Hello Winter
Hello Winter,
I see you through the light
peaking through my curtains.
Your white blankets every living thing.
But Winter,
When will you comfort me,
Wrap me up like a present,
-
i'll stay forever
Every day, I sit and stare
at you talking about what others consider nonsense.
I'd call you a wordsmith,
Staged-like words flowing off the tip of your tongue.
I hunch in the corner of the group,
-
An Acrostic
I came to sit by you everyday,
Listening to your laugh,
Imagining what it'd be like if we were friends,
Knowing you don't feel the same.
-
time and time again
my heart was ripped apart in seconds
and it only took a few hours to be stitched up again.
those stitches won't stay
just like I know you won't.
you leave the conversations like deer,
-
the key to me
my heart is locked,
and i'm keeping it for you.
the chain wrapped around it
still remains from the last time
it shattered.
i build up my mountains,
and my defenses in my mind.
-
chosen one
I want my destiny
Given in my hand like a trophy.
I want to know what I'm made for,
Right now, I feel empty.
Everyone else has their purpose,
And they just seem to fit.

by the victors
Revolutions are bathed in blood,
In death, betrayals, and cruelty.
Yet, we often associate them with freedom,
The oppressed rising against the oppressors.

daisies
You trace the ridges of the flower.
The sole daisy in this field.
A dot of yellow against a vibrant green.
Your toes burrow in the dirt.
The soil covering your feet.

nothing
You hear it offhand,
A whispered word floating to your ears,
It’s a falsity, preposterous, a rumor,
Of course it’s not true,
But even still,
-
A Sestina
Somewhere in the summer sun,
Where dandelions dance and sing
Along with the bluebird’s lonesome cry,
Alone, you’ll find me, lying there
Between the grass seed and maple leaves,

Dew-drop
In a dew-drop, a little world exists
A place turned blue and silver by the light
That lingers well beyond the morning mist.
In a dew-drop, a little world exists
