Demented observer

Dude, I was just thinking, when a stranger strolls by this blog, he or she must think that I am a very deprived emo kid.

Henceforth I shall proceed with not-so depressing stuff today. Or maybe it would turn out to be depressing, despite the fact that I am happy.

Deserted on I-75

Absurdism & epistemology
Justified paradox finely
Dispassionate poet
Brimming with joy and yet
Failing to warm a heart

Nonetheless delight is hers;
Distracted frenzy refuels
Through scrambled papers
Hazelnut creamer smudged across
Somehow logic survives

English toffee creme;
Express coffee dream;
Rhyming game begins,
Tick-tocking math on the watch
Midwinter haze sits amidst silence

Starbucks takes on a rival
Intersky highway skims through
Security camera smiles at
As she returns so much as
An eye of a twinkle.

Warm mocha dissolves into
A swirling French belle
Night's stealth creeps behind,
Shadows all-embracing
Under a lone streetlight.

  1. Beautiful.

    I really wish I could capture your style - you always write with such an ethereal air...and such amazing word-choice! I loved the last stanza the most - very well done, Dreamboat. ^_^
