I

AM
TIRED
>_<

what is a smile?

A smile is a field of sunflowers
dancing beneath the morning skies.
A smile is a tainted wall of sin
that borders truths from spiteful lies.
A smile is a warm, thoughtful embrace
when the world's frozen all over
A smile is a traitor's bladed knife
that stabs you while under cover.

melancholic rainy days

The heavens sob as I
peer outside from my window.
The sound of teardrops falling
sounds like a beat from a beaten up drum.
For whom does the heavens cry? I wonder,
as I gaze upon the rivers
of our neighbors' rooftop.
I wish I could be there
to comfort the sky, and bring back
the smiling morning star.
