In Partes Tres
Landon Keys Mar 2022
Vita mea est divisa in partes tres

Pars una est amare
Pars duae est lacrimare
Pars tres est mori

There will be no one on this journey to help me,
and I'm there to forgot the one I would be thinking about the entire time.
Well,
time to go.

Then I wonder why it matters.

Yeah

Peace
Landon Keys Oct 2023
I woke up and made peace with the moon
All is everything
All is chemical
All is sublime
I can sleep
I can dream
I can dream about dreams
I woke up and made peace with my coffee cup
The world woke up and I made peace with my coffee cup
Repost from 14 years ago.

Yesterday got away from me
Yesterdays tend to do that
Tomorrow we can try again
Or maybe I'll just get a new cat

A great realization
The first way was right
Just give me some time
And it'll be alright
The bitter sweetness
Of a friendship teetering
On the fence of truth
And needing

I miss my blue hat
Landon Keys Mar 2023
I miss you
I miss me
The simple ways
When all it took
Was a laugh
When all we needed
Was to get out of class
When I was happy on a cloudy day
Not sad on a sunny one
I miss that
I miss my blue hat.

Sondering
Landon Keys May 2022
I sondered
As you passed me by
I wondered
As many past goodbyes
I stiffened
As I saw you cry

Was your life
As sad as mine?

I offered
As you stopped in awe
I assured you
As your tears did fall
I listened
As you told it all

Our world of sadness
Is not so small

I let you know
I too have felt it
I too have known
The weight of existence
Upon your soul
I promise you
You're not alone

Let us go together now
I'll wipe away the tears and clouds
No longer will this strife enshroud
Our lives this way with fears and doubts

Together we are stronger
Than we could ever be alone
Please take my hand dear friend
And let us wander home

Space Man in Love
Landon Keys Oct 2022
Hello little star
I see your little light
So high up in the sky
But I know you're burning bright
So far away in space
A million miles away
I long to touch your face
And soon I will some day
From earth your light seems dim
But I know this isn't true
So I'll take off through the heavens
In my rocket ship I flew
Quick in your direction
I am hurling like a comet
There you are to guide me
I'm in love and cannot stop it
A star that burns so fiercely
So brightly in the sky
Baby I'm your astronaut
So come me with me and fly

Metamorphosis

Know it now in your cocoon
Eventually, yes, you will bloom
Never think you are not perfect
Do not doubt, you are worth it
Realize please that you're now mine
And spread your wings, my butterfly

Perhaps
Landon Keys May 2022
Perhaps,
The great perhaps
has passed
Thinking of people
You've met and asked
When're you done?
Who are you now?
What you've become?
Where and how?

Perhaps,
The great perhaps
has passed
But that doesn't mean
We shouldn't ask
The people we meet
The difference we make
It's hard to adjust
To the risks we take

But perhaps,
The great perhaps
Is now
Yes, I see it
This is true
As surely as
Our sky is blue
One step
Then another

Then another

I believe in you

Late at night
I hear your sighs
As I taste your skin of cream

Late at night
Into your eyes
I look as my heart screams

Late at night
You and I
So surreal as it seems

Late at night
You and I
It is real and meant to be

A brief moment of peace
Before losing it all
How underappreciated
Is the serenity
Before the fall

Landon Keys Mar 2022
I want to be the tears that fall from your face
The taste of salt on your lips as the journey ends
I want to be the pull of your heartstrings
The melody of restoration
I'll take solace in my ending
As healing you of your sadness

Muddled mixture
Of love and logic
Oil and water
Gone and lost it

Not the least of which
Relentless
Tirelessly through the storm

I wonder and believe,
Through melancholy of fallen leaves.
What is this to me?
The sentiment
Of finality.

In an uncharacteristic turn of events
I tripped and fell down

I was in love her
Before I hit the ground.

Such beauty in phrase
That of, "Cellar door."
But I'd argue, "Hello Lovely."
Is just that and so much more.

All The Same
Landon Keys Nov 2020
Ever so often I get the urge to write
not about fun, love, or plight
but just about things that come to mind
things that just feel right
Inside and out
we are all the same
when it boils down to it
no one is innately a bad person
We all see, feel, and hurt
We all fall, jump, and laugh
We all dance
Even if it’s just secretly in our rooms alone
without it being known
Even if we’re bad at it
more than likely we are
and that’s half of what makes it so fun.

Landon Keys Mar 2023
Every wincing moment
Through daily adversities
I find myself clawing
and fighting to succeed
Through every trial and tribulation
That bashed me to my knees
I made it to the finish
Battered and battle scarred
And just when I think I have it all together
There you are

I don't believe in God
But maybe for tonight
If I can muster the faith
It'll be alight

Pretty potted plant
Sits on my window sill
Planted by my lovely daughter
I tend to it now
Waiting for it to bloom
Hoping I can show it to her
It's very close now
In just a few more days
Just wishing I can make her proud

For a Friend
Landon Keys Jun 2022
Fears and doubts
They creep around
But in your radiance diminish
Those thoughts and worries
Let them scurry
Let this unrest finish

Thus, in your smile
And in your laughter
These are things to love
Walk with pride
And learn to see
The shimmer from the scars beloved

Believe in you
Not in them
For you're where victory lies
Do these things
and love yourself
You'll never have to say goodbye

Folly
Landon Keys Jan 2021
Unexplainable
and incapable
of certainties
in certain seas
I indeed
see you in me
while days digress
In a dim-lit departure
the depths my of soul dwell
aptly in art, sure
but when the bruises
brag and I bereave
I can't believe
What lies beneath
the brisk night breeze
and subtleties
thus I remain rattled and riveted
and never have I ever
been more livid, Kid.

When I'm blue
I am sad
When the sky is blue
I am glad
When I'm
Swimming in a big blue ocean
I couldn't be more happy.
When I mix blue
With the color red
I get purple
When I mix sadness
With happiness
I get you
I really like
The color purple.

Every day texts
Landon Keys Sep 2021
Good morning, Lovely!
How did you sleep?
I hope the night's rest
Carried the worry away

Good afternoon, Darling!
Have you eaten yet?
I read that a salad
Is best for stress these days

Good night, Beautiful!
It was a great day,
Talking to you my friend.
In the morrow
I'd love to borrow
Your time again.

In the chaotic swirling mist
Of iron raining from my life's sky,
I stand adamant
Amongst the storm,
Against the merciless roar,
And din of a dying light.
