My Dear Poet Aug 2021
Chained by the rage
Enraged by the cage
Encaged by the gage
Engaged by the chain
My Dear Poet Aug 2021
Your tears make it so hard
to see my reflection in your eyes
My Dear Poet Aug 2021
Sitting in the library
among dusty books
You, behind a novel
throwing me ***** looks
peering over pages
finding your stare
back to your book
I take it you don’t care
I pull my tongue out
you roll your eyes
Is that a smile?
I wave…like I’m shooing flies
you turn away
I feel the red in me rise
I look at my watch…”oh my”
…how time flies
leaving this engagement
I tuck in my chair
locking eyes, we do a dance
…one last stare
If only you weren’t as pretty
and played so hard to forget
I would have made a move
and maybe we’d have met
We could have been love at first sight
…okay…sure, love at a glance
Oh well…Good bye
pleased to make your acquaintance
My Dear Poet Aug 2021
Dead poets cannot speak for themselves
so i’ll just recite them instead
I wonder if all the voices in my head
are poets, reciting me among the dead
My Dear Poet Aug 2021
My hearts always been in the right place
till it slipped down to my knee
and trapped in my knee caps
now my hearts bending on me

My hearts always been in the right place
now I trip, slipping slow
I pick it up from off my feet
but funnily, stuck in the elbow

My hearts always been in the right place
but now, I really just don’t know
If it’s safer caged in my chest
or bent to which every way I go
My Dear Poet Aug 2021
from what I can remember
I’ve been missing you
since the day I tried to forget you
My Dear Poet Aug 2021
I’m still the same old reflection
no matter how many times
I’ve changed the mirror frame
