Reinstated

The absence of verses versus putting it all out on the table
It's not that I'm not capable
But this year put a cap on my able
To bring thoughts out and about.
It's not that life is unstable
But the pages in my notebook just became unstapled.
Muse and motivation muffled.
Stumbling upon silence
Screaming at the screeching halt of speech and semantics
Frantic at the fractions of phrases
Floating without a poem to call home.
Now trying to take off my cap
And put on my cape
SuperPoet is back
Letting no rhyme escape.

Vanished 11 of 30 NaPoMo2014

I really hate it when people cut you off for no reason
Like there is this invisible treason unbeknownst to me
Why you decided to cut me free
And leave without a word.
Yes now this friendship required work
But the worst part of this is
I know you know better
Throwing memories to the shredder
Only leaving pieces of laughter we shared
It doesn't matter that I cared whenever there was a problem
If I could try to solve them and better your world I would.
I just don't understand
How you could just stop communication.
It just comes with this irritation
Because I know it's not my imagination
That we were close
Because we chose to keep contact
When the odds were against us
Crossing paths briefly
Where ever life sent us.
I guess closure is impossible
For a pair I once thought was unstoppable
Even in your silence
I still hope you're doing well.
I just needed to get this out
And stop kidding myself.

First Date- NaPoMo 12 of 30

I'm not sure if I should speak
But this awkward silence is so loud
It's making my ears ring
Do you go first?
Do I?
Is it the fact that we're shy
That makes my insides feel so weird
Because it's all that I feared
Looking stupid
Like the thought of cupid actually being real
Making this tangible sentiment I feel
Like a cage
As I try to keep my composure
Avoiding overexposure
At this impressionable stage
Maybe your joke wasn't funny
Maybe we weren't as compatible
As we thought we were
Causing this voiceless stir
Making a blur of the moment
Hold it.
I really hope I'm not the only one
Coming undone
By the lack of words
In this conversation
I can't explain my irritation
Or understand my demand
For sound around this situation
Umm...
Yeah...
Yep...
And nervous laughs come after
This lack of banter has paved the way
To only having one more thing to say...
"Let's not do this again, k?"
