To write poetry
you need to be born
You need to grow
consuming the energy of the sun
and the nourishment of
love

Years of change
hundreds of days
of pain, love,
sorrow, growth and
loss

A universe needs
to be born
out of the unknown darkness
before time ticked

Just so that we can write
a few elegant lines
a prose of our time
drifting, riding, on
Earth's dancing
orbit

Just Don't

Talking about things
Makes them real
And that's why
I just don't.

Speaking of my inner horrors
Brings them to life
With gnashing claws
And rotted teeth.

Pushing them back
Bottling it all up.

No one else deserves my suffering.

We still aren't talking
And that's ok.
I don't like it
But I tried to fix things
I wonder what you now think of me
...Maybe it's best I don't know?
Maybe you don't want to be reminded
Of me
But what do you think of
When you play the CD I gave you for your birthday?
I wonder
Did you throw it out?
I doubt that
You loved it
You even told me so
Now I guess I have no choice left
But to believe I venture into your mind when you drive, with music playing loud
So yeah, we aren't talking
But that's ok
(I wonder if you still read these during your breaks)

She had tired arms
to pair with his injured legs,
a broken mess they were,
but it was innocent,
she was naive
and he was clueless,
yet somehow they ended up
on each other's path
For now

Judge me.
Judge me so hard
Yeah, Maybe your face would be
Full of disgust
And hatred
But at least then...
You'd be looking at me
With a face full
Of raw emotion
And energy
No matter how negative
It may be
So judge me
Judge me so *hard

I Knew It

I knew it
Before you uttered
A single word.

And I knew it
Before the words
Even formulated
in your head.

And sometimes
Its even worse
Because I knew it
Before you did.

But I ******* knew it.

Simple reminders of conscious belief
Filter my mind with the moon’s silver glow
Satisfied truths sent to spell my relief
All that my beating heart now needs to know

Sensual visions to capture the feel
Bringing the contours of wind sculpted plains
Temptations cry out for all that is real
Filling the void that I now can explain

Cloudless these evenings of star sprinkled mist
Shimmering soft on the eclipse of love
Delicious the thoughts of your warm tender kiss
Found in these endless illusions above

Memories harbor the times that we’ve lived
Photograph remnants of places once shared
Telling the story of all it can give
Building the dreams now worth capturing there

Still we are standing alone on this eve
Counting the points of the bright scattered light
Dreams can come true if we only believe
Whispering prayers on this warm summer’s night

Hear my desires a float on the breeze
Finding their way to the one I adore
Listen, my love, for I hope but to please
Biding the time till you’re with me once more

All that I ask shall be all that I need
Merely the chance I may prove ever true
You are my life and in that I believe
Eternal my love will be only for you

She's jealous of me
No, not jealous
I sound condescending
Let me try again
She meant it as an insult
Fully knowing how it sounded
Like a sick compliment
But she meant it of course
And still it stung
She works tirelessly
Oh, how could I forget
I try, sure, she says
At the last minute
So yes, I'd say she's jealous
Though I'd never really mean it

The only part of my day
That I look forward to
Is when I go to bed
And lay there making up scenarios
In my head.

I think of comebacks
To 8th grade bullies.
I think of witty retorts
To my mother's snide comments.
I think of intelligent things to add
To conversations I had months ago.

I think of all the things
I was too scared to say.

And in my mind
I say them.
And pretend how things would be different
If only I had the courage to speak.
