Of Ashes and Dust
Sorrow

I have lost my ambition

And my soul is awry

I am in such a condition

That I cannot cry

My Dog Died Today

:(

Fault

Let me down at least once more

I have not yet had enough

Displace your anger onto me

Let me take each blow

One by one

Until you feel better

And by all means

Desert me

Because as long as you’re happy

The world is at peace

My Loveliest Rainbow

My red,

My blue,

My green,

My yellow,

My violet,

And my orange

Swirl into

Black

A Poem To A Future Lover

The beaches, forests, and the snow

No matter where you go, you’ll glow

Although you aren’t always home

You will never be alone

You are in my heart and prayers

And God will always be there

If you dreams ever deminish

Know that I will help you finish

And no matter what you do

Remember that I love you

Endearing Title

Home is where the heart is

Your heart is my home

And I will try my hardest

To make you my own

You are my only

Of this I am sure

I’ll take all of your lonely

And conjure a cure

From our smiles and laughter

And all of our pleasure

We’ll live happily ever after

Forever and ever

Oh, how you are sought

And yet you know not

Maybe You Should Just Let Me Be

I’m not impressed with your fanciness

And everything you think you got

I can do without all your spouting at the mouth

And I’d really prefer it if you stopped

I’ve been doing fine just biding my time

Waiting for love to come and find me

But if it’s true and you’re so caught up with you

Then maybe you should just let me be

If Only You Knew

My heart and my mind are racing

And my lungs just can’t keep up

The butterflies are spastic

And they’re about to fuck shit up

Daniel (Everything will be okay)

You make the moon shine as bright as the sun

You make the rain feel warm against my skin

You turn ferocious winds into a calming breeze

You take my world and make it mine again

The plants are lush everywhere you might look

And yet Autumn leaves fall from the trees

And everyone has the whole weekend off

And decides to spend it with their families

The ocean is bright blue and clear as glass

The only thing bluer is the sky above

People greet each other with such big smiles

And instantly feel unconditional love

You take my world and make it mine again

I only hope that all of these changes stick

You can be the co-pilot of my life

In other words, I’ll call you my Sidekick

Star-Crossed Contact

We weren’t star-crossed lovers

More like star-crossed contact

We loved one another

But lost parts of ourselves from impact

Then we separated

And continued on our paths

But our travels were askew

Our true lovers couldn’t match

She found her real soul mate

But because of me

Their collision wasn’t direct

The way that it should be

She fell in love with him

Then they separated as well

She’s headed for the sun

A burning, dismal, lonely hell

I am saved from this fate

Only because I am content

Wandering void of love

Until my life is spent

I don’t usually post another person’s work but this is one of my favorite poems ever

A Poison Tree

I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I water’d it in fears,
Night & morning with my tears;
And I summoned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright;
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine,

And into my garden stole
When the night had veil’d the pole:
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretch’d beneath the tree.

Sunset of Ashes

Our infernal love

Left burns, scars, and rashes

I now see in your eyes

A sunset of ashes

Suicide Note

Lord Jesus, comfort me

Send angels to come for me

Let them hear my lament

And hasten their descent

Remove me from all I resent

I feel as though my life is spent

Show me to that golden gate

Where all angels and saints wait

Relinquish me of my fate

And let me rest somewhere great

I think my death is overdue

Jesus, let me start anew

I will bid my life adieu

And I will go to be with you

Lord, Take Away My Pain

I will give the Lord my pain

And let Him take me away

Far away from here

And eliminate my fear

His name I will sing

And I will give him all my praise

If He could do me this one thing

And take away my pain

I will confess all my misdeeds

And pray for my enemies

I will give up all my greed

And donate to charities

I will lead my church in prayer

Pray for every soul that’s there

And I would never be the same

If He would just take away my pain

Although life may change

My devotion will remain

If His love could fall on me like rain

And just take away my pain

Anthem

My mis’ry ‘tis of thee

Harsh pain and agony

Of thee I scream
