Poem 7

you never know


i might be wrong


i told you the sun

turns cold in the winter


i told you the stars

are hidden by clouds


i told you the trees

can’t dance in the wind


and i said


i didn’t care


and that they wouldn’t

be what i want

anyway


but

you never know


i might be wrong

Poem 6

Two-Second Poem (Dashed off the top of my head)
Here and now
as we say goodbye,
to a fresh new start
and then we see
the quickness tide
that falls apart:
hiding you from me
and we still think so
as we watch it pass
and we have to know
(you gotta guess
your way
it's not the same
as mine
to you or me
we have to do the right)
and then we see
the gleam of candlelight
upon flickering eyes
(and the faces
raised to the dark sky
are calling).
So you see it now
as we watch we rain
and gleam:
that you have to go
going to be late
in the whole grand scheme
just help me plan,
help me waste away
I have to stay right here
you're there
but now I know you can't stay
and then we feel it
like a whirl of tide
(as the pulls out,
pulls in)
and you saw it and you said it
that really now you wish --
you could
and then you're gone
(like those faces
raised
to the dark sky
of the rain).

Poem 5

The Limit's The Sky
Did he mean it before
You think he did
He really meant it
But were his feelings hid
From before he slammed the door

Another girl had to come into his life
However much you wanted it to
Just stay that way
But you know that even while that grew
He was starting to sharpen the knife

And even while you start to cry
And even though you know you'll die
The flame of life won't pass you by
You can't forget unless you try
And so keep strong, my wonderful friend
I'll be beside you through the bend
So that when you realize the limit's the sky
This'll finish with a lovely end.

Poem 3 & Poem 4

The Old Cat
The old cat poses, thin and sleek
He wipes his whiskers, ears and cheek
I wonder how he knows from birth
How to be so quick and chic.

His head inclined toward the earth
(He looks more than he's really worth)
He sits so straight, so very long
It seems as if it is his berth.

He listens to a silent song
As busy people walk along
It seems that's his place to belong.
And nothing can ever again go wrong.


And now, since that was more of a silly poem, you get another poem on the same day!! Aren't you lucky?

No Silence
Never silence
(an unwanted cough)
not like it says
in books
air not thick, but
just not there
a little cold
who else is here?
no one(or else
no silence)
yet too much space
for those things
(the ones you
really don't want to think of)
and time
loses meaning
(why, it's dark
now
where has the sun gone?)
But did it ever exist
in the first place...
like the silence

Poem 2

Your Truth

You told me that you love her.
You said it with all your heart.
You can't know why I want to cry
Cause that statement's a poison dart.

You said I'd always be your friend,
You said you'd always care.
I think, though, how, what could be now --
A feeling more than air...

And what's it about you to make me feel this way
When I know you love her so
And how long will it last, a month, a year, a day
Till you turn around to face my way?

She told you that she loved you
And now I know it's true.
I'm wasting my life in sighs and strife
Thinking nothing but of you.

Poem 1

Drop It
Don't know what you're doing
Don't know what you think
Why won't you let me go away,
Just drop it?

Don't try to make me snared,
Don't try to make me sink.
Can I keep up any longer?
I don't know...

And how'd you make me think of you?
And how'd you make me care?
I want to stay my own free way,
Drifting lazily through the air...

Stop cutting off my freedom,
Stop making the days feel pink.
I've got these last few months of my own,
So will you leave here?

Stop it what you're doing,
Stop it what you think.
Why can't I let you go away,
And drop it?

Poems

Okay, so on this blog I actually have stuff to write. I've been writing poems recently to express things, and having shared them with a few people, I've been motivated to show them to more. So following will be some poems -- I write maybe one every one or two weeks, and have ten already. However a few of these are dedicated to people and so I will either not post them completely or simply not say that they're dedicated. Most are about love, friendship, or feeling lost.
