I ask you one thing:
ecstasy or misery -
which is prettier?
annh Sep 2021
A caged bird sings,
not to entertain
but in the hope
that its call
will be answered
by a familiar tune.

To the north: Can you hear me?
To the east: I am listening.
To the south: Are you there?
To the west: Until tomorrow.

‘I'm just tired of everything…even of the echoes. There is nothing in my life but echoes…echoes of lost hopes and dreams and joys. They're beautiful and mocking.’
- L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea

I wonder what all
the greats would
think of this generation

and how their
morality

only goes as far
as the
breakfast
table

before it
eats itself.

Ordinary sadness today
But I did talk to my Q

Snows of Kilimanjaro
Carolina blue

Father Greeley at my side
Postcards. Just a few.

For her. And them. And us.
Silence seeping through.

If you become a poet
What you leave behind is words
You wish for future readers
Readers who have heard

The music in your soul
The vision in your mind
The torment of your obsessions
I hope you treat me kind

Full moon tonight
White alight the glow
Church gentle stone
Celtic Cross I know

Little garden pathway
Frat house Fortunate Son
My prayers are in the angle
And for Taipei 101

          Thy will be done.

There was always
A part of me
That wanted to make
A getaway from reality
And experience the magic
In the greatest galaxies

There was always
A part of me
That longed to create
Splendacious poetry
That resonated with society
Find great signification
In my terminology

There was always
A part of me
That wished to leave
A legacy behind
To highly inspire others
To be the greatest success they could be
