Comfort Food

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

With each delicious bite I take
I can feel the stomach pains beginning
Sweet chocolate, creamy center
Fending off sorrows with tasty goods
Training them to be timid, like a dog with her bone

The second course
Sweeter than the first
The stomach pains grow again
Of each bite I’m wary, but I continue
Maybe the stomach pains will distract me

With the last bite, I look around for more
Sitting alone, hoping eternal the taste in my mouth
Regret sinks in, but I do not mind
Bring on the stomach pains
What else have I tonight

Another Roller Coaster Ride

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

This poem makes a bit more sense when paired with its sister

I think into my past
Where every moment hurt
Mended oh so purely
By a lovely girl
I felt my old heart ache
I felt pains pierce my chest
And then they were comforted
Bad thoughts put to rest
I felt my hopeful moments
I remembered happy thoughts
And now they were unending
Encouraged all so much
I remembered my old smile
Littered with regret
But all had been forgotten
By this beauty that I’d met
With each pleasent moment
Existed thrice the ‘mount of love
The thought of being with her
I couldn’t hold close enough
And now I look at you
Forsaken and afraid
Of what may lay ahead of me
In these future days
Such good times you showed me…
Yet, my feelings hurt
But I refuse to crawl
Back into that dirt
All those cold emotions
That I thought I’d lost
Once again resurfaced
With such an endless cost
I hoped that you were good for me
But together we planted a seed
Of a slow but steady burden
That I was too hopeful and ignorant to read
I wished you would be good for me
And still I hope inside
But I’m unable to survive
Another roller coaster ride

Lifeless (Taken)

Monday, March 10th, 2008

Shallow words
Can’t escape my chest
They have nowhere to go
Open doors
Remain locked
Keeping me out
Risen Gates
I dare not enter
For fear they will fall
Hollow rooms
Imprison me
From my true desires
Heavy chains
Weigh me down
Locked onto myself
Flowing water
I dare not stray
For fear I will be washed away
Rising steps
I cannot climb
My strength for now eludes me
To the sky
I dare not look
There’s nothing there for me
And dreams
I cannot have
For fear they will be taken from me
What help
If any
Can be given to the lost?
The lifeless?
The taken?
And with whom
May I bargain
For my life?

Plea

Every action you take…
Every emotion you fake…
Every dieing you wake…
Just a plea for help…

Ronan

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

Hand in hand the Ronans sleep,
Guard by guard they look and weep,
Skies of darkness fall on all,
Fires burning, life’s last call.

Held in prison, their own land,
Shown a sentence all but glad,
Past the hour children sleep,
Not to wake within this keep.

Each guards’ step would summon fear,
Actions shedding not a tear.
Soulless beasts, as we would call,
Bringing death to us all.

One by one, day and night,
Worthless courage would not fight.
Weakened bodies lay with fear,
Holding their last loved ones dear.

Such did happen until a night,
With a fire, hope did light.
Explosion cast, set us free.
Unsure of safety, we did flee.

Though hope was felt and freedom had,
Nothing saved those hurt so bad.
The mind and body, all so weak,
The Ronans’ future, very bleak.

So cast aside your horrid arms,
With spirit, let those free.
A lesson I hope you have learned,
From the horror that can be.

Do Not Call Me Mad

This poem was in a way inspired by Edgar Allen Poe’s The Tell Tale Heart.
