“Poetry is all that is worth remembering in life.”
— William Hazlitt
Sunflower Of Fire
The sunflower
So bright, so brilliant
Every flaw so apparent
Along with its perfection
…
If Only I'd Known
The thoughts—
They hide within my head
Teasing me relentlessly—
And into madness I am lead
…
The Lonely Orchid
I felt like I was lost
My emotions were absent
Wishing I belonged
Or to someone that loved me
…
You Brought Out The Best In Me
I’ll never forget that first kiss
I was lost, but I didn’t know it
I was terrified, but I couldn’t show it
But that kiss
…
Across the Lake In Fall
As each leaf turned colors
Tightly grasping its mate
Long now, it wasn’t
It would soon meet its fate
…
Feeling Blue
Softly, I ask, for why do I feel sorrow,
Is it from years that have passed,
Or could it be the time that I borrow?
…
This I Know
It was void, void of anything except my mind
My mind and my own memories
For my body didn’t exist
Or had it ever
…
Without You
The ocean underneath foot
The clouds in my eyes
I reach for something missing
Wishing you by my side
…
