Havent posted in a while so i thought i'd post a billion (or less). Most of them are ancient. Some new ones though:)

Who Turned the Lights Off?

I’m writing this in the dark

With my eyes closed,

Literally and figuratively

I suppose.

I wish I had never introduced

You to her

You two are perfect.

You’re into her.

So into her that you don’t see

Me.

Because I’m in the dark

Tea

Give me power

Keep me warm

Encourage me

To break the norm

Force my eyes

Open wide

Help me spill

What’s inside

lost

A little

Boy named

Tom lost his

Balloon.

Wind

Walk the dog, Rake the leaves

And I’ll cool you with my breeze.

Pitch the tent, help it grow,

I’ll knock it down with one strong blow.

Climb the tree at break of dawn

Feel it shake with gentle yawn

Lay in grass with calming hush

I’ll bend the blades as bye I rush.

Watch the car go speeding past

Feel me chase it with a blast

The nothing with you all around,

When it moves it makes no sound

But upon when glancing ear

Then is when one can hear

Most gentle whisper ever heard

Upon the wings of flapping bird

The thing that makes the waves crash down

Upon the shore, an easing sound

Such soft power solely found

Within the wind to which I’m bound

flight

I’d love to fly

But how can I?

In a cage

I’ve been here

Twelve years

Learning

In a cage

I see the outside

Through the thin wires,

The latch is open

I don’t dare move

Soon a hand will come and push me out

I’ll wait until then

How can I possibly leave?

I’ve known no other place

They want me to be free

I’m fine here

In my cage

It’s the distance that broke them

I could slice with skates or toss a dart

But they could never pierce your heart

Its frozen cold

Or so I’m told

By my friend you tore apart
