WHEE!

Another poem, written quite a while ago, just recently unearthed out of a drawer by yours truly. Warning: It is sad. Comments, of course, are encouraged.

Pain

You cannot see it.
I cannot help but feel like I am
Caught in a torrent of misery.
Drowning in hopelessness.
Loving you when you love another.
Suffocating.
Choking on my love,
Trying to keep it from consuming me.
But no matter how much I try,
I cannot forget.
Pain.
You will never know it.
The desperate despair that
Is a constant shadow
Will not let my heart
Forget you.
I cannot stop my heart from beating
When it knows you are near.
My love for you, pent up inside,
Begs for fresh air that will not come.
I cannot strangle my love
Cannot kill it, so that I might have relief
From the pain
That you cannot see.

What is it with me and poetry...?

I cannot seem to stop writing it, even though 'tis not my forté! This poem is about a year old, 'tis depressing, yes, because I was in a depressing mood when I wrote it. But ah well. I was going through a hard time. Another shall follow after this, I believe, because I found them both in a drawer I was rooting through.
Need help with a title, peeps! Comments and critques welcome!

Untitled

And so, I walk on.
The same path I trod before
The way of self-inflicted agony
The road I thought I had left behind.

I walk on.
As the grief weighs down
And my heart wonders how it is
To be loved in return.

I walk on.
Wondering why I jumped into that hole
Chiding myself for not being on my guard
Wishing I could leave my broken path behind.

I walk on.
Slowly dying inside
Unable to hold a smile
My mask has become my pride.

I walk on.
What is wrong with me?
Why can I not forget?
Did I betray my heart in the end?

I walk on.
Ever so slowly now.
Wishing I could forget
That I ever loved at all.

Even so, I walk on.

Another Poem!

Yes, I know.
I have neglected my writing blog. I am ashamed.

I have not written in a while, except when I am brutally forced to do so by my professors. ;)

Yes, yes, I know. Shame on me.

Anyways, here is a poem I wrote for class. :)


Parting

Green eyes
Infused with cobalt haze.
Unruly laugh
Resounds freely.
Calm essence
Emanates concern.
Wide smile
Hints at dawn of evening stars.
Final embrace
Of enduring arms.

Poem!

You know, for someone that views poetry writing as excruciatingly challenging, I tend to write it quite often. :o

Melody

Encompassed in stunning silence,
The world, surrounding, wanes.
Struggling to grasp that thin alliance
To ensnare the echo that eludes

Those unable to perceive the noise.
Vision may resonate vibrantly now,
Though dully to those with no choice
But to relinquish the sound

In exchange for tranquility.
It is seemingly blissful and serene,
But for those with the unwanted formality
Of living perpetually in noiseless harmony,

It is to be encompassed in stunning silence.
