Thoughts Of A Wandering Soul

As the moon rises, and the sun sets

I find it harder to get any rest.

The days fly by, no longer waiting for me to get up .

Time waits for no man and I’ve always known

But I wish time would stand still when I’m all alone.

Let the clouds form and the rain fall.

Let the birds chirp and the bugs crawl.

But please, don’t let me wake and it be tomorrow.

The Ongoing Conflict of The Inner (Orange) Versus The Outer (Blue)

Bittersweet

Love is what we seek more than anything else this world can offer.

The four letter word may seem simple but its very complex.

So what is “ Love “ really ?

It is ever changing and can be molded into something as beautiful as a flower.

Or it can be unnerving, as intricate as a puzzle with a thousand pieces.

Love can crush you under the weight of the expectations

Or it can lift you up above the world and give you a brand new perspective.

Love can leave you trapped inside of a box 6 ft under ground.

Or it can free you from your mental shackles, no longer bound.

Love can be as sweet as a lemon cake on your birthday

But there’s a reason we save cake for special occasions.

Too much of anything is bad for you.

And sweets bring cavities.

Outer / Inner

(Outer)

I am the calm.

I am the rock that holds up against raging waters.

The crutches that help you maintain your balance.

I am the tree that blocks the blazing sun and gives you shade.

The alarm clock that counts your hours, minutes, and days.

I am the hilt that continues to hold the sword in place.

The voice in your head that tells you “ it’s a marathon, not a race.”

I am the calm that waits on the inside of the storm.

The flower that bloomed the same day you were born.

You should love me.

(Inner)

I am the storm.

I am the lightning that strikes your home.

The never ending doubt that makes you feel alone.

I am the burning hate in the deepest part of your heart.

The rage that takes over and makes you tear your room apart.

I am the cancer that took your most cherished loved ones.

The officers that fills you with fright as they hold you up with guns.

I am the driver that cuts you off in traffic when you’re late to work.

The creep that makes you uncomfortable and lurks.

You should hate me.

A Late Night Escape

I stare into the night sky seeing the stars and the moon

Wishing I could soar through the clouds like a large harpoon

Closing my eyes and inhaling the midnight breeze

Smelling the fresh dew that comes from the midnight trees

Ascending above rooftops the weight of my problems get lighter.

Silence fills my ears as the altitude gets higher.

The moon shines bright like a lighthouse signaling my soul home.

A soul that’s surrounded by billions of bodies but still feels alone.

So I jump into a nearby cloud and treat it like a comfy couch sofa

Spark up a blunt and think the good times over.

Who would’ve guessed that when the night is in its darkest hour

My soul burns the brightest like a blazing fire.

The irony.
