Illness has me

Meme-emotional description

This is the first time in a while I have struggled with the pad challenge. I am going to try to get it caught up…but I don’t know if I will be able to. I’m sick. Not the normal this time of year thing, though I wish it was. I just got over a nasty sinus infection, but I am still working on dealing with other issues that are making me feel like sleeping all the time.

I will get over it, I think…but I am not sure how long it will take. Until I get back to 100 % I am probably gonna be behind on everything. I am going to try to keep up…but I can’t promise anything right now.

Expectations 

Ever expanding 

Ever exceeding 

 

Equating Ego Erroneously 

Extra expected... 

Everything Establishing 

Extra!

The Graveyard

by Serena Mossgraves 

When does the earth 
 in the graveyard 
return to the living? 

When do the souls  
that guard such places 
finally find rest? 

When does the graveyard 
stop being the place for the dead, 
and return to life again?

Wake me 

wake me,

for I must be

stuck in a dream...



wake me,

as I have all

I ever wanted.



wake me,

before I decide 

to ne'er leave.

The Grim Reaper’s Dream

by Serena Mossgraves

As though life was unreachable
the reaper dreams of what is
naught for them, someone to lead them
towards a paradise to rest in.

Kindness misbegotten,
the reaper realizes…
Dreams were ne’er meant
to be had.

Bohemian 

I've been a thousand places
I don't know where I'm going
It's hard to find a place to call home
Every demon, every ghost from your pastAnd every memory you've held backFollows you home

Oh, home, let me come home
Home is wherever I'm with you
I'll go wherever you will go

And it don't look like
I'll ever stop my wandering
I've been down every road
Felt the sun, I've felt the cold
 

This is a cut poem for the volume Lyrical Recycling,
a cut poetry volume.

Bohemian Songs :
battle born by five finger death punch, nobody drinks alone by Keith Urban, Home by Edward Sharpe and the magnetic zeros, wandering by James Taylor, Home is You by Rozes, wherever you will go by the calling

Grief is Alive

by Serena Mossgraves

it slithers through your soul
eating, biting, devouring,
as it goes…

Grief is a creature
buried deep within,
alive and borrowing.

Poetry
when the world closed in on me
I needed you so desperately,
I kept looking at the phone 
wondering if you would be
there if I were to call,
if I asked would you be 
there for me at all ?

Perhaps that's my mistake
I counted on you ever
to be the one I could count on.

I needed you,
and hope was gone.

Decay

by Serena Mossgraves

the body falls apart
decay setting in
age builds more
pain in decay…

I live in the decaying temple
that I I built in a soul
made of tragedy
and fighting for myself.

So quickly my whole world shattered

the results are in from the test,

you told us years ago

that you needed to be free,

and now there's a problem...



It is nothing new

doctors always doubt,

health is just a cost

and how much money 

you are able to throw about.
