I hardly write poems, but it's not impossible... Lolz. Mostly, these were from when I was in university. I'd sit there in a cubicle during my break, be more than a little bored, and just feel some sort of inspiration hit me. I've pretty much "given up" on writing poetry, just because I find it harder than writing a story... XD

Pain of heart
Clenches the soul
In grips of loneliness,
Despair and confusion.

Darkness surrounds,
Blocking out the hope,
But light of compassion
And grace shine through the bleakness.

Wary and uncertain
Of the vivid picture
At hand, before, in front,
Ice of numbness blocks the path.

Ever willing and ever patient,
Fire of friendship melts
The boundaries and
Heals the wounds forgotten.

Radiant colors brought on by the warmth of light.
Murmurs of happiness, carried by the wind.
Clouds despair and the heavens express their distress.
Through time, love is forgotten and withdrawn.
Heat of life begins its retreat and
In response to pain, sighs of wariness are expressed.
Gradually overwhelming, sorrow cannot be contained.
Reluctantly released, tears of life begin to fall,
Reaching the plane of hurt, trampled and shred of joy...
Only to find death.

Scratches and scars,
Though faded beauty,
Taken from the whole,
Fades from the mind,
Slowly revealing,
Restored and preserved,
Leaving behind the core,
Has captivating charm.

The touching of two souls on equal footing,
Sharing of life and enjoyment abundant.
The longing of one heart, passion unbridled,
Fearing of pain, spurning of another.

Collapse of the vision, forgotten and abandoned,
Though love everlasting, helpless and forlorn.

Waiting in eternity, time at a stand still,
Patient with caution, receptive and willing.
Ignorance of light, dwelling within the darkness,
Bruised and broken, ever rejecting, refusing.

Collapse of the vision, forgotten and abandoned,
Though love everlasting, helpless and forlorn.

Approaching of ideas, ambivalently presented,
Ready for discussion, only to be freely absorbed.
Onslaught of confusion, pushed aside and ensuing disappointment,
Selfish with desire, stubbornly uncompromising.

Collapse of the vision, forgotten and abandoned,
Though love everlasting, helpless and forlorn...

In frenzied search for the treasure within,
At hand the blazon treasure, disbelief consuming,
Shining with the strength of light.
Rejecting of help, the other refused and discarded,
The onslaught of sorrow, ever pressing, ever hurting,
With a burden of one, never known, never shared.
Like the fragility of glass, the delicacy of love was found,
Only to be mishandled and mistreated by rough hands.
Fallen and broken, lying in pieces dashed upon the ground,
Deeply cut by lost love's sharp edge, the world left upside-down.
Left to find cynicism, depression, pity...
And the false sense of hope from swimming in a sea of despair.

Through the sands of time, hope begins to fade.
The memory of our past long ago,
Flashing through my mind. Demons crouching low...
Ready... Waiting... Steady aim at me made.
Errors of my youth, forgotten... unpaid...
Separated, her vision haunts me so.
She's gone to heaven, I left behind... no!
Without her, my soul I'm willing to trade.
Taken for granted, treated like a game,
Only when too late did I start to fight.
Lost in pain, my life no longer the same.
The bands of hurt around my heart squeeze tight.
Only her... Forgetting even my name.
Only her... She was my angel... My light...
