lost and found


who am i
but a vagabond
enduring a world of strangers
it's not often
i've traveled upon
throughout my suitcased past
a sympathetic soul
just as lost and incognito,
like a discarded transplant
which saves life,
as i,
who soars through the stars
seeking refuge from life's sorrows
the one who doesn't love to impress
but loves when impressed
the one who cries at the simplest things
and laughs at the toughest
who am i indeed
but so fortunate and found

missing

the mornings that you're not here
find me famished
but i can't eat
though hollow from the nights before

in the afternoons i lose all senses
with petal-less gardens
and imprints in the blades of grass
reminders of where we lay

but it's the nights i miss you most
the interminable nights of intolerable empty
where i hide in sorrow
in the darkest corners of the gloom

the long loud scream


there's a sea of ice
under which we'll crush
and a sun of gold
under which we'll melt
a torrent of rain
under which we'll drown
a tremor of earthquake
under which we'll smother
yet this earth continues what it has to do
for its inhabitants know not what they do
as we pass the ribbon of rubicon
under the big bold bright balloons
waving a carnival of streamers
of freedoms and liberties
the dopamine of our playground
unable to resist the riptide
stumbling fumbling tumbling
beyond the tipping point
like roller coaster riders
at the apex of the long loud scream
toward silence
