Object Soup

Posted on January 29, 2022 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

It was a hope

That what my eyes

Glanced

Upon

Was more than just

A temporary

Feeling

But rather

Just an object

Of my gaze

Into the distance

My Juvenile Dreams

Posted on January 29, 2022 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

It wasn’t what

It seems

But my expectations

Always

Swing

Wildly

With hope

And fervor

But those dreams

Somehow just pass

Away without a sound

Into the life

That is

Today

Correctly Incorrect

Posted on January 29, 2022 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

I was not

Certain

It was the right

Decision

Within the moment

Of the correct

Vision

Instead

A incorrect

Goal

Was set

From the onset

To now

Woebegone

Posted on January 26, 2022 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

I’m not sure

Why

But it was never

Quite right

The way the light

Hit was more

Lit

By the smoke

In the air

Now

It was just all

Woebegone

And done

Scintillating and Onerous

Posted on January 26, 2022 by acupofsongwriting

It was bright

Working that day

Some days

Are not that way

Not even close

But I will take the light

Upon the work

That I do

My Chemical Thoughts

Posted on January 26, 2022 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

A chemical thought

Creeps into

My mind

In the time

It takes

To circumnavigate

A rather dull

Existence

Resistance

To the hopes

Of organic

Growth

These chemical thoughts

Have me

By the throat

A Sponge Verse

Posted on January 20, 2022 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Not the typical prose

What I heard

I do actually know

That the soft

Sponge

Of sound

As my ears resounded

Cold hearing

In my breathe

A matter of indifference

Rather than

Upset

Furtive Drinks

Posted on January 20, 2022 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

We snuck

Out the back

With no one looking

Furtive drinks

Was what our minds

Were cooking

So in that moment

We disappeared

Until the night

Was darker

Than the deepest grey

And then our drinks

Were on the way

Wake Up

Posted on January 19, 2022 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

To the snow

And the trees

To the grass

And the hibernating

Bees

Good morning all

Good morning

Indeed

I am Obsolete

Posted on January 18, 2022 by acupofsongwriting

The obsolete

Path

Taken

With one wrong

Turn

Mistaken

For a way forward

Rather a way

Into obscurity

The path laid out

Will be
