I started writing poetry this year. I have not really put any out into the world though...
These are unfinished little tidbits I thought I'd put up here as I have not been able to really write much since November because of a certain tragedy....
__________
Angry thoughts and squirrelly notions?
Speech unheard or silent woes?
Lonely noise of unmade motions?
So hard to know, friend from foes.
Speak-out now the why's, hows, and so's.
Tell aloud all want and need,
Sound sweetly a voice; I will heed.
Happiness is what to seek,
Lost abound in a sullen frown.
Disappointed and so meek,
Silence drives thine heart O'so down,
Far 'neath satan's fiery crown.
Then, again, your words make me leap,
Up from bleak sorrow's dreary keep.
------------------------------------------
arms so tight
so safe they'll keep
legs so wound
ensuring you're sound
all the might
make dangers leap
flesh so bound
our peace now found
-----------------------
Life's the same
but not at all
Empty voids
where I now fall
Too numb, so much shock
Dancing stopped
the bass beats on
Your Light opening
Before the dawn
Our minds left grasping
To Move feet
Soles together
Beating on
tough as leather
You left far too soon
Though many stouts
and shots we'll pour
In our cheers
forevermore
You'll be seen and found
