Poems

Life and Death

Note that most of the poems here are taken from my membership days as a poet at the PoetryBoard. It was a chatboard where we converse in poetry and hiakus. It was a real challenge because some of the members were really good. I've tried to put a name to the poems although there were many that I couldn't remember. Most do not have titles, as like I've said, they were our conversations and conversations do not come with titles. I've tried giving them one but still some are better without. : ) See if you can guess which ones were written by me.

My desire to live,
strangled by a propensity
to dream my life away.

It's just natural,
it gives us some time to breathe,
and to be happy.

But how long can I live
in the false hope
of dreams?

Only as long
as you want to.
Dreams are dreams.
Make them come true,
or trade them in for new ones.
