Butterflies flutter
Flowers frolic, silken threads
Hold me as I sleep
🍄 day 5 of gratitude haiku
I dried like fruit under the sun
my high hopes, they created themselves
an ugly subtle reflection of you
I tried to wait out see where it'd move
if it doesn't, then I'm stuck
in unfettered visions.
-s's.
you should know by now what a liar i can be, with two fingers crossed and whispering to you goodnight and sweet dreams, while i resist sleep in favor of picturing what tomorrow's abrupt entrance may bring—
what strength the dusty wind will blow with, what color of light the radiant sun will shine, what striking songs the birds will choose to sing,
or whether this heaviness will still weigh my life's sins on my heart and my mind,
and, maybe, what words from you will greet, from behind a waking veil, these still-sleepy morn eyes;
I got lucky
I never ask, I only have to dream
It's so hard, don't you believe me
I got lucky,
believe me
I am not gonna go back, sociopath
I have a chance, I have a chance, I have to dance,
I need it more than I could explain
living in the outskirts of a fantasy
-s's.
How long do you keep pumping them out of your blood through writing,
Only for them to loiter by your veins and come right back in?
life, a big black hole
got me leaning in, in some way
I don’t recall anyone on the horizon
I’m all alone, it’s sucking me in
Sucking into the time hole, again
Nobody I know, Nobody I will
-s’s.
-s's.
I can't see your art, I don't know what beauty beneath eyes like yours could be, what it looks like, how you’ll love, what you’ll know, why I should follow you home -s’s.
if I reach for you will I finally know what you’re about? interstellar dust is all you are, why do you act like something else?
-s's.
