Sit Still

Poetry drips
Mind slips
Enters in my spin drift

It’s ok, I am very happy to show the facade.
Nice, not too crazy, see ?
I have practiced this look.
I’ve read the cool books
I like to (say I )cook

Pendulum Swings
Moody Blues on the speakers
Tuesday Afternoon.
First a thirst starts to burn and a shadow creeps in
Once again old friend a new enemy made
From conjured stories made up from a song seldom played.

It’s not true that time flies
when it’s anxious and ill
Time stumbles
Time crumbles
dropped the ball that’s a fumble
Can’t you be humble what is really wrong with you now?

Breathe
Soft light
Tell thetruth
About those lies
This really hurts I threw a tantrum
Threw the game
Through the roof my calmness blew
I sting my wound
And really
It’s supposed to be

Grit from the sand
Is that what you planned
When you stole from me
My last good drop of youth

Thanks
I am welcome
You are not
But I almost forgot to say
I should never have let you all
See me this way
Too late

Seems it

Sleepy
Binge

Silence the sirens
wipe my lens clean too
She is the sweetest
why resist her too?

Disenchanted she dances
up on the tree tops
They came to trim branches
she couldn’t say stop

The leaves rustled rudely
The bark broke with haste
Bewildered yet still sure
this wasn’t a waste

A taste of fine breezes and
delicious delights
Held her tongue in a
tumbled up
twisted moon light.

The ending comes never
The story goes on
The girl
And the pendulum
swings all night long

I don't know why that really resonated with me but it did.
Someday there will be a poetry compilation of Steemit Posts.
Someday.
Someday that day, these words belong there.
Today.

Even more peculiar : you just gave me the chills! Why? Haha
Thank you for being semi-cryptic and mysterious. 🤓
I love a good puzzle.
I think you understand my silly words. I appreciate being understood - very much. 🦋🦋🦋

Reading through this seemed like embarking on a journey. I enjoyed every turn.

The girl and the pendulum swings all night long
Superb way to draw the curtain

Thanks. It felt cool to be obnoxiously emotional in writing. Moody - as a girl sometimes is. It’s a fantastic outlet.

That is my favourite part for some reason, really nice imagery and good adjectives tumbling off the tip of my tongue :)

Thank you! I like that part too. For me when I read it isolated like you have it here in this comment, it felt kind of like a mix between Dr Suess and Shel Silverstein. Of course I loved both of them, so those writers have been a stream of inspiration for me since childhood. Haha

Love the imaginations of those writers!

I have a song that I am yet to complete that touches on the topic of moonlit souls alive and in love... but only in the moonlight... when dawn strikes it all comes to an end

Sounds cool! Are you going to finally finish it? = ) I like to help people finish there decade old songs . It is a thing.

It's in the tool box, the lyrics are complete for the most part, its now about the Harmonic & Melodic delivery, super moody song, going for like a dark classical vibe, like a moonlit soliloquy, was turning into an epic of a song, more violins required! haha

Flight level 420 is the coolest place to contemplate what Justin, John, and Graeme sang about and your furry friend never judges.

Cryptic oh my. Dare I decode this? Ok... yup I got it. Very nice proof of comprehension. I would give you 2 thumbs up and my pup give 4 🐾 up so you can scratch his belly. Although, he does judge, based on how well you can find the good spots. You even got the moody guys. Good job detective! 🔎🕵🏻‍♂️

This great poem must surely have been composed when you were traveling. Probably thousands of feet above the ground...
