A Ribbon

A ribbon,
Adrift in the breeze
My hand goes to catch it
It trembles and flees

It dances about,
Floating on air,
But where the wind takes it,
I can't follow it there,

So fly far away,
Where I can't remember,
And leave from my side,
In this cold dark december.

Doubt the Night

Doubt,
The answer to my fears,
The night,
I lay awake with tears,

Doubt,
The question left unasked,
The night,
Character left unmasked.

Can You Hear Me

Alone,
Lost in the sea,
Turn out the lights,
Whisper to me,

Again,
Follow my heart,
Lead me astray,
Never apart,

Can you hear me,
Can you see me,
Can you say my name,

What's in a message,
A moment,
A brand new day

Secrets

Drowning in the pain,
The memory of youth,
The kindness of the name,
And echoing in truth,

Followed from the ashes,
The whispers of a lie,
The name that wishes everything,
Where secrets go to die.

Untitled

In darkest night,
In deepest cold,
Away the shadow,
Deepest fear,

In growing stillness,
Dying breath,
Live this truth,
Of my caress.

Caught on Tape

Hands tremble,
Mouth's dry,
Words escape me,
When and why?

Body quivers,
Nerves don't stop,
Where'd they go,
Why'd I stop?

All I want,
It all escapes,
Why go on,
Caught on tape?

The Fog

The fog in my mind,
It won't go away,
A sickness,
A fondness,
A tear that won't stay,

It roils and storms,
The lightning of thought,
The bittersweet call,
Of something you're not.

I don't write poetry much anymore, but i do enjoy it every now at then. Thank you all for reading my stuff, it means more than you know.
