Too much love for
All of humanity
Marriage takes precedence
Above other matters
Related, but even with him,
Alone is how she feels.

Related, but even with him,
Alone is how she feels.
NaPoWriMo prompt for day 24
Self-portrait poem
Chirping perching sing me ย song
Birds singing through the dusk and dawn
Show them singing is never wrong
Chirping! Perching! … Sing me a song!
Just keep on singing all day long
‘Til beauty has overcome brawn
Chirping… Perching… Sing me a song
Birds, singing through the dusk… and dawn.
NaPoWriMo prompt for day 23
Not everyone
Appreciates
The world
Under our feet.
Regardless,
Everyone should.
Happy Earth Day! ๐
An owl
Flies upwind
To catch the elusive
Ocean on it’s strong wings
Where nothing but a ghost
Of salt from the waves will remain.
Day 20 of NaPoWriMo. I fell a little bit behind this weekend, but I’m going to continue with the challenge because I enjoy the prompts. I made it 19 consecutive days in NaPoWriMo!
Broken bones and body
Along with a soul
All much too old
For the vessel
That holds them.
F-22
Streamlined like a Boeing
With no engine.
Crawl down to the floor
And lie bare
For men will come growling frighteningly-
One comes carrying fur
For the raid, or a scary sound.
(Once, I dealt hell-
Problems rose anew and growing-
No dreams of diamonds for me).
The duty is mine and mine alone
(With or without you)
I may sing as I run for the harbor.
Many tongues are slammed…
And many of his men owe a dozen
For drinking her foolish.
My home, a martyr.
Many yell for it, many chant
‘Til the festival charade grows
The fairground militia
Will carry attention and law
While guests will fall clutching a cigarette.
If you dream a dream of laughter
With heavy giggles falling from the sky
You will wake from bed soon after
Where peacefully sleeping bodies will lie.
If you dream a dream full of tears
Spilling from your eyes like blood from a wound
You will wake alone with your fears
Forever by yourself, forever doomed.
With my double barreled gun
I rule
Killing as I please
Or deem necessary.
Don’t underestimate
The power that I hold
For soon the streets will run red
With the blood of my foes.
There are many things I’d like to say to you
The fact that I was lying
To your face
For the majority of my life
That I loved you
And hated you
Equally and simultaneously
That I wished you were more
Than the man you thought you were
And would become the man you always dreamed of
And I want to
Be honest with you
For the first time in my life
Tell you that I care
About every hurtful word
You threw my way
And I would
Change the past
To change the future
And make the present right
But I can’t
Because
You’re
Not
Here.
