"jetplane" poems
Inspired by: Toilet Tisha by OutKast
Spaced out
Brain out
In space
Checkin stardust
My timewaste is
Just a journey to the center of my soul
With the far reaches as my goal
And the cold wastes as my place of solace
Feelin soulless
Pacin in my brain
Shy away from sane
My plane doesn't fly
It hydroplanes on to other planes of existance
With no assistance
Sliding on a rainy runway
It's a jetplane with a runaway
Who close his mouth
When he's got the most to say
But not enough hope to pray
He implodes
A black hole
That warps him
Warms him
Like frostbite
Deadeyed all night
But he's never felt more alive
Lost in the thoughts of another life
Based barely in reality
Impressionism over realism
Is it really healin him or killin him?
That's the question of the hour
Sittin in the head till it spoils
Goin sour
Green eggs and ham
With a side of sacrificial lamb
And extra power
Now imagination junkie's
Feelin weak as his soul slowly
Drifts back
Drips back
In to his irises
To the land of the living
While sipping with Osirises
Feeling riotous
While his lips split
Dry with the taint
Of the fountain of youth
Sittin there rotting away
Without use
Tryna meditate without medication
Racing to slow down
Before the "Why?" in the road
Cuz once he gets there
He knows
He'll never know

It’s quite surprising how people change
How people grow
How people learn
How people find who they really are
People change in the speed of a jetplane
You wake up in the byproduct
but never get to see the process
A ballerina that was once wimp
Walks into the coffee shop one busy afternoon
Those who never even looked at her
Would die to befriend the brand new her
People change without them noticing
People change when they find the purpose of living
People change without a warning
People would bloom
but others would rather wither
Some would choose to be the fruit
While others would rather live as the root
People change in years
In months
and even in days
People come
People go
And before you know it
You, yourself have already changed.

tell me, how fast
can your jetplane fly,
because i am drowning
and i don’t know where
or why
and lungs in a chest
cannot go more than
three minutes
without air

Some lyrics stay with you,
they stick to your memory
like glue,
if you only knew.
I'm leaving on a jetplane soon
& I'm not sure when I'll be back,
'cause the melody's sticking
this time for good
I think,
I'm hooked on a feeling.

I hate to see you go,
so far away.
tonight's our last night
for a month
and my heart has been dreading
the fact that I know
I won't sleep.
wait,
please,
in this
moment
please.
just wait,
let me breathe you in
let me hold you
let me bask in the light
of your smile
your laugh.
the closer I get
to your heart
the more it hurts
the farther you are.
but no distance
can successfully demolish
what I hold in my heart for you
and no distance
can touch how much
I care for you.
I will yearn for you
until we meet again
but you must vow
to be safe
and come home.
please come home to me.
