Not that I have nothing to say
my words are meaningless in your presence

I have nothing to give
my worth is ashes around the fire,
the heat-waves around the sun
as you are the sun

I am an entity filled with desire
thousand and one desires in one
My belongings are grains of sand, washed away
at the touch of your oceanly waves
The heat of my soul, the energy in my eyes
all drained - courtesy of your coquetry

Drunken, weak, drained, and indigent
wondering if I stand a chance

silly me.

Early in the morning: Dawn,
While still in my pajamas
And still eyes clenched shut,
I'd open the window and let
The cool, whimsical wind
Splash my face with the
Phrase "Good Morning" .
The Breeze was as serene as
The birds on the telephone wire.
2 deep breaths and I think back to you.

Eyes adjusting to the light
Scratching its way into the
Crevices of my room.
I open them wider.
I want to see everything.
These early Saturday Mornings
Tear memories from my brain
And present them in front of my
Eyes like photos at a museum.
2 deep breaths and I think back to you.

Resting my head on the windowpane,
My thoughts soar,
And my hopes plummet.
I can never get you back,
And you cannot have me.
The birds sing an unfamiliar tune
That makes my head spin.
And I suffocate in their cotton candy
Sentimental ode to the sky.
2 deep breaths and I think back to you.
2 breaths more and I think back to us.
This was one of my favorite poems that I wrote last year. This post is just to start off my poetry page and I promise new poems will be coming soon! Until then, Enjoy some of my poetry from previous years of creatively writing.

I hear the smell of chocolate ice cream
Ringing through my ears
It echoes through my head
Like an old ***** in an England church
I can taste Canon in D Major,
Refreshing like lemonade
On a hot summer day
I smell my favorite songs
Like the perfume rack at Macy’s,
When I read the printed word
I sigh, because I have tasted chocolate cake
And when I touch sandpaper
I taste banana cream pie
And when I see you
I hear the most beautiful ballad
Impalpable, playfully teasing me with its notes
Dancing in my head
Waiting to be attained
I never will reach it
But I will reach you

Ways to make love work.
You must block all the others out.
Why look elsewhere?
If you have true love standing before you.

Take the blinders off.
And recognize the truth.
Your truest lover is always before you.
Only the fools realize it too late.

So , don't be that fool.

Wakeup in the morning and smile.
Alerting them to why?
Sleep good at night.
And smile about the blessing lying next to you.

Don't be that fool.
Crying when true love has walked out upon you.

Love is a treasure.
That we sometimes tries to measure.
When there really is no need.
When you're aware of your blessings.

wake up today
and smile
that who you are
is going to be better tomorrow
and the day after
if you
wake up today and smile.
The blind see that love is eternal.
