A Selection of Poems

Not to Love

The words you speak

I can hear them

It plays a music in my heart

But I have to try not to hear them

I wish not to endeavour

In those foolish things

I will not be tempted

For temptation is a sin

A sin in my world

Where the colours are grey

And you do not exist

And I don't have a say

I wish for you to begone

So that my world

It can stay in balance

And not change

If it changed, 

There would be waves

Waves of lights

All over the place

And the thoughts are messy

And disorganized

And what it does it me

It does not make me wise

But one of those times

The waves will disappear

And the thoughts will be straight

And very clear

And for a bit of time

The only wave is red

And maybe some blue

It matters not, I said

So why would I want that?

Not again, I think

For love is greedy

I learned that the hard way
