Composed 4/11/17
Description: While I work on a few more serious pieces, have a bit of random inspiration. Where do you find yourself working on your creative pursuits? For NaPoWriMo.
The only time I have to be alone
Is on this throne
So leave me be
As I write sweet toilet poetry
Composed 12/9/15
Description: Ah! The semester is over, which means, yes, less on my mind and more time to write… for the time being. Hopefully, this means I will push out some more poetry in the coming days. For now, here’s this.
It is different for us
And difference is a pleasant dream
When we find ourselves alone
Alone we feel no need to run
But sink-in, relax, think, and feel
Be
We are survivors
When the world around us dies
Indeed, we thrive
Independent, often confident, unafraid
Exploring
When abandoned or betrayed we
Live
When found we relinquish control
And let others in for a time yet
Retreat
Off put with insecurity
Hands clinging with poverty
Do you really crave
Separation from your own mind?
Composed 10/13/13
Description: Something short and sweet for Sunday. A thought I had last night.
I admire your caring
I really do
But you presence is infringing on my solitude
My restless thoughts
My nighttime muse
Composed 7/21/13
Description: My response to today’s Daily Prompt: Party Animals.
Some people get their sugar
From crowded rooms and cigarettes
From the vibrations in the earth
From laughs and possible regrets
They do their longing, seizing motions
Into the hours of the moon
And when they crash they grab their lifelines
Instead of drowning in their solitude
But it only takes a spoon or two
To give me a sugar rush
And in the end I take so little
I don’t mind the withdrawal much
In fact I like those moments
When my body can be cleansed
I feel a little more myself
When the sugar high ends
