#temporary poems on Hello Poetry

Vener Jun 2018

parted lips,
silent moans,
frantic kisses,
desperate cries,
whispered promises,
content smiles,

your body in my arms
your hands in mine

but

your heart
is forever
lost in time

--you were mine.

Temporary

I count all the people in my life,
And then I count all the reasons they would leave
The reasons outweighing their presence
Terrifyingly temporary.

Echoes in my mind over and over,
You are alone
And you always will be

panic by the blue glacier

life is too
fleeting
and beautiful
to hide away in
a green overgrowth
of escapism

the unease is temporary
the shaking
will wash away
like bird **** flowing down
the side of a car door
in the warm bath of
a summer
storm

but the habit
of escapism
lingers, always
outstaying its welcome
taking your leftovers
from an empty fridge
without asking

yet, the momentary aching
melts away
in the bliss of sunlight

so, breathe.
be.
give in
to the freedom
of what is fated
apart from
grinding teeth and
collapsed shoulders

it either will
or will not

so be there
here
now
in spite of everything
that could
or could not
be.

written in the midst of a panic attack at the gym, while my partner played basketball and i tried not to pass out

Temporary Sunsets

We gaze at sunsets.
Fascinated by their beauty,
but we know they fade.

a rant

i never write about the good anymore.
maybe from the fact
that something
so clearly temporary
does not deserve my words.
or maybe,
i'm just afraid to look back
at something that once was,
that might never be again.

temporary sanity

I’m ashamed
I need certain substances to keep me sane
and pills at night to feel alright

Hey, you

Hey you, yes you, the one reading this page
I would like to make a vow
At this moment, offstage
I will love you for now.

You are probably disappointed, I figure as much
But before you stop reading, please, hear me out
Forever is a long time, though I am sure you’d be touched
But please, take my hand because I love you right now beyond any doubt.

Today is the only given, leave tomorrow to chance
So in the mystery, lay your lips on mine
There is no need to leave, not at least without a second glance.
We may have not been made for each other but right now is all I need, for right now you are mine.

cigarette

what we had is like a single lit cigarette:

it gave a temporary high,

it helped me breath even if it was just for awhile;

a takeaway from stress.

it was relaxing.

but like a cigarette,

it was short lived,

temporary.

memories like ashes, falling unto the pavement as if nothing happened;

a fleeting moment of vulnerability, of apatheticness.

sadly, i’m a chainsmoker.

i know how unhealthy it is for me,

how it’ll **** me in the long run,

to keep asking for more.

but,

i yearn nothing more but to have a cigarette between my fingers.

especially yours.
