Machines
Mitch Prax Jun 23
We are
problem-solving machines,
so naturally, in the absence
of real problems,
we cannot help but
create our own problems.
Perhaps we will never
be free of problems,
whether real or imaginary.

The Cycle of Love
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
No love is ever lost
no matter how wasted it may feel.
The love will return to you
in time, through healing,
in all sorts of ways.
Love cannot be measured-
it cannot be lost nor expended.  
Love surrounds us every day
in all of its abundance and awe.
Love is a miracle that will always pull us through
over and over again.
So never regret the love you give to anyone,
it will always return in its abundance
for you to share again and thus
the cycle of love
continues.

Fortified
Mitch Prax Jun 2021
My heart

You taught me lessons
the hard way and
I am eternally
grateful and

Oh, the Memories
Mitch Prax Aug 7
Oh, the memories
we will share forever.
The unforgettable tales
we will tell of our
love and anarchy.
Our finite time made
for infinite stories and
we shall share them
for the rest of
our lives.

Winter
Mitch Prax Jan 25
Winter is hard
when you have so
much love and you are not
here to receive it.
Nothing illuminates the darkness,
nothing warms the coldness and
nothing thaws the ice from
this heart when you are
not here as my sun.

Myself
Mitch Prax Oct 2024
When was the last

Maybe when I was young

But those memories are
as distant to the present
as I am to myself now.

Inevitable
Mitch Prax Jan 24
Grief is
inevitable.
Everyone will pass-
they will turn to memories
and all you can do to prepare
is make sure you made an
abundance of them for
that inevitable day.

Diary Excerpts #80
Mitch Prax Sep 12
I live through moments
I know will be nostalgic
as they are happening.
There are some moments
where instead of enjoying them,
I am already sad that they will end,
never to experience again.
Glee and gloom at the same time-
nostalgia forms before the
moment has even passed.

The Magic Sunflowers
Mitch Prax Oct 2021
You wove magic
with tenderness and love
that you braided in my skin
and made the sunflowers sing
with your laughter alone.
I painted your beauty
into those very sunflowers
that I maintain to this day.
I plucked the brightest one I could find
and keep it on my bedside table.
That way it reminds me of you
from the moment I wake to
the moment I sleep.
I think I'm going to plant some more sunflowers
in hopes that their presence will embrace
my home the way your warmth
embraced my home
so very long ago.

Our Only Photo
Mitch Prax Sep 2021
To this day,
it still saddens me that
our only photo was upon
the London Bridge.
Don't get me wrong,
it's a spectacular shot but
it doesn't give justice to
what we were or
what would have been.

Why?
Mitch Prax Jun 2024

Lost
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
Somewhere down the line
you lost yourself.
Was I to blame?
I'm not sure,
but I did ignore the signs
and that's on me.
Both of us thought you
would never get lost and now
I just want to bring back
who you once were.

I am a Storm
Mitch Prax Apr 2022
I am a storm-
a trail of destruction
that follows me each day.
I am the thunder,

I am the black clouds-
I am my own black hole

escape.

Why do I wake up?
It was always you.
Knowing that I share the
same moon that kisses your

And knowing that you bless
my dreams each night is
all the reason I need to
rest my weary soul.
It was always you.

Dear diary;
Tonight,
I will once again
return to the shadows,

to nothingness.
Oh, the joy of losing myself
in the darkness of space and time,
the joy of being no one and nothing
for another night.

Into the Unknown
Mitch Prax Aug 7
It was with you
where I found the courage
to leave this world,
to branch out into the unknown.
And so you took my hand
and we blasted off
into the cosmos and found
countless worlds and wonder.
In them, I found you,
I found a home,
and I never
looked back.

thinking about how she'll spend

Meanwhile, I'm thinking of how I
can stay just a little bit longer.
