Philosophical Poems
This section is strangely named...I've included all my poems that are sort of miscellanious. They vary from disparing, to deep, to just plain simple and cute. I thought "Philosophical" was a good title for it!
Playing Tag with Happiness
Bouncing balls on four square courts,
jumping rope amid a twirl of giggles.
Your life's dreams and goals thwacking inside your heart
as your feet dance upon the pavement.
Three recesses a day;
taking a break from the worries of the world
sliding head first in to a pile of sawdust
only to jump and climb back up to try it again.
Swinging feet high in to the air
flying above the earth; watching it slide beneath you
gliding through hopes and wants
as if they were a simple cloud.
Running laps around your life
darting between trees trying to outrun yourself.
Life is so simple back in the day when you were simply
playing tag with happiness.
Voice My Wonders
Silently I sit and ponder
over life and love.
Loving and living in one bubble of thought.
Playing tag with happiness.
Too many times I've kept my thoughts
all bottled up inside me,
not letting them pour out;
stream across paper like water from a leaking cup.
And now they come, a torrent of mismatched curiousity
flowing from every pore of my being
Pointing at the world in demand;
arguing for answers.
Why is love the thing that everyone wants and needs?
Why is what you think you need something that hurts so much?
Is it possible to be happy with yourself
when the world isn't happy with you?
Or do you live your life trying to fit in with the others
and therefore feel accepted.
For isn't acceptance the key to happiness?
Or is happiness a mytholigcal figure; only existing in fairy tales?
I had it once within the reach of the tips of my fingers
if only I'd stretched an inch more, I would have grasped it
a full palmed grip on reality;
stabilizing myself on a thought that is mearly a dream.
For life is but an endless shadow of dreams and hopes,
forever wavering in length with the glow of the sun.
Silently it creeps up on you until you burn,
not having realized you lie resting in it's deadly rays, you crisp.
So send your secrets out in to the infinite void;
let them bounce of the walls of time.
And maybe somewhere in the great future that will be the past
someone will know the answer.
I voice my wonders only to hear the echoes as the world wonders back at me
ABCDC
Living my fantasies
one day at a time.
Too many dreams for one day.
Broken hearts and falling tears
washing my dreams away.
So many visions,
too many hopes.
Bury my sorrow with dreams.
Watching them flounder time after time
never succesful it seems.
Trying to make it,
trying to move.
I'm running this race to win.
Waves rolling over, pushing me down.
Sinking when I try to swim.
Running
Running
backward, forward, sideways
trying to find my way.
Running round and round in circles
lost beyond belief.
I search desperatly
I want an escape
an easy answer.
I find black holes
continuous troubles.
Can't go where I want
can't go back where I came from.
Can't find what I need.
Help me God
I'm so lost.
Running
forward, backward, sideways.
Constantly running
fleeing from
myself.
I Want Out
What is it?
What's wrong?
Is it the world's a little twisted?
Or am I off my nut?
Why can't I stop thinking
about everything?
I want to shut my mind down.
I don't want to deal with this anymore.
I want out.
I want to be out.
What's wrong with me?
Can this be fixed?
Can I be fixed?
Am I beyond hope?
Should I let go?
How do I?
Swallow some pills and kiss the world good-bye?
A knife, a rope.
Am I determined to die?
I just want to be better.
I don't want to deal with this anymore.
What is it?
What's wrong?
I want out.
Release Your Wonders
Do not sit
in silent meditation
afraid to speak your wonders.
Do not fear
the echoes of questioining
or the sound of your own curiosity.
Throw your questions in to the valley
let them bounce around - saerching
for some semblance of an answer.
Do not hold back
or restrain your thoughts
let them fly.
Let them be chaotic -
let them fly unchecked.
Release your dreams.
Do not sit
in silent meditation
afraid of your own curiousity.
Instead
Release your wonders in to the world
who knows
perhaps your questions holds
someone elses answer.
