I'm not much of a poet, but here are some recent ones of mine. The first three are ones I wrote while on a plane returning from Ireland this past summer... My ex and I had a sort of argument before I left, so of course I had that on my mind coming back. The fourth is one I wrote for AP Literature, and the last three... Well I think they speak for themselves.:
"You"
I kill time, you kill dreams
Spades of kings and rainbow rings
Serenaded flings this lady sings
I wonder why you'd do these things
I'm disappointed in you
"Dark Heart"
Go on, hold your grudge
I showed you nothing but love
"Don't Look Back Now"
Fading slowly life's a dream
Crush the fallen fruit beneath your feet
There's nothing left for you to dwell on
There are better days for you
---
"To Living"
How wondrous is the opening of eyes to the eternal sunshine that is our lives
The sweet sweet smell that rings the bells of memories long since past
It is so easy to not recall what small steps have been taken to get to this all
The sadness escapes you as the wind blows beneath you, as if it lifts you high
High into the breeze with the trees beneath your knees and the clouds within your reach
What cause is this? What sad crisp thoughts were dismissed to bring this bliss?
These laughing eyes bring you to cry with the realization this was all here already
Nowhere did it state you must not take life for granted but instead instate awareness
Yet you still wonder why no one blundered and told you this secret to happiness
Life is the unexpected, it’s undetected until the right directive leads to its finding
The order is that there is no order, no patterns or borders to outline the life we lead
You ask for instruction but it leads to destruction of the path you should lead, your own
What inane purpose did they tell you to claim? Is it fame that leads you to this frame of mind?
So much beauty in so much space it’s not a race to receive the grace of dramatic fakes
If you are to become human, have a heart that’s quick to start loving no matter the part it plays
Creation is the key to elation, the vibrations that pulsate through the veins of the earth
Cannot be compared with those who crave only to get slaves for mundane service
You must make your own resource, not force the course of history to another plane
So much disclosure in a small enclosure the mind is a wondrous thing
And all that is mated to be reinstated in this world so frustrated must come from within
For only your soul can realize its role that each living thing plays on this small sad stage
So open your eyes.

"Wallflower"
Stand and wait---
Am I listed in your diary
Somewhere in that super-secret world
Can I know what my place is
Watch and learn---
This wall and I are inseperable
And like a flower I stand still
Only to be moved by the winds of your breath
Ask and tell---
There's no form or rhyme to this
No courage to put myself out there
You take the wind from beneath my wings
"Whatever"
No that's quite all right
It's fine, no, she's cool
I mean, if you like those types---
Oh, nothing, I meant nothing
It's nothing
Whatever
I was a fool for---
Oh, nothing, it's nothing at all
No, that's all right
Dreams can't last forever
It's nothing
Whatever
I'm just saying, she's awfully---
I mean immature, mentally
I thought you were different
But hey, we all make mistakes, right?
It's nothing
Whatever
Just ignore me, I'm babbling
What? Jealous? Me? Don't make me laugh
What does she have that I don't?
Oh, that's right, she's got yo---
It's nothing
Whatever
"Mismatched"
I hate
the fact
you're with her
and not me
It makes it harder that we get along
I have to turn away
I can't watch her fawn over you
You two just look so wrong
Misplaced
A mismatch made in hell
You don't look happy with her
But she's beside herself with joy
I wish she was beside herself
Maybe then I'd be beside you
