a haiku for you

please don't forget me
I'm only here for so long
I'm worth it, I swear

we spend each season,
yearning for the next
jumping head first
into salt water
wishing it were leafs,
or kicking up leafs,
wishing it were snow

we just never stop
wishing long enough
to feel ourselves grow

then one day we wake up
to a shy sun, not yet fully risen
and the windows are closed,
and the blinds are drawn,
and for one half of a second
we look in the mirror
and we have no sense of time,
no sense of season...
we're just so much older
older than we remember
and we don't know
how or when it happened

I cling
to words
for fear
that my body
could
disappear

The world's less fair than they let on
because everybody can't have this much fun.
Learn how to make the subtlest of calls, then, my friend
you can have it all.

Ever wonder why villains are such an opulent lot?
It's because **** always floats to the top.
If you're quiet about it,
Loose ethics make for good times,
But stalwart morals are what'll keep you sublime.

We are prisoners to
our comfort zones

An avalanche of mischief
Masks my despair
The moon creates a portal
And I see your face there
You sit upon your throne
Watch the world in a cage
Try not to show the white flag
Your soul harbors no rage
An ocean of memories
Turns the world to stones
A snake in the grass
That covers your bones
A sacrifice clad in emotions
A mission left incomplete
A shadow in the distance
Promises defeat
Losing dignity bit by bit
But you're motionless in the cloud
Carrying a silver scythe
To make your father proud
Trouble brewing over the hill
Is enough to condemn a man
But water flowing from a cool spring
Makes tradition of the plan
