Farewell

Saying farewell is only inevitable,
But sadness is not required.
Take goodbyes in stride,
And find new beginnings for the ride.

Winding Down

Coming to a close,
And we're all just exhausted.
Let's take some time
And enjoy this one rhyme.

--CsMiREK

Sorry For The Wait

Sorry is what I say,
For when I'm feeling silly.
The feeling I get when I make people
Wait is why I feel sorry.

--CsMiREK

Insanity

Insanity defined
By solemn ties
Those underlined
From those awake late in the night.

--CsMiREK

Hunger

Pangs of distress
Found often in night
Of which I relay
May utter dismay.

--CsMiREK

Rain

Rainy days
Are quite a pain
Interfere with my life
No doubt a shame.

--CsMiREK

Time Travel

Come take me away,
To a land faraway.
Where dinosaurs walk
And dodos squawk.

Where androids can dream,
Of electric sheep,
And clowns can throw pies of cream,
While little children sleep.

Take me away,
So I won’t have to see,
Children dismayed,
And ailing retirees.

Let’s go further back
To a simpler time,
Where dinosaurs walked,
And dodos squawked.

--CsMiREK

So close

We were so close,
But it wasn't meant to be.
Maybe next year they say,
But right now it's time to scream.

Let your anger out,
Let your madness shine,
Staying quiet won't help you,
So scream until you're fine.

--CsMiREK

Out the Door

I lived in a house

Like any you’d see

White picket fence

On a hilltop with trees.

A young lad I was

Without care nor fear

Until the day

I saw a giant deer.

Hooves brandished with fire

And a glare full of ice

It spoke to me once

And beckoned me thrice.

Out the door I went

Into the world

A myriad of insanity

All madness unfurled.

It struck me silly

How much I hadn’t seen

The world poured open

An amazing dream.

Undefined

Variables onto themselves
Have no meaning;
Their voices not yet found.

Undefined is what we call them,
For that truly is what they are,
But people too might be this way.
Undefined is what I mean to say.

From our birth,
We are but a blank sheet,
An unwritten page
In the world around us.

Unlike a variable however,
It may seem
We are always undefined,
And no one can tell us we're not.

--CsMiREK

To the lost

Among the ashes
Some will say,
That nothing matters,
Not today.

War and turmoil
Leaves wounds unseen,
People lost
And wishing for a dream.

To the lost
I wish to say,
That the world has not ended
Not yet, not today.

To those still here,
Let's not forget those
Lost and unheard,
Those lost among their woes.

--CsMiREK

Spring

Spring is here,
Or so it seems
The clouds have parted
Showing the Sun's bright gleams.

Though where I stand,
This might just be hope
The winter chills,
Will just have to cope.

Flowers and leaves
Are not yet seen,
But patience alone
Will keep me keen.

--CsMiREK

Serious Matters

A day without shame,
Pretty much of fame,
Ridiculous acts,
Insane impacts,
Likely to get you kicked out.

Free reign to play tricks,
On those close to you,
Or to fill a fix,
Let's just not give them the flu.
So go out and be merry, it's April Fools.
