I used to have a green swing set.
I brought it with me when I left.
Some pieces fell along the way.
It doesn’t swing the same today.
Poem 16
Do not assign more to your dreams than need be.
You do not control your brain when you sleep.
Poem 15
Why do books and houses use such similar terms?
To say ‘stories’ and ‘chapters’ sounds quite absurd.
Poem 14
Together the cherries fade
Like summer on pink champagne
Honey, you are Chardonnay
You bring color back from grey
Poem 13
"Do you celebrate Pineapple Tuesday?" She asked him, wildly.
His brow furrowed, "What reason would there be?"
She rolled her eyes, "Life's far too short to have reasons for everything."
Poem 12
"That's just my opinion." He says, defensively.
Her smile grows in response to the irony...
"And that's my opinion. Just cause it is different
does not mean it's presented in conflict."
Poem 11
The problem was
You gave me the moon
Instead of the stars
Instead of something
That shines on its own
All it did was reflect love
That I'd already shown
You only ever loved me
When it was easy
Loving is sacrifice
It's not giving back
It's not a return
Or a weight on your back
It's about more than money
About more than cars
You don't get to be seen
As someone you aren't
Poem 10
I have a pet rock, that no one knows about
Because long ago, I left him on the ground
Today he may be anywhere, a traveler at heart
I knew my rock could go much farther, apart
For I am slow to travel, and slower so to change
But there is so much out there, for the rock to face
I was too afraid, to go on to the world
But my rock was courageous, and easily bored
So I made a promise, to find him one day
When I no longer wished, for life to be the same
Years I have waited, apart from my old friend
But today will be different, I will look for him instead.
Poem 9
Sometimes in summer, there will be rain
Sometimes the sunshine, mixes with pain
Sometimes the clouds, seem to cover the stars
And the distance between us, is miles apart
But there's more to the rain, than the erosion
It washes away stains, and adds to the ocean
The rain cares for Earth, in ways we do not
It waters the plants, that we put in pots
For me it's a reminder, a message from heaven
There's something greater, in colors of seven
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet
A reminder that I, don't know everything yet.
That each strike of lighting, colors the sky
It lights up the darkness, before my eyes
And every single booming, sound of thunder
Tells me I have a voice, and it can be louder.
Poem 8
My love, my dear
For you, I fear
My love may be too great
If only my heart
Could set apart
My love from my great fear
I since we met
Have not yet forget
The beauty of your heart
For it's been a while
Since I, in your smile
Have found myself yet
Oh how I dream
Of that which, unseen
Walks our future miles
If I may ask
Of you one task
To stay with me, my dream.
Poem 7
I know I have lost
many moments in time
Trying to hold on
But letting it slip by
My only hope
Is that I do not come
To the point where I
Have lived only one
Poem 6
Humbly, on my word, I swear it
I am in love with you
While you sleep in dreams of Paris
I dream only of you
Oh I fear my heart cannot bear it
To be away from you
Of your heart, am I the heiress
The heir to mine is you
Poem 5
If I could count the times that I've fallen for your eyes then I'd finally find infinity
If I could walk the miles that It'd take to make you smile then I'd walk endlessly
If I had to search for you to prove that we aren't through I'd search relentlessly
If I could mark these walls with the days that I've been gone then I'd be overcome by infinity
If I could have the chance to show you real romance I would love you endlessly
If I must fight for you until my skin turns blue I will fight relentlessly
Poem 4
In nature our image lies
You are the sea, I am the sky
The ocean in the light of the moon
I feel closer, closer to you
Poem 3
Slowly I would move to song
Words which I had for so long
Left behind and strung along
Hoping that they're true and strong
But in the end my love is violent
Telling me “no longer be silent”
And so I disregard entitlement
And I collect you these violets
Now I've come to tell you
In many shades of blue
Just how much I love you
And hope that you do too
Poem 2
Summer in heat
As it beats down
On you and me
Autumn breezes
Caress your knees
As they weaken
Winter curtain
The days shorten
My longing grows
Spring blossoming
I am humming
A tune for you
Poem 1
Oh, woe is me
How can it be
My love has gone away
I pray and fight
My heart each night
"They’re coming" it will say
Yet as I lie
I feel inside
My mind, how it sways
It doesn't buy
How cut and dry
This all seems to be
