I wanted rust and rainy days,
you wanted trust and golden rays.
Dissimilar, a thousand ways,
but 'him and her,' was here to stay.
And we were just a single cell,
solitary, fleeing hell.
Amalgamations, chasing, swelled.
Will they catch up? Time may not tell.
+
A back-to-basics chase,
a race to truth.
A hunt for honesty,
for home, ensues.
What nagging uselessness
lives at your core?
Refutes your all, asks,
"What are you for?"
+
A growing redness in my blue
would turn me purple, just like you.
Slow, steady fusion would imbue
with patience those in anxious queues.
I hate the type to cut in line,
in trafficked life, out of their minds.
Horns blasting, screaming, but it's fine.
Oh, woe, to be so alkaline.
+
If I'm the basics,
where's the rest?
These concrete faces
know no jest.
At the behest of
stressed complaints,
invest to seal
what freedom taints.
+
Speaking of, my heart was deeply corrupted
by the time your gentle hands had cupped it,
and when cancer bites,
what answers might you have?
To my rotting, foul, necrotic query,
do you fancy yourself the feedback fairy?
Not a problem I'm
involved in you couldn't solve?
When I'm divided by zero,
how will you interfere? Oh,
my love, your math is often wrong.
Is it the sign of your hero
to up and disappear? Oh,
here's to pushes and shoves,
to stories and to songs.
About the Creator
Jacob Sherman
The desire to read, and perhaps to write, should be cultivated and nurtured with care throughout every stage of life. For my part I will inject what strangeness and truth that I can into our written history. Expect no constants but honesty.
