In one line I could tell you everything

no offense but IDK if its just me but i've started to have a distaste for one-line poetry. I didn't care at first, but now it begins to bother me.

I am tongue-tied
And I hesitate
To ask you
What I need of you

I was a tad hurt before
That is true
But I don't see pain in you
I see a brightness

I want to take the leap

Redemption

Then, out of nowhere,
I sat up in the dark
and started to sing
soft notes unnamed
giving and taking
just enough air
to reverberate
my heart
and muster
my soul
until silently singing
I headed for the door.

Those lazy days when

Those lazy days when
Your soul pleads with you to leave - -
So you leave the house
You get in the car, city bound
And breathe in the books and ink

Rain

It's kinda cool how when life is normal
rainy days make me lethargic and unmotivated.
But when life is hard and I'm struggling
rainy days are the greatest comfort,
as if the earth is crying with me
saying that I'm allowed to feel it all

“Smoky”

Brand new whisky dreams.
I know now why people drink.
To feel warmth and heat.
It dissipates into smoke.
A smooth defeated finish.

A tanka dedicated to my first experience with hard liquors - scotch whisky

IDK II

The notebook is red
My jacket is blue
I'm way too bored
To do this work that is due
