Perhaps,
The great perhaps
has passed
Thinking of people
You've met and asked
When're you done?
Who are you now?
What you've become?
Where and how?

Perhaps,
The great perhaps
has passed
But that doesn't mean
We shouldn't ask
The people we meet
The difference we make
It's hard to adjust
To the risks we take

But perhaps,
The great perhaps
Is now
Yes, I see it
This is true
As surely as
Our sky is blue
One step
Then another

Then another

I believe in you

It’s 4am
awake
I am desperate
I am color blind
The world is black and white
but I’m not ignorant
at least not tonight
I’ve got the answers
in my pocket
Landon Keys Mar 2022
Sling me from your trebuchet
Launch me into oblivion
I don't want to be near you anymore
Not because I hate you
But because loving you is too much
For my soul to bear
sad
Landon Keys Apr 2022
sad
A profound feeling of disquiet
A soul anxious and eager
A ruptured endeavor
A heart in riot
A jest though meager
A feeling forever
Landon Keys Jul 2023
I see it in your smile
I see it on your face
I feel it in your touch
I feel it on your skin
I hear it in your laugh
I hear it on your chest
I smell it in your hair
I smell it on your breath
I taste it in your kiss
I taste it on your lips
All my senses tell me
My heart knows how to feel
With all my being I know
My love for you is real
Landon Keys Aug 2021
I don't know what to write
I just hope you see it
Landon Keys Nov 2023
I can love you
I can feel the vibe
But the answer is no
I can love you
But you'll never be her
And to you that's not fair
I'd rather be alone
Then cause another single tear
Landon Keys May 2022
I sondered
As you passed me by
I wondered
As many past goodbyes
I stiffened
As I saw you cry

Was your life
As sad as mine?

I offered
As you stopped in awe
I assured you
As your tears did fall
I listened
As you told it all

Our world of sadness
Is not so small

I let you know
I too have felt it
I too have known
The weight of existence
Upon your soul
I promise you
You're not alone

Let us go together now
I'll wipe away the tears and clouds
No longer will this strife enshroud
Our lives this way with fears and doubts

Together we are stronger
Than we could ever be alone
Please take my hand dear friend
And let us wander home
Landon Keys Oct 2022
Hello little star
I see your little light
So high up in the sky
But I know you're burning bright
So far away in space
A million miles away
I long to touch your face
And soon I will some day
From earth your light seems dim
But I know this isn't true
So I'll take off through the heavens
In my rocket ship I flew
Quick in your direction
I am hurling like a comet
There you are to guide me
I'm in love and cannot stop it
A star that burns so fiercely
So brightly in the sky
Baby I'm your astronaut
So come with me and fly
Landon Keys Nov 2021
I want to love you
Is that okay to say?
It's just the way you look at me baby
Has me feeling some type of way
I know it's new
But I knew it when I saw you
Landon Keys Aug 2021
Grievous and unhealable
That which was my life
Was nothing
But an axe wound

And now it's curious
And without reason
That because of you
I can still smile
Landon Keys Oct 2021
"Who do you think is going to die first?
                                                                ­                   "Me, without a doubt."
"Why do you say that?"
                            "Because if you died first then have to be sad forever."

In a breath of bereavement
Get ahold of that needment
The blossoms of Barren Bizarre

They are what they are

In the breath of bereavement
It's quite the achievement
To coalesce the conundrum afar  

They are what they are

In the breath of bereavement
It is hard to believe it
It's our journey that leads to the stars

They are what they are

Your soul in a jar

I did what had to be done
Landon Keys Nov 2020
It was busy that day.
The odds were against me seeing you.
Never-the-less we brushed shoulders on the bustling  sidewalk.
I stopped and turned.
You did not.
“Namaste.”
I thought.
I pressed my hands, and bowed my head.
A gesture you never saw.
I am one to never pass up any opening in meeting someone.
You should never know who will change your life.
Also, never take shoulder bumps for granted.
As I am the one with gum on my shoe.
Landon Keys Jan 2022
If you listen closely
You can hear
The strands of my heart tear
Not only because you're not here
But because I do not know where
Landon Keys Oct 2021
Four walls around me
A river flowing soundly
Look for peace in calamity
Like a pearl in a clam for me
Pumping, breathing
Everything you're needing
Even more
No less
The cause of a lot of stress
Setting behind a desk
I wonder
Do they still play there?
They took the merry-go-round out
Come to find out
A sad day in the hearts of the elderly
A sight so sad to see
A dog sitting on the beach with no master
Landon Keys Aug 2021
through every Fire
       across every Ocean
   through every Forest
                over every Mountain
I want to do this with You.

