Dawning

When you come to the realization.
What an awful destination.
Most of us wish we'd never arrived.
An awakening.
A moment where you realize that you never really mattered.
That that person never thought of you as anything other than just "somebody".
When all you ever wanted was to be someone.
The angst sets in. Consuming you.
All the words meant nothing to them. Those things that took all the courage you had to say out loud. Were of little to no value to them.
Juxtaposed to a feeling of hopelessness.

To the woman who crosses my mind

To the woman who crosses my mind

A desert between us?
Only in your dreams.
Your longing?
Reciprocal, it seems.
Your heart ache?
Nothing compared to mine.
My promises?
Rare and always held.
Your smile?
Bright sunray
Throughout my day.
Your heart beats?
My earthquakes.
Your verses,
Daily narcotics.
My horizon?
Just to love you,
On and on.

DARKNESS

DARKNESS

Dark is the night, by the light of day

Harsh are the words, which some people say

Grievous the malaise, which we often feel

Deep are the wounds, of a hurt that won’t heal

Lasting the wrong, to whom it is done

Fleeting the moment, when praises are won

Tragic the loss, of someone we love

Empty the feeling, when they are thought of

Power of Words

Power of Words

You are not the only one that's broken
Do you even realize how hurtful those words where that was spoken
You voice is all I can hear
It keeps ringing in my ear
"Your an awful person"
Made my depression worsen
Do you realize what you've done
You didn't place in my hand the gun
You just gave me reason to pull the trigger
I wish your last words you would reconsider

Guess you don't care what your words cost
For it was only me that you lost

The long and short of it

The long and short of it

.

*I find the poetry I read
While running through this site
Takes my breath away from me
And makes me want to write

But when I sit to do the same
With thoughts I have to share
I drop the pen and realize
That I can not compare

For here I find so many words
From in their hearts so deep
Emotions put down on the page
Within my mind do seep

Amazing is a word I use
Describing what I see
Every day there’s something new
Right there in front of me

I’d really like to name a few
But please don’t take this wrong
My list would have a hundred names
And make this thing too long

I know that none of you would stay
And read this to the end
So I’ll just say to everyone
My thanks to you again

And now with that I’ll end this piece
So happy to report
I managed to thank everyone
While keeping this quite short

Still too long???
I am amazed at all of the wonderful poetry I find on this site.
Thank you to everyone.

The Curtain

The Curtain

The curtain comes down tonight
To put to bed this sorrowful sight
This play of horrific frights
Had to end, it's only right
For the writer had nothing left to write
