I wrote throughout highschool and have been looking for a good way to get my works noticed. Hello Poetry gave me that opportunity, though I've had digital copies of my works for years. Every poem I post will have it's original date (to the best that I can remember) in the notes. Each one has also been written strictly on inspiration, so nothing was forced. Hope everyone enjoys.
She goes about unaware
That without her he is bare.
Little does this cat know,
The poison she gives with each “Hello,”
As he lays dying like an old dog
She begins to see through the past’s dense fog.
He’d always stood for her,
Her shield whom wouldn’t deter,
He said “I’ve always loved you, but now I’m done,
Please don’t forget, you are my one.”
Tears are unstoppable and they share their only kiss,
Now the tragedy is that sweet taste she’ll forever miss.

I see
Yet fail to understand
Not sure what to think
And just as much what to believe
Has he replaced me?
I think he has,
It’s a sad hard truth.
You love him the way you loved me
You treat him as I was treated
I want to be friends
To me nothing should’ve changed
Why’d you change,
And toss me out?
As long as your happy
However my fate and well being
Matter not.
Just please stay happy
And I will too.

Well, God ****
I did it again.
We tried so hard and got so far
But I took the shot in the throat
Hurt you so bad
So now I’m out here on this boat
Call this a play,
The actors are us
It all began seven months before that one May,
And we followed the set without so much as a fuss
Now four years in the making
The grande finale is finally here,
An end to misery,
An end to pain.
And taking the damage,
I won’t die in vein.

Here I sit and ponder
How long it shall be
How long will I wonder?
Suddenly your bright blue eyes
Shine into my darker brown
Saving me before my chance comes to drown.
The kiss of life has never been so sweet,
The kiss of yours has only been sweeter
The bliss you give me radiates through every street
Ecstatic when your soft skin touches
My rough worked hands,
I can’t help but to long this forever
Beautiful red hair,
Soft tender lips,
The way you sway your smooth hips
I love everything about you and yourself
From the aura of your presence
To the red blush of your cheeks
You have a seamless soul,
The kind, helpful nature
Your playful tease.
I love you forever and always
I’ll take you for mine
Will you take me?
I just want your sweet and tender love.
I’ll take you for my wife,
My sister’s sister
Will you wed me?

I miss you more than ever.
I’ll promise to keep close,
But away… NEVER!
I need to have you in my arms
I wish it was me you’d chosen.
I’m trying to get you back with all my charms
Now you’re happy, so I will wait.
At least you love me still,
I just need to get your kind of bait.
This poem’s written to you, my love
And sadly it ***** so bad it could ****
But I will write still,
Because your smile is an angel’s from above

Confused in life,
There’s plenty of strife.
My brain is scattered.
For you I lust.
She may be there,
But the happiness is just a hair.
She keeps it minimal,
You let it bust
You think it’s you,
I know it’s me.
Solve this please…
Don’t let love rust
I love you so much,
So much it’s hard to touch;
A soul so perfect and sweet.
Your love’s return is a must
So far off I miss my target
I want your forbidden love,
The one he won’t let me have.
Just flow with your trust…
I’m about fed up with trying
I’ll give up all possible solutions
I’ll let you go…
But only when I let the world go…
And you’ll get to deliver the killing ******

Mind boggling beauty and love,
You have made me your slave.
Bestowed every gift just by your presence,
Elated by every thought.
Love for you has become my only emotion,
Love and trust returned is now my only obsession.
Always and forever this will burn.
Forgetting the world and its worries,
Overcoming past sorrows with our shared joy.
Romeo could never have dreamt of anything better.
Ebullient is how we shall feel from this moment on
Vagaries come in dozens as you come to be by my side,
Eternally together our happiness shines.
Rehashing the subject is simply unavoidable.

Take it one step at a time
Let the natural beauty sink in
If you rush,
You’ll crash and fall
Keep it steady
Keep it safe
Don’t get scared half-way
Don’t turn around and give-up
You’ve worked so hard,
Why throw it away?
You’re nearly there,
And didn’t you come to stay?

Good morning my love,
I’m indescribably happy to see you, love.
You’re here to make me happy, love
In my arms where I can hold you forever.
Good afternoon love,
I love hearing your voice, love.
Tell me you love me still,
I love you more than the doves!
Good-night my precious sweet,
It’s not my soul I pray to keep.
As long as you’re here, I’ll be fine.
Now let us sleep in peace and dream of “us”.
The nightmare begins…
Good mor-…
Love?
Where have you gone?
Who’s taken you away?
Why are you not in my arms, my love?
I am praying for you this afternoon, love.
I seriously miss you love,
You meant and mean everything to me…
I was fired today on funny grounds,
Complaining of my, quoting the boss,
Missing “imaginary” wife.
I am dead this night love…
I can’t stand being without you,
Searching this world after is my goal.
Finding you, I’ll make it inevitable.
I need you love, you have my heart.
Waking in a cold sweat…
Another nightmare, love.
This was by far the worst,
Promise me again…
You’ll be with me ‘til the end.

Flitter, flap, flap.
Flapping away in the new found freedom
Free as a bird I can feel it happening
The cage is removed and I’m taking wing.
If I run away,
I’ll be back in a day.
Cause I’ve somehow become addicted
To the iron taste of your imprisonment.
I’m by your side
No matter what you say
I need you in my life
Forever and always
Here I am,
Like it or not.
You taught me everything
Now I’ll protect you from every shot.
Rely on me
To answer your prayer
I’ll get all you need
And give you everything
What you mean
Is everything
Let me hold you once more
And we’ll make the covenant to never
Ever walk out the last door.
