Poems from my Creative Writing class

A Father’s Gift

 

I shall give you the eyes of a child

To see the world in wonder

I shall give you the heart of a lamb

To be tender to those who wish you harm

I shall give you the drive of a machine

To seek out your desires in life without fail

But most importantly,

I shall give you my love as your father

And call you my son

Revolution

The King is dead, the king is dead

For with a chop they sliced his head

The Queen shall die, the queen shall die

And with a blow she ceased her cry

The children weep, the children weep

Their parents shall forever sleep

Rejoice to all, rejoice to all

The destitute resound their call

 

What was Lost

I looked for the stars while the sun shone bright,

And burned my eyes.

I reached for the serpent while his eyes were open,

And felt his fangs.

I pillaged a fortune for all to see,

And fell to chains.

I searched for one thing in this world,

And lost everything.

 

 

Gift

Open up your hands to accept

The light of the sun,

The whispers of the moon,

The song of the wind.

Open up your eyes to envision

 The colors of dreams,

 The fabric of serenity,

 The laughter of lions.

Open up your heart and surrender,

Your worries to the sky,

Your desires to the Earth,

And your loyalty to me.

 

Dirty Limerick #47

Recall what your mother has said,

When invited into someone’s bed,

If you lie with a harlot,

You’ll be seeing scarlet,

Cuz I will see to it you’re dead.

 

 

 

Breathe Life to New Lines

White on white, it’s blank I write,

Beneath the sky, their whispers dry,

To quell the thought of demon’s fought,

Inside the mind I left behind.

 

Nocturnal

Tremble in the dark, wait in anticipation,

With silver in hand, prepared for a plan,

Shy of incarceration.

 

Look past abandoned alleys, it’s time to wait your turn,

Caress their head with hands turned red,

Relieving what you yearn.

 

Belied Nature

He’ll pry at the lights,

While she’ll glower in spite,

At the innocuous attitude of outgoing nature.

And she’ll sit alone,

In her house, all alone,

Yet she’d slide ‘neath his covers,

To pay for her future.

The Stoning

Caress your heart,

Embrace the dawn,

Reach out your hands to the farthest stone

 

Retract, Release,

Let go by force,

Accept the given,

Give no remorse.
