I was able to recover these from an old hard drive... thought they were lost forever! Wasteland I have named you Far away chance of contentment That may never be I am hopeful Hollow hearted, wanting Surrounded by procreation Unworthy I am shattered Slipping, falling, drowning Weighted by guilt and medication No desire to be free I am defective The promise of you fades Swept under by the currents Of infertility I am empty
Knight Shift Today is old already. I didn't say the words burning my tongue. I didn't have to. The phone line was heavy with silence. You sighed; I knew you knew. Seven miles is an ocean; tides of hail and sirens crash on both shores. Nobly you ride those waves with your six-pointed shield; ever the protector, my hero. I'll sleep alone again tonight. You steal the covers, anyway.
Untitled Unrelenting eagerness Insatiable thirst(lust) Singing sleepy half-drunk poetry In between sips of espresso and each other Passion fueled by nicotine and new love We couldn't get enough. Feebly I would blink back the dawn Protesting the early sun's indifference Death, taxes, sunrise Unavoidable inconveniences. (You didn't know then that I'd be yours forever. I'm glad you didn't know.)
My English is unfortunalty too poor to make any refining comment. Though i would like to mention that i like 'Wasteland' of it's dramastic character. We people are good in creating drama's better to say; 'humoristic drama's.'arent we? thank you for sharing.
I assume the words in parenthesis are just your notes - they should be dropped from the final poem. For some reason this title came to me: In Paris This probably had nothing to do with being in Paris, but the poem brought to mind an encounter... where better to encounter new love but in Paris. I enjoyed this one, thanks for sharing. Vetty
