Poetic nonsense.
Just a collection of poems I've written lately.
In chronological order from oldest to newest.
You are, of course, under no obligation to read all of them.
I understand that this post is pretty darn long.
I won't be offended if you don't read them/all of them. :)
Alone By Myself
I told you I was broken
I showed you all these scars
I thought that I could trust you
So I lay there in your arms
When they said you'd said those ugly things
You all heard my smile shatter
I listened to the ones I'd known longer
And the lies I believed got fatter
I now think I was searching
For a reason to run and get out
But when I finally found the truth
I got lost in confusion and doubt
Now once again I'm broken
And I have yet more scars
I know now I can trust you
But someone else is in your arms
My Guardian Angels
We were both young when we each started to fall
Neither in shape to help the other along
Desperately struggling just to move at a crawl
But still you became my safety net
You, my faithful friend,
You kept me from wondering
I didn't know what to think when we first met
How could I have known I would so need you?
Confronting my pain at last became possible
At the moment you let me cry there
You, my honest friend,
You kept me from wondering
We had known each other a mere few months
Though those months may have seemed like years
Being yours made me feel valued and loved
Your friendship helps me remember
You, my open friend,
You kept me from wondering
I never dared dream we would be such good friends
How could those fools throw your trust away?
I pray the rumors prove to have an ounce of truth
While the thought exists, I will hope
Because you, my newest friend,
You are keeping me from wondering
Sweet Drops of Rain
I'm sitting on the counter
Staring across the room.
The cabinet is mocking me
As hurtful words bounce around in my head.
I am alone and unwanted.
They'd be happier without me.
The cabinet is tempting me
With bitter liquids and bland candies
To make me close my eyes and
Forever sleep.
My thoughts are interrupted by the phone.
I choose to pick it up,
And I have my last conversation.
But before disconnection,
I hear three miraculous words:
"I love you."
. . .
The cabinet is daring me.
I tear my eyes away
And fly through the front door.
My feel slam on the pavement as I run.
I refuse to be tempted.
I refuse to be mocked.
Someone finds value in me.
The sky rips open,
And my tears of hope are mingled with
Sweet drops of rain.
9/12
The clock reads nine eleven,
And I am reminded of that fateful day
When a country finally bonded together
As we realized the horror we've been spared,
Horrors the rest of the world is used to.
But where others thought to destroy us,
Where others sought to break our dream,
We showed them courage;
We showed them strength;
And we showed them hope
Because like a clock that keeps ticking,
Like a clock that eternally keeps time,
We fought on.
Our will power made us strong;
Our hope made us courageous.
Our hope made us brave enough to face a new day.
Like a ticking clock,
We moved ever forward.
Tick.
Tick.
Tick.
... The clock reads nine twelve.
Whispers of my Heart
I turn at the sound of your voice
My name sounds sweetest on your lips
You slowly move close to me
You move close to me
Gently holding me
My heart skips a beat
Silly and stupid it may be
But still
My heart skips a beat
Your soft black hair
Your deep brown eyes
Your warm, beautiful smile
That makes me melt
In your embrace,
I am at home
Comfortable
Loved
And at peace
Silly and stupid it may be
But still
My heart skips a beat
I am finally happy
... But I feel your warm arms leaving me
Is this rejection?
Is this some cruel joke?
No.
It was only a dream.
It was only the whispers of my heart,
Come to invade my dreams.
It was only a dream
... And that's all it will ever be.
I Wish, I Wish.
I wish, I wish, with all my heart
That you and I should never part.
I wish, I wish, with all my might
That you would turn and run to the light.
I wish, I wish, with all my soul
That you could fill this gaping hole.
I wish, I wish, on all that is fine
That you could be forever mine.
