Best Wadley Poems


Anywhere There's Peace
I feel most at home
When I am beside you.
I am able to breathe freely & abundantly.
You speak kindly to my soul,
& nurture the points of direction
Which I grow.
My sanctuary of peace,
My birds eye view of serenity.
I feel most at home
When I am in view of...

Paying Attention
A lot of the time It’s not easy,
Finding someone that can
Finish your sentence before
You can finish your thought.
Someone that appreciates the things
You care about.
To breathe life into you
When everything else feels
Exhausting.
A lot of the time
Vocal gets exhausting &
The physical is just that.
Sometimes,
You run out of...

Magnetism
We were but strikes of lightening, sealed in a glass jar
Fumbling about with nowhere to go.
Exhausted, we conducted ourselves
With a slight curb of enthusiasm.
Sprung to life with the slightest touch
Electric current twirling forward, then back.
Sparks igniting beneath our toes
Traces of where we've been crackled.
Sizzled in...

Banana Love
From the tree we both grow,
Pointed in different directions.
Banana tree, supple in the wind.
Perfect brown spots, silk yellow skin.
From the tree we both grow,
Inching closer, my lips intwined
In yours.
Green until ripe.
Although there are plenty,
It’s you I adore.
Poised in different directions.
How you’ve grown, thick in width.
The...

Valid
At times I sit & wait for the sun
To uncover all the things about you 
that for some reason or another I cannot say.
For every thought I've had about you 
I've written down, torn out and swallowed 
in the spine of a different book.
One covered...

Love of My Life
In today’s world it’s easy to lose track of time
& otherwise get caught up in what’s going on.
So many families split up, so many loved ones
Lose track of who they are. Why they came together.
Divorcing a memory they can never truly run away from.
In today’s...

Friday Saturday Someday
Friday Saturday someday, one second
Will multiply into infinity & infinity into
Eternity.
In between sapphire & ruby sunset.


Friday Saturday someday, my name
Will sound different dangling from your lips
& I won’t be far.
A constant thought ready to appear in urgency.
Suddenly ready to appear again.


Friday Saturday someday, I’ll stare...

Freely
There are over a million things
To do in the name of pleasure.
Over a million more that involves
Company.
The person I could be,
The person I’d love to be,
Over a million things that could go wrong.
This thought a wave pattern found
In an ocean of sheets,
The shore of the...

Volcanic Wildfire
Now I am certain of nothing
But your existence, in chaotic disbelief.
The scurry of feet patter down the path
Of the avenue & city blocks downtown.
As beautiful as you are dangerous,
Now open to the world around you.
A fiery ship intentionally dragging it’s
Anchor in obsession.
Not knowing how or...

Label Everything
Over the course of a minute,
Nonetheless a single hour.
We say a lot of things.
Some we mean, some we don’t.
Although sometimes meaningful,
It’s the things we don’t that are most
Pivotal.
Not everything we think is meant to be
Said aloud.
The silence in-between hugs
The silence between arguments.
We hoop & we...

California King
California King


My bed may not be as large
As California or have a blanket
As deep as the ocean.
But it’s comfy and shares
The same view as if we were there.
When I am asleep with you,
Everything becomes ideal.
One of the best feelings the universe
Could bestow.
To discover a slice...

First Contact
It's been so many nights
I've scrolled down my contact list
& Highlighted your name.
So many nights you've crossed
My mind and never left.
Wherever you call home
Wherever I call home.
Places I thought we'd never go
Desperate finding our way back.
You're name a direct reflection
Of the sun,
My finger an eclipse.
Unknown...

Truly Meant
She dug a hole in the earth
& buried her heart where no one
Could find it.
Through my tongue I have dug
And excavated through a person
I thought I knew.
A region I still travel both known and unknown.
Through ancient wisdom & modern text,
A known philosopher of over 500...

Mid-Sneeze
I've never had anyone look
At me the way that you do.
The first time I saw it, I tried
To catch it but missed.
Much like a shooting star
Fast & fleeting.
I remember the look on your face,
The pieces of gold shone by the light.
Your eyes, they do something...
