To Forget
He drinks to forget
That he is ashamed.
Ashamed of drinking
So he can forget.
He drinks to forget
That he is ashamed.
Ashamed of drinking
So he can forget.
The copper coin flies through the open sky
Its two faces hold fate in its hands
As it descends towards the ground, breath is held
No one dares disturb true fate.
It meets the ground with a final fall
the lifting of a tender brush
dipping it in a swirl of gold
painting the lush scene
with fine flecks of rose gold;
the love of a tender soul
A blank canvas,
Not a scratch to see,
Not even white
Just
Nothingness.
But then
One day
Warm darkness,
Shadowed on
My honey skin,
Hooded
Grey arrows
In the dark halo
Of my chocolate
Golden tousled hair
Like grain;
Reminds me
Of a god;
That is why you are
Charming,
But not quite
Trustable
It's endless,
The loop of love.
I fall into it once,
And it feels like I'll never escape.
It's like I'm tied to myself,
Suffocating in thousands of knots,
Tied by you.
I love the earth,
The trees,
The plants,
The life.
I love the earth,
The way the bugs buzz
The way the birds chirp,
The way the frogs croak.
I love the earth,
Looking to the future, not to the past.
A wait of everlast.
The past is in the past,
The future waiting to pass.
I’m looking for the tomorrow,
Sweet, yet sour still
Their place never filled
The thought can make one sick
And make one sad still yet
How miserable it is
The almond tree blooms in the spring,
A promise of new life.
The air is filled with the scent of nature,
And the sound of birdsong.
A cat naps in the sun,
Strong and sweet.
Beautiful and neat.
Supportive and kind.
Who helps me keep my mind.
My very best friend;
Turns dark days bright.
Yet I worry;
They may be losing the fight.
