Don’t Leave

Please don’t leave me
Not until I can see you
I’d love to hold you in my arms
At least just one time
I swear, it will be worth it
At least, it will be an experience
Thoughts of you have kept me alive
But the thoughts are fleeting
So please don’t go, not just yet

Haikus

A while ago, I was going to start a poem exchange with my cousin Jessi, but that didn’t amount to much, just like most things in my life. But I wrote a bunch of haikus that I forgot to post. (I almost forgot to add them to my master list of poems, too.) So they’re late but posted on here now. I also finally remembered to add photos from two years ago. Guess something good did come from today. The day hasn’t been entirely wasted.

Adventures, Part II

A couple years ago, I went on another adventure with another close friend and coworker, John. We went to the same spot along Route 42 that Stephanie and I went to, because it’s one of my favorite places in this world (so far). I got more really nice shots. We went in August instead of October this time, and because my hiking partner wasn’t on crutches, we went up way farther, too. I hope to go on more amazing adventures soon.

Sleeping Life Away

Wake up at nine, can’t keep eyes open
Go back to sleep until eleven
Start nodding off playing Sims
Fall asleep on the couch until noon-thirty
Feel like the day is wasted, so take another nap
Wake up at two, have zero energy to do anything
Stare at the computer screen
Nothing to do but sleep

Higher

The marijuana at night puts me to sleep
And the coffee wakes me the next morning
The Benedryl at work is to calm me
And the Monster to wash it down keeps me awake
I do anything not to feel while staying conscious
Feelings weigh me down when all I want is to float
