Despairing Silence

Despairing Silence

Silent, the armadillos sit,

Staring at a seductive darkness.

A stabbing sky shelters stars,

Which sharpen signs of sickness.

 

Empty, the armadillos hunt.

An agile insect darts,

But persistence cannot evade,

Desperate, broken hearts.

 

Tired, the armadillos sleep.

The beasts belittle and scoff,

At their inability to do,

What restless minds stave off.

 

Still empty armadillos die,

Not from lacking substance,

But from themselves,

And their despairing silence.

-Kevin Joseph Flors

Bad Habits

Bad Habits

A cavern shrouded in snow,

Home to air and ice,

When weary, the bear emerges,

Dormant on shards of vice.

 

A light which wakes blind mice,

And refines snow to steam,

Merely reflects off its claws,

Forming a chronic beam.

 

A noise could not halt its dream.

Neither thought nor prayer,

Which one’s love urges,

Could wake this bear.

 

A fate none hope to share,

For this bear does not know,

To walk on its paws,

Its own mind must grow.

— Kevin Joseph Flors

Thanks for reading! Don’t know about future post times, however expecting a post within the next week would be reasonable.

Mountains Shrink From Clouds

Mountains Shrink From Clouds

Mountains shrink from clouds,

To form the house of man,

To invade the sky,

Forming goals more grand.

 

Beyond the stars asunder,

Lies something.

We try to wonder,

But don’t dare form.

 

The brains of man are strong,

Hearts of man, stronger,

But the strongest,

Gluttony.

 

Man thinks unnatural,

Impetuous when fluid,

Selfish when ambitious,

Cold when sympathetic.

 

The mountain of man shall rise,

But when it reaches the stars,

It will shrink from clouds,

To form a house no more.

Poem: Another Rainy Day

The menacing rain

Sung a song with the dim clouds

About its dark woes

_

Yet dancing children

In the summer’s worst torrent

Sent cheers to the sky

_

The heavy rain’s drops,

Hugged the bare arms of the kids,

As they grew goose-bumps.

_

The rough, robust winds,

Attacked the youths with their whips,

And sharpened daggers.

_

The kids retreated.

When the winds teased and snickered,

The youths brought armor.

_

The winds surrendered,

After seeing their soft shells,

And the kids had won.
