poetry
Below are examples of poetry I have written between the years of 2004 and 2014.
honest lips still lie
2014
I hear you better with your mouth closed.
I can't endure the lies you've imposed.
So if actions do speak louder than words,
Let's be mute and finally hear the truth.
goodbye
2013
I have to know
How things will go
If I stay
And although we're trying
I feel like I'm dying
This way
I'll never forget
All the things that you said
To me
I shouldn't let
These things like regret
Break me
Help me decide
With your own two eyes
If we are meant to see
This hopeless illusion
It has no conclusion
Except pain and misery
It just goes to show
That all that we know
Is deceiving
So with all that said
There must be an end
I've made my amends
I'm leaving
four seasons
2011
The Autumn moon,
It sang a tune,
One night from dusk til' dawn.
The Summer's gone,
And not too long,
Will Winter soon creep on.
fall and remove
2010
To lose and be lost
is a journey of absence
to figure the cost
of emotion.
To love and be loved
is the crack of a whip
to sting, bruise, and encompass.
Make steady fast
to escape existence.
As elegant as death,
we part.
And to stay in the circle,
the loop of shame,
you must learn to sacrifice your beliefs.
nostalgia
2014
When you look at a photo
Of a time before
Oh how it was so normal
In the moment.
But you wish and you yearn
That you could get that moment back
Wishing for something different
Than just right now.
It’s those things that you appreciate
After they’re gone
Never knowing how extraordinary
Normal could be.
Remembering emotions
And the feel of winter’s breeze
From a photo of a memory
Of who you were.
