I've recently found comfort in poetry. I hope to let people inside my mind to see the madness that ensues. I usually write as a way to cope when I am sad so I do write rather dismal at times but it helps me get out of a rut and I truly strive to be a happy and positive person. Heartbreak seem to be my favorite topic to write about--cliche as it may be. May your day be great and thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoy.
I sit here day by day
Wishing for different things
Things don't really mean anything
In the scheme of things
We are just here for a while
I want my loved ones to out number
my bank account-
And my life
to be more than a 9 to 5
Dying for things I 'love'
That will never hold me when I am sick
Or love me when I'm gone
My imprint on this world
Should be more than my belongings
and an amount of digits
To create something beautiful to leave behind
Or perhaps a kindness or love
Or wise words for someone who needs
That may just stick
Is all I could truly want
In a world like this

Does the anger ever consume you?
Do you ever feel the fire
build in your heart
pumping through your veins
to balled fists and a screaming head
making deals with the devil
to let the dam break

I love the sounds the rivers make
babbling,
sloshing
tumbling against rounded rocks
pushing yesterdays stream
into tomorrow
wading it away as if to say goodbye
for if the river does not move
it is bound to flood

The earth beneath my feet
Thrums with her heart beat
The tree branches sway
With the changing day
Hiding scars of days past
As did the last
When will you learn of past mistake?
Of avoiding demons come to take
Last few strands of sanity hanging on for my own sake.
After years of safe lies to yourself
Can you face your ownself
With courage for the next day?
To keep them at bay
To fight for my own rationality
For my memories have taken my reality

Streaks of the past
Wiped out of sight
As I open my mind
Anew
My surrenders to demons
cease with my own will
The realization of my own power
To stop these thoughts
And see life with grace
Have saved my heavy heart
The small blessings
Must be acknowledged
And misfortunes understood
For our souls to be content

You're eyes my favorite get away
My face mirrors yours
As the sides of your mouth turn to a grin
And I know
Your kindness and heart
Shine from within
As your spirit leads you
I know only good directions...
Oh how I love
Such a true soul
Who could make me radiate at my lowest points
And guided my through seas too rough
I don't know what I'd do without
My other half
To adventure these roads ahead
And keep me from losing myself again

Her eyes a whisper
Of melancoly tunes
While her cries rang out in
Waves of shock
Crash onto the shore
Of my ever present worries
Please cease the pain
Because
As the sun set
To meet the darkness
Sleep took her
And the stars looked on
In a looming somber
A blanketed peace
Soothed her dampened eyes
Even just for a little while

And I know
As the wind blows, blows
I will be carried home
As the forest inevitably
Always infatuated with life
As the gentle manner of the rabbit
Is always betrayed by the hawk
As the grass rooted to this earth
Will only experience life running past
And as the crickets sing
For the darkness coming near

She stopped, her lips open agape.
The winds howled as they enveloped her, rippling a grey Marled sweater against her back like a sinking ships flag as she glared at the sea.
Her stare was a devilish dream sinking you into a dark daze.
The waves screamed as they crashed and lightning flashed against her eyes.
What beautiful hazel eyes they were.
She then met my eyes
With the stealth of a hawk
A swift motion followed by a shocked expression came across her,
I just wanted to help,
I said in dispair,
Such awful thoughts in such a person.
No wonder nature created women, with such fierce and compassionate nature tied up into one.

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
