Laurel Leaves
its the over powering aroma of similar scenes displayed in a parallel pattern
while you lay horizontal to the projections of life as they distill through the decades
I’ve lived this same night, years prior,
I’ll live this night again in the future
I want the wine to bite my lower lip
I would like to place my hand on every single lap in this bar
I cannot seem to find the weight in how extravagant just being in the woods alone felt
I lapse, the inhale of each trigger while it greets me,
seduces me to another rapid heart rate
You’d say my depression comes in phases,
that each mental breakdown holds similar to the last,
not entirely wrong,
but I’d interject and remind you,
they're all unique in the way you cut through me
consuming
I yield,
heavier than the last
tomorrow as insignificant as the past.

Many years I've spent in your grace.

Days filled with joy, orange sunsets on summer nights,

but slowly, and then all at once, they turn red.

In the next moment it's over, and you can breathe in the breeze;
Fresh Air.

Free from bindings I carefully crafted, out of a stifling cell, gone is
The Warden.

You know what they say,
"you and me and the devil makes three",
but you're the devil in disguise.

And honey, I'm not in hell no more.
I'm really glad I made the titles of these past poems a pair- because Orpheus is how I used to feel but now it's Eurydice, or at least it's where I'm getting to- not giving a **** about them or being under their control.

Deep Sleeper

When I was young
I found amusement
In my ability to sleep through storms
And other calamitous events
It seemed so silly to me
That something so obvious
Could go by unnoticed
But as I've gotten older
The nights have gotten subtler
The nightmares have
Become vivid reflections
A gruesome parody of life
I startle awake most nights and
I don't sleep so well anymore
-
I wonder when I stopped being
A deep sleeper
And began fearing
Waking up a second too late

Senior Year

It’s our final year,
Of high school here,
Then soon we’ll leave our mark,
To make a world of our own.

Though we are just a speck,
Drifting through time.
It seems through all these years,
Gone in just a flash of light,
That moved way too fast.

We’ve made it through the stress,
And moments of being depressed.
Now we are waiting for our moment,
Where we will be best dressed.

Some will apply to move forward,
And others prefer to stay,
But we all will make decisions,
To make our own way.

Ordering our gowns,
Removing our frowns,
Planning for prom,
Not realizing,
How much we might miss mom.

But until that day,
Here we’ll stay,
Waiting for our taste of freedom.


But until that day,
Here we’ll stay,
To a new chapter,
To a story that has just begun.
Now that I am a few days into my senior year of high school, I can't wait till it's over. But I have to remember that I should really relish in this school year because it only happens once.

Happiness the state
Wish I could confine it to be forever mine
The thought does cross my mind
But
Selfish I am not
So I’d set it free
It should reach one all
As it came to me
Some positive thoughts

A Purpose

What would the world be like
Without
Any presence of conscience
;
Heartless beings
Plodding around
No purpose
Except survival
;
The rule of
Survival
Of the fittest
Is relevant among
Us beasts with hearts
Yet we romanticize and capitalize
The rules
That we follow
To survive
;
A planet of these 'zombies'
Would serve the purpose
Of the letters 'ay'
In the word
'Okay'
Yet this presence of conscience,
And heart
In this deceptive reality
Of ours
Does keep reminding
Each individual
That a purpose does exist
A purpose to our existence,
Along with our actions
As they all stem from the roots of
A conscience

To be in love is a glorious place to be.....It is not just a feeling but a state of mind also......the good days and bad you must work on this so your love will continue to grow.....the world is a scary place but if you are with the right person it can be oh so beautiful......when your eyes capture the most beautiful smile ....and you stare into her eyes and they instantly captivate you......you will know......these are some of the things that true love brings......with no words as you look into each others eyes you will hear the birds sing.....the sweet sounds of this will remind you of that very first kiss......how you felt inside.....and slowly your heart will start to glide....so now when that full moon rises look to the stars .......and remember only true love can heal those scars.......
