I really like this as is but I share some thoughts:
Now go the hell away. Very good use of this line. I'd make it the title unless a specific event or place comes to mind. Like "Workshop, May 32nd, Highway-to-Hell, Nevada".
I'd find active verbs for each use of 'is' and replace each 'the'. Like "May's sky screams blue; Spring's sea blooms green". This provides a season and action, sound, something.
Could use a grammar check unless you like it as is. Grammar is less important in poetry; this isn't an essay. For a definite pause (like for rhythm) you can use an emdash instead of a comma like: "I kid you not — nature's obscene,"
To add "darkness" to it... this is that season...
Explorers with lost souls explore,
Search worlds they've never searched before,
They'll kid you not — forevermore,
Now go the hell away.
I didn't see you this morning,
You didn't go to school, too boring?
You know I freak out without you
About a half an hour ago now,
I decided dear you're too highbrow,
Beloved darling, we're through.
Harvester of souls, take me when I go,
Hold my spirit tightly, Heaven help me,
If you should succeed, in full to my need,
Blessings of love I'll give away to thee.
I'm not a cricket lover fiddling,
I'm just a poem writer riddling.
I'm not a glass of water bubbling,
I'm just a simple human troubling.
I'm not a lazy puppy sleeping,
I'm just a jilted lover weeping.
I'm not a beetle hunter flying,
I'm just a lonely person crying.
