Calico

Pieces of me now come together
A harmonious being of patchwork
Blending the fibers of my soul
With a rainbow of emotions to sort

My lips have tasted the sweeter side
And these eyes have seen the darkness
Experiencing all the many alluring facets
Of life's ever evolving path to happiness

Passionately driven to define perfection
I find fault in every strength that I possess
Overwhelmed by my darkest of fears but
Painfully aware of my innermost weakness

Calico images unveiled from deep within
You see a mask but there's more to me
Hiding behind the pieces put together
I show you only what you need to see

A poem I wrote for my "Behind the Mask" class.

Passion's Polarity

Image
The love I once felt is changed forever Destroyed by words of anger and pain Like fire and ice, we were passion's polarity Calmed into a lull by the night's gentle rain Bittersweet are my memories of you Leaving scattered footprints in my mind Our time together was beyond compare Yet somehow... it was angry words we left behind How did we get here, you and I? At what point did we cross the line? Coming together was inevitable for us Why couldn't we stop the crash in time? Despite everything, you'll not be forgotten I miss your smile, your voice, your sensual touch I miss gazing longingly into your gentle eyes Perhaps it matters not but I'll miss you so much
