Hanging like a natural backdrop
twilight with a twist of lime;
Colored like a red, white, and blue pop
the sky sparkles uncontrollably;
A brief moment ends with a hard stop
moonlight mixed with pyrotechnics;
Scattered before traffic can develop,
smoke in the air rings for a lifetime;
Bright Buck shines on the blacktop.
Denied by God
oh, what a sweet pain
a deep stinging treat
an assurance in the rain.
A kiss of denial,
a sweet bitter herb,
a loving embrace as Im kicked to the curb.
A reset button pressed on my behalf,
case closed-no follow up notes to be had.
Running running faster still-
hard stop as i crash into a wall,
now Im still.
Ears ringing, nose bleeding, eyes blinking, tears flow;
Plan B up ahead, Just taking it slow.
Bruises appear all over my body
as denial breaks my bones till im sobbing.
How many more walls must I crash into,
to find the life I was meant to pursue.
