Stream of Conciousness

Post by trentm32 »

Does anyone else just, when you have a spare moment, take a pen and scibble down a poem; just whatever comes to your mind. I did that about five minutes ago (I'm at work) and this is what came out...

-----

One more day to be normal

Because I came to be too late,
I had one more day to be normal.
I was still unable to change your fate,
But I still had one more day to be normal.

You left without a sad goodbye,
You left with no goodbye at all,
On the wings of doves to fly to heights
I can’t reach for the coming Fall.

My life will change, of that I’m sure,
For which way, I have no clue,
But to live without you,
it will never do, my God, it will never do.

-----

does anyone else do this with their spare seconds? i dunno, just being a work filing papers dulls my brain; so whenever I can I try to scribble something halfway intelligible/creative down to make me feel less like a cog in the corporate machine.
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

The best poetry is when you arnt trying, just writing. I find that I'll write things I didnt know I had in me. Its like opening up the flood gates to your sub-conscious for 30 seconds.
-Sarah

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.
