Poem: The Sound Of Sleeplessness

Poem: The Sound of Sleeplessness

The whirring of a ceiling fan

Revolving at full speed

Is the sound of sleeplessness

That plays in place of dreams.

Poem: Unspoken Lines #5

A Haiku // The One about Your Eyes

“I like you best as

You are tonight, eyes glowing

Like the stars above”

Poem: Summer Sun

I first felt that I had woken up

When I looked into your wide eyes

That seemed, to me, to glow

As warmly as the summer sun

Shining from its highest point

On the clearest possible afternoon.

Poem: Moving Mountains

You said you’d move mountains for me

Because you thought it was what I wanted to hear –

But I didn’t need you to fix my problems,

As you were so keen to try to do;

You were becoming a mountain blocking my path,

And all I wanted was for you to move.

Poem: Waiting for the Rain

I sat waiting for the rain to come

Because the rumbling of thunder

Seemed to come from just beyond

My door; I expected the darkness

Of the sky to produce some kind

Of downpour, but none came.

I sat waiting for the rain to come

And wash away my expectations that

The sky would stay so dauntingly gray;

That life would be this way until

A wave of relief flooded it; that I

Would continue to spend my days

Like this, waiting for the rain.

A Plant Update and Another Thank You~

//A non-poetry post

Hello, hello!

Thanks so much for 75 followers! As I've said before, I appreciate that you've taken the time to read my writing and stuck around for future posts. I'll keep on doing my best! I have some poems lined up for this week, so I hope that you enjoy/resonate with them~

I mentioned in an earlier post that I started growing some small plants. As an update, several of the seeds that I planted have sprouted (but I don't have any flowers yet). Watering them is one of the first things that I do every day, and since they first started sprouting, they have looked different every single time. My ever-changing (albeit tiny) garden has given me something simple to look forward to every day since it's different each time, and I definitely recommend starting one as a little summer project!

I hope that my blog grows as well as my plants have (they have leaves already, which is exciting) and has some flowers soon (cheesy, I know).

Anyway, thank you (again)!

Sending good vibes to you all,

j.p
