Sweet Nothings: A Collection of Poems

Soft Lullabies

It started with the loneliness

the questions, constant thinking, the noise

it’s all too much

I just sometimes wish it would stop

I want the tender quiet kiss of Dawn

I want the soft caress of a violent typhoon

I want to know the names of each and every star

I want to know how old each and every tree is

I want to know the crickets story

I want to hear them chirp their understanding of this world and flood it into my ears

I want to hear everything and nothing at all

I may know nothing today but by tomorrow I shall know all the quiet whisperings of the rain.

Moon Child

I remember that day like it was yesterday 

I was so excited, to finally meet 

Our paths would finally intersect 

Our lives would be intertwined forever 

We would be forever 

I will always remember us tethered together 

My life force I would’ve traded in a heart beat 

Like the seasons swiftly changing from summer to winter

I was so excited to finally meet 

The time went by so quick and my eyes never left the clock till we’d finally meet

I’m sorry 

Maybe I could blame the world or the universe or God

I see you in the meadow overflowing with wild flowers I see you in the waves the way the water sings a beautiful melody I see you in the stars and the moon and hope and wonder... I know 

I’ll never get the chance to hold you feed you protect you nurture you..love you 

but I’m still counting down the days till we finally meet.

time come and gone

When I was small everything was so vibrant and colorful

The sun seemed to shine a thousand times brighter

 the grass greener

 life hopeful and full of possibilities 

and wonders 

New experiences waiting around every corner 

Summer days spent playing outside 

Waiting for the street lights to come on 

Living everyday to the best of our abilities 

Worrying about trivial things like what we were going to do the next day 

It’s almost as if I can still taste it 

Like it’s just a touch a breath away 

God do I miss it 

I miss being a kid 

I miss it all...

From the very dumb small things to the very big things 

But most of all I miss the time when my biggest worry in life was learning how to ride a bike.
