Someone told me once
To think of something constant
When it got too much
To look at the moon
And marvel at its permanence
Yet, if you could leave
Falling so far out of my sky
I know nothing is constant
If not you,
Then not even the moon.
... but tomorrow
might be the midnight
of time and tracks
couldn't be found-
you will falter
and struggle for light
and be mocked
by the unsympathetic night

there's no turning back
and you will be blinded
by strange shadows
as they appear and shift
while all around is the deepest black

you will try to speak
but words will fail
they no longer belong
to you--- you will turn pale
in helplessness

it's not fancy nor a dream
neither is it exaggerated drama
you will no longer be yourself
in this phantasmagoria
The tranquility
of this morning
Feels like numbness tonight
But I still feel
your gift of love
You gave it and
didn’t take it away.
It will keep me warm,
provide reassurance.
I’ll carry its glow
within me
as I continue on.
i can't forgive

what you did

when you did

what you did

when you did

what you did

to me
no one did anything to me, i just like the word play
The sun rises;
The stars surprises;
Evening's glowing light;
Gardenias growing right.
Not really sure if this is about dreams.

I want my complexities
to dazzle my company
Make them think that this poetry
Easily flowed out of me
Like it was simple artistry
Like I don’t suffer from anxiety
Like I don’t know insecurity
Like I didn’t lie awake all of last night
feeling inadequate when I realized

This was all I was going to write
