Clarissa Collins: Poems

Beauty

Beauty

Your beauty radiates like the sun, but unlike the sun, your beauty will never die. Unlike death your beauty will last forever and touch everyone in its path.

I tried with my first poem

Feelings I have for him

Clarissa Collins Feb 2014

Feelings I have for him

There’s nothing left for me here, and there never will be

I fell in love once, but now that time has passed

I never got to tell him why

I dared to hurt him

I wonder if he knows

The way I feel, the way I cry

I wonder if he knows

The way I think about him, the way I act

I wonder why I even try

Does he know this misery

that he has met before

Will I ever get the chance to prove

that I won’t hurt him anymore

There’s nothing left for me, just sadness, growing old

I miss the time when it was us,

Don’t you?

But I guess it’s for the best that we aren’t together,

Even though I love you more than anyone would ever,

But I guess this is the way it’s going to be
Say goodbye to him for me.

For you

Clarissa Collins Feb 2014

For you

I wanted to
kiss the
bundles of stars
in your face

I wanted to
smooth the
rough edges of your
skin
weaved with mine
so full of
hidden pain
and
boyish innocence

I wanted to
melt into your
warm white walls

I didn't want to leave you

the heavens watched us
while we slept
in those cold
January nights

angels
full of
envy
above us

I suppose they
wanted you
to become
a fleeting blotch
of red
in my heart

I suppose
the whispers of
fate
decided to
change us

I didn't want to leave you

I always tasted the
sweetness
of your skin
as if for the last time

with gentle fingers
and sleepy eyes
we fell in love

I always tangled the
stars in your hair
I always kissed
the scars on your hands

as if I knew
we were going to
die

the angels have
you
now

the man I loved

and I have
sorrow
and
one million pictures of you

lodged in my chest

Just random

— The End —
