Welcome
Hey everyone, I hope you enjoy these poems I wrote. Please post comments (good or bad, i don't care as long as you're honest) and make sure you leave your name so I know who's seen em.

Untitled (tree)
A lover once sighed into this tree.
His soul was warm; his spirit free.
And forever etched into this bark
two names live secretly in a park.

The oak shall keep their names in it's mold,
Even when their love has long been cold.
And though some moss may fill the cracks,
they will endure all but the axe.

The tree lies off the normal trail.
No one but me will hear it's tale.
As I lean back, I sigh without glee:
"One of those names once belonged to me."

Untitled (stars)
I wish I was a meaner guy.
If only breaking hearts
didn't make me cry.

I wish, gazing into a mirror, I'd see
a person who
I'm glad to call me.

I wish I could show myself to you.
But what you may say
makes me afraid to.

I wish that I would only find
someone to share
my life, love and mind.

I wish upon the stars above
that I can someday
understand love.

But infinite, though they may be,
the stars never seem
to shine on me.

Untitled (alone)
My heart plays percussion for the deaf.
My body stands on a silent plain.
My arms reach for someone. Anyone.
My fingers flail vainly in the wind.

My eyes cannot focus on the world.
My brain perceives naught but dreamy mist.
My legs move, but don't feel the movement.
My feet prefer to stay where they are.

My lips long to curl and smile again.
My mouth only wishes to mean it.
My tears yearn to rain down forever.
My head waits to lay on a shoulder.

My ears can hear only falsity.
My thoughts eternally let me down.
My hope outlasts any chance of hope.
My life does not seem to be my own.

I am alone.
I tire of only dealing with "my".
