When we consume joy, it forfeits its immortality. When joy consumes us, we forfeit our death; for the joy we’ve joined will persist in making its rounds, like dawn, public transportation, the solstice, and the generations to come.

What ho
Ay up
Been a minute
In a wee teacup
With stormy clouds
& Will-o-the-wisp
Poked my head out
See what I missed.

I count my breaths
like borrowed time
step by step
in crooked rhyme

I feel too much
I feel too late
love arrives
already fate

I stay I bend
I almost break
still I wake
for waking’s sake

Gifts bestowed,
on a Sun King Bard,
words avant garde
upon notes they road,
and libation flowed.

Event horizon.
What a place.
Just that girl,
Lost in space.

Wake-Up

I wake seeking—
for light, for direction
for something spoken
across a ledge or stoop
onto today, that will hold.

After some thought, I've decided to take my poetry collection off of Amazon Kindle and instead make it free to read online. If you're interested, check out the "Books" section on my website (link in the bio).

Remnants Hi everyone! I hope you're all well. I'm sharing another poem with you today, and I hope you enjoy it. Remnants We are beings made from other thingsOf remnants from beforeBits of dust and particleWashed up from starry shores We are stars that are, by now, long deadRemade to shine anewAll atoms reconfiguredA metaphysical redo Recombinants of ancient gritFormed in hot destructionWhat was becoming what isCoalescing without instruction We're just particles crammed togetherFlesh, bone, brillianceBuilt to thrive within this cycleLeaning on our resilience Thank you, as ever, for stopping by to read my words. Until next time, George © 2024 GLT

Forewarning Hi everyone! I hope you're all well. I'm sharing another poem with you today, and I hope you enjoy it! Forewarning Where have all of our forests gone?Why are our oceans brown?Why is there so much smog and ashO'er every city and town? And where are all of our creatures?There's no wildlife anymore.And the human populationHas plummeted through the floor. Why is there no more food to eat?Or anything left to drink?The earth and all humanityAre hanging right on the brink!

A Thought of You Each Day Hi everyone! I hope you're all well. Today, I am sharing another poem with you, and while this one is a little sad (I know, shocker), it's also a little hopeful. I hope you enjoy it. A Thought of You Each Day One day they was vibrant colour,And the next day, there was none.All things were now in shades of greyAnd dulled because you had gone. And with you went all the birdsong,And the scent of ev'ry flower.Time had become unbearable,Each moment now an hour.

All that Glitters Hi everyone! I hope you're all feeling well and doing incredible things! I'm sharing a poem with you today, ad I hope you enjoy it. All that Glitters All that glitters isn't gold,Though tempting is the shine.But beach stones shimmer just the sameAs gold found in a mine. All who sparkle are not stars!You may feel that sparkle call,But life can be a masqueradeAnd those stars can start to fall. All things firey are not light.Though bright, a fire burns.Be wary of big and lighted eyes,

this is not poetry
this is a warning.
a map made of scars.
a funeral where the coffin

Some smile.
Some kiss your forehead.
Some tell you
they love you
right before they disappear.
