check out my website http://speakinvowels.wordpress.com/ Just updated all my poetry to it and will continue to post new work to this site.
If walking close
Side by side
Bumping arms
On a chilly night
Downtown
Looking at old houses
If that’s the closest
I’ll get
To holding your hand
Or holding you close
At least for right now
Well
Hell
I’ll take it.
But I do appreciate the praise. So without the drunkin’ sarcastic tone, Thank you kindly. Sincerely. Why Anonymous??
Well aware. Thank you kindly. Be sure to consult “Anonymous” on any big decisions moving forward. But I haven’t decided what to classify some of my work in progress under yet. SO, I’d like to cover all my grounds.
I talk to you
For the same reason you would too
People compare how they would spend their lottery winnings
Or browse clothing fittings
To maintain a level of hope
That satisfies the heart on that slippery slope
Without losing grip on the reality that I can’t have you
But forever true
What could have been
What may have been
I will always love you
I wish
I wish you would have stayed
But it was
In your best interest
to leave me
on my merry way
Maybe you’ll be there when
When I return
I return again
But I can only hope
Only hope
I could ever win
Ever win
With you again
You know those mornings
When you forgot to set your alarm
And you forgot to charge your phone
And you Forgot to wake up on time for work
Then you don’t take a shower,
You don’t put on clean clothes
You don’t brew fresh coffee
To make up for lost time
Then you’re ready to go but you leave your car keys upstairs
Then you realize you didn’t brush your teeth
So you do
Now you’re ready to to leave and you heat up day old coffee
But you get in your car and realize the car keys you went to get
were left on the kitchen counter
And now that that you have your keys you think about it and realize
The coffee is actually two days old
And you look at your car’s digital clock and see that you should be at work
Right the fuck now
But you start the car and start cruising to loud music and sip 2 day old coffee
And realize
You don’t care
Because during that 27 minute commute
Coffee
Music
Time to think
And The Little Things
Everything is okay
Everything
Is just
Okay…
