"lullyby" poems
Came running home to write this
As I forgot my journal!
Thou shalt not walk
When you cannot write!
What begins as laughter
may end as fire.
Each line I write
is a pact with myself.
Every thought a potential poem
Every poem another facet of myself
I never let y’all slip again
And find myself in deadness.
Summoning the most violent demons
Force them into most beautiful forms
Breaking their neck
By calling their name
Boiling down my pain
Into handsome melodies.
I killed my hellspawn
With an atheist’s prayer.

Tired of being Awake and Sad, least let me sleep.

I
Lay down and watch the clouds float by,
Listen to the whispering lullyby.
As the boat rocks, you'll begin to fly.
It's a different world in my mind,
It's not a journey but a ride.
I wonder where we will be going tonight.
II
Catch a falling star with me,
Watch it all come true.
Can you see it? Can you see what I see?
The skies are clear and blue.
The world is simply spinning,
The universe is too.
Now we're out in space,
Let's see what we can do.
III
Watch the planets form a line,
So we can explore in order.
Here comes an asteroid belt,
Let hitch a ride on a rock.
Jump off and go back to earth,
Now nothing is the same.
It seems like I've created a world,
Where people scream out my name.
Fame and fortune have arrived,
And now I guess it's time
IIII
This world has become ever so bright,
And quite a bit blurry.
The sky is blue no more,
Just grey and cloudy.
A boat arrives,
It's a rough day at sea.
But I'm asking you now,
To stop listening to the melody.
Now count to three,
And go back to reality.
