These are some short poems I've written; they're nothing special, just something I like to do to pass the time. They're all from posts I have done on my blog.

Six Days of Silence

my feet are sinking

nine feet into the ground.

my lungs are filling

with waves and rivers.

my fingers are curling

around the edges of the earth.

my skin is scorching

into the violent sun.

My heart is bleeding

and leaking your love.

but where are we now?

where are

you?

Leave

liquid roses falling up the path

scurrying on to meet her wrath

and afterward they will retreat

and soon again this fate will repeat.

until someday they learn to defy

the girl who's made their lives pass by.

Ephemeral

She passes by

with a twisted face

her lips crimson with blood

her heart wrapped in lace.

He chases after

with a quickened pace

his love evanescent

his heart locked in a case.

Fracture

she gasps

           falls

              purges her heart.

it's of no use anymore;

it's fallen apart.

She Dares

she catches stars out of the sky;

the rules of the world she has learned to defy.

The Things We Give Up

The girl's tired eyes glimpse back to regrets as infinite smoke twirls from her short cigarettes.

The boy moves forward but flashes back to memories of the girl's sweet kiss among flurries of faeries.

Our Love was Evanescent

Your mellifluous words still tumble from your tongue,

Your fragrant scent still dances in the air,

Your labyrinthine steps still thud upon the floor,

And the sun still shimmers off your dark tendrils of hair.

But you, my dear,

are not here.

Free Fall

It's time for me to let go.

I've been holding on for a while now,

trying to deny the inevitable decent.

But if I let go,

I would fall,

and there would only be the air, rushing past me,

nothing to grab,

nothing to hold.

Nothing to stop me.

Maybe that's what's best.

Free.

Blind

Stop trying to tell me who I am,

when you never even bothered to really see me.

We'll Never be the Same Today as we were Yesterday

She's leaving,

drifting away,

her edges blurring,

her words blending,

her heart fading.

It took so long to find her,

and now she's being ripped from my grasp.

Fate

"Everything happens for a reason," you said.

Is that just your way of pretending things aren't broken?

I guess I could use the reassurance, too.

If only I believed you.
