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 |
