Mourning Periods are Unneccessary.

You told me at the last second
You let me know, that's how it is
You wanted me to stay with you
You wanted me to love it, too
You didn't want me quite upset
But wanted you to be more fit
You tried to keep controlling me
But how it is, and it will be
I'm not going to mourn this loss
You're gone and I am moving on
You can't judge what you've never known
So let me live, and let it go.

Kickball.

Why do I always pick myself
To decide what's for the best?
I'm the shortest player on the team
The weakest link, with no esteem
I can not kick the ball past first
I can't run quick, I can't get worse
It's as though we're playing kickball
And we have to split the class
And looking now I know
If I were the captain,
I'd pick me last.

Good, Old fashioned, Safetynet.

Once, I would have told you
To stay here by my side
And distance would be nothing but
Imagination's measured lines
But then I saw the world one day
I think that you did too
But where you saw the reds of love
I saw the blacks of truth
You introduced those colored
And I opened up my heart
But when you asked to pick and choose
I was cradled by the dark.

The five sided box.

It's a maze of brush and shrubbery
The perfect mesh catastrophe
A run of flames and fire within
The pillow that is laced with sin
We try to let ourselves run free
But here we stand, and here we'll be
We try to find an opening
But all has boxed us in, and
The only way out,
Is up.

Untitled.

I don't know why
But I'm impressed
You snap your fingers
I fall right in
The trap you've set
Is rather nice
A prison that
I've come to like
I may be a fool
For loving you
But whose the fool
That led me to?

Bad Dreams.

I remember being wild
Dancing with the moon
The revelries of moonlit days
And sleepless nights without refrain
I remember way back when
I just was meant to feel
But when I fell in love with you
I knew that that would never do
I have the dreams that haunt my nights
And toss and turn in mental fights
The struggle that I feel with you
Though fought well, and fought so true
That almost hateful point of view
That keeps my mind in check
I'm holding to a peeling edge
Though holding on, too, to this lens
Distorted visions fill my head
And almost fill my mind with dread
And I'm not used to this
Protectiveness.

Nightmares.

I've found myself clinging to
Those little pieces of you
I have to hold
Though it seems that
When I find myself most comfortable
Come the nightmares.

Incomplete.

Remember, how we were as one
A sweet memory of the sun
To swing with me beneath the trees
In cherry orchards, on our knees
Prancing with the antelope
And held together by a rope
A stronger bond contained us then
Then anything we've felt since when
We held ourselves together close
And now we look back to that ghost
The memory, here like a thread
A sweet desire, mixed with sin
A moment that we yearn for yet
A thirst that we have now to quench.

Invincible.

You told me I was strong once
And I believed you
For at the time
I found myself invincible.

Rose Petals.

I wish I could weave a story
Of rose petals across your eyes
And not fill them with miseries
And not fill them with lies
I wish that for all of your days
You'd see only the truth
But in that truth that you would see
You'd see pretty pictures, too.

Fazoli's.

Stumbling over crumbs
And tripping on rolled mats
Slipping in the bucket
While clutching a garbage can
Spilled drinks to my left
And dirty tables to my right
So when it finally ends
I'll be happy to call it a night.

Korean Blogs.

You thirst for knowledge
And I don't offer assistance
But rather, follow
And laugh on the sidelines
As you fall.

The Fourth.

The fireworks
As passions
Illuminate the soul
And we were in the darkness
Though now we find ourselves
Exposed.

Melanie.

When you leave, we will reminisce
I will tell you I love you
And it will not be a lie
I will tell you you're special
You're an amazing friend, sister
But I promise you,
That at your departure
I'll be smiling.

Napping.

My sweetest dreams come
While in the midst of the shortest naps
Resting restless thoughts on you.
In your arms, I am enthralled
For there I find the sweetest lullabies
And the simplest dreams come true.

The Three

You're a disappointment
In many different ways
Any I'm the fool who'd believed in you
No matter what you'd say.


He's so weak. And me?
I'm left in the dust. Because,
No matter what he says he wants,
It's she who comes out on top.


He's too gentle to hurt her
And too cruel to let her go
He plays with sweet dementia
And I'm left in a throe.

Puzzle Pieces.

Perfectly aligned
As the puzzles in my room
Nothing to confine
But the clothing which we lose
Awkward moments come,
Yet they pass us as they do
Then we come as one,
Though clearly once we were as two.

MOOOOOSE.

I couldn't find the perfect words
To go right to a tune
So instead of writing silly songs
I wrote a poem for you
You're my inspiration, deary
You're my Moosemoose too
You're the reason stars shine bright
If only you always knew.
Brighten up,
Don't fear or fret
No sad moment shall get you.
Brighten up,
Don't be lost, pet
We'll always be here to catch you.
I love my mooseymoose.

Smokestorm.

A cloud descends over the horizon
Some call it doubt,
I call it the ghosts which haunt us
And hope it can only stay for a short while.
Within the fog and smokey mist
We call to each other,
Lost and wanting for a simple touch
That bond that could keep us strong.
We inhale, tears rising to our eyes
Unsure of what comes next
We link hands, and run through it, together
You're my breath of fresh air.

Elixer.

You're beautiful
In every way
And so very unique
A perfect mix
Of mind and soul
A perfect love
For me.
