Long Selena Poems

Selena...Sarah the Sorceress
Russell...the Ghost of Never-land
This year has not been mine
Death laughs at me as he steals my grandfather from me
while I plead emptily for him to take me instead
yet I fail to realize I'm...

Hello world
Hello universe
Today I apologize
today I apologize to you
today I apologize
for giving you my worst
for performing below my best
for making empty promises I can't keep

Is it time again
Is this another day again
where I sit up once more
waste my fingers to the bone
to describe my grievance with the Sorceress
named Sarah...
No...not this time
Is it time again

I sit...

Obsessed

Hours and hours practising 
“Practice makes perfect!”
Others have described Antonio’s playing as perfect.

Classic rock 
Played so softly
Zooming
Grooving

Got it playing
So quietly 
Though it’s kind
Of metal 
Rocking

But It brings back
Cool memories 
And I love
My music

But all those commercials
But even those
There so funny 
Always selling insurance
And always pushing
Warranties

Offering tidbits
About John...

You are the harmony of my symphony...your empathy is what I adore
You are someone I was looking...

With its green of grass and tree;

And the sound of the surf rolling free!
Give me a land with its feet in the...

The fire that burned so bright, 
As to be seen by sailors, 
On glimmering nights. 

In the darkness,
Her light can be seen, 
Throughout time, 
She shall always gleam.
 
From our hearts, 
From...

A magic world bewitched my eyes.
Each dewy drop adorning grass,
Resembled Alice's looking glass!
Then I grew to maybe three,
Decided fairies dwelt in trees.
Each greeny bough must surely hold,
An elfkin with his...

Music was boring
Nothing was happening
I was new to this group 
I did not know what to expect

I asked who they were.

Written In Leaves 


What have you written in leaves

Penned with your sob-throated beat

Where fire burns crimson-gold to white

 

We are all stolen and grieving

Blue smoke from the mountain

And withering apples left on trees

 

We sleep...

In tons of bubble bath,
Barricades her boudoir door,
Eau de cologne marks her path!

A froth of frills and lace.

The sable cloak of night is sown
With a beauty which is shown
By a myriad points of light.
Which show against the dark of night
