The sun
Sets and rises
For them
And nothing more
Bang. In both my ears.
Drip-Drop, Sweat in both my eyes.
Burns, against my face.
It builds inside, deep in my gut
Rapturous, *******, delightful.
Roasting me alive, torturous.
Everything burns away
People are like Molecules.
Pinging against each other.
With Every Action we take,
Ripples form around us
A smile here,
Encouragement there,
And the world becomes ever brighter
It wasn’t the wave of water that got him
It was the twenty small baby crocodiles
Carried in the wave.
With the wind blowing harshly,
I will sleep like a glutton sloth
Nothing can get past me, but the breeze
Even time will halt at the flick of my wrist.
Nothing, but cool air, I know this
Will penetrate through my concrete spirit.
I run you through my hands
You were once solid
Then you were mine
Broken down to bits and pieces
And reassembled
Into something new
Hello mother
breathing under
me
I see
you all around
comfortable, beautiful, magical, round
The cycle of life
it must be nice
for you
but for me
I must go now
The light of the moon is so bright
It blinds me.
Sometimes the day rushes past me
And before I realize it, it’s night
We recharge everything
Our cars, our phones, our gaming consoles
When the battery is low
But we won’t recharge ourselves
When our energy is drained
And nothing is left in our hearts and souls
