cherry blossom
they arrive like guests
unannounced
uninvited
but welcome
as if they were never gone at all
soft spoken creatures
draped in pale pink
like secrets almost told
they do not bloom loudly
they arrive like guests

i saw a girl once
laughter and sunshine in her opal eyes
a twitch of a smile almost too brief
hair so unruly as if the wind had made the strands its own
a lankiness to her like branches on the limbs of a tree
My brother is 4 years older than me
And he's also 4 times better than me at most things.
School, sports, music, art,
Things I thought I was good at
He would excel in.
Two many were awake
Fall with dark coffee
keeping their eyes wide
Spring with sweet tea
Keeping their face bright
So Fall left their room
Summer’s dew tastes like peppers
Fall’s dew tastes likes mushrooms
Winter’s dew tastes like mint
Yet loved more than most
Is Spring’s special dew
I don't really know what I'm doing.
But I felt like I had to write something,
so here it is;
here is my
weak attempt at writing something
that could make somebody else feel a bit better.
Walking through the woods
I met a woman
With spring in her hair
Not flowers with colors that overwhelm
Not sunshine so bright it burns
Why did you roll your eyes
When I was stabbed
Purely for who I am
For who I love
You know I didn’t deserve that
Rain on me
Oh rain on me
I have no shower
So wash my hair
Make flowers spring from my scalp
To cover up the smell
The snow is twirling down,
dancing down to earth one
after another; it's
April, and
it seems it should be flower petals
raining down rather
than the flakes of frozen rain;
I imagine Spring is
I want to go home
but what is home, anyway
when I'm scared of my feelings because I'm not perfect so the resentment grows
resentment of myself
resentment of others
is that all I am?
A joker?
Would you call the other planets illegal?
I sure wouldn't
they're just existing in space
but I guess if thats case
they would be aliens to us
