Joseph Skytta Poems

Thoughtless is the tideless ocean,
Reaping sewn threads with quiver and quill,
Letting endless hours pass in motion,
Staring down a street with no will,
...

For so long I have yearned,
To bay at the full moon at night,
To my dismay I’ve learned,
It’s just a figment of my mind,
...

My love for thee is lost astray,
For reasons unbeknownst to most,
For the way in which I would desire,
Would needn’t be the warmly fire,
...

I’ve been told before,
Calm and twisted is desire,
I do believe,
that the world will fall to fire,
...

As beast in the woods with fur and with fang,
Hunting in pack, together again,
The meal that hunts us is hunted the same,
We starve with the moon which does not remain,
...

Can’t Stay

Staring at the sun I am here,
Wandering alone I need no one,
...

Finally I see my dilemma,
For I, did you choose to circumvent,
Denigrated and encumbered,
Fettered, conquered, I lament,
...

Inside the sickness is rising again,
Nothing is tempered becoming pretend,
Sadly your chaos I recommend,
Lamenting and grieving abandonment,
...

After things started off so well,
How could we end it like this,
All the things that we used to do,
It is you that I will miss,
...

I have no answers for you on this day,
There is nothing here that I can say,
Why don’t you try to figure things out,
Maybe you’ll realize that you have to doubt,
...
