Poet In The Jar Diaries: Walk Backwards

Saturday, October 4

Walk Backwards

Things change, things differ.
You grow, try to decipher.
Try to decipher the world.

Collecting colors through my tears,
my last ounce of happiness,
squeezed from my heart.
Amazed by the sky and the rainbow,
I'm clouded by my dark.

New waves, tidal times.
You grow, trying to find.
Find why you're walking backwards.

Your voice drifts away
Never glance back
Never stray

Walk backwards

Collecting colors through my tears,
my last ounce of happiness,
squeezed from my heart.
Amazed by the sky and the rainbow,
I'm clouded by my dark.

Walk backwards
Walk backwards

For Dust And Memories

My Poetic Intentions

My world is like a glass jar that isolates me from the rest of the world, and the glass is the cover that life has placed on my eyes. Inside it I am the poet who hasn't decided whether the lid should be opened or closed - if reality should be welcomed inside, or if madness should be let out.

I'm Poet in the Jar. I've had this blog going since 2007 and use it to post and store poetry, lyrics and random, spontaneous thoughts on life and everything that comes along with it.
