Here are some of the poems I have written.
Most of them are from a few years ago. Hope
that you enjoy them.
"Before the Light"
People think that I am weird
Just because I am "different"
Someday I'll show them all
That day when I am cheered
But until that day comes
I'll have to deal with them
Then they will see my charm
And wish they knew me before
Before that is, before I see the light
The light taking me to paradise
No longer will I stare into the darkness
The darkness in which they call night
The night which is my home
The shadows who are my friends
Maybe then those souls will
Wish they had known me before
Before the light
"Normal" People
Every night I walk
I walk through darkness
Through a valley
A valley of lost souls
The souls are my friends
But they are strange to me
Darkness surronds me
So does fear, and anger
This is usual for me
Nobody listening
Nobody caring as to what I say
Only the souls care
I watched as "normal" people
Lived their boring lives
And I looked back and
Realize mine was like their's
Now the darkness bores me
And I wish I could once
Again be part of the "normal"
People with boring lives
Blood
Blood:
Thick and red
Running down my arm
Bleeding from my wrist
Darkness:
Cold and lonely
It's all I see
I passed out
Noises:
Loud and confusing
They are all I hear
Now I hear sirens
Voices:
Quiet and pleading
The voices turn to cries
I can now hear them panic
Movement:
Gentle and swift
I feel myself lifted
Then set down carefully
Blood:
Stopping and drying
It's to late
I slip away
Darkness:
Again cold and lonely
I wish it would leave
But it stays
Noises:
Faint and mournful
I hear music playing
And a door close
Voices:
Tearful and wishful
Crying praying
Then they stop
Movement:
Slow and careful
I feel myself lifted
Then lowered down far
Insomnia
Insomnia,
I suffer from it
How close are we?
We're like old friends
When I can't sleep
When my mind is racing
As 100 thoughts cross my mind
I know insomnia is with me
Sometimes,
I tire of its company
Wanting to visit with
and old friend, Sleep
Other times, like now
I'd rather stay awake
And chat
With insomnia
What do we discuss?
What are the topics
of our late night rants?
Mostly of the things
in the here and now
What I should do,
What choices to make
Sometimes,
It's depressing
But not as bad,
As when insomnia
Brings up the past
That is when
Sleep is my preferred guest
And when insomnia,
Has over stayed its visit
Right now,
I need to visit sleep,
Insomnia must take a trip
Though isn't it obvious?
If someone writes,
Poetry, feelings about insomnia
That they get visited a lot?
Sleep may make a weekly visit
But insomnia is here to stay
So get used to it I guess,
And enjoy the rest,
One breath at a time
