Subconscious 6

Maybe I’ll follow the river
To a beautiful fall
Maybe I’ll follow the forest
To a beautiful demise
Leaf one leaf two
Cliff above water
Reach out
Dive

Quietly Sad

So quietly sad
Can’t breathe
Just want to talk
To anyone who listens

So quietly sad
Knees into chest
Crocheted beanie
Hair of blue rivers

Time only reveals
Discernible truths
And covers what never was
And the end will be what is

So quietly sad

Care for the Worst

Yellow flowers absorbed around her feet
Tears that reflect mother’s golden sun rays
A quiet walk in the arms of placid fields
Where no one sees her restless body lay

Her weak fingers trace drawings in the dirt
As the day brings warmth to her little face
Slowly she drifts farther away hurtles
To her own creation of bliss places

People with sparked sympathy of sad stares
Embrace the earth stroking her dainty hands
They only take notice to express their care
When the worst grows and takes a dreadful stand

Yellow flowers absorbed around her feet
An eternal moment of spirits free

Than be stretched out
So easily seen
In a lonely sky
Open for you, them, and she

Rollie pollie child
It’s going to be awhile
Before you unroll me

Song of Youth

The sidewalk burned with oranges and yellows
I could not resist
Your face the essence of a morning heaven
Luring me in with it’s presence

The songs of our youth
Hummed from your guitar
So I lied myself down
Shutting my eyes to rest

As your voice sang softly
Light glinted from angels wings
I gave you all my trust
To our surreal dream

Night fell over your soul
Time crept behind your back
Before my arms circled your stomach
Your skinny body left
