Regrets and follies
Almost always
Start with the same
Words
On my tongue
Hoping what I screw up
Can be undone
With a hope for the recovery
Quick and fast
My mouth feels full of cotton
And my falling past
Regrets and Follies

Lavender Skies
It might not be alright
It might be tough
The evening sunset
Was full of rust
That fell in my eyes
As I gazed upon it
The glaze had fallen of the sky
Into a hazy crimson
Shadow of the sun
How that night began
I would not have wanted to begun
But the lavender night rolled
In the evening gently
As the cold air
Crisp as it lays low in the fields
The lavender night
Is bringing me a feeling
That I can heal
Building Towers
Building towers
For many hours
Days
Months
Years
From now
Those towers will sway
And fall
In a new lifetime
After us all
So everyday is an opportunity
To see where we can plant
Our towers that rise
From sky to sea
Mastermind
A mastermind
In time
Will see something new
When all the words fall flat
And the world keeps spinning around
A mastermind can see through
The distracting sound
Of pop culture and it’s dissonance
When in reality
We need someone
With simplicity and innocence
Free Time
Free time
From time to time
When the world spins slower
In my own view
And mind
When a new world
Opens
Another closes
When we start it ip
We will know it
Hopeful Days
Hopeful days
Come in so many ways
From the light of the morning
To a setting sun
What comes up next
Is the day we have won
So don’t let go
That there are better days
Ahead
Straight up in the morning
And out of bed
Arrive
Arrive on time
Arrive within the window
To achieve the stated goal
Set out
For today
Awaiting
What are we awaiting
Stating a new case
Waiting on hope
In a hopeless place
How can we await for
Something new
When all we see
Is all that we ever knew
So don’t give up
And stay steadfast
Don’t hit the breaks
Hit the gas
Don’t await what
Will never
Come to you
Blink
Blink and it’s gone
The chance to change
The way ahead
Instead
We hesitate
And wait
For another chance
All the while
The world moves on
Free Form
Free form
From the get go
Learning to grow up
Taking it all in now
For time is needed
To understand the present
