I’m sharing my favorite poems that I’ve written on this blog. They are directly copied and pasted. Note that some of these poems come from my other blog (Lotus Poems.)
10) Illusions
I live in a state of confusion
well too aware of all the illusions
I don’t believe anything that I see
Am I reflecting you or are you reflecting me?
9) I’m not that crazy anymore
Chasing after you was like knocking on a brick wall
And expecting it to fall
Chasing after you was like going to a gun fight
Showing up with just a knifeWas I unsure of reality or too sure of myself?
Was I delusional or cocky, as you stood there with someone else?
Every day I told myself that you and I were making progress
Every way I read you wrong was truly making things a big messAs you mouthed the words “I don’t like you”
as your eyes screamed “I want to fight you”
In my mind, you really loved me
Couldn’t bare my glare, couldn’t get enough meTime is a teacher, time is a sage
Time is the gift that ended the plague
Time has me looking back on before
Thinking, “thank God I’m not that crazy anymore.”
8) Easy, simple, plain
Gazing upon the shore
sipping her tea
she dreams of what an easy life
could be.
Wants to be free,
fear is a heavy chain.
Nothing is ever
easy, simple, or plain.
7) Not afraid of the dark
I’m not afraid of the dark
I’m not afraid of the night
I’m more afraid of the day
Far more afraid of the light.
I’m scared of being wrong
Like I knew nothing all along
But even worse than that
I’m scared of being right.
6) The Camera
The camera is my best friend
and my worst enemy
It builds me up and tares me down
all at once.The camera never lies
looking me dead in the eyes
without blinking or shying away
flash and exposurenowhere to hide
waiting to capture my every move
I look back and try to match its bravery
try to intimidate what is intimidating meit has no soul
yet here I am, showing mine
it has no feelings
yet here I am, posing mine.I breathe into it
and open up completely.
The camera comes alive
when I feed it life.
5) Do you believe in ecstasy?
Tell me, do you believe in ecstasy?
For most people, it’s just a fantasy.
Will it ever find you, ever capture
your soul and hold you until you feel rapture?
Sliding down slopes of exhilaration
til every cell in your body is in exaltation
Going beyond happiness, beyond state of bliss
Paradise of pleasure and euphoric elation.
4) Fangs
Flashing his pearly whites
Beaming through the night
Sharp as a blade
It’s time to ice skateGliding through the dark
Now is when you make your mark
Fangs sink into the flesh
Of the vampire victim’s neck!Sinking deeper
And breaking the barrier
Of the skin
Let it inAs she shrieks with pain
He’s hitting a vein
A sharp sting, a lasting burn
Quickly takes an unexpected turnMorphing into pleasure
Amplify the pressure
Covering her face
Caught in his embraceHer eyes turn scarlet red
Matching the color of all she bled
And now she will sing his song
As he disappears into the dawn
3) Graveyard Walk
Take a graveyard walk down memory lane
See all I had to lose, in order to ever gain
See the broken bones and the lifeless hearts
See the sacrifices made, in search of a new startThis tombstone here is so special to me
Lay down roses and imagine what could be
Lay down letters that will never be returned
Lay down sage, light a match and let it burnThe ghosts wander waiting and listening for prayers
Tell them all my secrets I am willing to share
Tell them scary stories about my own waking life
Tell them there is better reason to fear the day, than to fear the night.
2) Into the forest
Down the road, you walked away
There was nothing I could do to make you stay
Into the forest, blending into the trees
Long gone… vanished… or so it seemsI found you in music, found you in books
Found you in stories with clever hooksInto the forest, I felt a cold breeze
Long gone… vanished… or so it seems
1) Noble
Noble is the knight in shining armor
Wearing his pride like a badge of honor
Horseback riding with his chest held high
Conquering the world because he’s blessed by the skyAdmirable is his character, so virtuously kept
Striving towards his destiny free of moral debt
Compassion is his compass; it always leads the way
Working tirelessly to make the right choices every single dayHis fruits of labor and prized possessions
Are of great importance and fiercely protected
Always in control, he tames the wild horse
And never lets distractions throw him off courseThe sacrifices made, his long list of good deeds
Will not go on wasted, will not be unseen
The heavens were watching when he thought he was alone
And someday he will righteously sit on the golden throne!
