FRAGMENTS
Fragments, oh fragments
Small pieces of brokenness
Time chiseled off moments
in detached consciousness
Shattered hope and dreams
In solitary confinement
Fear, in suppressed screams
Enforced early retirement
Retained disappointed feats
Trigger the onset of delusion
Unto bowing lowly in defeat
Reduced to utter confusion
Blasted, stripped of dignity
Unretrieved pieces of unity
Fragments of human sanity

Nostalgic Embrace.
I live in nostalgic comfort while I exist in your embrace.
I am ten years old.
It’s past my bedtime time.
I fell asleep on the couch watching my favorite movie.
In my father’s arms I’m carried up the stairs.
Sinking to sleep in the gentle sway.
My body relaxing once I feel my mattress.
The peace and comfort.
The feelings identical,
As if one was a prelude to the other.
I feel like more people should see this.
Burn away my cache of lies to make room for your butterlies Flora grows, fruit will bloom in what I had built to be a tomb
Spin me left, dip me right. Dance with me into the night.
and when we stop to rest our eyes, your heartbeat will be my lulaby
