stone tied around my ankle

slacking, fleeting, immortal

Homecoming
OpenWorldView Mar 2019
Once a year I time travel
10,000 miles back
to my childhood place.

Here I am still a little boy
enjoying his mother’s food.

It’s a museum of frozen memories.
Nothing changes except the
reflections in the mirrors.

I ignore the worries about
age and illness and relish
the time with those I love.
There's no place like home.

trivial shadows
the pain of unfulfilled dreams
haunt me like a ghost

Ridiculed “Poet”
OpenWorldView Nov 2018
Hey, that doesn’t rhyme,
what a ******* waste of time.

Do I really have to read this?
I don’t care about your mental fizz.

And btw, no one writes those anymore
only lonely people who hide indoor.

Honestly, what does this actually mean?
I prefer to watch a social media stream.

So, you better stop being a fool
and we might end to ridicule.
Of course that's only one side of the picture. There's lots of positive feedback too. Especially on this site. So don't stop writing.

You
OpenWorldView Jun 2018
You
You are like
  Grieg's "Morning Mood"
played in darkness.

You are like
  a sunrise marveled upon
a mountain peak.

You are like
  a warm fireplace
after a long winter walk.

You are all that's good.

behind closed eyes

I strip away that skin,
the flesh and bones
until nothing is left,
but a single sad sob
in an empty world.

Me for You
OpenWorldView Jul 2019
unselfish, patient,
kind, loyal, understanding
and a bit crazy

Hedge

trimmed to fit in line
in someones english garden
grow nevertheless
bid your time
your chance may come
to grow free and high
