J.D. Crockett Poems

blurs of white flying by
losers emit a mournful cry
a comeback from when they trail
winners give a triumphant yell
...

Its lonely out here tonight
rooftops at sunset make me feel
how I feel changes everyday
trying to figure out what is real
...

what can you say?
to make someone believe
that what your feeling is true?
to help them move on
...

Why won’t the memories fade?
Everything else fades, just not them
Paint fades, eye sight fades
But not memories, they stay till the end
...

What is love?
Is it just a Game?
Is it more than emotion?
Or is it just a name?
...

Love is like a blue bird,
a flash of color
in an otherwise drab world.
...

Confusion rips through me even now,
when I think on you my first regret,
on how quickly love can turn into hate,
after these years the hate we wont forget.
...

Alone I stand on the razors edge
Facing a choice, a fork in the road
Persevere now, or give up
Give up on seeds I have sown
...

The ground jumps
and buildings fall
but still I stand fast.
Shaking so hard
...

Here I lie pondering my choice
a choice that changed my life
turned myself into this thing
that merely haunts your dreams
...
