condescending tone
like a mother to a child
free of emotion

Cyclic Rendition
Connor Squires
Dec 2013
Cyclic Rendition
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

Dec 2013
Argument of Certitude
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

Protest Silence
A cry for help
A
protest.
A last resort
A plan undone
Filled with defiance
Still unnoticed
He burns in **silence.

Alonely Place

Alonely Place
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.

Sitting I Wait Hopless
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

Relations with the Sea

Relations with the Sea
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

You'll Never Know I Love You
Connor Squires
Dec 2013
You'll Never Know I Love You
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

end.
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

Like Birds
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

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

Mortals
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
