Silence

August 16, 2019Poetry, Relationshipslife, lovefound, poem, poet, Poetry, questionDrew B

Silence

Immortal this feeling

Of denial and time

Inebriated in hope

Drowned in crime

One wishes silence

Golden caked

In purity it wakes

Spews forth in noise

Words fall free

Outside their poise

Barriers fall and

Time stands still

Once this flood erupts

No returning back

Pristine removed

Silence corrupts

Downfall

August 7, 2019Poetry, Relationshipslife, poem, poet, Poetry, RelationshipsDrew B

Downfall

Inordinate schemes

These tales we tell

Lazy memes

We speak and sell

Lost on none

Fakery aside

We list our strengths

The truth to bide

Wishing well

Our false we sell

Some rise or stand

Come to play ball

Trusting their truth

On beck and call

I wish was me

On all and all

My truth as one

And not a downfall

Wildfire

August 6, 2019Poetry, Relationshipslovelost, poem, Poetry, poets, RelationshipsDrew B

Wildfire

I’ve picked clean

This starlit sky

Given to me before I die

In wanton pleasure

I burned these gifts

Treasures so pure

Thrown off cliffs

In arrogance admire

Alone and hungry

I stare oft no inspire

Once a forest

Now only a wildfire

Penned

Penned

She penned

Her verse

Eye opening

Slightly terse…

“This envelope sealed

Comforting

Congealed

I long for you to

Open

Melt this glue

Cleanse warm sudsy

Soap-in

Rip tear

Demolish these

Folds

Undo this fabric

Open and

Free me

Remove these

White washed

Clothes”

If I were?

July 29, 2019Poetry, Relationshipslovelost, poem, poet, Poetry, question, RelationshipsDrew B

If I were

If I were

A stray?

Would you

Take me in

Lost?

would you

Find me

Someone else?

Would you

Respond this way

Not me?

Would you

Take me back

To return?

Would I be allowed

To repair myself?

Would you

Be able to remember

What we were

Before?

Parched

July 25, 2019Poetry, Relationshipslovelost, poem, PoetryDrew B

Parched

Every

One

Of

My

Words

Fell

From

Bowed

Thoughts

And

Parched

Memories

Only

Watered

By

You

If There Was

July 19, 2019Poetry, Relationshipslovelost, poem, poet, Poetry, RelationshipsDrew B

If There Was

If there was

Enough time

If there was

Stronger belief

If there was

Twisted binds

We would stand

We could get over

This mountain

We would triumph

If there was

Enough love

We could

Meet together

And continue on

If only there was
