Ignorance Is Bliss

The wispy trees roll by
row by row.
The gentle breeze of the air conditioning 
brushes against my cheeks
In the bright blue sky swallows sing freely

A meadow lies in peace.
Pure and holy.
Beautiful beyond belief
only nature can nurture such peace
away from our motions of metal.

But as they become increasingly distant
lost in the annals of time; not even a flower shall remain.
With only one goal in mind.
We look onward into the future.

Nothing Lasts

My faithful friend
that I believed in
has our relationship in suspend.
It has been in a downwards trend.
It has been,
A dead end.
Alas, he does not even pretend.
Like talking to me is a sin,
this relationship is far too hard to mend.
So i shall spend
my efforts on another’s chin
and make a new friend
until you amend,
this relationship is in the bin.
I know you will comprehend
Because I intend to continue until the bitter end
Until you decide to extend your broken arm from the bin with a grin
To myself I recommend
You not to be my friend.

My Longing

The bloom of a new bud 
planted within me births old emotions. 
Planted within me, not by me but by eyes as deep as the ocean. 
It blossoms beautifully with my blood. 
A deep shade of red it signifies my desire 
I yearn longingly for you 
For this relationship is long overdue 
But my attempts have ended in misfire 
So when will you discover 
My desire 
And become my lover? 
My love burns hotter than the fryer 
So when will you discover
My fire?

Milk

Milk, the white fresh beverage
Is far too underrated
Lost in the depths of people’s mind
Kills the thirst or spice

It is what I call a drink
So creamy and smooth

Greatness in a carton or glass
O blessed cows
O blessed drink
Do me a favor and pour me a glass

Oops That Was An Accident

Oops. That was a very big tumble
Now everyone around me mumbles
I didn't mean for it to show
But everyone went woah
Nonetheless, it was still a big fumble.

After all, what dropped was my mallet
It priced at all i had in my wallet
Now all they feel is fear
Even though it’s just a sphere
It’s not like its a gun and a bullet.

People need to chill out
They just don’t see my clout
This is harmless
Because I’m armless
So as they watch, I sit here and pout.

Hungry Emotions

10/06/2019

The cold juice
It flows through my hands 
Attempts to clean up but it is no use
It stains the land of sand
But we still go on
We continue to eat
Wishing more could spawn
But hungry, we consume.
Without a care we do not stop.
Eating away into a dark room,
It continues non-stop.
When I grasp nothing but air
I realize there is nothing but me and despair.

Blue Seats

Stained blue seats lay docile
Awaiting to be snuggled 
They give it their all
to be very comfortable
But lingering heat kills it.

Warring Factions

A land of ice and fire,
a boundless border between.
Two inseparable contradictions
Forever cursed to exist side by side.

O land of ice and fire
your attention should be on the third faction.
For they are the true threat.
The land of temptation and greed, the land of allure,
The land of discounts marches upon both
and all shall be converted.
