Some days are barren.
Dead.
Lifeless.

Some days are lush.
Growing.
Productive.

Some days are barren.
Some days are lush.
Today is barren.
Tomorrow is lush.

Bring down your worries.
Bring happy memories.
Some days are barren.
Some days are lush.
Be happy.

I thought we can be together;
Through THICK AND THIN;
But on VALENTINE’S DAY;
You said, “I DON’T WANNA LOVE YOU ANYMORE”.

Mem’ries are TAKING ME BACK;
Over and over again;
To the pain I felt;
THRU THESE TEARS.

So, IF YOU SEE HER;
LET ME KNOW;
I’ll RUN and try to forget.
In solitude, I’ll chase MALIBU NIGHTS.
Appreciation poem for LANY's Malibu Nights Album
I love him
I tell myself
I know that
We will be together forever
I don’t believe that
We could be separated
My thoughts tell me that
He’s the love of my life
Sometimes my heart lies and says
I could live an eternity
Without him
Like my friends say
“We’re perfect for each other”
And you can’t tell me
He’s not the one.

Now read from bottom to top.
Other poets write of love
Or beauty, anguish, death;
Of yearning, angst or pity
Tangled up in every breath.

Other poets use their words
As weapons or as shields,
Gauging by reactions
All the power writing yields.

Other poets elevate
Their subjects way up high,
Seeking truth or explanations,
Answers to their aching “Why?”

I, though, on the other hand,
Just write what I observe –
The daily challenges in life
We do or don’t deserve.

Other poets’ lofty thoughts
May, more than mine, be read,
But I’ll continue rhyming
Like I always do, instead.

in order for me
to get better it seems
that being broken
is the only way to learn
how to heal
I am possibly going to be recieving professional help soon, so I am in a good mood at the moment. been doing a lot of thinking and reflecting, so hopefully i'll have some more pieces up :)
She
Her throat is growing flowers
But she's got cobwebs in her mouth
She has so much to say
But she just can't get it out

Some like it hot
Some like it cold
Most move to Florida
When they're 60 years old.

When the moon finally meets it's ceiling
Ahh, I wish I could describe the feeling

The countryside gives me a terrific peak
Early sun illuminates an anacamptic creek

The cricket's intuition ends their rhythmic chirp
I can see the dew glisten on the grass and the dirt

All silence - besides the wind and the bluejay
They spin through the sky for a game the two play

Warm waves of air push over the hills
Goosebumps ensue but I welcome the chills

This is a moment that an artist might draw
but he simply can't because he's part of it all

This is a setting that our memories reluctantly dilute
Though recollection of chores are crisp and acute

Try as I may - I can not pocket this instant
For when the day emerges it all becomes distant
This was a response to a challenge:
Quickly jot down four verbs , four adjectives, and four nouns. Write a poem using all 12 words. (I used a random word generator)

Verb: Draw, spin, dilute, push
Noun: game, setting, intuition, moon
Adjective: early, warm, rhythmic, anacamptic
Take a peek inside his poems
if you really want to know him.
He hides himself deep, immersed
a tiny piece in every verse.

Take a peek and take your time
savour the moment of every line.
Relish the thought of what lies there
and appreciate his soul laid bare.
