Untitled
Corey Hoffman Nov 2014
Run your hands through my hair,
feel my soul barely there.
Hold my pieces frail like glass,
look through them into my past.
It was like sand smooth but course,
then lightning struck with such a force.
It turned that sand into glass,
and now you see my fragile past.

The Way
Corey Hoffman Aug 2014
I had dreamt a dream
                So it would seem
                     And in that dream
                         Things would gleam
                      Gleam with a light
                That shone so bright
Just to show what was right

Heart Fire
Corey Hoffman Feb 2014
Just a happy smile, can last me for a while.
Just a beautiful voice, can make this boy rejoice.
Just a pleasant scent, can drive away the discontent.
Just a loving touch, can show that I mean so much.

It's these four things that I desire, to fuel my heart fire.

To Whom It May Concern
Corey Hoffman Feb 2013
To whom it may concern, it's for you that which I yearn.

Thinking of when we're together, can make the long days better.
You say that I'm caring and sweet, but really it's you who can't be beat.
To claim you're nothing special, would be like saying the stars are just celestial.
It's for you though I'll make this exception, and allow your misconception.

To whom it may concern, it's your perfection for which I yearn.

Alone
Corey Hoffman Nov 2012
Here I sit, alone at my desk.
Alone with myself, not always the best.
I sit and I ponder, I wonder what next.
For this soul left asunder, alone at his desk.

Be single they say, it's all for the best.
"For the best?" I stressed, maybe for the rest.
For this soul who sits, alone at his desk.
Alone with himself, is not for the best.

Dreams
Corey Hoffman Nov 2012
When night-time stalks, my dreams do come quick
For the thoughts before dreams, deem me too sick
As thoughts seem to ponder, and wonder what if
My dreams can not wander, or stammer or sniff

Off yonder you see, or catch just a whiff
The dreams seem to plea, "We'll be back in a jif"
"Fall in with me" they say, there will be no cliff
For the dreams you shall see, will show you your if
Dreams can show you what you can only say "what if" about. Dreams are a way to see a version of the future your mind has for you.

The Girl
Corey Hoffman Nov 2012
The pretty girl, she's there for me
The witty girl, can it be
But really girl, can't you see
These words unfurl, straight from me

I mean it girl, these things you see
I'll say it girl, the one for me
I'll be there girl, like you for me
The pretty girl, shining like the sea

— The End —
