It is in your head
Smaller than a football
Only as smart as you are
Collecting all your thoughts that you have brought
A storage locker not a thought blocker
An action is a thought that you have been taught
So take some advice to enter paradise
Always moving so you’re not losing
Super stuffed storage
Fuller than a spigot of endless water
Bam
Crash
Oh man we have a jam
Take a break for goodness sake
Your brain is a main
An information station
A database on top of one's face
A brain is a chain
Everything is connected
So it can be erected
This is a brain full of veins that make you sane
A whooshing sound above
A shining mountaintop
A broad-winged shadow
Passes over the glittering snow
Head feathers
As white as the small snowberry
Wing feathers
The color of dark soil
The eagle glides
More efficiently than any
Trivial machine built by man
Fueled by the hares in the snow
Fawns in the grass
And the wind of the peaks
Majestically soaring
Over the land
What does the eagle witness
Way up high?
Many good and evil deeds
The chopping of trees
The steep descent of the waterfall
What does the eagle see?
If everyone cared
And nobody lied,
If the people shared
with their hearts full of pride,
If the whole world smiled
and wiped away their tears,
Euphoria would disappear-
From yesterday’s doubts
To today’s new route,
In everywhere there lingers sorrow.
The knowledge we hold
Is far greater than gold,
Will brighten today and tomorrow.
The dejected eyes
Of the cold blue skies,
Sees more than posterity’s seer.
But when days are rough
And the times become tough,
Home will always be near.
Do not ask me to forgive you after your words have cut a hole in my heart. Do not beg me to forget after your eyes stole the smile from my face. Do not try to take back my love after you have snatched away my pride.
Bloom
Remember when
You forgot to water the flowers?
Remember when
You wanted to throw them out
Start fresh?
You wanted to pull them out,
Root
By root
But you knew
How stressful it is to start new
And how beautiful they’d bloom
If it wasn’t for you
But why would you keep them?
Lifeless
Reminders of your failure and incompetence
It’s hard to bring the life back once it’s gone
But
You kept them
You nursed them back to health
You never forgot
And to this day
They wave in the wind
Thanking you
Just like those flowers,
There are people
In need of watering
Yet
We walk past them
Looking back in shame
Too scared to reach out
Imagine how great it would be
If you stopped and helped?
Imagine how beautiful
Imagine how pure
Reaching out and being their light
Watering them,
As they water you
Just imagine
How beautiful you both would
Bloom
Christmas lights shimmer
Thoughts circle around my head
My heart does not close
These fingers
Linger
Not surprising
Smizing
With these eyes and
Cries and
Pain
That just won’t go away
Or fray
Like days
That pass and pay
The price.
Alright, alright
I get it get it
These things happen
Don’t you fret it
But I have slight indignation
At this conversation
I am losing patience
Can’t I get my rage out
Scream and effortlessly shout
Take my life a different route
Fear is taking over now
Riding and trying me
Trying to erase me
Overtake me
Decimate me
And degrade me
This is crazy
I don’t wanna be erased
I don’t wanna be a slate
That is empty but irate
And soon there will be a time
That tries
And makes me cry
And ruins all my rhymes
Sublime
The crime
That gives me terrors day and night
And puts me in eternal fright
Raindrops pleasantly prancing along leaves.
Watercress dancing daintily in the creek.
A deer’s neck brushing blissfully on a tree.
The sun’s rising, pools of light spill upon my sight,
Tones of red on green appear so effortlessly
Nature’s beauty has awaken and so have I,
To observe the environment so precisely,
And hope the day slowly passes by.
It smells like construction-
but it’s supposed to smell like the trees fresh and crisp air, like just after a rainstorm, like the first taste of cold crackling ice water at one am when you’re throat is so dry you can barely breathe-
Breathe.
I breathe in the smell of construction.
It smells like a mix of wood flakes and arsenic which makes my stomach sick-
Sick.
when i feel sick i go to the trees. I lay my head down and rest my eyes and
nature absorbs all of my thoughts and consciousness
and when i wake i no longer have that burning headache.
As i leave i whisper to the trees a soft thank you. They respond only in the form of oxygen and remind me to breathe-
Breathe.
I breathe in the smell of the trees fresh and crisp air like just after a rainstorm-
a cool drop hits my head,
And a cool breeze tickles my nose.
The sun seems to dissolve and dark clouds roll over my head-
A sudden drop.
Then another And another And another
Each one feels like that same first sip
of something you need so badly,
that first taste that lets you finally,
breathe.
