I do not write on a regular basis, my poems usually come from emotion. Whether it is joy, anger, sadness, regret, or even impatience. whatever is going on at the moment, whatever I am feeling at that very second is what I put into words. Very rarely do things get rewritten. I believe that some of the best things written or expressed come from the first draft. When you are not second guessing yourself or following someone else's direction. Not saying that I am never open to suggestions I just reserve the right to ignore or disagree with them :)
This feeling crashes over me like a wave it swallows me whole
Knocking me this way and that
Trying to beat me to its will
It floods my mind with images of things I would like to forget
...
I wrote a poem just for you
My favorite memory put down in words
I knew I wouldn't have much more time
I thought I had more than a few months
