Poem Time

>> Tuesday, September 22, 2009

So, here's another poem from years ago. This one I wrote about my momma.

her natural beauty shines
and touches those around
she brightens up the morning
and happily greets sundown
her anger isnt wrath
but sympatheticness
for she has learned so much of life-
she always knows whats best
her love is so inviting
and reaches to the low
she picks the weak up from their glum
and helps them, then, to grow
her labor is rewarding
but she looks for no award
she's happy on one's good day
and comforts when one mourns
she's a woman of the Lord
and of moral she is true
she is pure angelic in her heart
and a mother, through and through

I Ain't No Emily Dickinson

I used to write poetry a lot. Nothing decent. Mostly silly rhymes about my ever-so-distressing life as a teenager in love. Reading through them at 23 years of age, I find the musings rather, well, amusing.

I remember feeling so sad and upset. I was positive my life was over .. every day. If only I knew then what I know now.

I'll share these silly things with you every now and then - if you promise not to judge me.

Here is one I most likely wrote during a math class:

my eyes are heavy
my minds asleep
my dreams become vivid
much deeper i creep

concentration has left
my hearings absurd
i fall into darkness
please do not disturb

what a heavenly state
i could not resist
oh nothing compares
to this peaceful bliss

ive waited forever
all day at least
and finally i can
lay down to sleep
