verbomaniac (poetry + short stories)

triple poems

here are three poems. i wrote two this afternoon and one just now (it's late evening for me). i'll start with the ones from earlier.

"Rose"

In darkness and in light
They'll be side by side
In wrong and in right
They'll take this wild ride

They met at fourteen
When Paige was eager and keen
When the ocean was calm
When the sky was bright

By the shore they spoke
Watching a sunset pale with smoke
Among swathes of fern and palm
A world between day and night

"You're strange," Paige said
And the girl of mystery read
From Paige's soft brown eyes
A story of lost, broken lies
A story of missing
Of pale blue skies

"So are you," the girl replied
And Paige simply sighed
The girl went on, "I'm Rose
I like stars and the way
The moon glows
At the end of each day"

With those words two
Damaged people became one
On the soft ocean shore
Underneath a setting sun

The future is a haze
Nothing is for sure
In a love-filled blaze
Fuelled by trust
Dogged by grey dust
Side by side
Along the ocean tide

i don't like it very much...

here's the next one.

"Desires"

I want to give you all I can give,
I want to share with you the life I've lived.
I want to hold you close and let you go,
I want to learn everything you know.
I want you to have every piece of me,
Here's my heart, here's its key.
I want to love you for our time,
I want to show the corners of my mind.
I want to do what's out of reach,
And hold onto bits of sweet.
I want to know your weirdest dreams,
I want us to pull together at the seams.
I know these are simply desires,
But I want to fuel your fires.
I want to be somewhere I can love you,
I'll spark something beautiful, new.
I'll take your hand, and until I must,
I won't let go, we'll forge a trust.
I want to love you and you to love me,
So here's my heart, and here's its key.

last one, from just now. it's really short and hopefully a little inspirational. be you, because that's all you need to be.

"Untitled"

To become a flame
You must first learn
How to burn

To become a star
You must find you way
Through darkness

Sometimes the best path
Has the most cracks
