Some Poetry, My Poetry

As a teenager I used to enjoy writing poetry.  I dabbled with some stories but never stuck to it.  A few years ago I jotted down a few things again.  It was a good feeling to put those emotions on a page.  Going back through some things I found a couple.  Time to share!

Summary

If I could erase myself

From the written page,

If I could live my life,

But never age,

If I could find my freedom,

From inside this cage….

What once was love

Is now lost forever.

What once was always,

Has become never.

What once was healthy,

Is now my fever….

To have the whole world,

And still have nothing.

To finally live my dream,

Only to die in my wailing.

To hold her in my hands,

And to lose everything….

My Little Girl

Curly brown hair

Cascading down in ringlets

Just below her perfect little ears.

Sweet chocolate eyes

Looking up to me with love

Innocence shining though.

Ten little fingers

Ten cute little toes

Held high in the air for me to tickle.

She smiles at me

Knowing she is my all

Everything I ever wanted.

Even though she is gone

My love for her endures

Always she will be my little girl.
