Diaries Poems

Emory's Diaries

In my deepest melancholic mood,
when my appetite ceases for food.
When I can hardly get an hour's sleep.
When I'm tempted for nothing to weep.
When I can scarcely retain a smile.
When happiness goes a distant mile
away from my world of emotions.
I veer off from my own commotions,
when I journey through my own feelings
to get the best of

A tale of Three Diaries

Once upon a time,
That seems so long a go now,
We were smarter and wiser,
For longer.

But we cannot take credit for that,
No, that is down to three diaries,
That once gave us daily reminders,
But always leaving the actual decision-making in our hands.

The first always there to greet us in the morning,
And tell us what day it was

Premium MemberThe Dew Diaries

I was a world famous fashion designer, and quite enraptured with the new,
Like first caress of pink, peach dawn light, smiling at the full moon's taboo.

I adored laboring with colors I loved, in my fashions, often bold and daring,
Like shocking, darkly purple blooms, a modish hue, fresh nature is wearing.

My creations graced magazines like Vogue,

Premium MemberI Dont Know

You hope that university will answer all of life’s questions, but nope.

I don’t know, 1.
There was a guy who’d been hanging around outside our residence lately. Too consistently. At first, I thought he was someone’s friend but he’s always alone. He wasn’t doing anything or bothering my roommates but that asymmetry set off my alarms.

He

DECEMBER DIARIES 

When snowmen are built and Christmas trees glow,
When a colourful world becomes pure white,
I was born this month not so long ago,

When every tree branch is laden with snow,
It's the month of giving and spreading light,
When snowmen are built and Christmas trees glow,

Carols are ringing mid the mistletoe,
The nights are darker but the

I open my eyes, no time to react
The bottle glass flies, my father's face cracked
Sirens at the window,my father's goin' to jail
 It's not the end though, my lonely face so pale
Just six years old, ripped from my home
But it had to unfold, drugged cuz of my syndrome

Open door to closed room
Ceiling smashed
Stars in a very clear sky
Fresh air

Risen

Broken glass, careful where you step

The Dilettante Diaries: "Finding Lost Keys on the Steppes of White Ivory"
 

 
Where do you place your hands
When the sands of time 
Slip through the 4th
and like reading braille
you silently derail 
to touch burning
black keys
on white ivory
you go about 
removing cold hands 
from the warm pockets 
of trapped complacency
looking for 
double sixes
roll the dice
tumble

The Dilettante Diaries: "Dominion"



Something wicked this way comes
Can you not hear it banging on it’s drums?


March on sweet innocent
35 is just a number
take a seat on the bench
catch your breath
you think you know it all
you know nil
you know none
when it comes

Dominion

Mid-way there
walking up your stairs
worried about cracked windows

We went to sleep for but a little while
 I met you in my dreams. 

You delivered to me 
all your stories
all throughout the little while 
all throughout the years.

I placed your little hand onto my heart
as you closed your eyes you breathed