The needment for oblivion
Amongst the chaos of the world
"The evil and the blessing will reach us all,"
Along the ley lines of serotonin and regret
Landon Keys Jan 2021
As I replicate my thoughts
recollect my intentions
and
re-seize my emotions.



I find that
Time has a funny way of distorting things.



It
revives the life that
reveals the truth that
reviles a saint..



look at now
not then..
not when..

The only way that
time makes sense.



Man, men
mice, moose
it doesn't matter really

lose that thought.
Landon Keys Nov 2020
my thoughts
digress in a demon like departure.
my feet are simply no longer beneath me.
While You have both; i have none.
God really does have Her favorites.
Landon Keys Nov 2021
The crushing weight of uncertainty
Can certainly be
The end of me
But why lie beneath
The lies and heat
We've lived and died
In subtlety
You're ripening
Now it's time to see
Him playing for pipe and string
He's not the type to sing

Hanging from the rafters.
Landon Keys Apr 2022
Sometimes
It's the sudden collapse
Of all we hold dear
That ferries us to realization

"I know that doesn’t seem to make sense…
but somehow in my mind…
well, never mind, I don’t know."
Landon Keys Jul 2022
There will be no one on this journey to help me,
and I'm there to forgot the one I would be thinking about the entire time.
Well,
Here to go.
Landon Keys May 2021
The light sheen
On Midnight street
Like cattle for beef
You slaughter me
Landon Keys Jan 2022
The one person I want to talk to
has abandoned all communication
seemingly out of nowhere
and without reason


I do not understand and my heart hurts.
Landon Keys Nov 2021
With a broken heart I cried
Though sullen tears now dried
Landon Keys Sep 2023
As we acquiesce
To the depressed of society
I try my best
To digress from propriety
Unlike the rest
To impress Gaiety
I undress
To caress anxiety
Pitter patter
Peter
Piety
Landon Keys Jan 2022
This is my letting go
Failed restraint
And over zealous

Pain I surely know
My love goes faint
And heart grows jealous

Eager for the flow
Ebbing from the pain
And echoes of my chelys
Landon Keys Jan 2022
Amidst the uncertainty of Gods and Devils
One might proclaim
The only things certain in life
Are Anger, Hope, and Pain
Landon Keys Jan 2021
i've locked You away
Every place i've ever been
Only for You to be
On my mind again
i've buried You down
In the bottom of a bottomless pit
Regardless of how i dismiss You
On my soul You sit

Reaching
Far reaching
Never near
Never clear
Ever fear The Faithful

To me- She was the Sun
Giver of life, colorer of worlds
To Her- i was but a grain of sand
On which She walked
Landon Keys Jun 2023
In the chaotic swirling mist
Of iron raining from my life's sky,
I stand adamant
Amongst the storm,
Against the merciless roar,
And din of a dying light.
Landon Keys May 2021
Whenever I think that I am lost
I think about to vast emptiness of our universe
and then..
I know I am.

The Roses I planted
Picked and placed
In another ***
In another plot
Landon Keys Feb 2022
Selfishness resonated in my mind
Regret flirted on my tongue
In silence I sat
As dawn crept near
A lingering feeling of dread
I didn't want to end

Heartache in a chaos of joy and confusion
Landon Keys Aug 2021
I am the people.
You are the trees.
I am the monkey.
You are the bees.
I am the sun.
You are the breeze.
I am the war.
You are the peace.
Landon Keys Mar 2022
Fortis sed non invictus sum
Vivam sine te sed id non amabit
Tristis in aeternum ero
Landon Keys Dec 2020
Sometimes I wonder-
Where you ended up.
Sometimes I wander-
Not caring where I go.
Wondering if you wonder-
What happened to me.
Wandering in wonder-
I guess I'll never know.
Wet
Landon Keys Jan 2021
Wet
I lived life and enjoyed it the same
but always
there will be pain
just when it looked up
the thunderstorm came
but there's nothing like the gleam of the street
just after it's rained
Landon Keys Oct 2021
What was the name of that hat?
Can barely stay awake
Once I confessed I loved You
That was that.
You let me use Your toothbrush
I had forgotten mine
What a night that was
Two souls, passion divine
Long walk, 24th street
Secret kisses in a tunnel
Who knew so much emotion
Could be transferred with a hug
A piece of my heart
Will always be Yours
Letting go was hard
Walking down those stairs
******* I loved You.
******* I love You.
Where are You?
Where?
Landon Keys Nov 2023
"What do you think when you look at me?"

"That I feel safe.. Like I can breathe. My gaze always pauses extra long on your eyes, and I want to run my hands through your hair and beard."

"My eyes are simply a reflection of yours."
