To fall in love— is it right or wrong?
When it compels me to feel so young.

Memories of love aren’t light to bear,
They often make me laugh and tear!

I held someone’s hand to walk so long,
She pushed me away and left me alone!

I cannot forget her company and care;
I long for the days we once did share!
Love the outside
of those you meet
it is the only route
to the inside
and a love complete
How come I go to sleep with you
yet wake up
alone

If you don't heal what hurt you,

You'll bleed on people who didn't cut you.

See
I see you
although
I desperately
look
the other way
I just cannot write the words
that I want
cannot find them anywhere
so I won’t
I will leave it
and try again tomorrow
Stories swirl free
Memory fantasy dream
Constellating stars
Blurring transposing like art
Lonely snowflakes weep,
Wishes for gifts meant to keep
It's about things held deep inside swirling, shifting, dissolving, and then starting to clarify. I'm hoping the meter helps illustrate that?

Tried to rest my poet brain
Laid on a pillow, and let it drain
Drain it did, oozed out my ears
ran down my legs and disappeared
Now my head is filled with air
Not a single original thought dwells there
I have not one vivid revelation to share
And quite frankly, I don't care
