a day is only a day

[themirrorthief]

a day is  only a day
the wind blows, the sun shines
maybe
a dream is only a dream
but it can leave one
shaken
the subconscious
we can never truly
understand
the depth of nightmares
they speak
so loudly
it can be painful
we wonder
what is really twisting
the inside of our head
as dreams create plays
our minds sort through it all
while we lay in bed
desperation might be
only a pillow away
things long concealed
finally revealed
evil forces
beckon from the shadow
while our inner darkness
warns us
and forces somber
reflection
in the stillness
there is sometimes
so much activity
as our mind produces
possibilities
even some we pray
are to incredible
and so it goes
deep into the night
or even in broad daylight
while we slumber
and somewhere inside
something struggles
mightily
to make sense
of all
this madness

sorry bout the typos...fixed most I hope

[BlackHeart]

It's ok, I guess 😊 as well as your poem, friend. Little brooding philosophy or mind thinking analysis this evening?

[themirrorthief]

sometimes I write things to help maintain my mental attitude...my life has.is one long strange trip fer real

[BlackHeart]

Yes... You got me there 😒 Mine is a constant fight... Me against the world, me against me... You name it 😁

[themirrorthief]

"me against me" I like that

[themirrorthief]

I have defeated myself...kicked my ass good...about time too...and now I am in a prisoner of war campus

[themirrorthief]

I won a battle against myself today...its a lovely feeling

lazy rivers flow
endless and timeless
bringing wetness to the earth
the ancient, generous earth
a place where our ancestors flourished
and where they slumber
laughing quietly
at their prodigy
and all the mysteries
we cannot solve
because we are civilized
in other words, mad
just the way it is
spinning away into the mire
always lacking guidance
and usually
tired

[themirrorthief]

there are no answers
so stop looking
turn yourself
into concrete
no truth in the bible
or women
or tv
or whatever
just more lonliness
confusion
and dis illusionment
just the way
it goes
and damned if it don't show

[themirrorthief]

when love turns rotten
no longer the apple
of anyone's eye
I got friends in low
places
but it doesnt help much
cause i dont drink
never understood why feelng
drunk is such a buzz
vodka makes me crazy
I feel like I understand
russians a little more
lately
beer makes me fat
whiskey makes me puke
vodka does too
guess Im a light weight
holidays are here
somebody help me
before its to late
I need a date
on my way to tomorrow
a little more action
please
a little less sorrow

worse poem ever

[themirrorthief]

its tough these days

the blistering winds

are burning us all

to much begging in the streets

to much fighting too

to many promises

by ancient men

with waning strength

been around to long

all credibility gone

long gone

promises promises

where do they take us

down, down

it wont get fixed

by a smarmy politician

who has been there

already

nearly fifty freaking years!

[themirrorthief]

happy new day
forever and totally
throughout the
cocktail hour
sappy hallmark
tv
i could write something
better
better is a forever
concept
but reality
checks in
with bad news
you get old and die
old comes first
then a nice headstone
have them write some
funny lines there
be entertaining
even after
forever after
quote the ravens
"Nevermore,"
I didnt write that part
some ancient relative did

[themirrorthief]

I lov babies
Cute and innocent
And i lik girls
Cute and hopefully
Not to innocent
I love nature
And a long
Picturesqe drive
With lots of trees
Fields and cows
And lovely
Little streams
Such is tennessee
Where pretty girls
Grow lik wild flowers
And they shine
Lik purest gold
And they sparkle too
And melt softly
In your arms
So softly
Its crazy
