Dear Diary;
I think I've figured out
why I enjoy staying up so late.
It's 2:44 am
and the world is quiet.
No one expects anything from me
nor do I expect anything from anyone.
It's just me
and the silence.

The Sharpest Knife

The Voyage
Mitch Prax Oct 2020
The nights
are growing darker
and the waves
are getting rougher
Surrounded by
darkness and disarray,
I make my haven
in this boat built for two.
This love is an ocean
beneath a sky of uncertainty-
it consumes us night after night.
But, together,
we take this voyage-
just me and you.

Like Lavender
Mitch Prax Oct 2020
Like lavender,
this world is a brighter place
because of your beauty
and your grace.
Like lavender,
there is something about you,

that gets me through.
Like lavender,
you have a scent so divine,
and I have been blessed
to call it mine.

Crimson Sunset

We sat there in silence,

Let it cleanse us of our

Tonight is about us, dear,
nothing else is real-
let time stand still.
