WELCOME

..and here are a few things to keep in mind:

This blog contains mostly my poetry and a few thoughts from time to time. The thoughts will be entered when and wherever I feel necessary to keep things in proper order. Thoughts and things not belonging to me will be denoted with asterisks. Poems will be archived by the date which they were written, not by that which they were posted. I tend to update things a month or few after being written so as to keep current issues from wandering unattended around the web.

Enjoy...

“The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean; not to affect your reader, but to affect him precisely as you wish.”

Hate & Again

I hate him with a passion,
the only problem?
the passion is still there.

Mostly I wish he’d disappear,
Be gone from my life,
But then he’d torment others.

I wouldn’t have to see,
but just to know,
my friend has fallen.

I can’t leave her alone!
But what is there
for me to do?
---
This beast, this monster,
I dated him, I loved him,
I hate him.

How dare he even touch me;
Again.
Or my friend.

Leave Room For the Wrath of God

If we fight and argue
We become no better,
gain nothing.
We must turn the other cheek,
Be rid of all our bitterness,
Leave room for the wrath of God.
Be rid of your grudges.
Be kind and passionate,
to all mankind.

To Be Me

I wish to be successful
...and go to a good school
I wish to be happy
...and live a good life
I wish to have peace
...and resolve conflicts in me
I wish to be free
...not tied-down
I wish to be me
...let me be!

Let Me Alone

You confuse me so
I don’t want you
I have you
I can’t hurt you
I won’t hurt you

I miss my freedom
I miss my singleness
I miss my guys

I want to be flirt
I want to be free
I want to have full control of me

Don’t tell me what to do
Don’t pin me down
Let me alone
before I revoke you and yours.
