No Song For You Tonight

“No Song For You Tonight” 

by dwayneyawned 


There’s no song 

for you tonight 

You’ve been a bad 

sloppy boi 

Leaving trails of misinformation 

bubbling and boiling 


There’s no song 

for you tonight 

You’ve been a bad 

husband lover son 

Making your hearts go 

on a wild goose chase 

it’s not very fun 


Wherever will the visa take me? 

Whenever will my visa come? 

Whenever, wherever 

We’re meant to be together 

Just seems like it might 

be a year later and then some 


There’s no song 

for you tonight 

The only ones singing

are the sad lost lonely souls 

Crooning a tune 

of forlorn wistfulness 

of technology (hey)

and bureaucracy 

gone cruel and cold..

Dreams These Days

These days, I find myself  vividly returning to dreams of  an amalgamated institution - pri school, church, grad school,  pride club, prison, office life,  army.  There, I find myself surrounded with friends  young and old  old and new.  Occasionally a pet or  hitherto unbeknownst  family member  makes a morbid appearance.  They give me insights  into myself  spur me on to greater things  and chide me for my failings in the real world  A paper plane 100-day challenge; An infinite combo with scarabs;  Looping bouts of insomnia and sleepfulness; Not attending cell group  And cats in mech suits galore.  Then I awaken;  and the game continues  I decide if I want to  check, raise or fold.  #poem #luciddreams

Creative & Destructive
