Im entering a new poetry contest next month, I
was wondering if you guys could read a few of my
favoritesand tell me which one you think is a sure
winner :)
*1115
He could be your hero if he wanted to
But don't let him find his red cape.
We waste our time soaring through underground
tunnels
In the Metropolis no one can hear your scream.
We travel overground routes
They all shout more than you, there.
Your covered in white, furry reminders
You stand to shake them off.
The wind picks them up, and they land on him.
You wonder, `Does he realize what he has?'
And he could be your refuge if he wanted to,
but don't let him have his red cape.
*210
And I tried to be forgiving
while sitting alone on swing sets
And I tried to be forgiving
being the last one to be brought home
And I tried to be forgiving
while decisions were made without telling, asking
And I tried to be forgiving
while I was ignored and forgotten
But 210 months later I cant be silenced
Even if I wanted to
Even if I tried to
210 months later a new fire burns
It glow reflects in my eyes
Its heat burns out of my mouth
210 months have taught me nothing changes here
Except that 210 months later, I cannot be silenced
And you'll listen this time
And if you dont, I wont need you to
Because I wont have to try ever again.
*Metaphor
She sits on a cushion by a window,
Her eyes bright like yellow glass beads,
They stare through time at everything and nothing,
Beautiful thick fur covering her body,
A permanent smile reassures those nearby,
Under her right foot is a sharp thorn,
It has torn its way through her pink delicate skin,
It leaves a thick scabbing scar,
They take her for walks- not knowing any better,
They push the imbedded thorn deeper into her,
On her eye is a wet stain,
Opague to those who aren't looking,
Its her own private momento from time,
Its a memory of tears that have gone unnoticed
and uncleaned,
They smile at her gentle meow,
In their ignorance, everything is fine.
*Restlessness
I dreampt we lay upon a cloud
in a hazy daze on lazy days
we found melody in eachother.
You went off chasing butterflys
and I sat alone
and a song catches my ear,
I listen as I blush
the Harmony, the Symphony-
should I follow it?
His song offers me comfort and feelings very new,
but you exist on my cloud and you exist on my
cloud...
*Naturalization
Ode to Dylan Thomas:
Words that stick to my gums
pour from my fingers as easily as
the ink that leaks from my pen.
Expression. Confession.
Suppression. Degression.
Repulsion.
Sense Impression.
*Lets Just Be Friends
Bright lights glare at our faces,
Your looks are not of beauty-
but it doesn't matter.
Who thought you'd be here?
Who thought I'd have look up and find this person?
Compliments and soft drinks,
Glasses and the Pretty eyes they hide.
Shared interests, good intentions-
Marital Status: Taken.
The glare reappears from miles away.
My pride is in interest,
but you are my interest.
Alrite my dear forbidden love-
For now lets just be friends.
*For Him
You hold a force you cant contain
It glow inside you like a star
It makes you shine, it makes me melt
It carries my new feelings far
above the earth like fireworks
that soar from earth and then explode
but I simply cannot erupt
and my feelings I wont unload
So this power that you have
holds me in the palm of your hand
Im afraid to leave it because its so beautiful
