I need to get away or run away or stay away just get me
away from
Here.

I need to
Be somewhere or someone else for awhile
Just not me
and not here.
Families searching for their loved ones
After the mud has settled to the ground
And water is flowing at a normal pace
But all that left are the little memories
In forms of clothing, pearls or
In their decayed form as a skeleton
This poem is part of my One Final Truth poetry series, which is about climate change.
They all witnessed the horror with their eyes
While this poet was horrified from what I saw on TV
Families stuck between the flood water, holding each other close
Gets thrown off from the height like a rock falling from waterfall
 
How can that fool sleep at night after watching this?
Just a little message from him into local newspaper
And the story settles to the ground, never rising again
Until more atrocious scenes baffles the mankind
This poem is part of my One Final Truth poetry series, which is about climate change.
the town that once sat in the foothills
one night felt the terror of nature
someone was dancing with their lover
while someone was having dinner
and someone was playing with their kids
it all came down like the ruins of an empire
the rocks started to destroy the homes
then the water that followed swept away everything

When you kissed me
I tasted him on your lips
You didnt say it
But I knew:
I was always just backup
Because I feel like I’m always the second choice
Meet me among the numbing fields
where the cream narcissus grows.

Where my desperate human voice sings
against the flow of the autumn winds.

Do you hear the pillars of my empathy crumbling?

The wicked Imbolc has passed,
leaving me naked and sick in the light
of longer days.

Yellow-trumpeted blooms of each joss flower
are caught swaying to the emptying sounds
of my apathy.

Where I have been patiently waiting for
the flowering blood of hyacinth.
My heart may crumble
in your hands
like Autumn leaves

but I am a Spring storm in waiting,
ready to drown yours in rain,
until it shrivels up and dies
We’re on a boulevard of broken streets
Disaster areas
Hesitation of free speech
A turbulence that shaking up our world
Emotions high, continuous swirls
2020 has truly been a mess
But on the other hand we are blessed
