Crazy

I am not crazy.
Not to the naked eye.
On the inside however,
my humaness shines.

Yes I am crazy.
Revealing it only to you.
My love, we love to argue,
but I admit that you always knew...

The most sane thing I've done,
is be crazy about you.

A child, too scared to face the world,
Crafted a man brighter than the sun.
The man, with charm, spoke in his stead,
To ease the fears that had begun.

But still, the child felt bitter pain,
So he forged one strong, too firm to yield—
A figure carved in stone's embrace,
To bear the wounds that would not heal.

The child longed for love, yet feared its touch,
So he shaped a heartless, sharpened gaze—
A sentinel to block the flood
Of emotions veiled in shadowed haze.

Still lonely, the child wove a friend,
So warm, the heavens burned with spite.
This friend, with stories soft and sweet,
Held his hand through every night.

But from mortals came a threat too great,
So a guardian, unbeaten, rose—
A force to rival heaven's gates,
To shield the child from worldly foes.

Then fate itself grew envious,
And twisted threads with vicious spite.
Thus, another form took shape—
A being stronger than the light.

The heavens roared in angered storms,
And hell's deep flames began to swell,
Yet the being simply cast a glance,
Then took the throne to silence hell.

With power beyond the gods’ own reign,
It severed fate’s eternal string,
And closed its eyes upon the throne,
To wait in stillness till the right time came.

Dark waters claim the lily pads,
Delicate greens shatter, blacken, and sink—
Deeper, deeper into shadows they wade,
To be alive in their mortality.
As cold twilight wraps them in tender embrace,
A mortal heart cannot love what cannot decay;
To love, to lose—such fleeting beauty lies.

-Sonja Kettunen (@sojafoxpoetry)
Wrote this today while gazing at lily pads. :)

One wish

and if the world
could grant me one wish
I would wish upon the world
that you are as obsessed
with me as i am you

The boy stood on the burning deck
He'd never seen the like
His vintage radio refused to work
Because of melted Bakelite.

The echo of the lie
Carries on through time

Lie upon lie in time
- Stain

The filthy froth
The couplet wrought
- staining

Froth the filthy foam

Grief on grief
It is heaped
- stained

Grief, O, grief carried on

Stood on
Road of my life split
in two ways
Stopped and amazed

Left less travelled
In fear to get a longer way

But in the cries of most travelled
I lost my ways
My poetry and prose is coming back
Way hey
It’s raining hard I need a Mack
Way hey
It’s gone so dark it’s turning black
Way hey
If it keeps on raining I’ll start to quack
Way hey!
At 40 life began
Went surfing and bought a supra sports car
The fast and furious one
At 45 I remarried a wonderful man
Still together like birds of a feather
At 50 we stayed at Rick Steins , I’m a fan
At 55 I bought a bungalow, yeh I know!
At 60 we had a party to celebrate
To get this far and not be late
At 65 I’m still alive,
I am !
