Sweet Tooth

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy My sweet tooth craves something Sugary in my tummy I don’t want to let hunger happen to me But my break is almost over and I just can’t decide There’s that Whatchamacallit sitting on my desk But I need to break out of the ordinary And maybe taste the rainbow Standing in…

Beholder

Stare into my eyes and tell me what you see. A portrait painted with beauty and innocence Or a collection of pixels illustrating magnificence? Can you count the number of thoughts fluttering pass my labyrinthine mind? Can you crack the secrets trapped in my mouth, Lock behind my lips, That my tongue tries to spill?…

I Don’t Know

Maybe my dress was too tight I don’t know Maybe my skirt was too short I don’t know Maybe my blouse was too low I don’t know Or my yoga pants too firm fitting I don’t know Maybe my maxi dress was too loose, How that one strip falls off my shoulder I don’t know…

The Beast of Life

Tethered to nothing but a wish and a dream Floating in unsettling gravity Grappling for a branch or twig to grasp onto A mere ledge to hold you afloat In this life there are but few certainties You will be born into a world of instability Haunted by fears that infect your decent soul Festering…

Mysterious Island

I’m an island with no name Floating in the Pacific without tourist to call my own No boats dock on my plentiful beaches No feet dance in my tantalizing sand No eyes fall in whimsical wonderment while staring upon my pristine water No soul devours my delectable fruit Birds fly over, not wanting to rest…

Boredom

Like watching paint drying on a colonial barn door Brain cells exploding with rising trepidation Blood boiling with annoyance Waiting for time to soar towards its apex Bring upon the sweet pleasure of chaos The wild rapid ride of uncertainty Rain upon my senses the confusion of complexity The welcomed bliss of excitement Shine upon…
