- Poetry > Free Verse
I used to hate strong waves. Losing control to the ocean And the sly rips were my worst fear But then you left. I had a new fear. It began like the tides: One day you were here And the next you were gone, Constantly dragging sand away Each time you returned Until there was barely anythi... - Poetry > Free VerseThe rain never stops these days. It just drills into my skull And chills my sun kissed skin, Tapping On my shoulder begging me to remember, But I can't. So I keep trudging along, The further I mumble through the rain; the louder it gets, The drumming. The flooding. The screaming. I sm...
- Poetry > SonnetOften I look to the water And I do not see my reflection anymore, The surface ripples in the breeze Allowing me to know something’s underneath, Even when distorted I see him daring me to take the forfeit, I continue to search For what it submerged, But all I see is him. Blue eyes ...
- Poetry > Free VerseI close my eyes: Blood trickles down my childhood memories, Torn flesh rips my innocence apart, Thick grey skin smothers my future, And the eyes…black beady eyes glaring at me, Daring me, whispering to me Come in the water. Get your revenge. I won’t hurt you. You hurt me, I force t...
- Poetry > Free VerseEvery person wants to love And be loved, Because that’s basic humanity, Caring, loving, hurting, It’s all part of being human, Being real, But we don’t all do it, Not everyone is prepared to bare their soul, Some people are, They will go to extremes for others, And they ar...
- Poetry > Free VerseUnderneath the serenity, There is war, A seal may appear peaceful When it approaches land, But below, in the abyss, Everything is far from that. One fin, silver skin and black eyes, Two of them. They approach the seal, One circles it, Directing the attention away From the black ey...
- Poetry > Free VerseEvery story has an end, Whether it’s sad Or it’s joy, Either way it’s the end. But what about my story? A story of fun and adventure, And also a story of hurt and despair, But I do not know how my story will end. I can only wish that it ends in love, Who with? That I do...
- Poetry > Free VerseI didn't want it like this, I wanted a fairy tale, Where, when you found out, You kissed me and hugged me, I wanted you to want me, Need me even, But that's a fairy tale, This is reality, I was fooled into thinking That they were the same, We were the same, But I was wrong. ...
- Poetry > Free VerseCurrents move the water. Squirming, snaking and slithering Through the depths till they reach the surface, And then the gushes of air come, Plucking the currents from peace To force them forwards, Another current swipes, And another crashes, Another burns with power, And another dive...
- Poetry > BalladWhen you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw your eyes fill up when I smiled at my first football. When you thought I wasn’t listening, I heard you cheer at my first goal. When you thought I wasn’t watching, I watched you jump up and scream when my team won. When you thought I wasn’t...
- Poetry > BalladI promised I would remember, The curve of your soft lips, And the way they melted to mine, Moulding to one another until our time was up, Then you would say, “Always and forever.” I promised I would remember, Your syrupy charming chuckle, As it made my lips perk up, Yours would t...
- Poetry > BalladI don't know what to say, You've already said it all, I know about your family You love them, I know about your friends You care for them, I know about your dreams You nurture them, But I don't know about me, I don't know if you like me Or love me, I don't...
- Poetry > All PoetryFractured moonlight reflected into my eyes, Blinding me, White light was my vision, Emptiness was despised. My legs thrashed in the foreign water, I couldn’t breathe, Every time I did, I felt a sudden splutter. It went black and fog invaded me, Memories drifting away on a storm ...
