Welcome

Hello, and welcome to my daily poetry blog. The following poems are improvised based on my day, general reflections, or by just allowing my mind to cruise in neutral without a filter. I have been working on this for something around two years now and have amassed a lot of words. You can either go through them page by page, or check out the "Hall of Better Poems" option in the right column. Please feel free to comment on what you like or dislike, and also subscribe below if you like this sort of thing. Thanks!

(typically I will write down my ideas on paper throughout the day and I may not get in front of a computer to transfer it. So I then dump a few days worth of poems at once.)

birth

Something that I wanted always
I know now that it should not have been with you
the years that we passed have revealed the awful truth
it took too long for me to understand
but I grasp it now
hands clasping
clawing
it escapes as a whisper
shouted out from decades of repression
crashing into walls of unsuspecting glamor
never more than a pleading whimper
it is far too late to be acted upon
in these winter years of life
with this last futile wish
I escape into the forgotten heart of history
with every smell that graced this planet
I dissolve
