Too-Soon
You may “stop all the clocks”
as many times as you wish
and Death will not be impressed.
With Time on his side
Death sneers at the turning of gears,
laughs at swinging pendulums,
yawns bored at chains with weights
and the tick … tock … tick … tock …
is no more than white noise
promising eternal continuance
of Death’s 100% success rate.
She died before her time,
sieved by helplessness.
The rational mind gives poor answers to this mystery
and a truer bigger picture
lies...
as many times as you wish
and Death will not be impressed.
With Time on his side
Death sneers at the turning of gears,
laughs at swinging pendulums,
yawns bored at chains with weights
and the tick … tock … tick … tock …
is no more than white noise
promising eternal continuance
of Death’s 100% success rate.
She died before her time,
sieved by helplessness.
The rational mind gives poor answers to this mystery
and a truer bigger picture
lies...

Afterthought
Remembering what I said last night, now I reflect
I should have been a little more cautious with my words
But then again hindsight is always twenty-twenty
I blurted out the things that came to mind
And now I’m choosing on what to do next.
I don’t know why I said it
But my intuition was to be honest,
Now the poet in me is sad.
I slept on it but still
No answers came to me in dreams…
It’s like we go through this cycle,
Every once in a while we’ll argue,
Reconnect and become closer,
Until something...
I should have been a little more cautious with my words
But then again hindsight is always twenty-twenty
I blurted out the things that came to mind
And now I’m choosing on what to do next.
I don’t know why I said it
But my intuition was to be honest,
Now the poet in me is sad.
I slept on it but still
No answers came to me in dreams…
It’s like we go through this cycle,
Every once in a while we’ll argue,
Reconnect and become closer,
Until something...

Wintertide Metaphor
( after Louise Glück )
How was I to know
dormancy could craft
the art of contentment;
that breaking beyond winter
to spring’s hustling charms
would teach me of solitude—
instill a crisp propensity
for suppression again
Spring is cursory—
a budding headdress only
for those that cannot observe
beyond outward beauty;
who swallow, eventually ...

Afterthought (Inspired by Louise Glück)
The blank pages and canvas in front of me
Remain barren and empty. Why? Maybe
I no longer feel any of the inspiration and
blood flowing through my veins like they
once did before. Maybe my voice chose
to give out. All I can do is hope for the rose
to start blooming again and for a miracle
to take me back to the empty roads where
I felt most at home. Even the changes in
scenery did not ease my mind anymore.
All I can think about is the world that tears
apart at the seams. But no one seems to
care about the darkness...
