Wish

by wordman2022

This is my one true wish,
As I know and understand,
This light to be my home,
As a knowing up there in
The galaxy is me. And I am
Up there in my bones
Built from stars.

Midnight Swim

by wordman2022

One thing my wife and I
Used to do was go to a
Private lake at midnight
And go for a cool, relaxing
Swim. It was so peaceful
Under the moonlight. We
Don’t do it anymore, but
The memories remain of
The days of youth.

Soul

by wordman2022

A person enters a forest
To lose his mind and find
His inner self. After all,
We came from the forest
And our soul came from
The stars.

Creating

by wordman2022

I create little vacuums
Cupped between my hands
That turn into little
Solar systems and
Then let them go.
It’s exhausting work.

Locked Unit

by wordman2022

no track of time

entombed darkly

faint sticky sounds

impending nudge through

pop slimy gooey squeeze

down to dirt city with

barbed wire godless creatures

dragged into a locked unit

I’m stripped of everything

except my clothes and a

shred of dignity and thoughts

they won’t let me see the stars

I don’t dare tell them I’m a poet

if they know, the subhuman

soultakers would subvert the truth

Stars Everywhere

by wordman2022

Look up in the sky at night and
Find billions of stars lighting
Up the universe. People on
Earth wish upon a star. Other
People believe their future is
In the stars. Stars are used by
Sailors to navigate the seas.
We have given names to all
The stars. We would be lost
Without the twinkling stars.
