Lifeless Authority
Connor Squires Dec 2013
condescending tone
like a mother to a child
free of emotion

Cyclic Rendition
Connor Squires Dec 2013
A seal is broken

A problem arisen

An argument settled

A person belittled

Apathy present

A victor discerned

What will it take for us to  understand
That a  question answered,
is not always a lesson learned

Argument of Certitude
Connor Squires Dec 2013
Someone once told me
that life is a given
that we were put here
hollow and fruitless
to only exist like dust

I argued against this
saying life is ambiguous
that we were put here
for some dialectic reason
that is bigger than us

In the end we agreed
these were both legitimate
that we were put here
no greater than dust
to achieve our finality

Protest Silence
Connor Squires Dec 2013
A cry for help
A protest.
A last resort


A plan undone
Filled with defiance
Still unnoticed
He burns in **silence.

Haiku of Man
Connor Squires Dec 2013
I sit with the world
This perfect imperfection
Surrounds my body

Sitting I Wait Hopless
Connor Squires Dec 2013
I wish I knew
I wish. I know.
You know I wish
I wish for you
You for me
And me for you
You wish you knew
You wish. I know.
You wish for love
I say let go

Alonely Place
Connor Squires Dec 2013
Alone, I watch contently

A mother skipping with her son

Two friends, laughing

Children romping in the grass

Lovers,
lips locked

Alone in this togetherness
I wish for someone to hold me

Though I enjoy being alone,
I don’t fancy being                                                                       *lonely.

Relations with the Sea
Connor Squires Dec 2013
The waves slowly lap the shore
like a hand reaching for something distant

You sit wishing there was more
but the waters rhythm seems persistent

Examining cracks that the waves have worn
your mind is made up, but your heart remains torn
Connor Squires Dec 2013
You're every move is perfection
Every word a soft kiss
I long for your affection
Every breath, pure bliss

But if you said that you love me
What would I do

remain silent

Becuase you'll never know I love you

Haiku #1
Connor Squires Apr 2012
I wish there were more
wandering the empty halls
more of me to give

end.
Connor Squires Apr 2012
Life is not an unending journey
Life is a game
a definite start
an unavoidable ending
A game we were meant to lose

Like Birds
Connor Squires Apr 2012
Thoughts flutter through my mind
and nest in the holes of my memory
I don't get to choose where they go
but whether or not I find them

Love, Life
Connor Squires Apr 2012
Is love simply a feeling
or just some sick trick
formed by the creator
so we would all give a ****

Mortals
Connor Squires Dec 2013
Life is not mine to give or take
Life is not mine to mold or make
Life is not mine to be bought or sold
Life is simply mine to have and to hold

— The End —
