so...I typed some stuff

Dissolve drops into a puddle

I'm alive

But the sails carry me windward

I've felt this way before

When you try to understand

Listen to the applause from the stars

His heart is the size of the world With the eyes of a lion So proud, So free He walks forward past

Girls like you don’t frown

You’ll be fine

Gone. Like the flicker of a flame. Gone. Like the end of a game. Gone. Like the calm after the storm. Raindrops on a tin roof. Sunshine on a hilltop Gone.

My poem writing thought process is in parentheses. Staring at the shadows Dancing with the wind Sitting on a rain cloud Staring at the sun Staring at the shadows (Platos alegory of the cave) Dancing with the wind (Chaos) Sitting on a rain cloud (Imagery, continued verb theme) Staring at the sun (Popped in my head, full circle)

When you no longer know the darkness When the world forgets you When the world is forgotten When things are solemn Whispers in the night We're all just whispers in the night

Stuck in the web I spun again Sinking in the concrete I poured Aching from the same ills I've done this to myself A lion stuck on a carousel Swim in the pool in the dark Drink whiskey for the warmth Listen to the devils tattoo Maybe you'll escape the loop One hell of a spin friend Chase tornados onto plains You're the eye of a hurricane Inside this chaos Born into this A taste, A dream, A whisper

Come down from your mountain See the fires in the valley See the evolving carnage This is your mess It doesn't snow here anymore You just feel the bitter cold Clatter of teeth and chill breezes This is your mess No direction leads you home Everyone claws at the foundation Their pokadot rags rip on the statues This is your mess

We're all alone out here Out here in the forgotten dunes Only wind and silence A solemn heart aching silence On our own in this place Left to our own devices Who do you love How can you dance Come and drink your wine Leave your judgement Chase this dream The dream that never comes true

Lifting off to another place Gone tomorrow Rest Rest

Goals. Always just out of reach and taunting. Always finding a way to cross you. Never here. Always far away. Time. Wasted on small insignificant trivia. Wasted on work. Never here. Always slipping. Love. There for you when you truly need it. There is nothing like it. Never rush. Always smile.😊
