Dalliances

Hey I thought just for the sake of doing something I would post some "poems" I have written lately. I've been in a mood for some unknowable reason to attempt to write something like a poem. I'm not at all sure how they have turned out. I know little to nothing about poetry. I don't even particularly enjoy poetry to be totally honest. My structure will needless to say not be too wonderful. I don't go in for rhyming schemes. I have some sort of a scheme going on, but what is, no one can really say. Or it'll turn out to be a scheme that's used too often and I'll look so silly. Anyway, here they are. If you read them, thanks! If you don't, you're dead to me and I hate you! But seriously, enjoy or ridicule! It's all the same, more or less.

 

We lie in an empty embrace

It’s over now

But it’s not

But it is

No

Yes

No

Yes

Over

Resumed

I’m tired

What are you

Tired of being tired

Yes makes sense

The longing

The embracing is dead

What’s the point

Let us drift off

Over the many seas

The daylight comes

And…

Nothing

Nighttime arrives

And…

Nothing

It’s all a nothing

Nothing

Nothing

But we persist

And we resume

And we won’t give up

As we’re suffocating

And slipping

And falling

And dying

Every day

Each and every

Day

And

Night

And

Hour

And

Minute

All the time

Never good

Never healthy

But what else is there

We remain suspended

By invisible forces

Unknowable

Unfathomable

And now we know nothing but words

Phrases

Clichés

Coulda, shoulda, woulda

But didn’t

We’re together

But alone

The intricacies are endless

And vast-less

And neither of us

Is alive

Not really

But we are

But we aren’t

And the demons seep in

The tear begins to swell

It begins to drop

Then stops

Then starts

Don’t want to put in all the effort

The drama

The dreaded confrontation

So we lie in an embrace

As we lie

And lie

And conceal

And hope for alternative plans

And sigh at the thought

The mere thought

Of..

Reconciliation

Of

True love

Just words

Just concepts

Just twisted logic

Hopeless longing

Then despair descends

And reigns

And clutches us

And won’t let go

And we let it win

As always

As always

We lie in an embrace

And we die

But not really

But so close

But not

And yes

And no

And….

Let it be

I look up to the sky

Many bad poems begin that way

Is anything going to happen

It‘s doubtful

But you‘re reading

Are you interested

You ought to be

But chances are you‘re not

Writing

Writing

Thinking

Hoping

Not dying

Not yet

Soon, maybe

Or not soon

Hard to say

Impossible

I pray for it

On high

I wish

And I dream

And I hope

And I scream

And I bang my head against walls

No one hears the damn call

Bleeding

Yet unrepentant

What did I expect

No happy endings

Maybe some day

Maybe

But chances are

Not

Why so serious

Why can’t we laugh

You’re always morose

I’m tired of it

I walk in the door

You’re huffing and puffing

I just want to relax

I don’t want to worry

And be bored

Don’t you love me enough

To not be angry for a little while

We used to have fun

Not anymore

You’re always yelling

Or sulking

Or worse

Can’t you smile

Apparently you can’t

You refuse

Don’t you remember the good times

The time…

You won’t listen

You won’t care

I’m so tired of it

　

　

I choose not to follow the rules

I decide to go my own way

You don’t like it

Get out of my way

I’ll bang this drum as slowly as I wish

And you can’t order me otherwise

This doesn’t need to make much sense

I’m not here to impress you

I’m sure you’re grand

But to me you’re just another guy

Another girl

Another person

And what is that?

Not much

Not little

Just something

Just someone

I wish you the best

But I’ll do what I wish

As usual

Forever

Perhaps not forever

But for a while

Or am I blowing smoke

Not important

Or is it

Doesn’t matter

But maybe it does

Alright we’re at an end

 

 

I'm sure I have more. But that's all I care to post right now. will i post more another time? We'll see or won't. Really doesn't matter.
