Poems Previously Written...

Ok, so here are some poems I wrote. The first poem is a Haiku and was written recently and, I think, is appropriate for the season. The second poem is a Villanelle written two summers ago. It was a poem written, seemingly about an ex-girlfriend, but I really wrote it for the current one I had at the time. The last poem is a Sonnet about being single and looking for the right girl. Enjoy.

A Colorful Funeral

There are Reds and Browns,

Also yellows. It is fall—

Death is here. Breathtaking.

To My Ex

So go, go burn all of your bridges,

you’ll never bring me down again.

It’s in the past, forget the damages.

It took a long time to break the cages

and to find myself without your reign.

So go, go burn all of your bridges.

No need for apologies, I have the bandages.

I have been through mental and physical pain,

it’s in the past, forget the damages.

I am free and happy to overcome challenges,

part ways, and finally move on to another flame.

So go, go burn all of your bridges.

I have met my savior and my heart exchanges

my love for hers’, puts a stop to the games.

It’s in the past, forget the damages.

Forgetting your name is one of my best changes,

so I can be at peace without strain.

So go, go burn all of your bridges,

it’s in the past, forget the damages.

You were always there waiting to be found,

like a game of hide and seek, if you will.

Hadn’t thought to look in the clothes formed mound,

but now that I have you, my heart you fill.

This childhood game that is played is fun,

when everyone takes turns sharing the job

of closing eyes and counting down to one.

Then the search begins, for that hint of throb…

But sometimes games of hide and seek vary,

kids can be mean and hurtful in actions.

They choose to ignore and become wary,

Making me not want to play with these factions

However, every game is worth it to me,

because it has lead myself to find thee.
