• Circle #Poetry

  A circle, oh how profound,
  Perfectly pointless, spinning round and round.
  Pretending to progress, but going nowhere at all,
  Pandering to the masses, like a puppet on a call.

  Pleased with itself, it repeats and repeats,
  Picking up speed, like a train on its beats.
  Pretentious and predictable, it thinks it’s so smart,
  Puffing up its chest, playing a prideful part.

  Perpetually pointless, it goes on and on,
  Pretending to be unique, but it’s just a con.
  Painfully predictable, it circles again,
  Pretending to be new, but it’s just the same old game.

• Nights Are Getting Colder

  Nights are getting colder, oh what a thrill,
  Numbing my senses, like a bitter pill.
  Nagging and niggling, the chill won’t relent,
  Nursing my misery, with each breath spent.

  Nostalgic and naive, I long for the past,
  Nursing my wounds, like a love that won’t last.
  Nearing the end, the cold creeps in,
  Narrowing my vision, like a fool with no win.

  Numb and neglected, I shiver and shake,
  Nudging away comfort, with each step I take.
  Nearing the bottom, I cling to my pride,
  Nestled in my misery, with nowhere to hide.

• Love Serenades

  

  Love Serenades

  Love serenades, oh how romantic,
  Ridiculously overdone, like a cliche frantic.
  Rhapsodizing and ruminating, with no end in sight,
  Repeating the same words, with all their might.

  Ridiculous and repetitive, love songs abound,
  Rounding up the same old tune, with each beat and sound.
  Rattling on and on, like a broken record,
  Resisting the urge to scream, feeling so absurd.

  Rotten and redundant, love serenades in the air,
  Resounding in my ears, with no escape from their snare.
  Reeking of desperation, and a lack of creativity,
  Relying on the same old words, with no originality.

• Mouthful of Pennies

  

  Mouthful of Pennies

  He was a beggar on the street
  With nothing to his name
  He asked for coins from passersby
  But they ignored his claim

  He found a penny on the ground
  And put it in his mouth
  He thought it might bring him some luck
  Or help him head down south

  He kept on finding pennies
  And he kept on eating them
  He thought they might fill up his belly
  Or make him rich like them

  But soon he felt a sickness
  And he coughed up blood and rust
  He realized his mistake too late
  His mouth was full of dust

  He died alone and penniless
  With no one by his side
  He left behind a pile of coins
  That no one else would find

• I Lie Awake at Midnight

  

  I Lie Awake at Midnight

  I lie awake at midnight, oh how peaceful,
  Insomniac and irritated, like a burden so stressful.
  Incessantly tossing and turning, with no end in sight,
  Inevitably exhausted, with each passing night.

  Intrusive thoughts and ideas, they won’t let go,
  Incapacitating and insidious, like a never-ending flow.
  Internalizing and isolating, I’m lost in my mind,
  Intensely overwhelmed, like a never-ending bind.

  Insecure and indecisive, I question my fate,
  Intrinsically flawed, like a broken crate.
  Inept and insincere, I lie to myself,
  Incessantly struggling, like a book on a shelf.

• Sometimes I Wonder About Heart Surgeons

  

  Sometimes I Wonder About Heart Surgeons

  Sometimes I wonder about heart surgeons, oh how skilled,
  Sarcastically questioning their ability to be thrilled.
  Slicing and sewing, with precision and care,
  Sardonically doubting their romantic affairs.

  Saving lives and fixing hearts, they’re heroes in white,
  Skeptically wondering, do they have a love life so bright?
  Seductive and suave, or just all work and no play,
  Superficial or soulful, what do they have to say?

  Swiping left or swiping right, do they have time to date,
  Skeptical and sarcastic, I ponder their fate.
  Sullen and serious, or just too busy to find,
  Someone to love and cherish, and keep in their mind.

• My World Once Revolved Around You

  

  My World Once Revolved Around You

  My world once revolved around you,
  Round and round, like a ferris wheel hue.
  Revolting and ridiculous, I look back with glee,
  Realizing now, that I was too blind to see.

  Ridiculed and rejected, I was the fool,
  Raging and ranting, like a stubborn mule.
  Reeling and retching, I couldn’t let go,
  Ravaging my heart, like a relentless foe.

  Ripe with regret and remorse, I move on,
  Rising above, like the break of dawn.
  Rekindling my passions, and finding my way,
  Reclaiming my life, with each passing day.

• Love Doesn’t Always End in Heartbreak

  

  Love Doesn’t Always End in Heartbreak

  Love doesn’t always end in heartbreak, or so I’ve heard,
  It can lead to rainbows and unicorns, how absurd!
  Who needs caution or cynicism when love is involved?
  Just dive in headfirst, consequences be damned, problem solved!
  Ignore the naysayers and the skeptics, they’re just bitter,
  True love will conquer all, even if it’s just a glitter.
  The heartbreak and pain are just minor inconveniences,
  When compared to the bliss and ecstasy of true romances.
  So go ahead, take the plunge, and let love be your guide,
  After all, it’s not like anything could possibly go awry!

• List of Nothingness #Poetry

  A list of nothingness, oh how delightful and grand,
  A compilation of emptiness, a true wonderland.
  Each item so full of futility and meaninglessness,
  It’s almost as if they were crafted with pure aimlessness.
  Why bother with purpose or sense when you can have this?
  A list so void of value, it’s an absolute abyss.
  Oh, how ironic that nothingness can bring such joy,
  A true testament to the power of sarcasm, oh boy!

• Leave Everything Behind #Poetry

  

  Leave Everything Behind

  Leave everything behind, oh how freeing,
  Foolishly abandoning, with no sense of being.
  Fleeing from problems, like a coward in flight,
  Forsaking responsibility, with all their might.

  Foolish and frantic, they run from the truth,
  Faking a new life, like an elaborate sleuth.
  Faltering and floundering, they’ll soon regret,
  Forgetting what was lost, with no way to get.

  Feeling lost and alone, they’ll soon see,
  Forsaking everything, wasn’t the way to be.
  Fighting for what’s right, and facing the truth,
  Finding a new way, with all their youth.

• Ethics and Morality #Poetry

  

  Ethics and morality

  Ethics and morality, oh how divine,
  Endlessly debated, like a never-ending line.
  Elevated and exalted, they’re held up high,
  Easily ignored, with a cynical eye.

  Evasive and elusive, they’re hard to define,
  Eroding and erasing, like a fading outline.
  Endlessly discussed, but never quite clear,
  Eliciting eye rolls, with each passing year.

  Egomaniacal and egoistic, they’re often abused,
  Endlessly debated, but seldomly used.
  Empty and exaggerated, they’re often just talk,
  Eliciting laughter, like a stand-up’s walk.

• The Twinkling of Stars

  

  The Twinkling of Stars

  The twinkling of stars, oh how magical,
  Tediously repetitive, like a broken record’s signal.
  Twinkling and twinkling, with no end in sight,
  Tiresome and tedious, like a never-ending light.

  Tarnished and tired, they shine up above,
  Tantalizing and teasing, like an unrequited love.
  Trite and trivial, they’ve lost their charm,
  Trembling and twinkling, with no sense of alarm.

  Tiresome and trite, they’ll never change,
  Trivial and tedious, they’ll forever remain.
  Tarnished and tired, they’ll soon grow old,
  Trivial and trite, like a story that’s been told.

• No healers, All wounded #Poetry

  

  She sits and cries,
  She cries and waits,
  She waits for someone,
  Someone to help,
  But no one comes
  No one helps,
  So
  She waits as she cries
  She cries as she sits
  Next to a boy
  Who sits and cries.
