Maturity Poems

Growing up to fast and coming of age

Growing up to fast,
Coming of age. 

Both about maturity but different

One witnessed something they were not supposed to see, while the other saw when ready

One forced to be a man, the other gradually becoming a man 

One having a parent who would mentally abuse, while the other has two amazing parents

One having to work hard

Premium MemberThe gap between love and true love

When love is good,
it's really great.

Unfortunately for most
when the sparkle fades,
they don't know how to fix it.

Seems easier for many
to clear the slate and 
go for instant gratification
of finding someone new.

They're addicted to 
easy pickings and
the high of novelty.

The other side of that coin
is they are cursed to never
experience the depth
of true and lasting love.

Premium MemberAs Time Passes

As time passes there is also a change in view
You don't do the same things that you used to do
You learn from your mistakes as you mature
You seem to learn patience as you endure
Things don't hurt you the way that they used to 
You're leaning on a higher source just to get through
Remember to allow

Premium MemberJigsaw Soul

Each passing day puts on display 
a puzzle piece of jigsaw soul.
Providing parts to add to hearts, 
from halfway done to fully whole. 

The bygone years are souvenirs, 
the trinkets of a time gone by; 
though caked with rust, dried blood, and dust, 
they stain, then fade, but never die. 

The decades roll and ring

Premium MemberMaturity doesn't come with age, but in silence, through each page turned with care

Maturity doesn't come with age, but in silence, through each page turned with care,
through inner storms that no one sees, where self-knowledge frees the spirit.
Not in crowds or in the spotlight, but in gentle moments, in whispered prayers,
we don't yearn for the life that shines, but for the one that speaks in subtle and discreet

Maturity Don't Matter Of Age

Enjoy your life without being afraid 
Of other people's judgement
Because who think you are bad
Not sure he’s better 
I don't care if you're older or younger
For me, as long as you know how to appreciate will
I respect people, age is a number, maturity is an attitude
Everyone can be old, but not necessarily out of character.

Not Ripe To Maturity

I finally get it
What they say is right
Never walk with a woman
On the road to maturity
That person will be in tears
And closet yourself to mature
And superior to your past
Then fall in love with another girl
And bad for the other.

MATURITY

A book tells a story
And an author tells the experience 
The senses of the world
A tear tells a feeling 
And a sorrow tells the pain
The emotions of a human being 
It's coming,

When the sea meets the sand
It formulates A sequence 
A master creation
When the storm meets an individual 
It creates an atmosphere 
A freedom 
The

Premium MemberAutumn Side Of September

In the middle ages
these roughed and scuffed decades
between newborn crocus -snow-melt-nursed- and
dried hydrangea blooms sepia-skinned and papery thin
I earned the right to wear sapphires
and burn mademoiselle mistakes with wisdom-fires

I collected years for years to earn my autumn season
—the autumn side of September
hair once a cascade of Sol’s solar flare
now but faded silver streams spilled by

Premium MemberWhen Will I Grow Up

When will I finally fill your shoes, 
Reach maturity like you did?
You seemed to have all the answers
When I was just a kid. 
I've been waiting a long time now
So maybe I missed my turn, 
I'm well past the age you were, 
By now I should have learned!
How did you do the adulting, so effortless,
Not

Premium MemberI am a man, not a boy, carrying the weight of maturity like a chosen garment

I am a man, not a boy, carrying the weight of maturity like a chosen garment,
I am a man with dreams and lofty ambitions, weaving my path among the stars with threads of desire,
I am a man with a gentle heart, in a strong body, but with a soul as vast as the ocean,
I am

Twenty-three

As you prepare for twenty-three,
We see the man you've come to be,
With so much grace and so much light,
You always soar to a greater height.
Throughout the times, big and small,
The joys, the wins and every fall.
They made you twinkle like a star
And spread your light so very far
I wish to see how high you fly,
And

Primary Colours

Something has been written, I am sure
Of the power of joy
Of the scent of sorrow 
Of the sound of shame.

Something has been written, I am sure
Of the feel of forgetting
Of the shades of loss
Of the taste of pain.

Something has been written, I am sure
Of all such things, but more
Of the colours love and doubt
What else
