one for one

The birds always flee
Right where the grass is greenest-
Gone is the icy past
Although the memory never forgotten
Someone I've known for a long time is about to move away, so I wrote this poem for her. I hate having sad goodbyes, so I hope this reminder will be worthwhile.

Continuous Rhythm
MSunspoken Mar 2020
At dawn
The doves hum,
The rivers run,
The mothers sing,
The roosters scream
We all continue on

Mid-day
The bees hum,
The children run,
The wind chimes sing,
The cicadas scream
We all continue on

Afternoon
The workers hum,
The engines run,
The radios sing,
The sirens scream,
We all continue on

Midnight
The clubs hum,
The late shifts run,
The crickets sing,
The concerts scream,
We all continue on

Forever
The world will hum,
The clocks will run,
The life will sing,
The death will scream,
We all continue on

Labyrinth
MSunspoken Feb 2020
Tread my paths
-calm and collected

Lose yourself
-your mind, your presence

Open your arms
-I’ll  guide you to my heart

Memorize the past
-mold it with the present

Remember me
-lost but not forgotten

Cherish this
-time is constantly fleeting

Leave me then
-a reminder of a heart’s distant beating

I’ll see you again
-right when you least expect it

Opening My Eyes
MSunspoken Feb 2020
We caress the heavens together
-Calm-
In a trance

Lost in a sea of souls
I find you hard to miss
-familiar-
I can’t escape your pull

I flow
-not with the wind-
But with you
Bending air as I go

My whole eternity is you
A blue vastness
-too great to ignore-
From my perspective

I live for you
As there is nothing else
Quite as magnetic
-although, I’m trapped for sure-

My naivete may live on
Yet even I ponder
The slight trembling in my heart
Subconscious, or am I over?

There, a world spilling with ants
So small-
Yet visible with their feats of humanity
-I can see it so clearly now-

Where once there were only specs-
Now there lay a myriad of wonders
Right before me
-the haze clearing-

My confidence
often a victim of gravity-
So steady hands always pulled me up
Right on cloud nine

I no longer feel the softness of those palms-
Once my ever-aiding life
-safety-
I have fallen out of your grasp

The wetness of tears
Staining my existence-
Yet clearing it all the same
I fall as the icy raindrops guide my demise

All hard and true-
I must accept my punishment
For I have lived on far too long
And know much too little

Seeping into reality-
I can feel every texture on my skin
Every imperfection on the ground
-forever taunting me-

Leaving the once continuous cycle-
Venturing into the unknown
Where-for once-
A seed may grow larger than a planter could ever provide

A wild flower-
Thriving in a sea of individuality
Forever smiling at the sky
Despite the abandonment
Although I let myself avoid the truth for years, I had to except it sometime.
Unfortunately, that happened much too late-
right when everything came crumbling down (much like a cloud-drained of it's rain).

What's with Love?
MSunspoken Feb 2020
What’s the big deal?
Those who obsess
Over the cruelest thing
And continue to address
All the problems it brings
Why even bother?
With that grueling temptation
That scars you so
resulting in a lifetime of medication
Who wants that?
Hurt set so deep
Forever a bleeding memory
Intruding on those nights hollow of sleep
Is it really worth it?
The sort of warmth you may feel
Although fleeting-
May it be real
May it be a memory worth keeping
What’s the reason?
For letting oneself fall
Right on their knees-
Becoming so small
As  light as the breeze
But maybe?
They might not want it at all-
Those pesky butterflies,
That siren call
Bringing your soul to life
Is it forced?
The speed of their heart
The feel, that warmth-
The pain of being torn apart
Why do it?
All one can ask for-
Is a companion in life
Life?
****** be the people-
Fate carries on no matter what
And love?
Always demands an encore!
May we never forget those who left us, hurt us, or just couldn't care less?
Of Course!
But that feeling of remembrance is too sweet to deny...
until you find yourself alone.

Soldier
MSunspoken Feb 2020
Meandering within
my oasis so bleak
I search for a puddle
or two, or three
To fill my void with color
alas I lack it so-
Yet dry it may be
a body with no bones
is  simply a catastrophe

A brick of an idea
forever a missing stair-
Crashing waves of my conscience-
proving hard to keep steady

A common melody I sing-
a  marching song to accompany me
I have a duty to protect
Why do I do it again?
Oh yes!
A world without tragedy-
would be a place of no hope
So I continue marching to the beat
and dance along side it

The darkest nights
pressed together with a myriad of bright lights
Although some  are too far gone;
filled with drear and covered with smog
That paints a starry night so deep
relaying the tales my path foresaw
And tilting my world off its axis

A whirlwind lifts my thoughts
and settles them in my soul-
A kin to my heart;
an endless symbol of myself

A wave of calm despite the storm
I keep steady in its wake,
Survive the disaster presented
And so
I may carry the debt of its weight

Even the scariest monsters-
Enjoy a good nap
So the booming may end
But I know better
_
I will keep up this wall,
So I may shelter those dear
And fight off the harm
Oh, I can already sense it coming
Believe it or not, I did decide to continue the challenge I set  fir myself! This poem is actually written for a good friend of mine...I understand what she's going through right now, but I can't stand to pity her. We can be two brick walls, united-making us unbreakable!

