Poems

Delayed
I enter this world
With fists curled
And eyebrows furled
During this life
I dodge the knife
Like a noble knight
Of a modern plight
The task from above
Orders ask for love
But push and shove
Cause awkward hugs
My wish is bliss
But fists are dished
And my only kiss
Is the one I missed
Time keeps dwindling
Like burning kindling
That’s life riddling
My bullet train
Skull of shame
Full of pain
Bullish brain
Bulls through lanes
With road rage
Until old age
Is my cold cage
A piercing dog whistle
Shoots like a thought missile
Through the bog thistle
Signaling my dismissal
Through the trees
I see the forest freeze
And the lifeless bees
Pile into a sea
I’m sincerely done
With their imperium
Tired of hearing them
Through my delirium
I crash and burn
Like an ashen bird
With no rebirth
I slip away
Into a grave
Where I’ll stay
Can’t press replay
On a lifetime delayed
