Poetry

At least an attempt at it…

Little Red Arrow

A little Red Arrow
I am fully engrossed
Not from cupid or God
But a little White Ghost

A small Yellow Logo
At the top of my screen
When I see a red circle
I eagerly scream

For a notification
From the Person I like
sends my heart soaring
A quick sharp spike

So give it a minute
or two or three
Don't let them know how excited you'll be
in twenty-three hours
to save a streak
a little red box
click, open, repeat
Happiness is a Moment of Sunlight in a Month Long Storm

Life is a storm
The constant deafening thud of thunder that envelops you entirely
The piercing drops of rain that penetrate your paper skin
The unbearable gusts of wind that knock you down and make it impossible to get back up
Overwhelming attack from every direction

Happiness
is the distant ray of sunlight that breaks through the clouds
Visible for only a moment
and then gone
You feel its warm touch kiss your face
before cold air slaps you back into reality

Happiness is brief.
and life is so damn long
Melancholic Monotony

You wake up to the cold hum of a lifeless fan,
and the world around you scuffed by repetition.

With a calm melancholy, the elevator takes you down.

You struggle for your headphone safety blanket.

Walking down the street you feel a quiet one sided familiarity.

The soundtrack to your uneventful life blares in the background.

You PAUSE, 
listening to the rhythm in your chest
You hear the constant ebb and flow of all that is you
A beating clock
Ticking at the core of your very existence
A perpetual reminder of your own finality
and at the same time,
of your own perseverance

PLAY, you return to homogeneous reality
Ode To You
You are special
A completely unique and complex network of lightening quick neurons
The combination of two perfectly flawed individuals
A collection of moments so vast and unique, it's impossible to comprehend
The center of your very own little universe
You are special
And please don't forget it
Lemons
Sometimes, life gives you lemons
And you have no idea how to make lemonade
Life gives you lemons
And you squeeze it into a sour pulpy soup
This horrible yellow syrup makes you sick
But you stomach each gulp
With the hope that the next one will bring something new.
Campus of Whispers
They say that a whisper is silent
That its barely a sigh or a peep
But here on this campus of whispers
I hear them screaming,
They call out to me

They say that thoughts can wander
That every one is unique
But here on this campus on whispers
I hear the rhythm of blossoming pleas

They say each person is different
But it doesn't seem to be
Here on this campus of whispers
Thoughts of thousands whisper to me
