Poem: The Sound Of Sleeplessness

Poem: The Sound of Sleeplessness

The whirring of a ceiling fan

Revolving at full speed

Is the sound of sleeplessness

That plays in place of dreams.

Poem: Moving Mountains

You said you’d move mountains for me

Because you thought it was what I wanted to hear –

But I didn’t need you to fix my problems,

As you were so keen to try to do;

You were becoming a mountain blocking my path,

And all I wanted was for you to move.

Poem: Siren Sound

The siren sound of a sleepless night

Seems to have too much appeal

For my too-tired mind to resist

Diving in once again.

Poem: Globe

The little globe on my desk

Spins tales for me of the city where we met –

And where you said you loved me

For the first time with your easy summer smile –

But as I twirl it with my finger, so smoothly,

Like you had me wrapped around yours,

I feel a sort of relief in knowing

That I don't wonder where you are

And what you’re doing anymore.

Poem: Leaving

I thought of you again last night -

Amid the darkness at the time,

And with my half-awake mind -

Because you left a note

Where you knew I’d see it,

And in time, I finally did.

I’m leaving it there, and

I’ll pretend not to have read it;

I don’t need you to haunt me

So long after we ended.

I don’t want to think of you

With guilt at what I left behind.

We both knew that things

Between us weren’t right;

Don’t give me so much grief

For leaving you behind.

Poem: About Moving On

Romantic love, lately,

Has brought thoughts

Of stories and fiction

To my mind; I feel a

New kind of love for

Myself as I realize that

You aren’t the first

Person who comes

To mind anymore.
