Sad Little Love Poems: The Fourth Poetry Dump
Here’s my fourth poetry dump. Less rap in this one... I guess more love poems, along with some other poems. They’re little sad things that aren’t really worth providing individual releases. I’ve decided to name them this time.
I don’t remember if I’ve posted some of these before. I think I may have, but my memory is hazy. Many of these are incomplete poems. Many of these are over a year old. Poems 2-4 are the most recent works I’ve written.
Ditsy*
Ditsy when she talkin’
But man, the way she walkin’
*I wanted to make this into a song, but I couldn’t get past these two lines. I think I made it to the rhythm of Miss Mandy.
Eros Strums the Single String on his Guitar
I’ve convinced myself that the brilliant river
Pours such cold water I’ll shiver
Whether or not I jump in and catch the undercurrent.
After all I have weathered, I look abhorrent;
Wave me away; say, “Don’t come near.”
Apparently, I wasn’t meant to be here.
Should I be true to stilled moments’ thoughts
That startle my beating heart?
I should convince myself brilliant rivers
Pour such cold water, I would shiver.
I should wither to the berating parade,
The beating drums, and lockstep marchers.
Oh, would the tone-deaf lover serenade?
Would Cupid fire arrows if he were an untrained archer?
Oh, the tone-deaf lover provides no serenade.
Off-beat drums, bowlegged marchers
Falter ‘fore the king and queen of spades.
A False Answer Lies on the Other Side of the Equation
One more breath that I’m expending
Before my chest begins expanding.
An arhythmic contraction
Of my heart confessed attraction.
A reaction of a chemical
In my brain makes it seem simple,
But, even with that context,
My heart makes it feel complex.
I stop holding my breath,
Let loose and walk the length
A moment’s filled with bliss
As another beat is missed.
There’s a scent that clouds the air.
I close my eyes, am more aware.
So much depends upon*
The fair air that fills my lungs.
Is this love or infatuation,
This warmest of sensations?
It’s no secret how I’ve tried;
In you, a kiss that I confide.
*So much depends upon repurposing the words of those who would have wished for the writer to have some imagination and sense of originality.
A Sense of Reassurance...
You don’t have to complicate things;
Speak succinctly, ever charming.
We don’t have to play like we’re fools
As long as you love me and you.
You don’t have to find other worlds
Or dream about other girls.
You don’t have to speak perfect rhymes
I’ll love you every single time.
Beneath Thee
So dreary,
How I have to sit and watch with little wonder;
I’ve not had time of day to lift my eyes up
And look beyond.
Go sinking;
Leave me all alone and I’ll be here tomorrow.
Pick me up my long lost friend, and, you, I’ll follow.
Just be near, t’me.
Beneath thee,
It just takes a bit of convincing
Don’t you know the rain
Is gonna fall either way?
So why cause us this pain
Each and every other day?
I find that the gold mines
In the mountains up above
Hold cases full of cheap wines
And, for me, that is enough.
But they liked what they heard...
It seemed quite strange to me that I could not believe
What I had then just spake with lips, these lips, my lips,
And thought as the subconsciousness, me, moved/spoke to.
And I did utter things that I might rarely think.
I feel feelings that I’ve long felt, dealt not (for what,
No reason under
An Incomplete Parody of Weezer’s Smile
Taking my time
To get it all set up,
I stand to learn
What’s on the up and up.
‘cause he wanted some love,
I let it happen.
He think’s he’s acting slick;
Your boyfriend’s sucking dick.
The way that he just wraps me up
Inside his smile...
S’ lucky, this find
That I have made tonight,
Wonder If You’re OK
In the dawning of my day,
One cold morning, wide awake,
Sit up in bed, and start to pray,
Wondering if you’re okay.
In your bed, you choose to stay;
Welled up tears dry, fill the air.
In moon’s reflection, lightning bugs play
Before their hit with the light rays.
I’ll be a bitter man.
The months I have logged where I longed
And I waited, so cold,
For you to return with my broken soul
Have diminished in lieu of a promise that
I won’t be hurting myself any more.
I sat and I waited in wonder pondering
What it is I should do
I’ve tried and I’ve worked ever since
To be a better man
But I fear that the day I should see you,
I’ll be a bitter man.
Amber Embers
Some day,
When I’m waiting for the sun,
Should I realize
That it’s never coming back ‘round for me again.
If I close my eyes,
Will the amber embers fill my vision?
Or will I still remain
In the dark and lifeless cell that is this prison.
Advertising Heaven
Don’t you dream with me today?
Can’t you see me and my name
Plastered up on billboard signs a ways away?
Can’t you hear my silent scream?
Can’t you see the wound that bleeds?
I swear that you may within my dreams.
And I know
I know the rainbow...
I know
I know how it goes.
I know
That it follows where the showers should blow.
When your vision starts to show
The lustrous, cosmic meadow,
Your thoughts will calm your mind and you will mellow.
But if you’ve let it cloud
And to darkness, you have bowed,
Then fear has you succumbed with tattered shroud.
Would you fear your trow did shatter
When you were nude just as a shadow?
I think you’ll find that it really doesn’t matter.
A Moment in Hell
Red, I’d seen, when closed my eyes.
Through the clouds, color’s still seen.
The moon hides not in pitch black skies,
And, with fright, my sight’s careened,
Searching not to
Heaven’s Wrath is a Heavy Halo
Spreading out my mind,
Relaxing in my sleep,
Selfcontained in heavy deep,
Without light, and so I’m blind.
After grinding of my teeth
With subconscious, steady pressure
My tresured, plesu'ble lesiure
Are my pain pills. Heaven’s wreath,
A sickness of sorts. (Working Title)*
A pain grows deep inside;
The hurt does, my mind, wind
And leaves m’ broken down.
A great pain I did find
An’ this, t’ you, confide.
That I didn’t frown
When lover took th’ crown/
When queen had left m’ side;
M’ bride had so r’sign’d.
M’ love ‘n a grand gown,
H’r mother so had cried
As she, t’ me, resigned.
Th’ fact is that the pain
’s from our broken lives.
Where’s all th’ time w’ spent?
This pain of mine deprives
‘nd undermines all gain.
Quickly th’t it h’d went
*The original title was “A Sickness of Sorts. (working title)”
I am not prepared.
I am prepared not to cry tears of sorrow.
The overflow of joy shall not be present either.
Today, I shall cry tears of defeat
Because these struggles have chipped away at my fortitude, revealing nothing,
And leaving me to be little more than a weak coward.
How I’d hoped a river of relief might have washed over me.
