The Lost

From the shadows,
comes the love.
The love of loss,
the love of fear.
Trembles, whispers, quiet torture.
Keys of secrets,
and disorder.
Founded in the place of lies,
a tale and lesson of lost cries.

My newest poem. It has an under-lying meaning.

The Future

In my future, I am in love with you and you are in love with me. In my future things are perfect. Life... is peaceful in my future, filled with bright and vivid colours. Your love seems like enough to hold me there. And then I wake. I wake from my silent and precious dream. Quickly, I realize there was an end to this wild dream before it even started. Our time has passed, our love has been shattered and shared. The end, was the end and it came before my future had a chance to live.

Love After Love

"The time will come when, with elation, you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror, and each will smile at the other's welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life." -Derek Walcott

Someday, I will write something as emotionally convincing as this poem. I want to inspire people with my writing. I want people to fall in love with my words. To laugh at them, to smile with them, to cry with them. I want people to feel emotion radiating from my writing. I want people to feel the things that I feel when I write. And also, to feel the things I feel when I read from my favorite authors. Writing is my only outlet to express myself.

No Changes

Nothing is ever going to change. And there goes our love, melting away. I'm ready to melt away with it. I am losing hope.

"Hey, maybe dye my hair, maybe I'll move somewhere. Maybe I'll get a car, maybe I'll drive so far, they'll all lose track. Me, I'll bounce right back. Maybe I'll sleep real late, maybe I'll lose some weight. Maybe I'll clear my junk, maybe I'll just get drunk on apple wine. Me, I'll be just fine and dandy. Lord, it's like a hard candy Christmas. I'm barely getting through tomorrow, but still I won't let sorrow bring me way down."

Have I Told You Lately that I Love You...?

I hope you know that I love you. Well, I'd feel lost if you were not here. I hope you know how much you mean to me. I see how happy you are, and honestly that makes me happy. I would give anything to see you completely happy. You are my world, you always have been. I never want to lose you, but sometimes there are no solutions to problems. I have hope for us. I need you, and that need grows more over-whelming everyday. Everyday I feel pain for the fear that I have of losing us. And everyday it get's worse, almost like an anxiety. I need you to know I love you... I love you so so so much. I hope this shows you something, I feel like writing is the only way I can express my feelings fully to you. I need you and love you. I want to prove that to you, and I wish I could.

The Beginning of the End

I'm writing a book, and I'm really excited about it. So far, I think it is entertaining. I feel like I need to take a few more writing classes though. I do not know why I am such a depressed individual, but it really shows in my writing. I am constantly thinking of things I should not think about and my mind is a dark, dark place. I am a very upbeat and happy person on the outside, but on the inside I feel torn up and frustrated. It's getting worse everyday.

You & I Collide

I need you, now more than ever. My life feels off track and unbalanced without your presence. You're in my every thought. At first it wasn't difficult, it was a sort of numbing feeling. But now I feel it. I need you. Please.
