poems

New to this site, but i kind of gravitated to this forum. Tell me what you think.


Dinner table graces
Glassware and beverages
Cascade to the floor
Bend to reach and chairs collapsing
Over the edge
Darkness encompassing
A truth of sorts - is only lies
Blinking secondsminutes
Measuring this routine existence
Telephone cards, hours spent wasting
Loving only her, but for why
A broken-hearted nightmare
Killer insomnia
A keyboard to prop you up
With guitar pick in hand
Music to drown the voices
Sleep will befriend all
A warm pillow, so comforting
It kills you, see

another

Took a drive, last night
Get my mind off on
Dark green honda pain killers
Swallowed down, gulping saliva
Wheel turned without thought
Left here past shiny plastic
Shutters and sandbox creatures
Remnants of a time when
Eyes were blind
And everything lasted forever

Round every bend is your face
Memories rich and livid
Golden blond and vanilla cream
Arms entwined like puzzle pieces
Why blink when eyes don’t see
What’s really there

A tear slips past,
Paints a line down my face
Slow at first, as if sadness is timid
Quickly though, he finds courage
For countless minutes, control is flown
While I taste salty wetness
Wipe away stinging reminders
Of what might have been

I like both of these...but I REALLY like the second one.
Perhaps due to understanding.
Great job. I hope you post more.

Thanks for the positive response=) Here's another, by request.

They speak in riddles
Twisted fragments
Beautiful and paper thin
Guilty as it feels to need
I love the way the light reflects
Her face, hands, eyes
But then I wake, shivering
Alone in that darkness
I’m in too deep

I lost sight of her
Like foggy autumn mornings
Reach out to touch
But know that truth
Is only hanging heads
And sleepy afternoons
Sinking ships
Hitting bottom

Thanks for the comments everyone. I really appreciate the praise=) Here's another..

The cityscape dreams silently
Wishes silently
For it all to wash away
Melting into puddles
Along the crowded street
The concrete sighs

Car exhaust and newspaper stands
Graffitied brick walls
Shuttersclotheslinesfactories
Harboring the silent dreamers
Beauty in those tiny buildings
Is it blindness or simplicity


Rain storms in sweltering heat
Lightning cracks the sky
Streetlights blaze and sirens scream
Rainfall floods the gutters
Open your eyes and feel

Street signs like a parent’s wisdom
Turn off at this exit
It’s time you went home
Behind those brick walls
The puddles and
Working class
There is a truth

Here's another..

Wandering, aimlessly
Along pavement and medians
Whiteconcrete andyellowlines
Go here, not there
Boundaries enclose me
Like chain link fences


It’s 40 degrees in June
I’m failing to see the brighter side
Things don’t always fall into place
Sometimes we all need room to grow
I feel so little in here
Like I’m not meant for this
I don’t understand why it’s important
Not much is anymore
She was, I guess
Just a beautiful face in the crowd
A little something more than others


I miss her, sometimes
When I feel alone (I’m always alone)
With her I was never alone
Blond hair and a smile
To bring me hope
I guess everything has its time
Reconciliation- for fools maybe
Am I a fool?
For falling in love
It’s so misleading
She was misleading
What I’d give to have her back…


Green fields whispering in a cool breeze
A red orange sunset in July
Lying next to her
Sharing warmth and something deeper
Love--But not on rainy days
Watching the dim orange moon rise
I’d stay all night, if she wanted

Outside the rain, like lead
Water droplet bullets
Crashing into darkened skylights
Blankets pulled tighter round his face
TVs mocking tone - “Downpours today,”
Weathermen predicting the steep decent
Twisting and turning
Thick cotton, the last hope against his mind
Defenses finally fall into place
Sleep wipes away the pained expression
