Dark Dream May 2021
Oh! Sweet words
Entice me to come out
Sneak in my mind
Then start to Shout

was a little nudge
to welcome me back
thought I was Safe
from a whispered attack

And though it was felt
'Twas a Small time
Or just enough
For this one tiny rhyme
Dark Dream May 2021
exploring without shame
giving to each other
judgement is gone
no apathetic stoicism
let’s see the beauty
in this sanctuary
here is my peace
the nag of You’re A Failure
it disappears
do you care about my soul
do you see
the sadness and strength
in my eyes
in me
do you want to know more
the Dark
the light
the SilLy
not afraid of your feelings
your passion
it seeps through your eyes
and I want to
Capture it
Hold it
Savor it
embrace the dichotomy
of passion and control
erupting with life
fulfilling
joyful life
Dark Dream May 2021
I noticed
That you didn’t answer
Or when
You didn’t say goodbye
That last time
You texted first
The first time
You missed hello
I noticed
Dark Dream May 2021
Thinking about balance
What goes up
Must come down
Whatever you put into something
Should equal what comes out
Maybe it looks different
But it should be a give and take
Or a push pull
From both sides
I work then I get money
You text me then I text you
I scratch your back and you scratch mine
It’s not about keeping track
It’s about wanting to give
And the other side wants to give too
After many times of giving
And the other side just taking
Makes you wonder
if they really wanted
that gift
So you stop
They say nothing
And that’s the beginning of the end
Dark Dream May 2021
Patterns pleasers and pomp
Got my rockets in a romp
Going down the street
With beautiful feet
Never stopping for a comp

Givers grumblers and glib
Doing nothing for a fib
Trample down
A growing crown
Until faith becomes your bib

Tokens takers and taunts
Throwing insults for a jaunt
Always around
But not a sound
When the results return to daunt

Buyers builders and bums
Sometimes are best chums
Though when in doubt
They throw ‘em out
So all become too numb

Flexers fixers and friends
Give advice to make amends
But they can forget
And sometimes jet
Until the time of some pretends
Dark Dream May 2021
To err
Or blunder
In ways
Of thunder

To *****
Or fake
It blows
The snake

So bogus
To bust
Or focus
In lust
