Day
i have so many things to write about
i just cant find the motivation
to collect my thoughts
Ayesha Oct 2017
I
Now
See
Of
Many
Nights
I
Awake
The day you came
You took the nights.
Awake in deep thought
Oh, what a restless night.
With a pounding heart of unpleased beats,
When one wish would be just to sleep.
A week has passed yet the brain still wired,
Now you lay there oh so tired.

You who goes by "Lonely"
Yes you, who reads these rhymes
Please pause here for a moment
I won't take much of your time

You see my friend, I'm lonely too
In the dark with paper and pen
So I'm writing you this poem
and signing it "Your Friend"

Though I'll prob'ly never see you
nor ever know your name
I do not need to see your face
nor know your cash and fame

I do not care what color you are
how short or tall or fat
I'm weary of all these parties and creeds
So, for a moment, forget all of that

Yes you, dear friend, forget with me
Inhale this moment serene
where we are not opinions or castes
Just two humans with two glowing screens

Be human with me, simple and pure
For a moment breathe deep and feel free
then should you have the time, and a halfway good rhyme
Perhaps write a poem for me.

Signed,
Your Friend
This one isn't great, but I don't really care. I would normally throw something like this away, but the afterimage of hope made me wonder if maybe it would strike a chord with someone somewhere.  I promise to post more polished verse in the future, but all the same, thank you for reading. -ES

Where do I even begin?
I think of you every single day,
a moment to spare as I look at you stare.
As I see your unspoken thoughts drift across the room,
how I wish I could listen to them.
If only I could read your mind and feel your pain.

As I watch you get so weak and thin,
Its so hard to utter those words above - as I type I feel a lump developing in the middle of my throat.

I'm so scared to speak the truth,
I don't really know what's going on...
All these thoughts going through my mind
Filled with all the UNKNOWN.

How will I ever know how you feel,
I wish I could read your mind.
I can't stop thinking of you!!!

All I need now is strength.

Actions speak louder than words but words cut deeper than actions...just like an arrow which leaves the bow or a bullet that leaves the gun cannot be summoned back...it is the same with words..so just be a little careful as to what you say..words are such that they can uplift a person and as well as shatter a person.

One night, while I waited for you
I sat in the midwest summer heat, hot and sticky
like juice from a sun-ripened peach-
a balcony in the city, a small temple amidst the headlights and occasional sweet, gasping breezes
the house was asleep, settling in its aged wooden bones
while I wrote you poetry on its back.

you never arrived, but I felt somehow better for it:
the warm and pulsing beauty of my silent night's watch.

If I were to write you a poem

I might appeal to your senses

Tastes and smells
That trigger comfort
And satiety

Images that make a man
Stand taller

There would have to be
A mountain
And some tall trees.

If I were to write you a poem

There would be a hand to hold
Shining eyes
And communication without words

One day soon
I will write it
