Art Post: Poetry

I've been going through a lot this past semester.... ah- yes, if there has been anything positive coming out of the seemingly endless bumps on the road of my life lately, it has been the inspiration for me to write something on a personal level since high school. So, here they are in the form of poetry.... Enjoy!


First Love

Everything feels just so right
As I fall asleep at night
With you in my oblivious dreams
My world is franticly spinning, it seems
What's this vulnerable feeling I feel?
A feeling I never thought was so real
A feeling I've longed for all eternity
One so filled with everlasting serenity
Like the enchanting bright full moon
That scintillates upon us way too soon
Never wanting it to go away
Only wanting that heartfelt moment to stay
Why does it feel like nothing's real?
Like the strife of life is not hard to deal
Maybe because of your glistening sweet smile
It makes my days a little more worthwhile
Maybe because of the sincerity in your eyes
It is there where I see pure truth- no lies
Maybe because of your strong arms so caring
It is there where I find my sure sanctuary
Everything feels just so right
As I fall asleep at night
Because I dream of a one love that's true
A cherishing love I know I've found in you

Bittersweet

Alone and on my own again
My world seems like chaos- I just want to amend
I gave it my all, I gave all I had
At first it was good, but then it went bad
Back then it was different, we were young and careless
And time took its' course; it was time to progress
I had to rendezvous with my heart and soul
They said that I needed to focus on me to be whole
I want to be patient, but I've been for too long
How is it that we kept loving each other so wrong?
"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind"
You brought out the worst in me; I was out of my mind
I brought out the worst in you; a vicious cycle it was
Why wreak harm to each other- for what?! Just because?!
On the other hand, how did we love each other so right?
There were indeed many times when it was pure delight
We gave each other the stars; we knew our love was true
And I wouldn't change anything for all that we do
Yes, time took its' course; it is time to progress
Will you meet me halfway- no more or less?
You'll always have that special place in my heart
It's time for a new beginning, the next chapter, a fresh start
Amongst all this confusion… the hated love and the loving hate
The untold destiny and the unknown fate
Through the cumbersome coldness and the hectic heat…
Well, I guess in the end, it is all bittersweet.

Dreams

Hold on to your dreams
Don't ever let them go
For if you do, how would you ever know?

Only one life to live
Infinite chances to grow
The possibilities are endless
In time you will know
That passion, determination, and will
Is all the drive you need
On embracing your dreams to ideally succeed
Should failure arise, don't dare give in- try again
At least you can say you endeavored 'til the end

Hold on to your dreams
Don't ever let them go
For if you do, how would you ever know?
