A few old poems

I stumbled across these poems I wrote awhile ago. 

~~~

I don't remember writing this one, and it's not very good, but it has a cool message. Enjoy:

Crying again
againagainagain
sorrows nibble at my toes
my fingers, my lips, my nose, my ears, my hair…

But my eyes are unharmed so that they may properly weep.

Woe! Woe is me; that ancient phrase that never ceases to be applicable. Woe!
For what is life if not meaningless?
Show me the meaning!
This dream is crushed. That dream is crushed. What have I to live for? I cannot live for myself, for my dreams are crushed. Myself is all that matters to me; therefore life is meaningless.


Crying again
Againagainagain
Sorrows nibble at her toes

Wait. Her?
Hark!
There she weeps; apart, alone, desperate, hopeless. Life is meaningless.

Woe! Woe is she! Woe!
Her dreams are crushed. Nothing to live for.


Here am I. I am here. She is there. No more! Approaching.

She is here. I am here. We are here.
Cry to me! I hear you. I understand. My sorrows are your sorrows.

You.
Are all that matter to me.
Life, for me, has purpose.
I have you to live for.
To hold you, to see your tears cease, is the dream I have now.

For when I stop.
Care about someone else.
You, anyone; if you are in pain,
Your world becomes my world.
And I no longer matter to myself.
This. Is my meaning.
To love you.

This one was unearthed in my computer files. It's entitled, "Ice Cream in Heaven":

Unbearable heat

Sweating and panting

Oppressive, smothering

Bright exhausting scorching sun

Eyelids close

Soft death

And then

In your hands, joy,

Sweet, sugary, cold joy

Lick the heavenly cream

Pure, untouched goodness

Catch the cool drips

Then the sweet crunch

Sticky smiles

Soft relief

~~~

God bless.
