And all at once
My feather in the wind
Was taken to a point of no reach
A point beneath
Of which I held with extreme fright
But you eased me into the night
I wanted nothing to do with the light
You said alright, and kissed me
Our last hours sliver of sight
carry me home tonight,
against the burning sky.
at least i'll see it
one
last
time.

explosions;
raining fire on the mountain,
pulsing apocalyptic red;
my mind
spinning like a pinwheel
with all the things
i should have said.

i am breathing with my lungs,
but my throat is still dry.
i am coughing up blood,
but my teeth are still white.

i am nearing the apocalypse,
with eyes rimmed red
like the last setting sun;
i am warm, but i am dead.
I hate this feeling
Useless
As I watch you in pain
Unable to do a thing
I won't leave your side
And I know that means something
Unending loyalty
But still my mind spins
Crushed by the unbearable sins
Was it my fault
Is there something more I can do
To make you feel better
To mend your broken soul
I wish you would tell me
So I could give it all up
Give everything to you
So I could have a clue
As to what to do
And not feel so useless
Sitting next to you
It's hard life when you care more about others than you do yourself.
They said revenge was sweet
So dust off your tongue and tell me
How you really feel,
Sharpen your teeth so it matches
The sharp feelings inside of me
The past is a ball in chain
In a dark room somewhere, there is a key
But none will free me
There is no justice in tragedy
Just blame and agony
And too many one-sided stories
Too many sad and familiar places
Basking in all its glory,
But I can still picture their faces-
I can still see them come before me
I can feel the warmth in their hands,
And the warmth of the words
“I'm sorry”
When two poets love,
Words start to hang in the air
And lose their meaning.
Another haiku? Wow! I'm only so good with words until I actually need to use them. Just ask my girl. (Spoiler alert: I'm really bad at articulating my thoughts in the heat of the moment. That's why I'm here.)
2007
Look. ( for those with eyes to see)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Look alive this day could be your last.
Look not a gift horse in the mouth.
Look not blue if happy times are past
Look through rosy glasses if in doubt.
Look in back,you’ll turn to pillared salt
Look one direction n paddle other way.
Look daggers at the man who is at fault
Look for that needle in a stack of hay.
Look,behold your words. Speak your mind

I have found my paper store of many poems written between 2004-20012. I shall post a few for your pleasure and of course my own. This is from 2007.
oh! you blessed me with oblivion,
a pretty disguise,
and i was touched by serendipity,
a sorrowful hymn.
It broke me, when you yearned
with those sad eyes,
which wondered how could one forget
the taste of his own love
and such lies
moving on is not the problem
forgetting is
:3
The poet lives two lives.
One on the outside,
And one in their mind.

When you look in their eyes
You could see an abyss.

If you looked long enough
You could sink into it.

But most people don’t see it.

Take the time to read the words, though,
And you would know for sure.

The poet lives in two different worlds.
A little escape from the madness.
Or maybe, into.
