the Egyptians of ancient times
worked in the sun for few dimes

they slavishly carted square blocks
to ***** temples and pyramid docks  

as the sun streamed down
upon their heads
the workers in stone
wanted their sun god dead

they offered orisons
to Ra telling him he'd gone too far
by sending forth an over abundance
of hot solar bars

so the laborers of ancient Egypt
took refuge from Ra's heat
in the pharaoh's cool crypt
Cool black streams & mossy oaks
soothe the weary traveler.
But there is really no way
to fully describe in words
the true spirit
of La Florida outdoors.
Let's just say
it gets lost
in the bottomlands,
these endless swamps filled with gators
& ibises as far as the eye can see.
A shooting star
on the tip of the Everglades
spells magic
& with every croak of the bullfrog,
you lose yourself a little bit more,
from the unreality of living
away from this paradise.
You have real joy deep in your heart,
love spills from your fingertips,
everything that has ever,
ever surrounded you
is a marvel
in one way or another
they,
they will find a while to rob you of such happiness.
They will kiss you
with their deadly lips
& **** the life right out of you,
because they,
they never had a life
of their own
& for that you will
pay penance
for the rest of your days,
for the sickness
of their missing hearts,
black as night.
let's take a chance
on romance
we'll dance
to its lovely trance

our hearts melting together
in a sorts of weather
twill be a pleasant tether
waltzing lightly as a feather

forever to embrace
we'll make a sweet interlace
twirling to romance's grace
how divine this precious brace

love's accord ours to stay
as we glide in its array
spangling stars in our bay
oh how fine our tryst display

let's take a chance
on romance
we'll dance
to its lovely trance
Drowning myself in liquored down consciousness
So maybe I’d have the confidence
To tell you that you’re on my mind
And not the usual “thinking of you”
But the ******* reality
That you’re my sunshine
And my moon,
That you breathe life into me
That you can take away, too.

Smoking these packs a day,
So maybe the smoke can suffocate these
Empty feelings of loneliness and stress
And ash the late night heart broken regret.

Hitting bowls to fill these holes
Of where your hands have burned in me
Where I crave one last singe of heat
From the top of your pink lips
To your hands on my hips,
Though I know it’ll never be enough.

Swallowing multicolored pills
To stop these freezing chills
That frost through my nerves
Whenever I remember that night
You traced your hands along the silhouette
of my curves
Or
When you’re perfect fingers
Would push my hair from in front
of my face to aside
With such warming grace
Just to tell me to show my
Beautiful eyes
From a cheeky smile
to swollen eyes
able to change from a loud
carefree soul
to a silent volcano
able to erupt any minute
able to form friendships eagerly
but drop them suddenly

A social lone wolf

Viewed by my right brain
as lively, intuitive, an old soul

Viewed by my left brain
as questionable, bipolar,
and deeply morose

All in all
just an alien to myself

A prism of light and dark
with many different sides
stuck in my head
balancing on the edge
between sanity and insanity
all hidden by this
dimpled grin
Had to write this for an English class in the style of the poem "Legal Alien"
Like a loopy bumble bee
filled with carefree
wanderlust
buzzing through the spring alone
Until I found you
my bullheaded
Scorpion
With a structured and
grounded, practical heart
that became my
welcoming
honeycomb ❤
