Something Soupy

~ ~M ~ 26 Comments

Something soupy
A dollop of droopy
That’s what describes my day

Something failed
An idea derailed
Things aren’t going my way

A harrowing mess
Oh the distress
If only I could just start over

But the time it would take
Oh what a mistake
Trying to keep my composure

Can any of you relate
By these feelings of frustrate
Ever feel like burying your head?

Why do we even begin
Bearing an idea within
When we could’ve stayed in bed

Prismatic ponderings

~ ~M ~ 12 Comments

I begin to slowly die
whenever you’re away
disheartened by the absence
of your colorful array

An achromatic rainbow
is all that I can conjure
my mind’s eye being
desolate and somber

But then you return
like a prism in my mind
blotting out the bleakness
with a feeling undefined

My world becomes a haven
and my heart beats anew
saturated by all the colors
spilled on me by you

Cancer

~ ~M

It’s like a knife that peels
A blade that steals
It keeps embedding stakes in my heart

And you can’t die
Cause then I couldn’t lie
About the pain it’d impart

I need you to fight
Give it all your might
But I just feel you wither

The tears are there
Beneath the surface they stare
Fuck,
I just need you

Beginnings

He was there
unaware
of the magic
about to happen

She was there
quite aware
of a change
in the air

The current
seemed confused
maybe even
slightly amused

As unspoken
urges
drifted blindly
on the breeze

Some people…

~ ~M ~ 19 Comments

Some people
are perpetually sad
it’s hard to talk to them
they might get mad

Other people
are always happy
they’re easy to love
and make others sappy

Some people
are just hard to figure out
one minute smiling
the next it’s a shout

I like the people
who are easy to read
you always know exactly
what they need

I struggle with people
who can never share
It’s really hard to tell
if they even care

My favorite people
are the laughing kind
they know just how
to help me unwind

My least favorite people
are the constant complainers
they suck out the satisfaction
and are endless drainers

But I think overall
people are mostly great
some can be crabby
but to most I relate
