Hope Becomes Me
Hope Becomes me at endless thoughts of you. The world locked deep within your eyes, time simply passes by each moment I’m beside you. You don’t see yourself as I do. It’s such a shame. The endless possibilities that you will have one day. You hide from yourself. Tired as you go on. Stop being…

Slanted Couch
Slanted couch, oh how I hate you. My back aches at the thoughts of you. I twist and turn with restless nights. Half way on and half way off. Oh slanted couch there is no comfort for me tonight. Oh slanted couch, why do you torment me? My arm twisted under my pillow. No comfort…

Perfection
I stay up late analyzing you. It’s never ready to be viewed. Perfection is a tricky thing. Its not satisfied to be complete. Always in a rewrite stage. Perfection you always get in the way. Hours of review. Perfection are you tired too? Once I think I have a grasps over you. Looking at each…

Stardust
We cluster like stars falling from the skies. In varied hues we burn bright. Witnessing the beauty of night The galaxies we shine for tonight. But in that glorious flash. We begin to dull. It doesn’t last. The moment long since past. And into the dust we come again. Stardust we glimmer within. View the…

Thoughts of you
(For mommie) You watched me grow up since I was a little girl. Your words and advice I will always adore. The way you smile and protect me. In my heart you will always be. You always knew the right things to say. Somehow I wish I could hear you speak them today. Your presence…

Ghosts
(My try at a persona poem from the pic of a ghost) I miss the sound of life. Cars passing and speeding by. People interacting as they make new memories with you. Then i turn to you. Not living in the present moment but not too far forward or too far back. Constantly thinking of…

After hours
Light a candle. Quiet my mind. Leave this world far behind. A slight breeze pushing through Whispers in my ears to be at peace. Releasing what I cant control Piecing back the pieces of my soul No longer screaming from inside of me Letting go of what doesn’t serve me. Feeling my power…

W.A.R
War inside my mind Spinning as I try to keep it still. Checking my emotions Numbing how I feel War around me Nothing feels easy for me Life fighting each way I look Failing constantly War inside my home Each target it chooses skillfully We’re losing each battle Trying not to lose hope War inside…

Sometimes
(My attempt at a list poem) I don’t have the right words to say My head buried beneath the sand Feeling buried alive Flying without a plan Lost and searching for somewhere I belong Lost at which crossroad to take Trying not to lose faith Feeling alone by not lonely Putting myself last Saying yes…

UNSAID
A silenced voice. Unspoken truth. As stars we collide. With the world to view. Candidly we smile. To each their own views. Waiting earnestly for upcoming news. You fire back. I follow you. Words upon words. Nobody has a clue. In opposition you come forth spilling pieces of you. Lieing to yourself that no one…
