My body softens as I see you smile.
The voice plucks and calms my nerves.
It's my universe.
The sun rises and scatters the cosmos across my soul.

A poem a week keeps the therapists away?
My body softens as I see you smile.
The voice plucks and calms my nerves.
It's my universe.
The sun rises and scatters the cosmos across my soul.
A Tiny Cosmos
It's 3 a.m., and I'm trapped in a tiny cosmos with a soundscape and real-time scenery.
I see waves floating and weather changing through my closed eyes.
Colors dance in their own directions.
History
The history between you and me was a broken clock.
Doves rested in the shadow.
The breeze carried it away and spooked them.
A blanket of warmth covered me.
I listened to other poets' joy and pain.
New history was made.
Now is the perfect time to daydream
Safe in my imagination, I write and rewrite the stories.
Itโs always easier to smile than to cry.
Now is the perfect time to confess
Like a failed poem that rambles on and on...
Perfect Timing
Now is the perfect time to go berserk
Like a failed rapping session,
like someone who streaks and cries on the street,
Whoโs quickly deemed insane.
Now is the perfect time to introspect
To drift in this moment,
to be in love that is as careless and cruel as time.
I watched the seasons change in silence,
until you showed up and kicked me.
I kept turning, seeing new horizons.
Until it stopped
Until you left me
Inertia
I lay in the middle of a vast land, not moving, like a stone.
I let the grass grow around me.
The raindrops nourished me,
The sun shone on me,
The cruel thunderstorm whipped me.
I wake up again
and again
until the sun rises.
I blow out the candle so thereโs no more shadow.
I count sheep in another language.
I wake up again.
Iโm watching a YouTube video about AI thatโs apparently using a lot of electricity, and stupid men are going to destroy the human race. I think about the room temperature and a beautiful love story.
Insomnia
The darkness envelops me.
I feel safe and energetic.
But an invisible cloud is forming in the dark sky.
I light a candle and stare at it so it stops spiraling.
I close my eyes, but theyโre still wide open.
The monsters are collaborating to stop me from dreaming.
They form a giant shadow.
I step out of the revolving door that's been taking me in circles.
I let it be known that I'm okay being ugly.
A Scar
A scar invades my brain cells and expands until it covers my face,
my torso,
until it's all over me.
The color deepens when I try to remove it.
I wish I were a time traveler,
but I wouldn't be who I am without it.
It's a paradox I have to live with.
The ruin
The remains of the structure are still there,
hollow in the middle.
Soft rains gradually fill the hollow.
The outline is shaky.
I keep some of the debris.
The rain dries under the bright sun.
Concrete is poured.
I rebuild it, brick by brick.
Longing
It's more than a simple wish
I don't want just one cloud, I need the whole sky
The sun behind a building cuts the ground
I see you in both shadow and light
It starts to rain and the boundary disappears
A whisper as loud as thunder
She imagines the hammer on their heads, one by one.
It's the only way she can sit in a public place without being bothered,
the only way she can take out the trash without being bothered,
do anything without being bothered, really
She imagines the hammer on their heads, one by one.
Seeing Red
A pounding heart and a clenched fist
She can snap anytime, like a branch
She is always being looked at, being followed
She should watch her back, they say
He didn't mean any harm, they say
Someone gives her a hammer so she can hammer away both the not-nice and the nice guys
We sleep and then morning comes
Dew gathers on the grass
only to vanish quickly
before we even notice
Morning Dew
The summer air is harsh and coarse
The heat stands still
I make an effort to move
Sweat clings to my skin
The sun sets,and evening comes
The air grows gentler and all feels alive again
Prairie
Lying in the prairie all day
Staring at the line between the sky and the tall grass
The lack of obstacles confuses me
The soil takes advantage of the occasion and swallows me
I enjoy its embrace
A wildflower grows
An ancient feeling is ignited
A quiet warmth begins to take root
a soft reboot is performed
i suppress the errors and watch the system fail
Syntax of Feelings
it moves on a whim
a system boots and a script is executed to clean it out
logic has been thrown out the window
and the script is full of errors
it doesn't clean, boost or improve
but runs constantly
i try to schedule a pause, to no avail
error logs clog the system
I want to be invited even if only in your dreams
I want us to play with water
until it's warm
until our fingers sparkle
until they're wrinkled
until we're content
Want
I want to make sure it's being said
I want to dim the sun and the stars so you can see me
I want to live in your thoughts every day
I want to be a jester in your court
I want to be the piece of memory that lingers when you feel loved
She dances and teases everything
Buds compete to emerge between the cracks in the stone
awkward, and blossoming
I wish I were an evergreen
Spring
Seasons are travelers
Weather is indifferent
I've been drenched in the rain, scorched under the sun, and died in a foreign land
Now the ice has melted, and the breeze passes me by
Feelings thaw, only to be burnt again
Everyone pauses for a few seconds to declare that it's raining
I listen to the tapping on the windowpane
My words slip away with each drop
Each one seems to wash away my hanging grey
The city is new again
Rain
Heavy rain pours
The city is attacked by soft silver needles
Streets are decorated with tiny puddles
Water splashes as cars drive by
Children jump up and down in them afterward to revive the splashes
A dog does a full-body shake to get rid of the raindrops
why are people trashing Vivarium, it has a decent plot and great visuals, i give it 6/10

You're a real fictional character
We shrink into a baby and a cradle in my experiment
I transform you into a chic gangster
a Joan of Arc
The superpower you possess
A sudden gust of wind twists the dust around
A random piece of music stirs feelings
A real slow dance starts
A corny love song
You quietly exploded and scattered about my brain
Like cotton candies
Like fluffy clouds
Like dewdrops,
their tiny reflections
The sun was mellow
The moon was temperate
Rivers murmured
Doves smiled
The air was precious again
The ground vibrated
I wish I sang like an opera singer
