a new poem: “Ghosts” by Thomas Typewriter

poetry

I squeezed myself small

from the ghosts I hoped to hide.

My parents misunderstood why I cried

never seeing the intruders at all.

new poem: “Heartache” by Thomas Typewriter

poetry

Paint as many layers over your heart as you desire.

Who is to say it needs to remain as prior.

Except…

A change in color matters very little

to something you believe so brittle.

new poem: “Why now?” by Thomas Typewriter

poetry

Why now?

Everywhere I go, a stream of words.

Everything I do, a river of words.

Everything I feel, a flood of words.

Again I ask,

“Why now?”

new poem: “Wedding day” by Thomas Typewriter

poetry

On the playground we were wed.

I was waiting for your sister,

but found you instead.

We exchanged vows of self-defeat.

We threw a bouquet no one could eat.

For us, everyday went on repeat.

I still think of that day.

You and I clad in grey,

every raindrop waiting for its day.

And I say:

Was it always destined to float away?
