thoughts of halloween

take over my mind as I

glance at the time

six more months

until pumpkins ghosts

and kids wanting

candy for strangers

although now that

the world is once

again lushes and

green, autumn

air can wait

looking through

photographs

I'm happy there's

seasons we wouldn't

appreciate one season

if that's all we had

the earth is reborn

along with flowers

and the warm

breeze of summer

american pie

sad country

no music playing

no one knows

what to say or do

but mourn the

loss of beautiful artists

creative minds

lost a part of their

brain cells that

day from overdosing

not able to accept 

the reality of today

the tragedy of tomorrow

and the rest of their lives

green leaves like lily pads

under clouds of fresh rain

sun appearing through

a gray mask

kids on the playground

second grade drama

talking like mini adults

with small brains

thursday is here

one more day until kids

go wild and adults

want to be them

snow that was

once rain falls

from the gray

spring evening sky

adults drinking booze

kids running wild

dogs freaking out

away from all

the chaos is

me and mike's

quietly surfing the

internet wasting away

my young life

eating a bad

but deadly delicious

krispy kreme doughnut

on my sister's

bed I pause

to look through

the dated white

shades at the

falling remembrance or

winter

summer's here 

I think with

a small smile

young people shouldn't

make life altering

decisions until at least

age 30

now is the time to

create who we 

want to be and

find our way in

this messed up

society

see the world

write poems

drink too much

coffee at 10am

find your true friends

distance yourself from the

annoying ones

but please

don't make a life changing

decisions until you know

who you are

brave

is being more

than being honest

it's about revealing

something you haven't

told a soul

vulnerability is one of

the scariest feelings

humans have

only one or two people

know who you are

but the only one

who knows everything

about you is the

person living your life

midnight silence

the world is calm

children are sleeping

adult's dreaming of

mistakes unmade and

coffee in the early morning

dim light messy floor

tired eyes wild mind

her body desperate to

close the chapter of

yesterday while her

thoughts are imagining

realities far beyond her

own starring people she

does not know

headphones on the bed

white fan going along

with snoring from

another room is the

only sound in her ears

she sighs lightly

happy birthday mom

cat's are meowing

they must be wanting something

birds are chirping

they must be joyful

_______________

5.21.2015

my mind is all over

never ending

thoughts go back

then run straight

ahead like humans

in sight of danger

views with stories

words with faces

complete chaos

filled with coffee

and photos of

woods in autumn

as green leaves turn

to orange art as

they float to the

ground like feathers

blown from a soft

breeze and the sun

gets closer as the

nights greets the

day sooner than

people want and

all that's left is

the memories of

summer with the

beautiful orange

leaves that are

gone too soon

5.31.2015

hot gray summer days

birds flying into white

marshmallow clouds with

an ocean blue sky

the world is alive

once again filled

with children laughing

and adults drinking

moments pass suddenly

yesterday was spring

tomorrow will be autumn

the cool spring nights

are now sweaty from

the summer heat

smells of campfires in the air

fireworks in our ears

a quiet night

dim lamp calm mind

reflection at it's finest
