#camera poems on Hello Poetry

Jácquêline Lewis Jan 2018

Could you imagine
What it might be like
To be a camera
You might see...

France

A family

Beautiful forests

But what if your owner was a serial killer
Then you might see...

Blood

Death

Pain

Yes... a camera is a daring job.

In a way, we all are cameras, our eyes the lenses, our retinas the sensors, and our memories the SD Cards. But we are selective cameras -- we only remember what is important to us.

click

I click every moment
without any memories

Just click one button
it captures the moment

Feeling bored
WAIT
I click the button
expressing myself like I lost
because I just click
the wrong button ..........

I just click wrong button and lost all my pictures

Camera

That night the air smelt like cotton candy
The lights a kaleidoscope
I could taste the saltiness of the air
My toes burning from the warm sand
I remembered everything that day
Especially you
Your eyes sparkled like those fairy lights
Your lazy smile, so effortless
Your soft brown hair tousled up by the wind or my hands I couldn't tell
And in that moment it was like everything except for you went out of focus like in a new HD camera.

Grievances - Camera and Pen

Would you like
to make
a change?
Why not
start with
your name?

Hon, you can make
the changes you
want to make.

If you need help
ask and recieve
Or for sake of
autonomy
I'll let you be
to send instead
unspoken love
over the air

Why maintain
your face
today?
Why not
burn to
be brand new?

(x2)
Change your name.
Change your face.
Change your mind.
Change your style.

Endings aren't always dark halls
Endings can be dark spells
Tunnel to the denouement
There you'll find camera and pen

The End

p.s.

told ya ;p

polaroid, devoid

"When you're lonely,
what do you do?"

"I take pictures
of my favorite places."

"But why do you
keep taking
pictures of the same spots?"

"Because sometimes,
I wish
you'd appear
in one of them."

(j.m.)

i take many pictures of my favorite places almost expecting you'd be what i captured, wjh.

The Camera's Eye

Yesterday
Capturing a moment
A quick blink of the camera's eye
Curiously I stare back at me
The smile that just touches my lips
A lovely face unmarred by pain
How well hidden
The darkness that festers
With anger and churning fear
Preparing for battle
Once again this yearning need
Escape the cage
Trying to drown me

Moment Divine

My eyes light up
with an inspiring scene
as I walk in day.
Out comes my cel phone.
But no ring is heard
just the click click
of a camera
catching a moment
in time divine.

Just what The poem said happened. Too bad I can't show you the pictures. LOL
