Midnight City
Mitch Prax Dec 2020
It's almost midnight-
the car is gaining speed
and we're passing
world after world.
There is no destination, baby,
it's all about the journey
as we fade
into the night.

Mitch Prax Dec 2020

Shipwreck & Storm
Mitch Prax Dec 2020
You’ve been
following me out to sea
hoping to find paradise
on my voyage
but I am nothing
but shipwreck and storm;
a tsunami leaving nothing but
chaos in its wake.

Diary Excerpts #31
Mitch Prax Nov 2020
Dear Diary;
I think I've figured out
why I enjoy staying up so late.
It's 2:44 am
and the world is quiet.
No one expects anything from me
nor do I expect anything from anyone.
It's just me
and the silence.

The Sharpest Knife

We are left with such hatred

The Voyage
Mitch Prax Oct 2020
The nights
are growing darker
and the waves
are getting rougher
Surrounded by
darkness and disarray,
I make my haven
in this boat built for two.
This love is an ocean
beneath a sky of uncertainty-
it consumes us night after night.
But, together,
we take this voyage-
just me and you.

Like lavender,
this world is a brighter place
because of your beauty

Like lavender,
you have a scent so divine,
and I have been blessed
to call it mine.
