Small Poems

[SmilingLez]

They bow to the posted update.
Their eyes refuse the truth.
Unafraid, I scream: the bug is real.
The crowd swallows the silence whole.

The river

I smiled when I seen her today
Without a word she spoke to me
Wondering just where I have been
Catching up like it was only yesterday
Parting knowing one day we will be one.

 

[amitheotherone]

Faded post it note

Far from written for her
Never the less left to be found
Words he could never speak
Things that would never be.

 

[amitheotherone]

Panning for no’s

Days filled sifting for things to hold
Looking for that precious fine gold
Over and over always end up failing
Day to day all that grows is the tailings.

 

[amitheotherone]

Grasping at straws that fall
Silent but inside the screams call
I wish I had the virtue and hope
As a monk striking a match so content

wet hair
warm skin
sand between my toes
laughter in the air
the smell of the ocean
i could die here
happy

 

[amitheotherone]

Tied up

Leavening here never to look back
Losing the grip but right on track
Wasn’t much here to make me stay
Hope is the greatest of marionettes
Teased and coaxed you into a trance
With the mirror left you shadowboxing
Unchanged only the winds that changed
Only Ted foreseen what all this would do
As destiny sighs for another cruel joke.

 

[amitheotherone]

X
Moly’s kiss of black and white
For boar his thoughts that night
Traveling to see her all adorned
A cup and staff with eyes a scorn
Circe grins as I gulped wicked nectar
Smile’s melts when the magic folds.

 

[amitheotherone]

(.--. ... .)

Void of light the darkness cloaks
Lost my voice the walls do close
Connection severed I can’t speak
Recollection erased what it is I seek
If only you had the means to find me
Head to wall morse code out please.
