Until They Don't--Waiting for Your Real Life to Begin



Writing, S.R. Karfelt, Author, Writer, World
S.R. Karfelt/The Glitter Globe


Worlds wait.

Sit in shadows,
Spin in circles,
Shudder in sorrow,
Suffer in silence,

Worlds wait.

Know your nonsense,
Knife your lover,
Knight your idol,
Now or never,

Worlds wait.

Buy some dinner,
Bide some time,
Break some hearts,
Build some high-hopes,

Worlds wait.

Hope for more,
Hunt for flesh,
Hail to power,
Huddle in fear,

Worlds wait.

Choose your friends,
Clean your closets,
Clear your skeletons,
Clothe your dreams,

Worlds wait.

Torch some bridges,
Tame some lions,
Talk some trash,
Tell some tall-tales,

Worlds wait.

Live a nightmare,
Love one too,
Learn to dance,
Leave it all,

Worlds wait.

  1. Mmm, more please! Love this. I always knew you had a poet's soul. Very introspective and I am glad this is just figurative skeletons because, yanno, otherwise I'd have to object ;)

  2. Absolutely, Joni. I would have said "Rearrange your skeletons" or "Dust off your skeletons" or "Party with your skeletons" but it didn't fit the verse. :D

  3. Thank you so much, Patricia! Writing by hand really adds some depth to the words!
