chris schwartz Poems

Keep your audition to yourself,
But, Babe, I wasn't acting.
This thing for you is real.
Can't do what I did back then
...

I didn't see her,
Until I recognized
What the stars meant
On the first night
...

Cast my thoughts to the wind!
May I have one more day
To try to unwind,
In the world
...

Time spent in Haste
Is never a waste,
Time saved
Building bank accounts
...

There's much inside my head
That hasn't healed.
Doesn't matter
If I stay,
...

I'm a rebel child,
Don't need no gun
In my hands
Kill myself softly
...

I couldn't fall asleep, so,
I went out on the patio,
To gaze at the stars.
Yep…there you are.
...

When there is more Silence
Than Screams,
More long nights,
And less sweet dreams,
...

When dreams collide
And the chapters are done
We are nothing more
Then characters
...

Chalk one up to paradise
Always see the blue sky
Before the clouds
Hit the ball into the pocket
...
