Rubber Ducky Poetry Hour

The future is coming fast
Can we keep up?
Can our love handle it?
The speed of science
Faster than the speed of a thought these days
Technology taking over everything
Love and Lust just words on a screen
The human touch a thing of the past
Soon mayhaps robots to show our love for one another
A movie told it so well Wall-E
Is this what we will become
Gliding by within inches of each other
But never touching
Only speaking through cameras and microphones
Technology is great, don't get me wrong
But it has its place and its time
And that isn't between you and me
As a crutch for our love

Three years have passed
Almost maybe shy a few months
But everyday passing
Your memory fades
From my minds eye
The guilt eats me alive
I think I should keep you alive
Forever more in thought
If not in body
Others tell me this is normal
Natural even
This is part of the process of grief
To not hold onto
What has already moved on
To the other realm
Give me a sign Mother dear
Is it time to let go
Of your memory
Or am I to keep you
Forever close to my heart
With a faded image in mind

Reflecting upon the past
I don't mean yesterday
Or even a week ago
Lets talk a decade or two
When we were so young
Most assuredly dumb
And thought we knew everything
I ponder how life turned out
I never saw this coming
And I wonder if my friends of old
Ever feel the same as me
Now that I am older
I don't feel any wiser
To be true
I feel dumber then a box of rocks
Mayhaps that is true wisdom
To know you are ever learning
I find myself comparing new friends
With old friends
Not that one is better then the other
But I miss my friends of old
And our silly stupid antics
I wonder if I put a call out
A call for a reunion
If it would come to pass
Alas we are all grown up now
Or at least what passes for grown up
With never any time to spare
So here I sit
Wistfully daydreaming

The toilet
A perfect place for deep thoughts
Imagine here I sit
On the porcelain throne
Writing this little diddy
For your entertainment
What could be going through my mind
To possess me to write a poem
While on the toilet
Words...
Just words
To put in some order
To hopefully make sense
To someone other then me
Alas my time on the toilet is at an end
Time to wipe my ass
And get on with my day

PoeticWitch · 07-17-2013, 08:38 AM

Is it possible?
To love someone too much?
It frightens me sometimes
As I dream at night
Nightmares overtake my mind
Terrifying images
Of losing you
Nothing simple
Like losing you to another woman
More like something horrific
Something unreal
Almost right out of a movie
Even silly in some ways
You protecting me from zombies
Or some such
And thus you get eaten for your efforts
I think my mind is a terrible place to be
Lucky for you
You are in reality
Where there aren't any zombies

PoeticWitch · 07-18-2013, 08:49 AM

A part of my heart
A part of my soul
That is who you are to me
Good day or Bad day
Always a part of me

No matter the arguments
No matter the differences of opinions
It just helps us grow stronger
And more confident
In our love for one another

Our silliness
Our affection
Our seriousness
Makes us who we are
Always a part of each other

Our tears
Our upsets
The hugs and comforts
Show that we are here for the long haul
Always a part of each other

Together today
Together tomorrow
Together forever?
One never knows
One day at a time is good enough for me.

Cough cough cough
It's summer
Cough cough cough
And here I am sicker than a dog
Cough cough cough
Already cracked one rib
Cough cough cough
On the way to another
Sniffle and sneeze
Where did that phrase come from?
Sneeze and sniffle
Sicker than a dog?
Cough cough cough
Most dogs are pretty healthy
Cough cough cough
I swear I cough or sneeze one more time
Cough sneeze cough
I am going to scream bloody murder
Sneeze cough sneeze
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
