David Knox Poems

because i don't lie
i'm just not interested you may have more fun with pie
but sometimes i can be interested and smile with one eye
for it is the eyes and memories that
...

No really
Literally
I think I love you
You make me so excited too
...

'No you really shouldn't hold my hand, it's dry and bleeding'
'You really don't get it do you? '
'What do you mean? '
'The important part is that it's yours, and I love you, I love all of you '
...

It has taken coming back to a place of hopelessness to show me
The greatest source of hope is the paradox of pressure and value
The greatest hope that conquered my hopelessness and uselessness
Was actually the realization that all that I have done
...

The overwhelming waste
All the time
All the tears
All of my young life
...

Ashes flying everywhere
A swirl of dust
The leaves fly to and fro completely lost in the torrent of wind
A coldness is shattered by flames of royalty
...

What is a sacrifice that does not cost you anything
Is it really giving something up when it's unimportant?

What I've learned is that sacrifices have a cost
...

God You do not withhold good
You are not waiting until I'm ready for the good
Not waiting for me to earn what you give as a free gift
I'm not on hold, my life's not on hold
...

God You commit Yourself to me
I will love You deeply
I will listen slowly
I will stare intently
...

Never is the opposite of forever
And yet never always lasts forever
Even though never is the inverse of eternity
Eternity is the duration of non-existent time of never
