Forecast: dusk till dawn Another poem? Yes, pour a round for the table...  It is decadent to the taste.  We are rocking back and forth Our glasses clinking together  Intoxicated with the promise of more The twinkle in our eyes suggests We know something we shouldn't  Another verse?  Sure, one more for the road Then I'm headed home But it’s no use I'm driving under the influence Of Rhyme and Coke My steps are stumbling Or maybe everyone else is crooked I see colors no one else can see And the roses stop to smell me  My words are blurring together  And I think,  Icouldstaylikethisforever But every now and then I go too far And wind up on the floor Composition book still clutched in my hand I am split in half and can no longer walk Another piece?  It is here when I am about to descend  into a deep sleep Deadly and sweet The kind you never want to end,  that I find my feet And say no.

I collected clay at the banks of the rivers and made pottery,  The pottery became a museum  of grand works and art displays  From the cedar trees I built cities Giant feats of architecture,  Parks where we sat and read literature  Libraries full of historical texts and ancient mythology  Science fiction and poetry That turned into schools and colleges  Dedicated to the arts and varied knowledges Then, a society with cultures and cuisines,  Distinct languages and colloquialisms Then, struck by war, disasters and famine Alien invasions and a zombie apocalypse Yet somehow we still survived.  We rebuilt ourselves from the ashes Stronger this time, able to withstand the fire Gunpowder and brimstone But in the end, the end of our world  was oh so simple.  It was a seed I hadn't se...

December 17, 1965 Dear L It seems I am slowly losing my mind One neuron at a time  It's no wonder you've been gone so long There is so little to do here, nothing to see Least of all me.  Dear L The last time we spoke, You gave me a rose Had I known,  That its petals would fall before you came home  Then I wouldn't have thrown it out so carelessly.  When I walk past the field, it amazes me  How summer's leaves have dried and died Two full cycles of death and life have completed before you and I locked eyes.  Sincerely, S Go to : Imaginary Pen Pal Pt 1
