No Simple Pleasures

[absolute zero]

I recall when I
wasn’t starving; when life
was more than just something
to complain about.

Now, every snowflake is
like when you smile
at the most inopportune time.

It’s nothing more than
Stealing candy and seeing if
You can destroy the evidence
Before you get caught.

And sometimes,
everything is cold and uninterested
Glances from lovers that have
reduced you to ashes in
Record-timing.

And soon, it’s Winter.
You know, beautiful and
bitter as the day that follows
Suit only to pull you through
The roof.

Now, the future is close
Enough to taste, and
Friends are fireflies that
Dim under rain.

And sometimes,
everything is rose and sunflower
scented dryer sheets,
that sneak into your
favorite t-shirts for you to
find when you really need to.

That was cool man...Simple pleasures

[~Eloquent]

you have such an abstract way of writing that i cant always get what your sayin
it reminds me of the old,modern poetry
not to many people on the site i can say that about
for the most part alot of people do their own thing and use their own format
not sayin your not original cuz you definitely are...

reading it at the beginning reminded me of like a guilty consience or somethin
only you know what you did but your face shows the remorse in plain view to the others
if they pay enough attention

lots of poems gettin slept on
this shouldnt be slept on
but i couldnt understand this as a whole ill have to read again
