Arrogant Assimilation

Arrogance

Actualizing annoyance

Admiration

Absent and abandoned

Adolescence: adhered

Apathetic assimilation

Authorizes an appearance

And an abolished affair.

Recipe for Disaster

One mistake that could have been prevented

But not easily fixed.

Stir until the bumps begin to smooth out.

Add a dash or glimmer of hope to taste;

Enough that it can still be crushed

But not enough to overpower.

Let sit until it ferments

And spreads

Sinking into the crevices in your brain

Leaving you with nothing

But an aftertaste

Of what could have been.

 

Rainy Day

The morning was met with cold

And darkness, not rays of gold

For the sun disappeared for lack of being bold

And left the sky empty because of the cold.

 

The sky has begun to turn a deep gray

Waiting for the blessing of the day

And for all the people to say “Dear Rain, go away.”

And fill the town with color instead of just gray.

 

Rain is harshly falling down

Every where you may look, the ground

Is wet through and through and all around

And will leave the wilderness fruitful from the rain that’s falling down.

From One To The Next

A family so complete

Every member an active participant

Of holding love in their arms

And virus-like happiness in their eyes

Contagious… spreading

To your own heart within minutes

And turns your recently icy demeanor

From the frost burns

Of your former father

To an overwhelming boil

As passion flares

And warms you throughout.

Vacant

She approaches the vacant bed

With caution

And reflects

On all of the late nights

The requests

For him to crawl in next to her

And wrap his arms around her

A warmth that only he could provide

He did this to himself

She thinks

As she climbs inside

Pulls the freshly laundered sheets up to her neck

Where they lie

With a cold but comforting touch

I’m here for you

As she creates her linen cocoon

And drifts to sleep

Without him.

Young Love

A girl

That dreamed of men

Strong enough to support her

Fell in love with a boy

That needed to be uplifted

To feel loved.

 

A boy

Who never wanted to grow up

Or stop having fun

Fell in love with a girl

Who grew up much too fast

And never looked back at her youth.

 

A girl and a boy

Met and fell in love

And, together,

They were everything

They ever needed.
