Joshua Benjamin Poems

Awakening from my irresistible hibernation, I beheld the sparkling morning smiling right at me.
Reluctant to leave the embrace of my mattress; Time whispered the urgency to be prepared for the educative box.
Arising in disgust at my laziness, I took a very slow flight to the cleaning chambers to attend to my royal earth;
Done with such an ethical task, my garments patiently waited for me within my private walls. And soon, my heels received marching orders to the bus station.
...

It was the sleep of my pain,
Boredom to the eyes of my mind
Innocently plagued by words
My heart was in a hurry to laugh
...

Within the tiny speck of a force-dependent world,
One life which is a million too small,
Valued by the power of many oxygen atoms,
All riding on the resonating sound of a breathing flute,
...

A speck to the spectator of constellations,
Deceived by apparent brevity,
With my originality on its knees,
While sitting on its throne of pride,
...

A loud cry of my innocent heart,
With whispers of my dizzy eyes,
While my soul waits for help,
And her desires seem too far away,
...

A shocking day arrives in my timeline,
My mind in a state of a raging storm,
Many thoughts wrestling for visibility,
All challenged by the gravity of my reality,
...

The most terrible evening,
Tears, tears, tears,
Broken.
Broken by the breaking of a tender heart,
...

In a time when I was made, in a moment when I came to be;
A naive being anticipated an innocent world;
Filled with the sunshine of love and pure bliss;
While in the dark chambers of an earthy balloon;
...

Dreams outside the space of time,
Never on bended knees to reason,
Neither on standing feet to purpose,
Yet, it's no will to believe it's just a wish,
...

A sunny smile shaded by a thick cloud;
My guten morgen were but a mere hallo;
No true revelation of my electrifying excitement at humanity;
No one can tell if I truly care, it's just a clash of innocent pairs of eyes;
...
