Its far beyond my scope of reasoning
To now preclude the possibility
That all this drawn out constant bickering
Will lead to some reveling clarity
In which you state your absolute post-you,
Post-new post ev’rything you didn’t do,
Post-post, post-pre, post marked no longer due,
Abalone chocolate cream clown shoe.
Maybe, perhaps, a chance a rainbow shines
Above that blank lost void you saturate,
To color the madness your mouth confides,
Oh how quickly new wounds coagulate.
But look! Its late, the check! An orange rind,
Let’s hope some hope falls through some future grind.

If I could make a drink of you,
I often wake subdued from some dream’s dew,
If I could have the best of you,
I met her lovely smile again tonight,
Oh hey! Your soul is out again tonight.
Success will come to those who bide and wait,
I have a lingering fear that I am no longer capable of writing a sonnet. The words have stopped coalescing the way they used to. And I’m not sure whether that’s such a bad thing.
I’m only 26 :/. I got time… I think.
