New

Moments, Minutes, Memories

Life, Love, Lessons

Tonight, Today, Tomorrow

All new.

New to me
New to you
New to do with
what we will

And what will we do?

Do something new.

Memories Unbidden

Am I thinking of you
or is it you thinking of me
Why is it your name
slips in my head so easily

Cliche as ancient history
our time together is to me
yet memories unbidden
refuse to remain hidden

Am I unhappy in my current state?
No that's not it.

Am I longing for times long ago
Again that answer's a resounding no.

Am I uncertain of what's to come?
No one can know how life will go.

Self reflection in every way
and still no answer can I say
to understand this strange situation
inside my crazy brain

Am I thinking of you
or is it you thinking of me
Cliche as ancient history
yet your echoes won't let me be

A Sign of Genius

Looking not needed
It's all at my fingertips
My desk is a mess


Genius is the word
to describe my messiness
just look at my desk


Guess what mommy dear
Scientists have now proven
My messy desk is best

Life Haikus

I'm waging a war

against ravages of time

freeing my true self

Avidly seeking

the bits and pieces of me

left in yesterday

Rediscovering

my life's chemical makeup

in its current state

Liberation and Compromise

You won't find rules already set in stone
In this reality you must create your own
Surprises on the horizon
Adventures at your door
Life is never sedentary
for those who wish to explore.

Sometimes
 it's about compromise
Others liberation
Figuring out
which one
at what moment
takes time
and
dedication.

You won't find rules already set in stone
In this reality you must create your own
Surprises on the horizon
Adventures at your door
Life is never sedentary
for those who look for more.

Not what but Who

What's keeping me here?
Is it lack of talent
or could it be too much?
Is it laziness or
trying too hard?
Is it self pity or
self doubt?
Is it someone else or
just me?
What's keeping me here?

The ability to change your destination
isn't left to anyone but you.
The ability to take the first step
towards the right direction
isn't left to anyone but you.
The ability to crash and burn and
then begin again
isn't left to anyone but you.

What's keeping me here?
It's not a what but who.
Who's keeping me here?
The answer to the question
is you.

This

This is not what I wanted.

This isn't the way it should be.

This is not what I planned.

This isn't  unfolding properly.

This isn't going to last.

This won't be forever.

This isn't just a phase.

This isn't just one of those things.

This won't last forever.

This too shall pass.
