This is like one of those days
when i'd tell myself i'd sleep early
and be productive
Yet i'll find myself stretching
thinking twice
whether or not will I rise
So lazy...
I’ve come unraveled
I’ve come undone
I’ve been burned by more than just the sun
I’ve made mistakes
I’m not immune
My walking music’s out of tune
It’s as if I don’t know what to do
What it is, I want to pursue
So I dillydally, and wait my turn
I guess some people never learn
Thanks so much for your concern
But my urge is gone, set fire, burned
Extinguished for posterity
And sealed tightly with a kiss
In a hundred years
There’s not a chance
I’ll be remembered well or missed

When trees dream,
their branches drift in sky
acting like brushes to paint clouds.

They whisper calling birds to
dillydally tickling leaves
that make it laugh.

When trees dream,
they bond with wind,
and play peekaboo with inch worms
who hide in their bark.

They unroot and dance
on highways of Mother Natures grassy hair,
as fairies play flutes.

They explode with flowers
whose scents encourage
spiders to weave masterpieces.

When trees dream,
they travel into some humans sleep time
trying to send them messages
to come home to Mothers voice.
can't asleep so I thought I would write. Saw a picture by and artist named Cecilia Soprano called When trees Dream and thus this poem was born.

For the love of god, let me be ugly in peace.
Every holiday I find myself dragged by fools into the darkness of their light, being forced to smile at something that gives me little to no delight. They call me by the wrong name, treat me as the wrong gender, and force me to make THEM laugh.
Hah!
I’ve had it, I’m going back to France where I can dillydally all day and not worry about wearing pants. I’ll surround myself with cheese and chocolates, a soufflé if I may and a creme brûlée for all my pain. Dip me in honey and roast me over the fire so that I can turn a juicy gold and the red reading heart within my chest can retire. Ah, but then there will be a new light and I will be reborn yet again into another scaresome fright.
O, WOE IS ME!
SET ME FREE!
Choke me by the legs of my pants and send this insanity into the infinite abyss with one of your splendid effervescent moments of kiss.
These may just be some of my deepest desires
