Shipwreck
Mitch Prax Mar 2020
When your ship
came crashing back to shore
I knew the ocean didn’t love us
anymore.

Hyades
Mitch Prax Mar 2020
you move like rain,
you move like the storm.
Sometimes soft,
sometimes heavy.
You end my droughts,
leaving a rainbow,
to clear my doubts,
in sun or in snow.

Kisses for you
for lunch and

Idea of You
Mitch Prax Mar 2020
Maybe
I was in love
with the idea of
who you could have been
more than who
you really are.

Soldier
Mitch Prax Mar 2020

I am the soldier

Two Eyes, Two Planets
Mitch Prax Mar 2020
Chocolate eyes,
two distant planets
that hold a mystery more mystifying
than the furthest reaches of our galaxy.
My heart longs to
make the voyage
and make a home in your orbit,
but for now,
home is out of reach.

Moonstruck
Mitch Prax Mar 2020
My fair lady,
when you are ready
to fly to the moon,
I promise
to never let you
out of my
orbit.

Pandemica
Mitch Prax Mar 2020
We live in
troubled times,
where leaders fail
and pandemics prevail.
Mass hysteria is
the only game in town-
society's going down
because we cannot hear,
and we cannot think
over the turmoil
spreading across
our soil.

Love Letter

This poem

that's been sealed with hope
and sent with the wish
that all my little words
find their way

They Linger
Mitch Prax Mar 2020
I don’t like

No matter how many lies
I tell myself,
I still can't shake
these lingering
feelings.

Diary Excerpts #22

Dear diary;
I ate a whole
wheel of cheese
for dinner tonight.
Regret nothing about this-
at least, not yet.

If You Were a Flower
Mitch Prax Mar 2020
if you were
a flower
then maybe I’d learn
to garden.
How glorious it would be
to spend my days getting
your love underneath
my fingernails
and watching euphoria bloom?

Overflowing
Mitch Prax Mar 2020
You keep pouring sorrow
into my glass that is
already full.
You pour
and you pour,
until it overflows,
and then you pour
some more.

It's Not Enough
Mitch Prax Mar 2020
One soul

contain all

sorrow.

Diary Excerpts #21

Dear diary;
my back aches

from a distant life
I'd rather forget.

Autumn Blues

The skies are

I've got the
Autumn blues

The Day the Music Died
Mitch Prax Mar 2020
A dismal duet-
more like a sad solo
of two hearts
breaking in harmony.
Their tone is flat and
the lyrics don't rhyme.
The melody has gone
astray and the
music dies.

Short Poems

Diary Excerpts #19
Mitch Prax Feb 2020
Dear diary;
Today was
a good day to die.
But worry not,
ready or not,
I'm going to
live young
and die fast.
Mitch Prax Feb 2020
I’m sorry
that you can't
see her face
without seeing my face.
I hate that you ruined
all of our favorite songs-
just one note and I
am at your mercy.
But in the end,
I hope this will not destroy me,
well, me at least,
not because the ending torments me,
but because the memories don't.
No, quite the opposite.

Dear diary;

She forgot how to shine in

We grew close-
a bittersweet bond

was fading
away.

Running In Circles
Mitch Prax Feb 2020
There was I time,
long ago,
when I could sleep
in peace-
in love.
I didn't need to dream
when you were in my arms-
my dreams could not compare to
the way I could close my eyes
and wake up to the scent of you.
But gone are those days,
and I am left with the memory.
Now, I find my thoughts
running in circles,
always back
to you.
