The Poets Korner: Untitled

UNTITLED

The first time you took mine 

and called it something else

I rejoiced in the calamity that ensued.

The destruction of my self taught nature 

the beginning of your tyrannical bliss.

a cold mistress kept blind and held

tied to the idea of you.

bound to a future with you.

And this is what I try to forget.

That I was ever something 

other than myself 

that I allowed you to take 

my youth, my health!

That me and you were wound 

inside a cocoon of lies 

and you encased my mind.

Your curious nature was an invader 

and mimicked the savior 

that I gave shelter 

in the corners of my heart. 

The Poets Korner: Remembering To Forget

Remembering To Forget
Woke up this morning
Then I closed my eyes again
I remembered you were gone

I remembered that picture on the night stand was face down
I remembered how I missed you
I forgot how to forget

And before I woke up it was working so well
My uncurious unconscious dictated my feelings
Filing my head with music and happiness up to the ceiling

Where the only thing that mattered was jumping sheep
With pink polka dots
Wearing green hats

Woke up this morning feeling loss
I remembered your favorite song
I remembered how you smiled when I sang it
I forgot how to forget

The most important thing
The one thing I needed to remember I let slip
Sliding out of bed

I slowly started to push you back
Into the depths of my mind
Starting my day, I’ve pushed you out of the way

Here in the waking world I remember how to forget
A smile crosses my lips
