In Other Words...

Poem 21. March 2012

The illusion the lies
These words mask
With symbols and rhymes
How will you know how I feel
When it’s covered beneath tinsel and frill
Let me speak so bluntly
I only hope the critics won’t bludgeon me

I wanted you and I know you knew that
Maybe you wanted me too
You say time was the reason
I know its a lie
For time does not come in to play
In matters of the heart
So you say you need more
And I will gladly hand it over
But you quickly start to vanish
No trace left but these blurry memories

Poem 20. March 2012

There’s still a shred of hope

I can feel it in my bones

The mind’s given up

Though the heart just can’t stop

I need to hear the words from you

So tell it all and tell it true

Is there any hope for me and you

Poem 19. March 2012

Expectations

For when they are so high up
They no longer reach the ground
Reality will surely knock them down

And when they hit the dirt road
The winds will scatter and blow
Leaving nothing but a gaping hole

I Like You Because….(Realization of the day)

I feel something for you.
I care if you’ll be here tomorrow or not.
There’s something about you that makes you different from the rest.
I haven’t felt these feelings for someone in years.

And if I come to find that you don’t like me, and it is easy for me to move one, I won’t deny this feeling and say I never felt this way towards you. If I move on so easily it is not because I never liked you but because I’ve learned to move on from failed relationships with people.

Poem 4 [12/15/10]

Sitting out in the pouring rain
Smoking my ciggarette
Feeling so low

All the poetic juices flowing
But they’ve all spilled out onto the floor

Our life together
all planned out
You know nothing of this
For they are only dreams

I love the chills I feel
Out in the blistering cold
It shows I still have warmth
In this freezingly cold soul

Poem 18. 2012

You frolic in the meadows of woe
Float in the lake of despair
You choose to walk this path of misery

Come take my hand
I will lead you down the twisted steps
Of your past

And you will not shy away from these memories
The ones that make you feel so low

You embrace this sweet timeless pain
The one you can’t seem to let go

Poem 17. 2012

For a heartbeat I could have sworn it was you
Deep down inside though
I knew it couldn’t be

A foolish little girl’s hope

These delusions plague me
Paranoia strikes from unfamiliarity
The unknown becomes a waking dream

But as the rain comes crashing down
It washes out these fallacies
And out blooms the truth

Poem 16 August 8, 2011

I don’t know you
But I already adore you

Our love affair hasn’t begun yet
And I’m in tears

For one day you will leave me
And take my heart as a trinket

I will be awaiting that day
Like a train station lover
Anticipating the final boarding call

Poem 15 1/4/2012

The warmth of the sun on one’s skin
Can not be compared to anything
No drug nor drink can bring about
The absolute pleasure one feels

It will light up your body
Defrost your bones
Leave any trace of chill
Knocking on winters door

Poem 14. 2011

Filthy little looking glass
Smudged with all my past
My secrets held inside you
Like Dorian’s portrait part two

Behind the dirt and grime
I will appear in my prime
A time of pure innocence
When life was just a coincidence

I cannot take me any more
For I have turned into this whore
A selfish being with no meaning
This mirror might need some cleaning
