Origami Heart Syndrome

Said I’m flimsy and paper folded

So thin of a covering on a drum

Ripped through easy and scolded

But I’ve got Origami Heart Syndrome

Said I’m boring and two dimensional

Doesn't even matter if I come

Because nothing new ever becomes vocal

Oh, the Origami Heart Syndrome

Said it’s been seen and been done

Nothing special, almost scum

Laser unpowered, not even on stun

It’s the Origami Heart Syndrome

Said its all repetition and creases

Easy drunk with servings of rum

All interest just ceases

Suffering from Origami Heart Syndrome

Said to you that I do from hope

Each simple craft stability and mind shall succumb

But you can’t see out of your own little scope

Such a case of Origami Heart Syndrome

Said I’ll be filling box after box to the brim

And beyond until the feeling in my thumbs are numb

They are precious and paper cut through the grim

For this is my Origami Heart Syndrome

Catching a Falling Star

Feeling doubt and questioning fate

Engulfed in darkness from afar

But clinging on to the hope late

From catching a falling star

Skies flicker with lights

Wishing on the first star sighted

On one shooting across in flight

Amongst midnight planes piloted

Awaiting the magical properties

Of dreams and fairy tales come true

Star dust not only from a mythical species

Altering the negative view

Even if these are deceiving

Even if already knew surreal

Having such superstitions driving

Having such brings hope of steel

Eyelash undone

Eleven eleven time struck

Each birthday candle done

Earnings tossed in hopes of luck

Fallacy from childhood formed

Maturing, knowing otherwise

But to these we’ve still stormed

Momentarily content in such lies

Something so familiar

Such that is so routine

Sliver of hope remains closer

So keep aiming to catch that falling star

Illusion of the Heart

Romance and passion

Subconscious revelation

Love and lust

Deceit or trust

With a look in the eyes

That was your demise

With a part of the lips

Your sanity slips

An accidental glance

Suddenly entranced

Gazes locked intently

Seems out of reality

Can’t break away

To one’s dismay

But mere seconds gone by

Then not a wish to try

Breath forgotten

Too besoughten

Others around

Nowhere to be found

Fogged up mentality

Lost all trace of rationality

Heart over mind

Senses inclined

Leaning forward

Inclining toward

Through the eyes’ windows

Reveals their true souls
