Drift Away...

Owl

Where has the day went, Oh owl please stay?
I miss sick syringes, sad songs and old ways.
There is no more May, only fall reaching town,
and it kills me when I see you’re no longer around.

But you’re no longer bound, will your eyes keep me warm?
Or will you fly away, finding food with the swarm.
Frankly I am torn, however wrong I act,
It’s only when I’m lonely that I show what i lack.

I lacked your cute daze when you stared at the moon.
I stayed up all night and hoped you’d call soon.
I missed candid colors, when the sun woke the tide,
and I confide where your hurt heart resides.

I wonder at night, do you think of me owl?
Am I far to foul, a fallacious freak and you scowl?
I fell like the rain when you no longer came,
and when I come up I just don’t feel the same.

And I take the blame. Oh owl can’t you see?
When I slipped off your tree I was no longer free.
I was trapped in your branches like a snake or a dove,
and when I hit the ground I knew it was love.

I know you’re now gone, I’m wrecked and reminded,
but I wrote you this letter, in hopes that you’ll find it.
And if you ever do, I’ll dream that you care,
as I’m lying awake in hopes you’ll be there.

Notes

Old poem I wrote about a year ago

You felt that everyone knew the very worst in you
and that life, love, and hopeful change had become a pulled up root
And although the trunk of the tree had appeared strong and fair
when stripping off the color filled bark you couldn’t find what was there

The axe of time had made you blind and lifted you from these parts
and with its slash, your leaves drifted fast, leaving your lonely heart
the roots hide, the branches reside, expecting an angel’s call
but the wind was there and with it’s care, made sure you still stood tall
You tried to tilt and slant away from where your soul was cut
but the loving wind had saw you bend and wanted to keep you up
You asked it why it kept you high; you wanted to fall away
you wanted to burn with the termites and worms, or let your body decay

But the wind had blown around the world and nothing it saw was more true
Then the simple fact that that silly axe couldn’t take a beauty like you
And over time, the cambium would bind, repairing what was lost
And the wind would lay, and watch all day, as your sap formed a gloss

Your heart was fixed, and you were happy, every thing the wind had wanted
But you then grew mature, and theres no cure for a pride thats left undaunted


So the wind blew away, and thought all day, as the cold truth ripped him apart
the feelings grew worse, the love formed a curse and contorted his once-caring heart

He slaughtered the world, he pushed and he twirled, apathetic to what he had become
A fucked up wind with some fucked up sins…. and he had only just begun
The people would scatter, and the wind would feel flattered as everyone noticed his hate
Demented he chuckled, and blew through seat buckles, leading them all to their fate

Off in the distance he forgot your existence and the times you’d sit together
viscerally loved, the stars were above because the wind pushed back the bad weather
Those times had all past, but for you they would last, as nostalgia brought back your need
But because the wind left, you and him grew bereft unknowing of where it would lead
Ignorant of his rage, you sat and felt caged, wanting to see him again
But as he came near you screamed with a fear now knowing where the monster had been

When he saw you with sight, his heart lit up bright, feeling remorse for what he had done
but it was too late, he saw his poor mate, and she had fallen in love with the sun
The wind wasn’t surprised, he looked in your eyes, and saw that some pain was still there
But he knew its sad roots, stomped on by boots because the wind was off pining somewhere

So the wind ran again, as his heart caved in because nothing else meant fucking shit
And with its last flow he fell down below, and his happy ending broke into bits

Dear  ______,     

I’m just an astronaut to your galaxy

I know I will always only see selected parts of you, even though it’s always been my dream to explore you - every planet you hide, every star you let shine for me .

You let me sit on the realms of this confined world to watch your beauty sparkle, yet I know when the day comes if I stare too distinctly at the closest stars I will lose all sight of reality and never see you again.

- But seeing you at a distance keeps me unsatisfied

It kills me inside and leaves me feeling half empty, but as long as I have a telescope I’ll always see it as half full: so here I sit, day by day - alone.

Oh Darling Darkness, can’t we twirl together? Can’t I be pulled in by the gravity of your love? We’ll steal the light and bring ourselves together in harmony if you just give me a chance.

I need you, and a thousand light years wouldn’t change that because you we are infinite - and that is why I love you, and I hope you feel the same way.

Sincerely,
Your Secret Sin of an Astronaut
