standing lightly on a spire
gazing deeply into night
gentle breeze caress my body
lovely moon give me light
magic glow give me power
resting tender on each height
and with each breath of air
that I take tonight
I find myself
flying higher
So I'm in the writing mood today. I might just post a couple more times before the end of the day. I'm not sure. You know I'm a bit fickle. One moment in the need to speak and the next closed off from anyone to see. Anyways, I feel the need to share today.
I feel the need to speak
from my heart to yours
this time please just
listen to me
this time I've not gone crazy
this time I'm not a wall
this time I'm not a prisoner in
my own damn heart
so if you would, please
do more than listen to me
from your heart to mine
I'm in need of
another mind
can you help me?
could you please?
turn this stream into a sea
and we'll be
in this moment
a constant flow
a single
heart
So I found this poem in the book where I right down my poetry. Kinda an obvious place to find my poems I guess, but I had forget all about this one. I like it. I think it might have taken me some time to write down the feeling. Anyways, here it is.
Boundaries
push test recede
find define erase
mine. yours. ours?
do we coincide?
boundaries
here there now
what defines who
you'll be?
fame sex cash
money lust or greed
smile pray give
faith hope and--charity?
am I you
am I me
are we we?
push test recede
my boundaries define me
one day here
tomorrow there
forever only me
I'll be more than your
thoughts of me
A poem written with the worries of tomorrow in mind.
Sleep means tomorrow will come
Do I want it? Do I want it all?
Tomorrow has too many possibilities.
Too many things to say
Too many things to pray
For one more day in good standing
One more day without blunder
Today was today-in all its glory
I know what today held.
I do not know tomorrow.
Here is an unfinished poem. It just feels like it needs more to me, but I wanted to share it with you all anyways.
silence
a school dead with utter silence
the school searches
"who is it were missing"
"guys, just keep walking"
one crowd one heart
one man not among us
head search and hearts seek
life stops
words form in a disquieted mind. something about broken hearts. moments lost. failed starts. the words are childish. the tone immature. the writing poor. the words are written down- frowned upon. the writer recognizes insufficiency. he'll never capture reality. still somewhere in the writing process he discovered poetry.
This one is inspired by the words of a Japanesse song. It happens to be the opening tune to one of my favorite animes, Naruto. Well, here it is.
tell me, what were you gazing at
above the sky?
tel me, what did you find?
was there something in the bluest day
or in the black of deep night?
is there something to be seen above
that cannot be found within
tell me, what were you gazing at
this night? did you find your heart?
did you discover love?
tell me this glorious day
if I seek
will I find you?
