Sometimes I think I am psychotic
and possibly I am.
The ground is breathing,
skies are shimmering
...
Leaving me things, here and there
things only you; my loyal mind-reader
Could possibly know I love
And that is how I know
...
I've thought of dying,
Of what dying may be like;
This is not new;
I've come to a conclusion;
...
When you are young
Your life is condensed
Your grandmother is drinking out of a mug
Your mother is on the phone
...
Live near the ocean
I can taste the salt
In the air around me
Sometimes at night
...
I am 60% the ocean,
the terrible and alluring,
the flowing and rising, sinking;
we, together, are pulled by the moon;
...
I listen to the song you do
and think that possibly
it's playing in your brain
at the same time.
...
I could draw the trees
by your house I know them
and love them so well.
...
I am smoldering
In some invisible fire
I am scratching at my clothes
Trying to tear through my chest
...
I'm looking for something
to destroy myself with,
only before I can
I'm waiting for my favorite constellation
...
There is a place
Somewhere
A place no one can go
It was built by me
...
I am being torn asunder
I must be quarantined
before I become a plague
...
The sky, clouds, and leaves,
offbeat and too variant in their coloring
yet happen to be pleasing
in some odd and miscellaneous way.
...
Sitting in a restaurant;
Suddenly, it was you
in my voice.
I tried to yell
...
Last night
I thought I felt you kiss my forehead
I thought
It's all in my head
...
S.A.D.
I got my share of serendipity
that day I found you.
This dalliance
has been close to glorious,
but our song is ending
and the leaves are growing weary,
slouching at their sides,
they know what's coming
as do I
but please don't fret,
I fell in love
and that cannot be erased.
I'll be back darling.
Wait for me.
I see a talent here, although I didn't read one poem that I felt was really finished. I hope you are reading poetry- maybe some publications like American Poetry Review and Poetry. Keep writing...I'm sincere about believing in your talent.
