Failed to Rise

-

On this day so dark and drizzly
Where morning sits in grey disguise
With air so thick and misty
The sun has failed to rise

On this day so sad and aching
Where darkness fills the empty skies
Where very few have made their waking
The sun has failed to rise

And there he hides with hardly a sound
Watching the moon appear
Gazing at her curves so round
And lonely atmosphere

His one true wish is to join her
And brighten up the night
He’d give up every sunrise after
To stand forever by her side

So on the day the sun has gone
And you look up in the skies
And you wonder what must be wrong
And why he failed to rise

Remember that there is true love
Waiting just for you to find
But you must choose her far above
The joy it is to rise

https://www.theodysseyonline.com/tired-college-student I didn’t know I missed you. I didn’t know I cared. I didn’t know I loved you, Until you weren’t there. I didn’t know your value, Until you ran away. I didn’t know I loved you, Until you wouldn’t stay. I didn’t know I hurt you, Until I saw you cry. I didn’t know I broke you, Until I watched you die.

Weep: It's a Love Story

-
Two trees hunker side by side, Their branches entangling. Complicated love. She is small, with a leafy skirt. Folds of fabric curl up on the ground. Her skirt is a shelter if you can get through the layers of green ribbons. There is a whole new world underneath. She takes risks and the others take advantages. It isn't the smartest way to hurt. A hand fondles her hair and her clothes, But she brushes it off as her body shivers.  Wet.  Cold.  Rain. She is beautiful, but she weeps. The other tree has a strong body and long, muscular arms But he is gentle.  The smallest find their homes in his trunks and on his branches. He is strong.  His arms enveloped her. Cover me in your scent Let me breathe in your beauty He is tall, but yet not tall enough, to shield her from the rain. Sometimes he must be cut to grow bigger and stronger again. Women learn from heartbreaks but men from breaking hearts.  This time he says: I will stay, I will grow.   Grow tall enough to c

Dogs, Days, and Homework

A dog after a nap is like my mind when I learn. Bouncing off the walls of my conscience. Yelping, ears perked, The world seems bigger when you open your eyes Wide enough to hold it. The world is the weight upon the shoulders of the sky. It's that hunchback of cloud, so grey That it meets the endless ocean As if the water evaporates into Misty abyss. My mind evaporates into The fog When I learn too much in one day. I go from four padding paws, Trying to touch every bit of knowledge I can, To a few worn-out feet. My ears droop, full to the brim of information. My nose tips down as I realize A deadline Is just another word For disappointment. Only the bait, Encouraging me to reach out and touch it before  The day gets a chance to say, "That's all I have time for, Do not try to add hours on Or you could be up until tomorrow Just trying," I am the dog who wakes up, Sees the world from the window, Collec
