Evolving Emotions: Regretful “I”
I
Question her lack of
Reciprocation. I made a
Declaration about my
Intentions and yet her dull
Reaction leaves me in my
Emotions. Is further
Action necessary? Or should I stir in my
Ambitions and keep
Caution close to the chest? For the
Duration that I remain
Fixation is all I know.
Rumination about what could have been if I had
Conviction in my speech. What could have been of this
Situation if I had told her? My only
Communication was a pitiful
“I…”.
Evolving Emotions: Overwhelming Prospects
Smothered in paper
Opening and closing
My laptop and textbook
Ubiquitous
Cups of coffee surround me
Highly caffeinated, sleep deprived students
Talk and walk quickly
Obviously overwhelmed and
Doing all they can
On the path to graduation…
***
Stumbling upon an
Open space
Magnificent newness
Unknown to me
Cautiously approaching what is
Hardly familiar
Too many places
Objects
Sights to behold
Endless
Exploration to embark on
***
Sorrowful words
Over who I could have been
Mulling over who I could be
Unbridled
Creation
Happening now
To become
Obsolete is likely
But to become
Extraordinary would be spectacular.
Evolving Emotions: The Inventor’s Mind
Majestic but plain
Concrete but finicky
Mysterious but disclosed
Triumphant yet bittersweet
Crazed yet sane
Wholesomeness twisted
Into a contortion of the purest will
What is it that you want from me?
A craving that torments your inner satisfaction
A sadistic masterpiece
Of enrapturing composition
Tweaked by the mind
Solidified in the soul
Written on the tongue
Etched in the heart
A chase amidst insanity
Within the mind
Barriers to the complete
The creation
Each intricately aligned
Precisely where intended
For the eye to digest
And for the mouth to gasp in disbelief
The beauty in perfect imperfection
Synonymous antonyms
Arranged for the insane guest
Amidst a chase towards insanity
Evolving Emotions: Resolve
A much-awaited blank slate
A fresh commencement
A new beginning
Millions flock
With hopeful hearts
And passionate gazes
Purchase a membership
Begin an instrument
Preserve the coin
Stop smoking
Quit biting your nails
End negative self-talk
Do better
Be better
Live better
Newfound confidence
In a person, just the same
In a year, just the same
As before
A new package
Wrapping glimmers beneath
An optimistic bow
Inside a gray waste
Previous aspirations
Tossed aside
A mangled mess of guilt awry
Pointlessness is relative
Some cling to goals
Triumph in the struggle
And come out champions of their mind
Most others agree
A new year
Is a number.
Weightless
Baseless
Worthless
The moment motivation grips you
Run with it
Awaiting that square on your calendar
Is an absurd venture
Move your body
And achieve
One life to live
Why spend it waiting?
Evolving Emotions: Not Very Merry
Why must the numbness set in?
Amidst the bountiful wreaths
The warm greetings
And a fireplace to match
Creeping into my mind
Infiltrating my thoughts
Manipulating my chest
Bleeding from my mouth
The eyes dull
The limbs lose concentration
The body stills
A blankness overwhelms
Focus settles
On the gleaming whiteness
Of the open air
Crispness envelops
The winter scene
Of snowy scapes
And a body on its surface
An icy chill works its way into the soul
There is no struggle
No escape
The bitter cold sets in
Solidifying the monstrous mind within
No matter.
Why?
As the children make angels in the snow,
The families rejoice in melodious activity,
And the merriment of all relaxes the world,
Am I here
On this Earth
Without a joy in my heart?
No matter.
