Grief

by: DechoLee

Wondering in a broken room
Lost to looking back
Doesn’t know a forward track
Splash down
Swimming in a cutscene of dreams
Where did it go
What seeds did he sow
There could have been something
But a neglected garden never grows
Flood or draught is all he knows
And from that
Nothing ever sprouts
Questions and doubts
Blanket his cold body
On the park bench in his soul
The pounding rain
Can’t clean away
The thoughts of that lost day
Could have been something
But from nothing nothing always grows

Optimism

by: {Name (First):1.3} {Name (Last):1.6}

Like a spring rising
From the bedrock
Of a dried river
Hope rises in me
To meet the new day
Like the sun breaching
The horizon
Gleaming rays peirce the sky
Purple & pink
Intertwine in the dance
Of morning seduction
Optimism rises in me
To meet the day anew
When I wake
To see you

Accolades

by: David Lee

Accolade
Serenade
Hopes drop
Like hand grenades
I’m here to say
I’ll mold you like clay
And leave you on the floor
Freshly filleted
I see it in your eyes
Don’t listen to the lies
Coming at you blazing gun
You know I’ve already won
Quiver you’re so afraid
Just hand me
My accolades

Sonder

by: David Lee

SONDER

As I saunter
Down the street
I am mesmerized
By the people I meet
As I contemplate
How their world’s complete
With me supplementary
Only there for a filler seat
I am there as background noise
A complement to their lives
As they dance to a different beat
