jonah gustafson Poems

Standing alone with my nose turned up
Sitting awake in my bed
Pouring a glass; a half empty cup
Pouring my glass till I’m dead
...

Endless; my search for true love
Shallow; my heart floats above.

Fishing for love on an open sea
...

3.

Harmless moment,
Safe, seasoned breeze
Tickles my soul as I stare
Aimed away from smog
...

Braided beauty closely hugs
hardened body tightly tugs
soulless shadow in the light
silence says he lost the fight
...

5.

Beside my foot, a wedged print.
A track of my own.
A future disaster.
God, let me fall.
...

Layer my life upon sediments of rust
Among my friends, among the rest
Together, viewed; together we are.
Together, viewed; together we are.
...

It seems as though these promises leak through my empty skin
A shallow heart’s familiar song sings to show my sin
An honest breath unannounced might break me from my root
But for now, and history, this world I will pollute
...

Wind is your only friend;
It moves you from your place
But there is no time to spend;
Just keeping at it’s pace
...

Look at the statue
So proud and brave
The city’s tattoo
He’s all the rave
...

I’ll walk until my feet will bleed
I’ll walk until they burn
I’ll walk alone so I can lead
Because that’s all I’ve earned
...

Tattoo on a dead body
Pointless scar on a buried billboard
Vintage expression six feet under
Of a decaying hopeful’s fossilized dreams
...

The Best Poem Of jonah gustafson

Darkness, My Bride

Standing alone with my nose turned up
Sitting awake in my bed
Pouring a glass; a half empty cup
Pouring my glass till I’m dead

Staying still half empty for life
And keeping to the dark
As if darkness was my wife
My heart displays her mark

Never growing sick of her
Although she likes to bait
And underneath my skin does stir
But with her I placed my fate

Look down the aisle and see my bride
Look down to see my death
Look down to see one hell of a ride
While I’m taking my last breath
