Jono Plunkett Poems

I wondered hopelessly
the lights appearing
like glittering shards of glass,
the people weaving webs of insecurity.
...

You are a star in orbit with every planet
You are alone, independent, bright and beautiful.
You are a system, light years away yet I will always try.
Your beauty never matched yet forever shared.
...

Twelve hour shift,
Evening plans shelved,
Relationship drift
and happiness halved.
...

Have I been here before?
Seen this scene, felt like this?
Faith in humanity restored
or crumbled into nothingness?
...

My star perspires gentle stardust
raining down like a monkeys wedding

I open my mouth meaning to sing to my star
...

Oh kind maiden
Sing me a song
So the willows weep
and the heartbroken stars
...
