You come to me...

Another love poem? Geez, I don't remember ever becoming so sentimental


You come to me,
A graceful torrent
Unbound. Free from
Any restraints.
I feel your pulse
Your body
Dancing to the rhythm
Of whatever song
You sing. And I,
Standing silent
And alone,
Cannot remain
Unmoved by this
Dazzling display.
Something so new,
Yet so incredibly
A part of me
I do not know what to do
But to let it take me away.

She came to me,
A caressing gale
Unmoved. Breaking
Through the crowd
Into my sight.
The unexpected
Took me under its wing
And into the heavens
I soared. Not simply
Taken off guard
Or swept from my branches
Too tired to hang on,
But filled
And carried
Like the sails
Cross the seas.
Not changed,
But fulfilled.
She seems to be everything
I could ever hope for

You come to me
Now with arms open
And eyes shining
And I know
That I will have comfort.
You smile
And I know
That you will always be there.
You are
More than I could ask for,
More than I deserve.
But while I have you
I hope
That maybe,
I can make you
As happy
As you make me.

Through another door...

This is a good depiction of my struggle with myself...


Through another door
Back into the cold
I just recently left.
A step or two
In the right direction
Before my feet
Land on air
And I fall
Knees sinking in the mud.

I cry out for help
With my hand
Over my mouth.
Can you hear me
As my voice goes hoarse?
I’ve screamed
For hours on end
But the people
Walking by don’t even blink.

I didn’t mean to
Put myself here,
Trapped in the earth.
Or maybe
I saw the hole waiting.
Maybe I fell intentionally
Or maybe
I wanted to see
If you would stretch into the earth for me.

Maybe Persephone was missed as much...

Perhaps another thing you should know about me is I love love love mythology. Really, its religion in general. I find it all fascinating, and I think its a good idea to be familiar with other religions. It helps in your understanding of other people, and in the security of your own faith. But yeah, that is a discussion for another time. Mythology! I love it. I like to use it sometimes in my poetry, as of right here...enjoy!


Maybe Persephone was missed as much.
When the world was made barren,
When the lands began to grieve
For the loss of this sole girl,
Then, just maybe, one was missed
Just as much.
Now I know how it must have felt
To have her stolen away,
Except it seems I am the one
Trapped in the underworld,
Unduly tormented in the fourth circle…
All I ever wanted was to hold you
In my arms for a few seconds more.
I know how it must have felt.
But if I am the one trapped
Will you search for me?
Will you scour the earth
Hoping to find me,
Hidden in an obscure alcove.
And when you can’t,
Will winter’s snows abound
Or will spring bloom?
I would veil the world in winter for you,
But would you miss me?

One month...

I hope this one isn't awkward. Its obviously written for a one month anniversary...but I think its still a decent poem. It has some mythology in it! Haha...enjoy!


One month,
And yet it seemed to pass
As just a few days.
Just one month,
And yet it seems
I have known you for a lifetime.
One month,
Can you tell me
How a day can hold years
And yet pass in an instant.

But these days,
Just a few days apart
Seem to last for ages.
Maybe now,
Icarus has wings of gold,
And holds the sun in place.
These days,
The setting of the sun seems
To take years to come
And the rising even more.

So I wait,
For the day to come
When you will return to me.
I simply wait,
As my heart yearns for you
To run into my arms.
I wait,
To see you again,
To hold you again,
To kiss you again.
