Paramount Pawn

Though I forgot about you
Somewhere I feel know you
A part of me says I know you
Maybe it could be that
What the mind forgets
The heart remembers

Heard that line from a story i read so credits to that story

I Remember

Heavy rain
Alone in my humble chamber
Shadows of the droplets hitting the side of the windows

I remember
I remember your smile
I remember the ways you talk and you
The way the sun rays hit on you that day when we said good bye

All I can do is to remember you
Nothing more

Not knowing tomorrow will be a bright new different day

#goodbye #remember #you

Transformation

I'm kin to the caterpillar
hidden within seasonal sac
awaiting destined identity
tucked tightly into darkness
this secret, inscrutable place

Does it know it will become
a delicate creature of beauty?
Does it know it will soon fly?

I wonder...

do I?

NYPC #13

You made me this
This bird with broken wings
You took away my voice
And my ability to sing

Haha I skipped 12 cuz it looks a bit too complicated for my sleep deprived brain...We share our world with about 9,956 species of birds. Write a poem about birds -- their lives, their habits, the wild, the domesticated, their place in your life, what it might be like to be one, metaphors associated with birds, whatever bird-like imagining you can come up with.

Reminiscing Flight (Acoustic Lyrics with audio)

Chorus
Watch me fly
Let me fly away
As the bird
I take a flight away

Verse 1
In the still, silence pervades
No reminiscence of a past gone away
You watched me talk,
Then I lost all my words you waved
Goodbye, sad goodbyes
In the caves, the echo of my voice pollutes
It’s in the when, the how all the where

Verse 2
In the fields, I withered as the crops bloomed
No remembrance of a past erased
You heard me beg,
As I lost all the will to live but die
The pointed fingers on my being
In the brave, I took the shield and guarded up
It’s the now, the never ending paths

Bridge**
Parachuting from the skies
The distance is to high
But I trust the safety net
The hailing jet
I wear the sailing zest

Glass Figurines

You came to me
In a dream.
Together we looked
For a glass figurine.

We finally found
The transparent bird
In an antique drawer
Split in thirds.

I pressed the pieces
Against one another--
Our love,
Like an invisible glue.

For, that little bird
regained its wings
and away you flew.

You were at peace,
Ready to leave.
And I made a promise:
I'll take care of your girls
(Your glass figurines).

The Little Bird

Here goes the little bird
The little bird with wings of rainbow
Tweeting behind my window
Not a care in the world
How I wish I'm the little bird
I'd free all my cares to the wind
I'd twirp and chirp till I'm rid of my sorrow
