My Poetry
Thinking too much...
Sometimes staring at the sky, I realize that I'm so small...a small
little body, trapped in a world of ruthless onlookings that only care
for themselves. I look out into the world, a world not so accepting
of my kind, and I see a light. This light means sheer joy to me, yet
it's warmth and guidance seem so far away. My mind continuously spins
cirlces inside of my head, trying to wrap itself around the meaning of
life that has brought me here. Deep inside my body tries to find the
nutrients that it needs to survive, scavaging the earth for it's share
of food. Surrounding myself by thoughts and images of happiness seem
to lift my spirit, yet these days temporary joy is all that I can find.
Small tokens of my appreciation is all that I seem to be able to
leave behind as I walk along the empty path. The joy I once spread is
now putting a damper on the people I meet. Promises of better days to
come is all that awakes me each morning, and knowing the last day has
past is what puts my head to the pillow each night. Memories will be
forgotten with pleasure soon to be relived. No matter the heartache
one feels, I feel mine is stronger, yet knowing it isn't makes me
weaker. Break free from this caged mindset, I tell myself. Yet my
words are muffled as they travel from my brain to my lips. Yet still,
the meaning of the words grasp my attention and strangle my body, as
it struggles to keep itself from plumetting to the ground. My body
wraps itself around the reality that tomorrow is a new day, and that
no matter how terrifying today was, tomorrow will open up with a
bright beginning.
Distance
The sound of your voice,
Makes me melt inside of myself.
I feel pure joy,
By the simple breath you breathe.
I want to feel the warmth of your touch,
As I sleep next to your still body.
My body lusts for the touch of your hand,
For the subtle brush of your skin.
You know how to make me laugh,
And you know the things that make me cry.
Your smile could only warm me further,
Than the joys you have already brought.
Serenity is felt when I feel close to you,
Yet still many miles apart.
To make a dream come true,
Would be to spend one day with you.
I Promise
I feel so alone when I'm not with you,
When I can't see you smile,
When I can't feel your breath against my cheek.
I look deep into your eyes,
And I find a love that flames my heart.
To death do us part is what I feel,
Yet I can't speak the words to express,
The way I feel deep inside.
My love will never die,
For you it is for eternity.
Your smile warms my fire,
The fire that burns between us.
It grows stronger,
With every passing moment.
Please forgive me now,
If I am ever to hurt you.
I do not mean the things I say,
Which may pain your heart.
The truth is that I love you,
And everything I know of you.
To be apart from you is death itself,
A death that rips apart my soul.
Say you will be with me,
And a dream of mine will be true.
No matter the time we spend apart,
I will wait for you.
No Name
A simple mind,
A simple pleasure,
I reach to the stars for guidance,
Yet my hands remain empty.
Grasping, Leaping, Bounding,
Towards emptiness that surrounds.
My heart stretches for attention,
It becomes surrounded by love.
Yet it feels no love,
The walls form a barrier,
That does not allow the emotion to enter.
Life entrapps all that I encounter,
Plowing a lonely path for me to walk.
Lustly my mind wanders,
Towards a destiny unknown, forgotten and unwanted.
A life without meaning,
Some say would be odd.
My life has a meaning,
I think that is odd.
The world I know is spinning,
Yet I am on a different course.
A mindless trap has been placed,
Before my next step.
I endlessly search for a new path,
That will never reveal itself.
Surrouding myself with cheer,
To simply protray happiness.
When life crumbles before me,
My true feelings reveal.
Unforgotten wishes surface before me,
Yet I try not to remember.
There were days of sheer joy,
That are now unknown, forgotten and unwanted.
Remember the days of playful times,
When innoncence prevailed.
Running in the field seemed like peace,
Now peace is seen as heaven.
Life jumbles before us,
Yet I feel no pain, no sorrow, no joy.
My life I once claimed to be mine,
Is now a dream of someone else.
Friends I love, loved and always will love,
Distant memories of conversation.
I will cherise the days of laughter,
Of pure tears of joy we spent.
Yet I am certain that I will not feel,
Those days again.
My love will not die,
But seemingly it is unknown, forgotten and unwanted.
STUCK
I feel stranded, baking on this island,
Not knowing how to build the bridge.
The bridge of information that must be conveyed.
My heart sinking below my stomach,
Feeding on my insides,
Riping them apart.
My head spins cirlces around itself,
Trying to understand what is going on.
My mind twists inside of itself,
Letting itself unwind.
One day all will be settled,
If only that day were now.
ALWAYS AND FOREVER
Lost,
Find me,
I beg of thee.
Why must I feel trapped?
I see no exit,
Yet I remember not how I got here.
The red glow of the sign,
I see not anywhere.
Why must my eyes strain?
The darkness is too dark.
My eyes burn from no light,
Yet the burning reminds me of life.
Look for me,
Promise me that.
Never give up hope!
Everyday I will wake,
To see if you have found me.
In our dreams we will be together,
Until the day I'm found.
Promise me that you will not remarry.
Do not love anyone the way you love me.
I will not love anything as I have loved you.
Remind me of our love,
By wishing on the stars.
May the twinkle you see in the sky,
Remind you of me and to me of you.
Look hard and you will see,
We are only a dream apart.
MEMORIES OF US
There were so many things,
I didn't get to tell you.
And so many ways,
I wanted to express myself.
There are so many regrets,
I have now that I've lost you.
But I'm learning to deal,
With the choices I made.
I know, and you know,
There is no hope for us.
But I just wanted to let you know,
That I still love you.
Chorus
Hold on for one more day,
I will guide you to the place we made.
Our dreams are both there,
Waiting for us to pick them up.
The times we shared will never fade,
And there are so many more to be made.
Keep strong and look up with your eyes,
There is still a love that burns between us.
Memories of us, Memories of us,
That will never be lost.
From the moment I first met you,
Til the day we said goodbye,
I have never stopped,
Loving you.
The memories that we have shared,
Inspire me each and every day.
I've never been so close,
To a person in all my life.
Don't forget to think of me,
When you lay your head to rest.
Dream a thousand dreams of me,
And cherise the times we spent together.
Move on with your life,
But retain the memories of us.
Chorus
There are so many things I've done,
To hurt you in the past.
I want to be your friend,
Let me show you how.
I have changed for you,
I want to keep you close to me.
Even though we ended on bad terms,
I will forgive you if you forgive me.
Take my hand,
And I shall lead.
Let's go someplace where we have never been,
And I will guide you to happiness.
Look forward to positive vibes,
That I will give to you.
If only you would reach out,
And grab for my hand.
