in clouds i ponder in oft
the fluff so precise
wondrous but frowns
for I only beseech them in dice
If i'm feeling down
I see the colors of the sky
If i'm up, to them I wave goodbye.

To them, they go unnoticed
not a care in the world
Unless I'm touched by a hateful lotus
in that case the natural art unwhirls
Orange- blue- white A phone click beholds
then saved in my album labeled
' cloudy days of old'
Simon B Dec 2020
I’d like to jot a historic note
One of truths and one where facts remote
Find the facts; here’s your game
One is true and the other defames

I’m an elephant at a zoo
On display, with something to prove
Fake and force fed to stay alive
Forced and caged I’d rather die
I’m an elephant at a zoo
With a trunk full of water
Blowing straight crap out my mouth,
Not fit to be a father
Not actually that unique
And more of a bother
Not ready for life I’d like to be out
But used to being sheltered
Owned by someone but feel headstrong
I’m a big strong mammal with weak wavelengths
Brains a peanut and heads down ashamed
If life’s a zoo then I’m on the main stage

I’m a free gazelle
Headlights a wonder
Ankles are weak from birth after mother
spotted and brown my consciousness is splattered
I’m free to be me yet shot at the same
There’s perks to free range
But rents like open season
Going to be broke by august
Hit my heart without a fine given or any reason
I don’t know what those lights are and why do they move quickly?
Why am I on a hood? Where am I going?
What is my purpose what’s this mantle they speak of?
My heads now on a rack and my eyeballs are marble
I can’t see my pain or feel my legs
But atleast I chose this route and tried to cross that street
Instead of being spoon fed;  lesson learned I suppose
Life’s like a cage I’d rather be out then in a box decomposed

The conflict of knowing for a surety
But not being told.
She's bested by her dubitable  insecurities
and I grow weary and old.
No, I'm not making this furiously
I'm actually quite whole!
It's just curiosity kills
And I'm a full-on cat.
will she say it -?
will she unfold-?
Will she proclaim a story
that's yet to be told?
Will I write a ballad of joy, instead  verses of cold?
The world may never know
except for me, deep inside my soul

but its your concourse waves of hair that drive me mad

Its your smiles and embrace that fries my brain

your soft lips as they speak; my mind puts words onto them

Its your style those yellow shoe converses

its the distance that really pulls my hairs out their pores

Its my constant pouring out and dying from the inside

Its the fact you are just right there. But i cant see the heart you have for me that you hide.

I may be silly but this all rings true. I may be silly,

but just for you.
Idk :)
Simon B May 2017
Let's start a conversation
About our past first
Then our current situation
Make haste be fast
I can't hold this face for long
The last time I did
You were already gone
I wanna talk, i promise i won't flirt
We can talk about you
Is that a new skirt?
Your hairs tucked nice
Can I buy you a purse?
I lied about my feelings
I still love you but you shouldn't see me.
I wanna talk but my deep stuff comes out too freely
Simon B Aug 2017
drop the keys on the table.
but remember my soul is unlocked
I thought id be able to say goodbye.
But keep in mind on how we frolicked.
I'm stable, but you swept me off my feet.
*******. How far the distance, how many streets.
My own errand is also my defeat.
Shall I move to you? and escape my current estate?
Can we love in another place?
Simon B May 2017
Id prefer you stay lonely.
After I leave, don't have company.
Sit as one in regret, rueing my existence.
I'll never come back; you have my word.
And yet your love persists.
Always wondering what could've been.
But ignoring what was there
It was malignant.
I never felt less happy but I could never tell you
Because we're still alike, I feel you.
Simon B May 2017
There's lines of poemcaine
Being snorted right now.
"Get it off the streets" said a crowd
"Can I get some Slam" said A Pal
I have to go to rehab, my foul friends
Are rhyming to the next life.
One love darling please pass me
-My limmericks knife-
Take the edge off, write a poem there will be no more strife.
"Try this stuff it will be alright"
One attempt of a strain that I call "lone"
Had me hooked.
It was the end of the old me but I got
Many lines in draft. Stay tuned for that.

A stroke of luck
A writ of diligitis
I'm in love,
But with my conscience as my witness.
A plea for your heart
but evasion from your inner convictions

i must depart and i must end this
a brush of chance and im forgiven
a note of love and i'm livid
i can't tell you how much i've invested in you
because it's borderline illicit
Simon B Aug 2017
To whom it may concern,
Which is always you.
Worry about winning something else,
Because you got no clue!
My mystic rhymes
Bars catching like the flu
Wind blowing
Who ever knew?
Black plague was the rats
"Bite me"? Thats how the disease grew.
And now back to topic
Glory, you can never stop this
My heart, my schemes, my lines
I'm sure after this is over
A few tissues will do you fine
Back to back
Simon B Jan 2021
The obsession is
finding purpose in mundane
We keep searching on
have you found it?
Simon B Aug 2017
She fell all over
My guilty concious,
My empty shell.
She tripped,
Into loves caucus
And She's voting well.
If i didn't admire her,
I wouldnt have fought like hell.
But here we are now,
And it's
Real real swell
Fire back
Simon B Sep 2017
How could you be blind?
We made contact, and your pupils danced.
A language i couldn't find but understand.
A symphony roared in my head as we talked and blinked
I knew and thought the same things that you had winked to me
Finally an eye to eye and not just from my family
Simon B May 2017
I hold these truths to be self evident
I love she who is always prevalently in my life
She's in my thoughts all over my mind
Widespread wild shrunk into one cranium.
This is why I can't contain any of them.
I'm addicted to you, fren.
I can't tell you I love you, but I did just then
9 hours 4 minutes and 30 seconds. When.
Time flies when the feelings are reckless.
My minds straight but my heart feels hectic
In love like never before what the heck man.
It's perfect it's a symphony neglected
We hear the music but keep it on the low
but the instruments remain respected.
I feel higher than ever in the passenger seat,
listening to ABBA or other more obscure beats.
Going to burger king where we dipped both our feets
in the idea of love, where you first kissed me.
Then our chicken nuggets, so saucy. bb.
After hanging by the streams my brain was fried-
my thoughts flossing
Felt safe because I remember that you never lost me.
Poem that once meant something to me
Simon B Oct 2020
the nurse girl left me
she's not going to marry
I say told you so
Simon B Jul 2022
Line dial phone rings the past
what was, what is, and what lasts
The fast, the gracious and the present
Year after year, tone after tone
Toll free collecting
The connection between me and myself
Becoming ever so inconsistent.
“What man am I?” I ask.
“I don’t know “says me on the receiving side
I am a different person, same body, same tone
I am a old soul lurking, same mind, same goals.
What man am I?
When you put change in the public phone do you hear the same man breathing on the other end?
Simon B Jul 2017
You're the cement on which I walk
and the language that I talk.
You're the chalk in the dark tunnels
and the door on which I knock.
You're my summer breeze
and my winter solstice.
You're the smile on my face
and my depression soulless.
You're an empty canvas
And I'm A broken paintbrush
You're waves crashing against the shore
and I'm an impatient surfer real bored.
You couldn't care less
and I sacrificed more.
I lost three loves to you
and I love you squared.
I love you, and it's not fair
And you're my everything anywhere.

— The End —
