Calvin Alden Nov 2024
I wake up
Unsure of the where
Yet driven with why
The path is clear
This is not the first
3000 times I've tried
Calvin Alden Nov 2024
I write because
This sorrow wells
To overflow the chambers
Of a heart already
Sectioned and cold
By loss upon loss
Calvin Alden Nov 2024
I only have until
This flame dies
The wax is old
Flame sputters weak
There is a breeze
Yet still it burns
Calvin Alden Nov 2024
Watch the starts turn
The horizon bends
To swallow them whole
The moon rises and runs
It can only run so long
The dance resumes tomorrow
Calvin Alden Nov 2024
There is a pull
From where I know not
It demands attention
It has hooked my soul
My body cannot follow
I am rent in twain
Calvin Alden Nov 2024
The lake below the ice
Is another world
Teeming with alien life
Inhospitable to me
But come the spring
I will be an interstellar traveller
Calvin Alden Nov 2024
My dream is hers
Her memories come too
She calls herself me
The stranger stares back
Our worries feedback
She cries to sleep