Grudge
MSunspoken Jan 2020
A bird cannot  fly
If it carries too much weight on it’s wings-
Instead it will be left to silently cry
As it watches all it’s friends

A roadrunner cannot run
If it eats too many worms-
Not because of any extra weight
But because his conscience holds his feet

A human cannot thrive
As long as they’re alone-
But alone they will stay
If they carry hate in their soul

A Silent Queen
MSunspoken Jan 2020
I may be mute but I can promise you this,
I know better than most,
of this long dark abyss

I watch from afar,
all the mistakes that you make
-
and how you hastily cover them
adding icing on the cake

Though I may not be perfect
and my throat is made of ice,
I have a voice of silk,
simple yet precise

A house made of brick
I stand strong in the presence ,
of the tiny cardboard cookie-cutters
-
built weak without foundations

so kiss my hands
and bow at my feet,
bending to my will\
and admitting your defeat

Sometimes
MSunspoken Jan 2020
"Actions speak louder than words", they'd say to me

"Sometimes"
MSunspoken Jan 2020
A life so bright,
It burns my eyes

A home so wonderful,
the changing colors-
my most honored prize

A melody so sweet,
I can feel my heart bleed
-
While Unicorns and Rainbows fill the air with glee

Although all that sounds so magical,
I believe it’s called a dream for a reason
-
But I keep lying to myself,
Indulging  in a world so impractical

Singles

A lonely soul may doubt their worth
not believing a word of the divine-

just-
take all of your bills and pray the bank has enough singles to make you believe

Wicked Assumptions
MSunspoken Jan 2020
Have you ever felt stricken-
By a false statement
Or cared to comment on destruction

Maybe a phrase
Or simple statement
Had ruined your day

One may think they know
But at heart
Nobody may ever-
Because a poet's words reach deeper than the heart
In fact
They carve into your soul

Perhaps someone can connect to an idea-
And make it their own,
But a band with just one beautiful trumpet-
Can never share the credit

Although unintentional
One “harmless” comment-
Might just lead to a string
Of awfully wicked assumptions
A poem can speak a million truths, the only difference is circumstance.

Butterflies
MSunspoken Jan 2020
A whistle in the wind
A rumble in the ground
-
Sin may be close to kin
yet with the softness of a cloud

A fast pitter-pat
A tickle close to heart
-
Beware of that feeling
-Squash it with a start
I wrote this for my friend.....though, I suppose she may never see it.

Torn
MSunspoken Dec 2019
Curse on the soul-
An impending wrecking ball
A deep deep hole
Closing you in
Leaving nowhere to go

It’s a ride or die
You decide your fate
Ride the tide
Or get buried in its wake

Nobody can simply ignore
That missing piece-
But you were naive
And at the time you didn’t know
That if you let your heart grow too far
It will  rip and leave you wanting more

Christmas Tragedies
MSunspoken Dec 2019
A crisp night
Illuminated with the oncoming excitement
A jolly season all in all
Creates an ignorance great enough to fill the world with joy
And create shadows on the truth
To mask any horrid feelings
For -anyone that may be feeling down
Wll be excluded from all the glory-
And so nobody hears it
And they all ignore the drops-
Of crystals into the sky
As the moon sobs high above
Only able to watch everything unfold
While everyone is cheery
And shouting in happiness
They forget the oncoming troubles
That will create a massacre great enough to shroud all hope
Of a Merry Christmas

Beautiful Ignorance
MSunspoken Dec 2019
Walking through the dunes
Of this deserted island-
Stopping for nothing
Couldn’t even if I wanted
there are monsters creeping
Snakes who pretend to be sleeping
Right until you step near-
And they’ll bite with a vengeance
So blaming, blaming
How could they dare!
My actions are justified
No matter the tear
Don’t look at me like that
I’m not like the others
I walk with one purpose-
to escape from this prison
An isolated place
So different from the rest
It welcomes you in
But you may never escape
Like the jaws of a lion
Or a decision you made
Such as continuing on-
Can you ever stop?
And as you try to climb, the mounds of sand so high
you slip and fall
Will you keep trying at all?
Of course
But you’ll break from the exertion
Yet you continue climbing
Knowing soon will be your end
Beautiful
really
But why  not play the game of the land
And sink all the others-
It’s Simply because you don’t want to know
The ***** ways of the snake
And the consequences of the show
So you trudge on with ignorance
And live in your beautiful bliss
That is until it hits you-
Reality that is
I won't reveal the personal story behind this, but the point is pretty clear.
This will be interpreted differently, depending on one's experience, but I hope that for at least one person, they find the tone to be happy rather than  somber.
