A growing collection of poems I have written over the past few years.
FIRE

Fire, spirit of the sun
Wax, thou melting flesh of earth
Prove the work that I have done
Bring it light, or beggar death
But do not end
Until my final flame
Has been spent against the night




Untitled
Lost and alone
I search the world
Not for fame, or even love
But merely for myself
I've spun out of control
No moorings, no soul
I've lost my smile
And heartfelt sighs
Working to death
My heart just dies
I want to only know myself
I ask not for fortune
Fame, love, or wealth
I just...
Want to find myself




Untitled
It's Dark Where I am
And I cannot see the light
There are shadows all around me
And my heart is full of fright
Everyone is happy
Everyone can't see
That there are storm clouds a'brewing
Upon the peaceful sea
It's dark where I am
And I cannot see the light
I'm running from him
And all we do is fight
The yellling gets more fierce
My soul the tears do pierce
One day soon, there'll be no room
My heart is near to breaking
And my hands, they are a'shaking
My lips are now a'quakeing
And my hate is now awaking
And it's dark where I am
I cannot see the light
There are shadows all around me
And my heart is full of fright



Butterfly

If I were a butterfly
I'd flutter here and there
If you were a butterfly
We'd make quite the pair
But if I weren't a butterfly
And you could do these things
I'd pick you up my butterfly
And rip off your fucking wings


Humanity's Strife

Looking back on my life
I've found it full of strife
Some of it I claim
For I am not without blame
And then there are those days
That should have turned out different ways
But what is life
Without a bit of strife?
Merily, Merrrily floating along
Events no more than a perfect song?
That does not seem to be me
Or even the course of humanity
For we are creatures of passion
Always runnin' and dashin'
We will run headlong
Until our days are gone
Busy busy bees we be
Alas, that is the way of humanity


Pregnancy

How I love thee
The way you move and grow
And how you very soon will know
The love that you will feel
My knowledge that it is real
The way my body is changing
And how your growth is ranging
From so small as to be you
This child that is so new
I can't wait to see you
Cannot wait to love you
