 Aug 2016 Stranger Blue

she
rarely if ever sings anymore
just clutches the limb like
its her last thing
turns her head now and then
and the cats have lost interest
the ***** will avow
the cats never even
look her way
they have Mockingbirds and Jays
to chase
and she just sits there
nary a caw or tweet
or a turn of her beak at
a worm
and
I used to love to hear her sing
Come on my dearest, she chirped.
Since he flew off that day
and never returned,
I have not heard a word.
V
An auspicious vicissitude
Can easily become a brevity of euphoria
And emotions become a poetic verbiage
In our unuttered votive of veracity
Due to our mind's vicarious compliance with our heart's volition
Second poem I wrote for my poetry class.
AU
The girl finds her courage
and makes herself heard
and known
so she doesn't end up alone
in the darkness
and despair.
Where she could actually love herself
A recurring chant.
One that makes many of those who suffer
Compulsive liars
whether it be towards others
or themselves.
Even now, even if I keep what is written to myself, I cannot help but hold back.
It is all I've ever done, all I've ever known.
Symphonies in my mind,
entire stories, movies unable to be unleashed.
Masterpieces longing to break free.
All stuck, trapped in my head.
Scared to admit what lies and hides inside me to the world and myself.
Enveloped in a blanket of numbness, the fiery passion dwindling.
You being my inspiration,
But lacking the will and strength to write.
Another poetry project. The theme was writer's block.
In this field where red roses die,
turns black and shrivels and dry,
Is where tulips thrive,
Yellow and white they multiply,
Dyed grey is the sky,
As storm clouds roll by,
An icy wind bites, despite
The raging fire inside.
Here, love is despised
As all is deprived.
This is where dreams, hope, and desire
Shall meet its demise
In solitude, due time.
I wrote this when I read that yellow and white tulips represented unrequited/ one-sided and hopeless love
