Poetry

In addition to fiction, I also write poetry. They are found at various places on the internet and a majority of them are published. All are copyrighted to me.

All of them can be found at my deviantArt page also.

I've published a book of my poetry, Words Never Spoken. Find it here.

Poems are rated PG-13, R (For violence and darker themes in some, mostly abuse.)

78. Open Doors

It's lingering sadness, that lurks at your every move.
When you watch for his next mistake through the doorway,
That leaves you wide open in an empty room.

Raindrops fall on your head, through the roof of the shelter,
That in a moment of strength you carefully pieced back together
That which he had single-handedly shattered.

Each drop mixes the memories so thoroughly, so deep,
That it's hard to remember that you left the pain in the past,
And you're reliving a lifetime of memories that refuse to sleep.

But he doesn't know how the past won't stay where it belongs,
Casting doubt in your otherwise happy eyes,
That once condemned him for his every single wrong.

And when he looks at you with the love in his eyes
That you wanted for so long it almost killed you,
You can't even begin to tell him how hard you tried.

77. Untitled

Torn to pieces and I can't breathe,
Choking on the hope there was for you and me,
It's never clear even when the haze finally dies,
I can't make you feel what you never felt inside...

76. Love Like the Ocean

The water chilled your skin the first time,
You felt the waves play on your feet.
When you walked alongside a black ocean,
On sand so different than your gravel streets.

As you stared at the moon's reflection,
Like glances of silver turning gold,
For a moment you didn't even miss,
The sunrise over the fields back home.

It wasn't hard to fall in love with,
Rolling waves the sun kissed,
That swept you up,
Far too fast for you to notice.

But when the storm hit hard,
You couldn't keep your balance,
Between the wind and waves,
And the thunder's deafening silence.

It was electricity in the air that thrilled you,
And shook you to the core.
But you were far too reckless,
This world was never yours.

Your body thrown against the rocks,
That shattered your control,
As amazing as it is,
You know you've got to let it go.

73. Where Even Angels Fall*

Above hardened hearts and streetlights,
Beyond these concrete walls,
Don't think the sky has saved you.
This is where even angels fall.

70. Insanity

The sheer curtains hung over the windows,
Do nothing to block the sunlight, block the pain.
Waking was always the hardest part.
You couldn't stop yourself from moaning his name.

It makes perfect sense, really,
After all that's said and done.
It was never his burden to bear.
You shouldn't be suprised that he's gone.

Even after all he did and didn't do,
It's not his fault you're falling apart.
You're just mad he didn't take the blame,
And took the opportunity, took a stab at his heart.

Now you drown yourself in fantasy,
In a world of your creation.
You put down on paper,
Exactly what you wanted from him.

You're too afraid to stop and think,
But I bet that you'd regret it,
Because you should know by now,
That fantasy ended.

And when you live out your dreams,
Through notebooks and fear,
You curse your wandering mind,
Wondering why the hell he's not here.
