A Hero and A Villain

I wrote this poem as a freshman in college (forgive the amateur-ness).
But I can definitely imagine myself again – looking through that window…

Save Me

I was looking out the window last night
and it’s amazing what you can see
I watched the sun set behind the hills
and I realized I wasn’t free

The sun said goodbye to me
and the moon said hello
But the clouds covered up the moon
and the stars lost their glow

Without the stars to wish upon
and no moon to talk to
I was by myself and trapped
behind a window to look through

I could not escape from this predicament
and it was worthless to even try
An unknown boundary held me in
and it forbade me to cry

Why didn’t my hero saved me
from this villain called “I”
I must really be a hopeless case
Used by love, left to die.

I really don’t mean to be dramatic and tragic all the time. It just sorta fits with the poems I write. I don’t know why it’s easy for me to poems with sad themes. Hmmm. Kinda does make me wonder…

Just A Collection

Why is it so much easier to write about sadness and love? I’m perfectly happy in my marriage.

Maybe it’s because I can imagine what it might be like to lose what I have?

Or have I felt these things before, but didn’t recognize them?

Ah, love. So mysterious!

Collection

Four walls and a door
that’s always closed

Traps suffocating air
that’s gray and blue

A cold, lonely bed
of wishes and tears

Portraits which whisper
bittersweet memories

A room that collects
broken dreams

Deep

I don’t remember what I was thinking about that made me write this. But I kinda like it. Short, but powerful.

Deep

Whatever the circumstance
However hard the choice
No matter the hurdle
You will hear my voice
Explode from the deep
To rise above the din
To conquer any fear
And go for the win.

Shuffled

It’s been so long since I’ve had a long enough time to listen to my MP3 player.  Maybe I ought to start a nightly habit to listening to my tunes before hitting the sack.  “Sweet dreams are made of these…”? Eurhythmics, anyone?

Shuffled

How can I keep Staying Alive
without your love to fire my soul?
Standing at the Crossroads
how will I know my way home?

How can you leave me
and Let It Snow forever here?
Can’t you come back
and bring life to me?

Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head
and I can’t see the way out.
I’m trapped in a lonely world
because you took the Key To My Heart.
