To you,

. . .

This feeling…

I am unable to explain it to you. It isn’t that I think you wouldn’t understand me, but there’s no coherent way to say it. I could tell you I am lonely, but that’s not really it. I spend each and every moment of my life in proximity to people, whether it be physically or through a screen. It is impossible to be truly solitary in our modern world. Yet, regardless of what I say, I still feel alone. But it is more than that. Each conversation – each battle – fought tirelessly to prove I’m okay to others when I’m not. A wall is raised, separating the true me from my friends, from my family, from you.

I’m sorry. It was never your fault, and I hope you do not convince yourself so. All this time I was given to heal, I wasted, instead beating myself into the mud. You said you were always going to be there for me, but what good is that when I am not there for myself? And so I let my thoughts eat away until I was left hollow. I don’t blame you for leaving, you had enough on your platter mending your own broken soul. All I did was pull you back onto the boat as it sunk into the crashing waves.

Time has moved slowly as of late. As I write this, the rain sputters against the roof slowly, powerfully…”Llovió, con lentitud poderosa,” a favorite quote of mine. I have found a new peace within the passing of time, and the rain reminds me of it. It is what led me to write this letter to you in the first place. That rain, the clock ticking, music, it will all help me heal in due time. 

And with that, I wanted to say goodbye. This will be the last you hear of me.

Sayonara,

RPH

Daily Poetry Day 20: Love?

I often ponder the meaning of love

it doesn’t seem depicted correctly

the media certainly gets it wrong

What is love?

kindness

giving

caring

or so I’m told

I care about others

but I can’t call it love

not how it’s described

Daily Poetry Day 19: Insanity

Have you ever thought about it?

it's the thing I mentioned earlier

you know what I'm talking about

it has been driving me to insanity.

Oh of course you don't know

why would you know about it?

I never really told you the story

well it's far too late for that now.

.

.

.

Please go away

I don't need you

I'll be fine alone.

My biggest lies.

Daily Poetry Day 18: Storm

A storm looms over the horizon

its brooding torments my brain

yet those around me don't see it.

Daily Poetry Day 17: The Forest's Orchestra

As brittle air stings my nostrils,

with the sun rising in the morning,

I only hear vehicles whir violently.

Surrounded by concrete and plaster,

I am unable to hear the songbirds sing.

A once peaceful forest, polluted by us.

I yearn to hear the forest's orchestra

undisturbed by human destruction.

What have we done?

Daily Poetry Day 16: Tick Tock

Tick tock goes the clock

three hands unstopping

the wheel of time

I sit and stare at the clock

watching seconds pass by

waiting for life's blessing

But it never comes

i must live myself

not hope for miracles

Life is experience.

Without experience,

you fail to live

So make experiences

travel the globe

meet new people

Break your routine

stray from the path

and learn to live.

Daily Poetry Day 14: Dreams

Be who you wish to be

by your own influence

do not allow intrusion

Grasp onto your dreams

push towards your goals

work your all to achieve

I believe in you.

Daily Poetry Day 13: Lone King

Weary eyes wander

seeking sanction

in the eyes of another

Atop a velvet pedestal

a cracked crown sits

scars of battles past

The king's mind drifts

into the great expanse

a euphoric image plane

He dances forth

for lack of yield

he learns of death

Love is beyond his grasp

forever alone he shall be

until his lone, dying breath

Daily Poetry Day 12: Fortress of Stone

Manipulators pick apart the brain

like a pickpocket picks a pocket

masters of their corrupt craft.

They spot and tug the strings

creating obedient puppets

the puppeteers of the naive

I have lived and I have learned

experience shatters a heart

but empowers it to solidify

My fortress of stone

risen in ashes of love

shall falter nevermore.

Daily Poetry Day 11: Wish Upon the Sky

A spark zips across the starry horizon

at the dark window sill, a child sits

wishing upon it for health and peace

Each night she waits for that spark

to cross the night sky once again

the moonlight glistening in her eyes

Beneath a clouded night she weeps.

With her wish left wholly unfulfilled,

faith becomes naught but fiction.

Daily Poetry Day 10: No Title

I remember

I remember

I remember

yet I fail to act.

I oft sulk about whomst I've lost

a shell presented to new friends.

Seldom they witness my hollow

I rather hide than face I, myself

Spread thin I am

butter to toast

unappreciative

to thy kindness

I do not act

therefore I just…

I simply reminisce

Daily Poetry Day 9: Squandered

Numb to the pain

unified lives

needn’t of strain

for that I strive

Unwavering hearts

conjoined by love

begins to start

families of doves

A surreal daydream

what does it mean?

For I was crumbled

and tossed downstream.

Daily Poetry Day 8: Shards of a Fragmented Mind

I am shattered

like a pane of glass

the pieces scattered,

never whole again.

Shards lacerate my mind.

The wounds eventually heal,

but never full, leaving scars.

Fragments of pain haunt me.

Those who stood equal,

my dear pack of hounds,

turned to resent me

by the mind of a jackal.

This broke the glass pane

that harbored my soul.

Broken, leaving behind

shards of a fragmented mind

•Blix

A/N: This poem can't fully convey my mind, and I may possibly write more following this if it crosses my mind again in the future. The title, "Shards of a Fragmented Mind," is taken from the title of the poetry book I created for a Creative Writing class. The book showcased a mishap collection of my poetry that really shows that my thought process is very fragmented and random. Honestly this daily poetry thing is doing something similar.

Daily Poetry Day 6: Sunflower

Rise, rise, all rise

face the sun as it rises

bask in the gentle heat

and rise up for the sun

Embrace, embrace

embrace that warmth

shine under midday

embrace the growth

Fall, fall, all fall

fall with the sun

as it drips below

into the planet

Rest, rest, all rest

rest away a hard day

reflect on your work

and let night take hold.
