Here’s some poems from when I was recently inspired while looking for a jar of mayonnaise in the fridge (that’s the thing about inspiration: it really does come out of nowhere).
The Moment Before
They say it’s darkest before dawn
And right now I just can’t see
I guess the moment before my dreams came true
Was the moment I fell asleep
The moment before I finally made it
I just about gave up
The moment before I couldn’t take anymore
I thought I’d never have enough
How does the moment before…
you lose your mind feel
Prior to when perceived becomes real
You know it hurts the most
the moment before it heals
Obsession, do you know why it’s you I ignore
Anticipation, that’s the gal I adore
Because the moment after could never compare
with the moment before
Hindsight
I feel like I’m trying to find a million days
a million ways
But really I’m just running out of time
And I’m writing all the words
to songs I’ve never heard
But they seem to always play inside my mind
And if hindsight is 20/20
Then I must be going blind
But the past falls clear upon my ears
Like snowfall in summertime
My whole life
written in Latin
in between the lines
On parchment paper past its prime
Where’s my butter brick road
If my version is in black and white
Bullets and Blessings
