A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 122

Day 122: “12 to 12”

I credit a lot of my newfound energy

To “12 to 12” by sombr

When I put it on,

I can’t help but wake up

I somehow become someone who likes doing the dishes

I dance around and groove

I can’t help myself

I think I’ll play it now

It’s 12 to 12 somewhere

A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 111

Day 111: “Synchronicity”

I’m sitting on the metro

Doing a crossword

And listening to music

“Your Body” by Night Lunch

I can’t help myself

I tap my foot along to the beat

Something catches my eye

The man to my right is also tapping his foot

Bopping along to some song

I like this synchronous moment

I look around

A man up ahead is

You guessed it

Tapping his foot along to his music too

I sit there enjoying this moment of connection

Not talking

Not even making eye contact

I’m not even sure they know what we all are doing

But I do

And I imagine we’re all listening to the same song

A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 66

Day 66: “Lorde & Savior”

I press play

Close my eyes

Breathe

I’m transported

to 2017

“Melodrama” CD blasting

Feeling new feelings

Maturing

Freeing

Enjoying the summer

For once

When I open my eyes

It’s not 2017

It’s now

Still hot as heck

But

Somehow I can tolerate the heat

When I’m listening to “Virgin”

I feel free

Fed

Awake

Confident

Grown

Alive

Capable

Cool

Lorde might just have saved my summer

A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 53

Day 53: “Musicality”

What does music do for you?

For me

It sets me free

From my mind

My worries

My rollercoaster

It helps me feel

Joy

Sadness

Grief

It makes me

Laugh

Cry

Smile

It makes me so happy I could cry

So sad I could smile

It confuses me

Makes me think

Connects with me

Connects me

It makes me dance

Sing

Move

It fills me

Expands me

Releases me

I feel

Again

Again

Again

Never ending

Always discovering

Me

Press play

And melt

Jump

Cry

Laugh

Stop

Go

Relax

Energize

Then come back down to earth

A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 15

Day 15: “Here We Go Again”

Last night I went to one of

Maybe the best

Concert of my life

I had the perfect view

I could see him between two people’s heads

The ultimate window

My partner and I were singing

And dancing along to all of the songs

I’ve wanted to see him in concert for so long

This time it almost didn’t happen

I waited in the presale

And didn’t get a ticket

SOLD OUT

But by a miracle

And capitalism

They added another show

And two tickets went straight to my Apple wallet

Got a Long Island iced tea

But with ginger ale because they were out of diet coke

And it wasn’t half bad

Had the perfect buzz

During the perfect songs

With the perfect person

Kansas Anymore

The album

Changed my life

And reopened my eyes to a nostalgia I haven’t felt in a while

I click my heels

And I’m blissful

Happy

I fell headfirst

For the ambience

For the music

For my man

His arms wrapped around my waist as we sang and kissed

And vibed

I didn’t want it to end

When we got home, we searched for more Role Model shows

Looks like we’re going on the road
