24 Poems ~ 24 Hours
Ah, how I love the things I love
I love the things I love in case you could not notice
I’m totally in love with some one or thing
This lovely love makes me feel all lovey when I see what I love
I…
Alright
You got me
I hate all of you
What happens when what you truly want comes your way
Do you feel for the life that you should have had
Or do you think of the things that should have been
Do you sit and think of what would have been in a life that was changed
Why do you question what could have been after the choice was made
Choices are things that make you the person who you will become
The things that you meet head on are the things you are meant to meet
The world does not chose for you
Your life is a choice that you make
You can be that one person that is the saddest and regrets all that was done
Or you can accept the choices that you made and continue to move forward
Continue on your path and do what you can to make your best choices
Remember that when you truly get what you want it’s not always what you truly wanted
Poe purchases a purple curtain
On dull, dark, and soundless days
Why Ravens rap at his chamber door,
No one is ever certain
Its hard to look at him
knowing he’s a shell,
The man he used to be
I always loved him well.
Somewhere deep inside
There are things he can see
Annie, he once called
He was expecting me.
Time is running out
Some days he gets worse,
Mom has had it rough
Not sure how she copes.
Cruel it all may seem
My tears that often fall
But he’s still my dad
I love him most of all.
A wish for that which has been long gone and forgotten
A time and hope that held the one thing that had been a want and not a need
The forgotten world that is remembered on a whim
The memory of a dream that had once held the hope of the unbroken
A simple wish said as the head lays on a pillow
Will the dream come true and the hope that something new is coming
The thought that things would happen in the simplest way
An unknown with a small look and a simple smile
What becomes of a simple dream when the world changes the hope
When did the wish change, the hope fade and faith become thin
Why did the world change so much of a simple dream
The smile fades and the world continues to grow
And without knowing the dream becomes something more
A forgotten wish becomes a new glow in the dark
The wish was never forgotten just placed to the side as the world began to turn
The words of the wish are whispered in a silent night and remembered time
Let the wish of that dream become a shooting star that will never be forgotten
See it shine in the night when the night seems the darkest
The faith and hope of the wish shines bright
The encounter was bound to happen eventually,
They just didn’t know it.
They envisioned their career being the most important part of their lives.
They never bothered to look for love.
It just fell into their hard working laps.
When they understood each other,
When they realized that both of them would better the other,
When they discovered the mysterious world of “Love,”
They understood that life is more than a paycheck.
One of the mysteries of life?
Unlocked with a graze of their lips.
He shackled her legs
as she started her day,
Already confused
She’s far from okay.
Frightened and hurt
and made an exhibit,
Lost and confused
but no one can visit.
Wronged and demeaned
She now wants to die,
Lower than dirt
and now they know why.
She did what they asked
it wasn’t enough,
They probed on her psyche
and she had it rough.
They wrecked her frail mind
She cried every minute
the power they had
to just crush her spirit.
Stepping onto the old wooden steps,
I feel as though I have seen this place before.
Where have I been for the past several years?
I have to keep moving.
Stepping onto the old wooden boat,
I feel as though I have been at this place before.
Where have I smelled this before?
I start to paddle.
Paddling deeper into the ocean,
I feel as though these waves are too familiar.
Where have I felt their push before?
I look ahead, and start to take out my fishing pole.
I realize my actions,
They have all happened before.
I have seen this image a thousand times in my dreams.
I have felt the stillness of the pole while I waited for my dinner to show.
I always woke up after this part.
Woke up in the middle of nowhere,
Woke up to the chaotic life of mine,
Woke up to the daily work load of mine,
Woke up to the unfulfilled dreams of mine.
But today I finally slept long enough to watch the first catch of my life.
I finally felt the rush of a flapping creature pulling my fishing pole.
It’s gasping for air,
I mean water.
I can’t breathe.
What did I just do?
I can’t breathe!
It’s wide eyes are staring right at mine.
It’s lips are open and it’s still flopping around.
I can’t breathe!
I mean,
The fish!
It can’t breathe!
My hands,
Violently shaking in fear.
I let it go.
It falls in and swims away.
I jump into the ocean with it.
But I can’t swim.
I am not even trying to move.
I sink down.
And I just keep sinking.
I can feel the pressure of the heavy water pushing me down,
Deeper and deeper.
I can’t breathe,
My vision is slowly fading,
I can feel the intensity of the saltwater fill my lungs.
I wake up now.
Wanting to sink to the bottom of the ocean once again.
King Arthur and his bride
We’re happy side by side
They knew true joy
They couldn’t be happier if they tried
At least, that is what the people thought
Deep down, both were torn
Arthur the king and warrior worn
Guinevere would displease him
Arthur wanted to trust her each morn
But he was uncomfortable with her company
And so she fell in lust
With a knight Arthur had put trust
This knight was the mighty Lancelot
Performing deeds that would make Arthur’s heart bust
Because deep down he loved her more than country
The traitorous Lancelot revealed his deed
And Camelot became in need
His sins created the fall
But Arthur did not make him bleed
He offered forgiveness for this atrocity
The two lovers were now insane
How can the king in his brain
Even offer them another chance
Both deep down would desired to be slain
But instead it was the king who died
The two remained as the table crumbles
And they could feel the heavenly rumbles
And so they fled to find the monetary
Nun and abbot, they left their stumbles
In exchange for the oath of righteousness
Eyes fixed left and right
how will I sleep on?
Watching me, making rules
How my nights are long.
Hiding in my room
scared to even think,
Eyes all cast on me
they don’t even blink.
Eyes all fixed on me
scrutinizing all,
knowing what I do;
backed against the wall.
Eyes that look my way
How long will they stare?
Watching me, talking much
Some may even glare.
