Ashley Goncalves Poems

I'm sitting in gym class and your playing soccer with your friends
I watch as you laugh and run as if your youth will never end
It's sad to watch you as you think that they are happy too
But your slowly left to yourself as they edge away from you
...

My pale white feet surrendered with each step into the warmth of sand
Approaching the chill of the ocean's touch my body trembled with each roaring demand
Each beat of my heart ached evermore as I made my way to the roaring sea
And as the energy coursed through my body, I knew my song is the Ocean's symphony
...

Silent flashes of golden white scattered across my hidden canvas of you
The silence it brings in my mind conquers sadness of dark shades and hues
Although time and space mustn't justify the senses enveloping me in this place and time
To adore you in this way with this devotion and love was never in history a crime
...

Dear Journal,

Today I sat alone in class wondering why I was here today
So much has happened and hurt, I have so much to say
...

My love I am submerged in this fairytale of you
The words are left unspoken but still they are true
Although my hopes are as fleeting with might as a steed
My dreams shall not vanquish for what I dearly need
...
