betterdays
there it was,
sitting in the
tiny rainbow room
of my brain,
you know,
my joy's broom closet,
just behind the third eye.

was an inkling,
it was just a little one,
of an effervescent poem,
written with the love of silly.
it was born from,
the smackerel of hunny
held so stickily in the bear's paw(maw).
the one that lives
on the corner,
and is always looking
for more

it became then,
a twinkling.
it was growing you see,
expanding in girth,
learning of mirth,
the art of the funny.
it was begining to be,
the notion of an idea,
all perpertual motion
and fuzzy with glee.

it bursts forth from,
the closet and into the
brain,
in a wizzing, fizzing, ball,
too hard to contain.
around and about,
it ricochetted.

trying to find
a small pocket,
of spared thought
in which to fit
and sit for a while,
to cogitate it's
self into an amusing,
musing,
of rude and unseemly
health.

but alas and alack,
it could find no berth
in the banality,
no perch for it's caprice.

wrinkling now,
with the loss
of it's earlier gleam,
it suffers from
a bout of hysteria
and screams in futility.

please, let me  be,
a thought, complete
and in context.

let me, not suffer,
the fate of being,
just a half arsed dream.

it can see, no worse fate
for an inkling,
with some gumption.
to wither and die,
as a mere
whimsical fantasy.
with, proud and lofty thoughts, passing on by,
with not nary, a glance
in the direction,
and little to no,
compassion,
for the fate of
the poor inkling.

that once ,
had delusions of granduer.
far above, it's humble station.

where a song would be played
and a friend would jump up
and say Hey? Remember when...

except the songs in my head
are not symphonies
they're not even solos
just discordant notes
after uncoordinated notes

and reminds me
I have to tune my guitar

the one that will never play
a melody again

picking through the litter
discarded over time
it's amazing,
what you find

a tortured mind
easily resurrected
I gave it a home
with like minded
was not going to
leave it behind

a broken soul
such a tiny light
laying beneath rubble
trying to struggle
with unworthiness
and fright
I showed it a Sunrise
and a Sunset
and asked it to map
days spent
breathing in and out
and watched it grow

a shattered heart
now that, I couldn't fix
so I placed all the small pieces
in a crystal bowl
and sat it upon my hope chest
except for one small sliver
I laid gently upon my breast
and gave it a place to rest

wear that
                  wear this

Smile

don't laugh

don't. even. think

about the                
aftermath*

little princess
in your pretty dress

little prisioner
naked beneath satin

little faker
pretending less

little liar
it's not the end
if it looks like a snake, moves like a snake and hisses like a snake... girlfriend, it's a snake :)

moisture wets dry tongue,
drink in the adulation
that you ****** upon
Helen May 2014
you'd sit
beside my grave
revealing
how you
really
feel
