Tip your Fedoras

They wore hats for jokes

And solved crimes to help

They've created problems

Inciting pains too

But the jokes don't end

They are people as well

From here to Twitter

And Twitter to YouTube

The communities the same

Just nestled from our sites

You could see wholesome

And healing ones too

But you don't

You just breath in toxic fumes

[serendityskies]

Won't Open

The desperate, chimes in

With their mouths a gap

In an age they don't belong

I say:

go ahead and take a look

You'll find that I won't open

Hey, you can even bring your horse

And try to plow through

And still, I'll say:

This Helen won't open

Her troy to you

[serendityskies]

Oh Helen of Troy

Oh helen of troy You're beauty in vain Those smiling eyes Shares those veins I wish I could touch Those pretty lips But I must say You gave me the slip

Oh helen of troy You elude me so A beautiful woman Whom keeps me back

Oh helen so bold And helen so cold Such a strong woman Whom never gets old

You've blocked my advances Such a warrior a true Oh helen of troy I wish for your love

But then I remember: Helen the bold Helen the cold Helen of Troy Whose fame is gold

Awake

You're awake

Looking outside

It's pitch black

But not to those looking in

They see your lights on

And they see you

But even when you're awake

You'll look outdoors and think:

"Everybody is asleep while I'm awake."

Funny Bird

It's funny The way this bird smiles at me The way she caws… And her signaling eye Her black eyes which stare She's not a raven I don't think? But she smiles And she gets closer In my head she's zoomed in I see her black eye Peering into my keyhole My eyeball that she peers through Is she a crow? I couldn't tell you I can only say that she's cawing Always cawing… She's getting closer to my sight And all I see is her I'm afraid that she'll peck out my eyes I don't see anything anymore But she knows all And she will know more soon Once she's free Leaving me blind

So, it drinks

As you do

The tasteless fluid

So cold and new

You'd think some druid

Made this link

So cold and new

The tasteless fluid

You drink as some druid

Does too

[serendityskies]

You're not

Writing is a form of expression

Just as art and music

You're not alone

Neither with your thoughts

Nor anywhere else

That's what poetry does

It connects people

Be it through emotion or images

Words and letters

Song and dance

Art can be lonely

So can anything else

Those "influencers" are people

And those "just like you's" are people too

People can be lonely

People can feel alone

But people can connect too

What do you think art does?

[serendityskies]

Are you?

Why are these words so sad?

And why do I share them?

I know!

I know!

Out into the void

No one will see...

Yah right!

Influencer 101

The decade debacle

Come on you know this!

You get comfortable

you make a diary

You share the words

Because no one sees them

At least... you don't think so

Because you feel sooo comfortable

Knowing that there're millions just like you

Sharing their thoughts

Influencer or not

On the web

And yes,

While it might be sad

You think to yourself:

"I'm not alone."

We Try

It says one thing

And it tries

But we try too

And we keep trying

Because we know

The more we try

The better the result

[serendityskies]

The Opposites

These words

They don't leave

My head says them

But the opposite holds

Go to bed

Stay awake

Shut down pc

Leave it on

These words

They don't leave

My head says them

But the opposite holds

[serendityskies]

Holiday Effect

The stockings smiled

And, I grinned back

For once:

We're happily filled

[serendityskies]

That Answer

Do the floorboards sway?

The lightness touches on our feet

It's bodily sensation gone awry

No ghost nor entity in sight

[serendityskies]

The Voice

What is that which creeps?

It says something that I can't quite hear.

What is that sound? It's not wailing.

Is it a figment? I wouldn't know.

But it speaks familiarity.

[serendityskies]

The Letter

What letter do we write?

That'd make us see?

I wouldn't know

Would you?

[serendityskies]

That Mindset

She saw me

And I saw her

And now she knows

Fuck.

This bothers me

Since I know

That she sees

[serendityskies]

That Smile

I saw you standing there

Smiling that way

And I couldn't touch

Does it bother me?

I wouldn't know

[serendityskies]

I'm not gonna lie to you anymore

The prettified view

I thought to share

To trick us into belief

I thought could help

But maybe not

As adding delusions

Wouldn't hold

Lying to ourselves

Is that what it is?

I could tell you

That you're fine

I could whisper kindness

But is that true?

Or am I just pacifying

Your innate calls?

No, I won't do that

Instead we'll start small

Take it slow

Brush your teeth

Take it slow

Get something to eat

Take it slow

clear the snow

And just one more thing

Finish some work

Do these things

And I promise you

That it'll be over

That gnawing shall cease

Just for a bit

Not anything more

Just do this today

And the rest will follow
