"Flock,"
Said the rock
As he fell down a cliff,
And landed with a whiff,
On the ground.
Being earthbound
Was rather boring
And caused some snoring
In the rock that fell from above.
A clone
Of this stone
Or his brother
If you'd bother
Just thought the other was mad.
Cause why, good lad,
Would a stone,
Without bone,
Want to fall down again and again?
"Simple,"
Said the rock,
Who was no longer in shock
From the fact that life was boring.
"When one is soaring,
In the sky up high,
You feel like you fly,
Like the birds in the sky up above."
The rock, a true performer,
The latter, not the former,
Decided to walk away,
From where he lay,
But was unable to
Because he knew
That rocks don't have legs.
These rocks, shaped like eggs,
One forever bragging,
And one forever nagging,
Now lay next to another,
Like brother and brother,
For all of eternity.
And that's the way things should be.

A Moment
Place your hand over mine
Look me in the eye
Open my soul up and
Let it all unwind
Leave me dangling from a string
Wrapped around you, wrapped around my heart
Stretching, pulling,
Snapping
So what are you and I gonna do, my dear?
Literature
the love we were warned about: half empty
do you understand?
you’d disappear on city buses
tresses of your hair in pockets on trains, too
you’d get sleep lust ‘round your eyes
and parts of you would die when they would say
or wouldn’t say
they love you
you’ve flicked others’ cigarette ash
from way behind your teeth to trap
your voice inside your tongue
so when the time would come
they’d feel so alive
they’d want to quell the monsters
***
he held you in his arms
underneath a blanket
and you can’t remember which
but in the hum of maybe something
and the hum of passing cars
you slipped your body under him and begged:
press your lip
Literature
Life, Love, Memories, and Roses
Memories,
These are the things that make life beautiful.
Whether your purpose is to find love or to fulfill a purpose of unknown understanding.
Remember that life is not about money, power, or what is at the end of the journey.
It's about how you got there along with the memories to go with it.
So cherish those moments of love, sadness, anger, and everything in between.
Because this makes you who you are.
Those moments of love and passion are nothing like any other memory you have.
So keep them close and burning in your heart.
Because in life, love is one thing, you'll experience and never want to let go.
So remember to cherish the

Flock said the rock: a short poem about a rock that dreams about flying and another rock that just thinks he's an idiot. Makes me smile a little. First rhyming poem in a long time, and a bit silly too, so let me know what you think
