Greenery

Eerie days and cotton clouds

fields of green and flowers.

I dream my days away, eagerly waiting for the night.

Spending restless hours

looking for the sun.

When the only thing that matters

is the fleeing darkness, giving way.

For golden drops of morning dew.

Ode to a cat

Purring, meowing.

Little ball of love.

Soft paws and twirling tail.

Little ball of love.

Futile and desperate attempts

to convey this feeling in my chest

how all that matters is a

little ball of lovely fur.

Clouds of whispers

I want to drown in the colours of your soul as

Crystallized water embellish your skin,

tiny pearls of shiver trickling down your spine.

 

Poetry Marathon poem #17

You went to sleep?
What are you doing?
This is important.
I have a busy day
of planned accidental meetings
and a long drive ahead of me.
Maybe something to look forward-
towards what?
The horizon
will always
be there,
steady
unmoving
just
so damn
far away.

i remind myself

today is the kind of day where all

i want to do is write about you-

desire again.

selfish, self-seeking desire.

i remind myself that i am complete without you.

i remind myself that i have released you into the wind.

i remind myself that i can look inside of me

and feel whole.

i remind myself that i am complete without you.

i remind myself.

i remind myself.

i remind myself.

The Gypsy Curse

Everything shimmers and floats,

In a Glastonbury caravan

Where I had my runes read for fun.

Heeding a dizzy sensation

As I entered the little room,

I sat on the little stool.

And was told my questions wanted answers,

But I couldn’t think- of whom?

 

She summoned up a terrible thing,

Lava red- adorned with bony spears on his head.

Puffing as it spoke, so rings of smoke

filled the room, and fire leapt in the glowing gloom.

 

“And what is it you’ve come to know?” He said.

“Do you desire power- over the winds that blow?

Over the moon that shines and the grasses that grow

Or do you just want to bend the minds of men?

 

Because we can make a deal, you know!”

#24!!!! We made it!!!

I gave it my all
I gave it my best
Been twenty four hours
Now I must rest
So….
Good morning
Good night
Sweet dreams
Sleep tight
