Shine

"silence of me"

I start a day full of gray sunshine

The glare is so strong I can’t open my eyes fully

I feel half asleep

I put on my sunglasses

I exhaled a sigh of relief  after holding the smoke in

Even far away beauty and sunshine fill my thoughts

I see the clouds break

I feel the sun on my mind

I feel you thinking about me

I can’t remember the last time a kiss felt right

I dream of connecting the blurry lights so your in focus

I miss you when I want you

I throw a crab apple at a group of kids playing street hockey

Drive away laughing under the influence of my ever growing tolerance to my pills and a sanity that I can’t seem to find in one place

Formative thoughts

Informative years

Learning from screwdrivers and drugs

Growing up slow while the world is even slower

Sea and slumber

Cities and lights

Poverty and fights

Pretty girls and numbers

Slow motion reality

Ocean’s of introspective analyses

Float me to the top of the clouds

Leave me be to find who, what and why

float me to the top of the clouds, you are a tall poet

Now this is more a realistic piece here.
I read quite a bit of poetry on here, nothing like this.
This is real and what I call poetry in motion. I like this alot.

I wasn't sure about this at first, about the way it's laid out. But after reading it a few times, I like the way it meanders on through at its own pace. I loved the line "I throw a crab apple at a group of kids......" this pulled me back to here and now half way through before the poem continues....and the final 3 lines are excellent. Overall, i liked this a lot....
