Things I say when I'm tired

The cat watches bugs,
From his place on the rug,
And he doesn't know,
I'll be gone, til I go.

The clothes in the wash,
Go slishedy slosh,
But they'll soon be packed,
In an oversized sack.

My eyes, they are tired,
But my mind is still wired.
As for what's on my mind,
It's like wheels that grind.

The planes overhead,
Don't realize my dread,
Or excitement or fear,
As the moment draws near.

Senses

It just comes natural,
The feelings I feel,
They gnaw
Claw
Scratch
And bite

Like a tiger in a cage,
A tremendous rage,
Or the ocean.
Wave after wave,
After furious wave.

They make me sing,
They make me dance,
They make me cry,
They make me fly,
But I will have them 'til I die.

Why my mouth stays silent,
While my heart is so loud,
And my head quiets down,
When you are around,
I will never understand.

But your influence lives on,
In the things that I do,
In the places I go,
In my courage,
That I never thought I had until you.

Perhaps these feelings infernal
Will live on eternal,
In that actions I make,
And the words that I say,
And the hearts that I break.

I hate love

I hate the stupid butterflies,
That dance when you're around.
I hate the way I feel like I'm,
So far above the ground.

I hate the pure delusion,
That everything's alright.
I hate the way I feel when I,
Am all alone at night.

I hate how much I love the feeling,
I utterly despise.
I hate how it controls me,
With just a meeting of the eyes.

But most of all, above all else,
What's horrible and lame...
I hate the way I know that you,
Will never feel the same.

Writing poetry with Raven

Raven and I wrote this poem, and now I'm attempting to revive my blog with the power of poetry.  BEHOLD!

the forest is green
all but the trees
weve got all we need
and some extra fleas

the only sound the river
as it burbles and glugs
no people to bug us
just actual bugs

in hiding we go
when night finally falls
you snuggle up with
your rock-made dolls

and as others are sleeping
alone in their beds
and can't get their worries
outside of their heads

dreams of nature
and sad little faeries
dance through your 
minds great prairies

through your mind's eye
they frolic and prance
and you can't take your eyes
off their magical dance
