Suddenly
a happy world is gone
disappeared
evaporated
How could this have happened?
An arm
around a loved one
in comfort
but nothing can comfort me
Every life a world
and now one world
a world that I loved so much
Gone
Forever

The Night’s Light
To lie on the ground
and just
look
up
is a wonderful feeling
the endless world above us
is an amazing sight to see
These twinkling lights
are what gives light to our universe
at night
they are
the night’s light
The Earths Response
The Earth, if my eyes deceive, was clean and clear until us humans came
We polluted, we destroyed and the Earth shed a tear and tried to blow us away
But we stayed here
As we kept on hurting her the Earth tried to cope, ice caps-melting, Covid-killing
But we stayed here
Nothing was working, we became to strong, so as we create a vaccine the Earth sang for help,
And as she sang, and as global warming got worse, nobody came
so we stayed here
Black death, chickenpox, yellow fever, all were ways to drive us out, but we didn’t notice
So we shall stay here
Fantasy
Fantasy
The word begets only ill formed shapes in my mind
Of the glint of sunlight on metal
Of crimson red,
And yet I can’t stop thinking of them.
Their taste draws me in like blood to a shark
And I can’t help but bite into the lure.
Wanting
Stuff
Things
Such a broad term for such a specific thing
Stuff is the black cat that reminds you of Halloween sitting on your window
Stuff is the blue pen sitting at your desk stark against the brown wood
Stuff is the blood red nail polish in the bathroom
Stuff is the dried flowers hanging in your neighbor’s lawn
Stuff is the old tea bags in the mug that has long since lost its warmth
Stuff is the white pillow sitting on the white bed that hasn’t been slept in for years
Stuff is anything and everything
Stuff is something we all take for granted
Because
We always want more
Always think that we need more
We all give in to wanting until
There is no more stuff
Nothing that you own because you wanted too much
And threw away everything that you owned
You threw away everything that you are
And you have to find yourself again
To finally remember to stop wanting
