Poetry

While i recognize that my poetry is probably somewhat angsty and shitty, i still am under the impression that some people enjoy reading it. As a result, every once in a while, im going to post a poem or two. I have to be honest-thats mostly gonna be on days when i have nothing better to say, but i still feel like updating this thing. Today is definitely a day like that. So here we go with two of my latest poems. Read and enjoy. Or read and feel demoralized and a little dumber than when you started. I dont really care.



Deeper Than the Sea

I sail away from shore again
Glad to be at sea
The gentle rock of deep blue waves
Sends a true calm right through me
My heart is half on ocean floor
And half inside your hands
I feel the absence of my full self
As I walk on foreign lands
I'm bound to you in all i do
I'm not sure that you see
That dear, my love for you is strong
And deeper than the sea
Aft! Aft! Hard to port!
A storm is coming fast!
But even if a hurricane brews
It cannot change the past
It cannot change the words you said
And, undoubtedly, meant
And blow away my misery
Or drown the tears I've spent
I wish my life could change for good
Like the winds that always blow
But dear, the sea, and love of thee
Are all that I have known



Mirage

Through the haze of drizzling rain
And the din of thundering
A mirage begins to fill my view
And starts me blundering
An image transfixed in my mind
Fills my eyes therein
And causes happiness to swell
And makes my face to grin
A daydream that invades my nights
And, once, was partly true
Is monopolizing all my thoughts
To make me long for you
This dream is not a fleeting glance
But a day you spent with me
When i carried you through flooded streets
And we took shelter under trees
A minute we spent on a bridge
When falling raindrops flattered you
When the Tyndall Effect simply filled our gaze
And the sunset warmed us through
Those rainclouds still exist in me
And rain drops soak my soul
For only in this vision's joy
Do i ever feel as if im whole
But now the drizzling rain has stopped
And the mirage is gone from view
And i am left all cold and wet
With my unrequited love for you
