POEMS

Loneliness (2019)

Loneliness is asleep right next to me,
Silently and with a secret to keep,
Convincing me of where I’m meant to be,
Holding me back, when I need to break free

From vices that open my heart to pain,
And memories that leave me crying in rain,
Like an infant in a world so mundane,
Reoccurring, as if it’s meant again

Away from any prying eyes to see,
The influence it is having on me,
Whispering to me, “what’s best is inside,”
Even though my heart wishes the outside

So, don’t let me be in my solitude,
For I need your supporting fortitude,
To free me from any negative thoughts,
That invade my heart, when I feel self doubt.

Twelve Years Removed (2018)

I drift away in the ocean of Life,
Without any destination in sight,
I look to my left, I look to my right,
Only to find you have fallen behind

Lost in an ocean that can seem so vast,
Drifting away, like we are worlds apart,
Without a shore or port to anchor at,
Twelve years removed, feeling as if you can’t

Even though you may never find a where,
We’ll stay together through this ocean air,
I just hope you don’t fail to be aware,
That wherever you land, I will be there

So, limit me, as you desire to do,
Surrounded by voices that do as you,
But, just remember the person I am,
The one who loves, the one who you cannot.
