I want
to say sorry
but I’m not sure
how many sorrys
I have left
E B K Jan 2019
My poems seem to have been
torn
apart
the edges frayed
the phrases broken
unable to be put
back
together
again
I seem to have all these snippets of poetry inside my head, but they haven't seemed to cohere lately. This is about that frustration.
E B K Dec 2018
Have you found your way
To your Garden of Eden?
Walking on the gravel
Of your self-made path

The stars have emerged above you
As you enter your land of joy
The voices of your future
Begin to grow in laughs

You will soon laugh with them too
Perpetually

And yet, what have you
left behind?
The echo of your past
My voice
missing you,
longing for you,
Fading into black
The tears forming a stream
That you can go across

And I, what was I?
A pause in your journey?
A consideration of your story
That was eventually pushed away?

And so
As you get closer to your Garden
As the cross-hatched landscape
is fading into mist
The colors will get brighter
And more beautiful
And I
Will be already

Gone
Endings can be hard
E B K Dec 2018
and that
was the last time
I wished you
Happy birthday
