Poetry: A Poetic Tale

I wrote this narrative poem in 2005 in my creative writing class.

I will tell you my loving tale

About the day I saw 

The most incredibly hot male 

Standing in the raw

Naked, he was as a newborn 

Why and how I did ask

He asked me not to be a thorn

To enjoy as he basked

And I did enjoy this great view

But still I did ask

What is this visit due to?

And will it be the last?

All he did was show me his teeth

And replied “no its not” 

A lot of me you’ll bequeathed

It’s you I’ve always sought

And this was the ending of my tale

About the day I learned 

From that translucent and wise male

Love can pleasantly burn

Poetry: Emotional Nonsense

I wrote this poem in 2005 when I was drenched in self doubt over my poetry. Doesn’t every writer or poet go through this?

I try to write words

that smoothly flow

But they don’t come to me easy

Maybe I just suck at poetry

But I will keep trying and praying

I will become good at this thing

Before I painfully decide 

To give up this poetic life

And on paper try to make some sense

of my emotional nonsense

Poetry: A Poem for A Couple I Never Knew

I wrote this in 2006 inspired by my husband’s parents.

Love is written in the stars

Many of us speculate

Why and how these two met

She was always literature’s mate

he  was very well unread

But still these two started

A very fruitful fairytale

One without castles 

Or a tall, tall bed

But one that would blossom

Into a lovely romance 

that would bring me 

my special somebody

Poetry: Acknowledgement

I wrote this in 2006 thinking back on my time with Lucas.

Tired and contemplating life
me around the time I wrote this poem

A shadow of our friendship
is all there is left
After life gets in the way
of wanting something more
And when I see you around
A wave, a nod
An acknowledgement we once knew
Each other
Our conversations are now long gone
But we’re forever etched in each
other’s minds and dreams

Poetry: Frustrating

I wrote this in 2006 when me and my husband were in this monotonous routine of kids, work, and school. I felt lonely in our relationship and it was hard for me to express it to him.

Loyalty and loneliness are a bitch.

It’s frustrating
Living like this
Without desire or passion
The only thing that’s left for us
Is to leave from here
This everlasting ocean of loneliness
In which we are drowning
And separately swim to the shore
of happiness
Where we both belong

Poetry: Here We Go Again

Masking be like

I wrote this poem in late 2005 thinking back on how I felt about my second pregnancy when I found out. It wasn’t an ideal situation at all because I was still in college and my relationship with my husband was on the rocks.

Being Strong is exhausting
always

This can’t be
happening to me!
but rarely does it ever lie,
that second pink line
Just when I was on right track
Again I am burdened for lying on my back
What will I do?
Who will I turn to?
How do I tell them?
Once again I am their biggest disappointment
To just sit here and cry
is just a waste of precious time
I have no choice
I have to get away from this awful noise
This will become my personal hell
Because of another persuasive male
