Sadness Lover
“Sadness Lover” Stanzaic Rhythmic Poetry, 4-25-00 Fight against what makes you happy, Thrive on others’ pain. Pray for what you fear receiving. Don’t forget my name. Keep close the things you long to kill for, You have only you to lose. Love me, leave me, always and never, For only you will I choose. Resort to acting half your age When things you fear approach you. Live on in sadness like in death. You know I’d never hurt you.

Scars
“Scars” Free Verse, New Poetry, 8-4-16 Some nights when I can’t sleep My mind wanders back to another time Where the heartache must have happened To someone else, someone I never knew. I want to go back sometimes Maybe to right the wrongs Or do things differently. The memories still have power over me. I hate that I’m still reminded of you After so many years and wasted tears. I wish I could take them all back. It was my youth I allowed stolen. I gave you myself because I loved you. I managed to survive the pain of loss, But then you came back And almost destroyed what was left…

Be Wise
Free Verse Poetry-For Poetry Workshop Class. “Be Wise” 2002 Had I your intelligence I’d use it wisely. I would carve a pretty face in alabaster, as smooth as my reflection, with eyes of cool jade. I would apologize for not loving me, and say, “Another man will, one stronger than me.” If I don’t wait forever, what will you lose?
