Nolite Vita Mea

A personal poem incorporating aspects of my life

Forget the preconceived rules of relationships
They don’t exist, they’re only words

Grabbing ideas from my head
Floating in my bed

Candor conversation
Where’s my transportation?

Frozen dew in the morning
It’s a waste of time to be mourning

Acrylic clouds painted above
I’ve never been in love

The warm soft hug of a friend
I can’t believe that was the end

Crooked noses and perverted poses
Those don’t smell good for roses

Soggy bread in the microwave
Gas mask Dave, my stomach depraved

Interesting isn’t an adjective
For how I live

The first line made me want to give you a handshake. "forget the preconceived" --That in and of itself is a philosophy to live by.

Very well done. And here's a hint: interesting isn't an adjective for how anyone lives. The images, rhymes, and diction were all engaging nonetheless.

I really like this poem. The rhyme aspect is always a plus, in my book, aha. I view this poem as a bunch of different feelings and events that most people know of. It's good to have the reader relate. Nicely penned. [:
