Poetry

Sailing in the rain

moonlit sky in the dark
overcast shadows

a world of shards

broken

for the ones we love

promises mix with the impurity of dreams

we wish we could have

I’ve started looking forward to the little things a little more 

Than I look forward to next year

Because it feels like next year is uncertain.

I’m excited to eat peanut butter toast in the car before skiing,

I'm

the concert kind of sick

just-one-more-day-of-health

feeling-the-sneeze-coming sick

sniffles and tissues and begrudging resignment

but if I can just make it

one

He went out with her last month,

something I will have to get used to,

the glances they'll pass,

and the shadows that will dance at night when there is no one around to watch.

She gave him a nickname,

Have you ever seen dozens of roses?

A field perhaps

Covered in red beauty

Have you ever tried walking through dozens of roses?

Your fingertips perhaps

Covered in red blood

From afar roses are gorgeous

The light rises and

The darkness, it disappears

Love enters, hate leaves

i drink chamomile in the evenings

vanilla and honey 

forever sweetening

so as the taste travels

and my mother stops and leave

i stick to my chamomile

my evening retrieve 

in the mornings i drink earl grey

warm and darkening

as the weather today

so as i'm forced to close doors

and the dog and cat quarrel

i stick to my earl grey

my morning formal 

stardust in rivers 

oceans and streams 

d0wn from the night sky 

and then to you and me

but the label spalled on

wouldn't dare to make you yawn

with the work put in

There will always be dust

That is one thing that never changes

Dust at the beginning of the universe 

Dust at the end

Even though I know most things

If everything is different, then everything's the same.

Have you ever considered the money we spend on mascara?

The thoughts we spend on our outside

I don’t want them to see that pimple there

Or I hate my color hair
