Poetry. I write it.

I thought I might share a poem or two that I've written once in a while. Some of them are fairly obvious in subject. Others require an explanation you will not find here. Sorry. Some are newish. Some are old. Ancient even. I wrote a lot more in my late teens. Probably because the internet was so boring then.  

So here you go. Please enjoy and do not judge. Or copy ;)

Fun fact: You'll notice that I wrote these two exactly 14 years apart.

Untitled  8.16.98 
I wondered what it was
about you that made me nervous
but I let you kiss me
anyway.
I just closed my eyes
and let it all happen.
Now, you glance at me,
only when you think
she can’t see you. 

"New Shoes"  8.16.12
The way you held my hand
was not tender or even kind.
But full of malice
and you would not
let me go.

I poured my heart out
to you, but it spilled
and sloshed
and splashed
and made a mess of things.

You were upset;
it had soiled your new shoes.
shiny and black.
The ones you bought
just to walk all over me.
