A Poem on Loss

A poem on loss. For all those who have lost someone you love and wondered if you will ever get to see them again.

“I Simply Can’t Be Convinced”

 I can’t be convinced I won’t see him again.

I simply can’t be convinced.

I feel him all around me

His very breath awakens my sixth sense.

I wonder when you’re so entwined

And someone you love passes through

If a part of them stays left behind

Running like veins inside of you

Not only is he all around me,

Stitching my wounds with his personal thread

He’s watching me as I sleep soundly,

Filling my dreams and emptying my head.

I know that I can’t see him

I understand that he’s no longer here

But by God did I believe him

When he said, “I’ll see you soon, my dear.”

The last words that we spoke in person

But our souls whisper every day

I just close my eyes

See his face

Hear his voice

And

Pray.

Beware of Shaming Others

Beware of shaming others. For both kids and adults alike, the difference between telling someone, “You did something bad” and “You are bad” is an entire world.

Why Must I Write?

How do you live in the moment yet plan for the future?

How do you let go of something you love?

Why not hold on tight, if you fear that you’ll lose her?

Why do you fear, if love is enough?

How will fate find you if you travel away?

Why do you dream of forever when all you have is today?

Why must I insist on understanding it all?

Does a painting ever ask why it hangs on the wall?

No more can it understand the totality of the hall

Then I can my Creator, or why I must write at all…

Constant Lovers (A Poem)

Image

Constant Lovers

yearning for each other

day after day

a fairytale they chose.

A difficult choice

as what the fairies don’t voice

is by definition…

the lovers are froze.

A Poem: “Suffering Is”

Suffering is

the dark cloud

that produces tears

like

rain

watering the flower

of compassion,

enabling it

to

grow.

Free Spirits (Part II)

Due to the high volume of positive responses on my poem “Free Spirits”, I have decided to continue it here. By the way, I am so glad that you all enjoy the writing- it makes me feel special 🙂

Here’s to the free spirits

Who’ve had enough

with the world’s expectations

and society’s bluff.

No, they’re not perfect

but they’re as real as it comes.

Here’s to the free spirits

Yea, here’s to us!

A Rekindled Fire

In a cafe

on Broadway,

I

saw an old flame.

He approached me.

Looked at me

and said,

“What ya know,

I just

saw you sitting

here

while I was

sitting there

alone”.

A Poem: “Your Love is Mean”

Your love is mean

Your love is mean

But you mean so much to me

How can it be?

Your lies, deceit

Your love is mean.

Can’t you see

just what I mean?

Why it’s your love I don’t need

Still you remain inside of me

Your love is mean.

A Poem I Wrote at Age 11

“Stars”

Why do we call them stars

when the stars are in the sky?

Are they worthy of this name?

Not nearly, and I know why.

While the Stars only shine

when the cameras are on,

the real Stars shine all night

until the crack of dawn.

So why do we call them Stars?

Are they worthy of this name?

No, and if they are

then we are too,

for all humans are the same.

I’m writing this poem

for all the world to see,

that calling the “stars” celebrities

will be just fine with me.
