Poem: About Moving On

Poem: About Moving On

Romantic love, lately,

Has brought thoughts

Of stories and fiction

To my mind; I feel a

New kind of love for

Myself as I realize that

You aren’t the first

Person who comes

To mind anymore.

Poem: Unspoken Lines #6

A Haiku // The One about My Heart

“I won’t show you what

A love like mine looks like; my

Heart can’t handle yours.”

Poem: Waiting for the Rain

I sat waiting for the rain to come

Because the rumbling of thunder

Seemed to come from just beyond

My door; I expected the darkness

Of the sky to produce some kind

Of downpour, but none came.

I sat waiting for the rain to come

And wash away my expectations that

The sky would stay so dauntingly gray;

That life would be this way until

A wave of relief flooded it; that I

Would continue to spend my days

Like this, waiting for the rain.

Poem: Time

I felt the passage of time

More strongly than ever

When I had peace and quiet

Enough to watch it

Drift through my fingers,

Enough for me to feel fine

About how fleeting it is

To be alive, how fleeting

It is to have time, to live

To let go of it, to live and

To be alive.

Poem: Cotton Candy

I’ll dream of you

In navy blue

Like you wore on that late spring night

When the festival light

Of fireworks bright

Was reflected back by your wide eyes.

I’ll sing to you of the world as I knew it

Amid the neon boom

That pounded in my ears.

It was the same night that I knew I loved you,

Cotton candy caught in my curls

Like the woven thread

Of my fingers intertwined with yours,

When I stood close enough to you

That I thought I could hear

The navy blue neon boom

Of your heartbeat matching mine.

A Plant Update and Another Thank You~

//A non-poetry post

Hello, hello!

Thanks so much for 75 followers! As I've said before, I appreciate that you've taken the time to read my writing and stuck around for future posts. I'll keep on doing my best! I have some poems lined up for this week, so I hope that you enjoy/resonate with them~

I mentioned in an earlier post that I started growing some small plants. As an update, several of the seeds that I planted have sprouted (but I don't have any flowers yet). Watering them is one of the first things that I do every day, and since they first started sprouting, they have looked different every single time. My ever-changing (albeit tiny) garden has given me something simple to look forward to every day since it's different each time, and I definitely recommend starting one as a little summer project!

I hope that my blog grows as well as my plants have (they have leaves already, which is exciting) and has some flowers soon (cheesy, I know).

Anyway, thank you (again)!

Sending good vibes to you all,

j.p
