Stars and the Suns

I decided to try a different approach to my poetry. It's not that I don't like it...it's just different. I wrote this after a busy day at school.

Repetition and confusion

Break the mind and cut the spirit

With every waking moment

Shattering our being

From,

Trying to get through life

On sleepless nights

Behind the strife

And the unkind fights

Is,

Is a moment waiting for each of us

In,

A quick day

A demanding hour

A stressful minute

To,

The grass under a starlit night

Counting as many suns

As our memorable moments

Staring at nothing

And everything

Something,

Slowing down

Healing every corner of your tattered existence

Until,

The alarm goes off

Routine starts again.

Change not the life, but the number of stars in the revolutions of the years.
-Milton

The Love Within Children

I was inspired by something today, that made me a little sad. Although it's something special.

The innocence within a child,
The cold wind of many winter's past
Of a time
Of a place
Of two children in love.
//
The lost dreams of warmth and tranquility
Are simply deep in the wound
Behind the scar and bound in the blood
Coursing through his veins
Is a love so deep that one can only see
For a moment in life.
//
Two kids that believed in love,
But didn't see it coming.
Lived in the moment and never let go.
//
Things were not made to last forever.
Each girl can't compare to her.
It tears and stabs the will of his soul.
The valor covered by a memory.
The knight is gone
And the sun shines again.
//
For everyone else,
It was too early.
For them,
It was forever.
//
Where did the days go?
The moments about fun and endless laughing.
The times they never thought would end.
The ballad begins and the memories fade to dust.
With scars hidden, the child is no more.
//
Play changed to work.
Breath changed to rasp.
And the lost sight of simplicity
Blinded by task,
Of a boy and a girl.
Past the times of ten,
Beyond the edge of twenty.
Is an empty hole.
//
An absent pain and a familiar feeling.
Brings a faith of endless days
Of running through fields
Under the trees
And in the rain.
With a flower that ran deeper than love
Could ever comprehend.
//
Too young to know.
Too old to understand.
I believe in a time where we shared this bond.
A place in our lives.
A love without love
Within two children
Trying to find each other.

-Milton

Fly

I feel like incorporating both dancing and acrobatics.

I feel the wind at my feet,

I feel the ground at my fingertips,

And as I twist into a handspring,

My arm gives way,

To the unforgiving test of gravity.

//

My foot catches my falling body

And I kick into a B-Twist

As my bandages tear.

//

I tear rolls by as the pain spreads,

From the six-step,

To the flare,

And into the moonwalk.

//

With one last jump,

I fly,

And I collapse

With a grin.

//

-Milton
