Time is a
wilting flower.
It roots itself
in every man’s
garden,
then leeches off
other’s nutrients.
Near his end,
his petals fall to the
earth.
Like shattered glass,
our lives are
fragile petals.
Defensive, but not whole.

For the past few days
I have felt no fear.
I haven't felt
much at all.
It feels as though
I live behind a
fancy screen,
with troubles not
my own.
What if I’m
distant and tired
because I’m
bored.
Jaded from a
life that I’m not

There's so much
character

lovely room.
As striking as your
wistful complexion,
and your fermenting
personality.
There must be some
thousand stories

Your persona,
a butterfly,
a cloudy day,
a quiet night,
a sweet embrace,
a distraction,
an argument,
a painful night.
You're the blood that
reigns within my
tattered body;
A soothing calm.
You're the spark that lights

There’s an old hunger in my soul;
It calls for darkness and silence;
She rests, so lonesome and unwhole;
They foment beauty and violence.
An invitation to a dream-
Held within the Garden of Eve;
The gentle kettle’s silent steam-

Two thousand two hundred and twenty-two-
Seems like a year so very far away;
The world's forgotten every trace of blue,
And the moon has lost to forever day.
Many families are now broken,
And our passions are automated;
Not many activist... – by Michael Ullom | 3 Views added 1 year ago

Your attention stays within me-
For many days after we've met;
It blankets me during the cold,
It comforts me when I'm upset.
But it never lasts long enough;
It's a fleeting reminder that-
Your attention may not come back,
She may vanish... – by Michael Ullom | 3 Views added 1 year ago

Does the breeze whisper quiet secrets,
That you carry your entire life?
Who trusts a soul's foreign features,
Save the breeze who breathes a warm light;
He caresses your gentle skin,
And lets you know you'll be alright;
Who doesn't love the... – by Michael Ullom | 8 Views added 1 year ago

Oh, to journal excellency-
As an autobiography;
Your words a soft-spoken velvet,
Leaves not a critic to dwell it,
And your grace will stand on its own,
Valiant as a queen with no throne;
You are a dreaming authors bliss,

I journey an awful path uncertain,
A worried traveled trail I fear to trek;
As I near my end she draws a curtain-
And I fear the wind, which cast to lay wreck-
A barrage of doubt on what held certain:

Come the height of the sun's old reign
I return to depths most unchanged,
The parched Earth lasts not without rain,
Yet it is my heart claimed estranged;
I am a garden bed afraid -
To change and grow and grow dismayed.

During the feigning hours of the day,
Where the sun hangs his tiring gaze narrowly above the hills,
A countless concession of cohorts plagued my accosted mind;
And in this state of dark and light, in this realm of fragile possibility,

Between the time
you lay in bed
and the first cracks
of weary eyes
are the times the
world is truly
Alive.
There is:

The sun shines

your back turned.

Oh, how the sun shines brightly upon you!
And every shadow burns before your hue,
In dusk displayed you're a shimmering star,
And come daybreak you peer down from afar
You watch the little planets hum with verve;

I feel like an immortal being,
Juxtaposed with youthful volition,
Meager enough to lack great meaning,
Yet verbose enough for existence.

Flowing softly through a skinless vein;
Ambition not my own, tells me... – by Michael Ullom | 4 Views added 1 year ago

Another day has passed I fear,
Often not does it seem unclear;

Yet life is ageless to the sun;

Where have you gone?
I've lost you once again,

A few erratic nights ago,
I lived where spirits shine and glow;
It was a strange and quiet place,
It was a wise and ancient space.
And in this little, silent world,
I met a kind and silent girl;
Her strange voice was excited joy;
