Anger

Anger see’s it’s dwelling seldom blessed.
Never allowing a peaceful night of rest.
Gibberish can often leave others distressed.
Edifying words will always pass the test.
Rushed thoughts are never from your best.

Ended in misery

The heat creeps into the empty fabric
only getting colder
inside the tightly closed gray jacket
no warmth of jokes and laughter
nor embraces that are increasingly glowing
please, close your eyes for a moment
let me kiss between your reddened eyelids
bitterness of isolation

And if it's tomorrow
take the time for a final greeting
when I'm still stuck at the end of the

Stormy Blues

Eyes that burrow their way into my soul. 
Bringing out what I do not show or share with most. 
Hearing the pain in my words before I see it myself. 
Seeing the tears well up in my eyes even when I hide them. 
Those eyes colored like a storm over the ocean, blue but with

Miles Away

In the vast expanse of distance, where geography stretches out like an endless canvas, I feel your presence, a gentle whisper that caresses my soul, even though you're a thousand miles away.

Every second, every minute, every hour, and every day, my longing for you grows, a crescendo of yearning that echoes through the chambers of

how did it get this far?

i'm at my wit's end
barely clinging to the last remaining illusion
~ hope being the rising sun

The Meandering Neanderthal

In his heart is burning aggression
And violence is his lifelong confession
And sure he might wear nice shoes and a tie
But that's a masquerade mask to suit the lie 
A barbarian in heart and mind
He rarely fits in with the civilized kind
Dancing on his victim's grave
He assuredly is a dastardly knave
Devilish desires feed his fury
Quelling the

Waters of Today

Water pouring like a soothing rhythm. 
A rhythm trying to soothe a restless soul. 
Water rising almost to the peak, a faint scent of lavender lingering amongst the bubbles that hover atop the steaming surface. 
The warmth summoning me, to come and wash away the uncontrollable moments of today. 
Just a girl pouring her heart

JEALOUS

Being a jealous person is a
Key to your downfall

JEALOUSY

Jealousy is a danger
To everyone involved

paradox

I felt very distant from you,
But I couldn't be remote from you,
Why? I don't know
But this is not comfortable.
But also seeing someone else 
Watching you, crushing on you,
I feel jealous, but I shouldn't.
But now, you are in my life,
 I can't change it.
I tried to stop talking to you, but couldn't.
Even if I understand you,

Second Hand Goods

She was worn and weathered, but still such a comfy fit
Had done her time; yet still was full of spit and grit

Hanging on a rail now, waiting on finding a new owner 
With a sadness as her last owner had now disowned her

Rummaging hands maul at her to see if she still has appeal
Reduced in

is this even poetry anymore

i tried to end it all last night
i failed, obviously
it's so crazy to me how life goes on
when it almost didn't
i talked to my friends today
laughed with them
smiled as if everything was normal
but i doubt they could tell anything was off
i even hung out with a friend
and i love to hang out with her but

Waste of my Time

Wait up, you’re going too fast 
Fast-paced and felt like the feelings won’t last
It’s the past, it’s so the past
It’s a waste of my time and I think I need a cast

I’m sorry, mother and father
I can’t make it any longer
I must hang my feelings up high
Can’t deny I feel so bad inside

I’m sorry to

ALONE

       Kindling lamps more now on path
      I wish to rejoice not to mourn.
      If none cares, I talk on  my own.
      I am always energetic and  in mirth.
