SO LONG I thought I was a wall, Even that could fall. Every brick I had you broke, Even though I was just a bloke. You nipped me off in the wake of my bloom, Just to watch my glow and savor my scent. I feared for my petals, for I could wither; Yet I fell by your whittle, Albeit assured that I would live. Even my Polen you wouldn't give. You took my youth, Now you want to be you. I just got ready to board, But you said the ship has sailed. My "friend-ship" sailed without me; A ship I crafted for my maiden. Also my license is forbidden. I can only stand by the shore and stare. It embraced the storm to my dismay. Yes, I am the captain, come what may; So I naively thought. I thought you wanted a calm sea, But you're the whirlwind I see. You led me on for so long. So long, my beautiful ship. ====================== #Everything is contextually relative.

Sober Reflection It was all joy and smile As I rolled out of the factory. Like a new minted coin, I shone. I didn't worth much, but I was worthy and wanted. Everyday was wishes of bliss. But sooner I became an object of boredom. A home to call mine I desired, or at least traded for a fair price; But there are more where I came from. Like a used and unwanted toy, I was cast off, left alone on the lawn. Pounded and drowned by the element, But cleaner than yesterday I glow Grilled and peeled by the element, Left to rust and rot. Hoping to break up, yet I wake up. Not forever desired, But eternally I live. I am plastic. - Jesse Adiele - The Complex Simplicity, But The Simplest Complexity.
