another (very short) poem for today:
how do i soften the memory of you
like fingerprints on glass
barely, barely, barely there
a whisper left behind
today wasn’t the best but i hope everyone else is doing well

short poem
Another cold day, the sky is still grey. Everyone thinks I’m gay…………and it pisses me off!
just a short poem I found. I can’t imagine how heart broken and sad the author must have been.
WHEN I am dead and over me bright April
Shakes out her rain-drenched hair,
Though you should lean above me broken-hearted,
I shall not care.
I shall have peace, as leafy trees are peaceful
When rain bends down the bough;
And I shall be more silent and cold-hearted
Than you are now.
Look! Short poem. Perfect for killing time without committing to heavy reading!
Once there was a man whose
Dreams were realised while he slept
Resplendent façade—
Problems ameliorated as he dreamt
The man would fall asleep
Before the sun went fully down
And woke after it
Had rose and obscured reality known
One night he woke with a start and
Stared into black abyss
Disoriented—
Truth existed there in dark recess
Never did the man dream
Of money nor success again
Now he stays awake
The dreams forgot, the truth retain
