Tristian Ford Poems

Thoughts
are like little droplets of water.
A single drop
doesn't make a huge difference,
...

Sequoia tree

I often liken you
To a night without the moon
...

Nineteen fears
...

Strong on its own
Strong when it's gone
Strong if it stays
Strong when this is how it outplays
...

July 4th,1987

On the day I was born,
Fireworks lit up the sky
...

I've read about a thousand stories
about
Tragedy and Triumph
But never thought of how soon I'd become one.
...

In the darkness of the night
I found the brightest of a light
After I spoke impromptu
Myself alone
...

Momma,
Your Son apologizes
for being such a knucklehead as a kid.
For all the pain he ever caused,
...

The feeling of love is all that I've ever known
Expressed easily now that I've finally grown
The Myrtle tree
A symbol of love milestones
...

He first saw Amelia
On a night full of frigid and unhurried raindrops
Drops that were drowning her in her own world
He watched one drop after another
...
