Recent Poems

Here you'll find my more recent poems... I don't rhyme much anymore... I just let it flow. :o) I'm trying to follow the rule "Less is More" in my poems. E-mail me and let me know which kind of poetry you like better... my old ones with the rhymes and rhythm, or these:

Thank You (2000)

You said you'll always be there
You left.
You said you cared
You broke my heart.
You said you'll dry my tears
You made them flow.
You pierced my soul.
You made me feel unwanted.
You brought me anguish.
But for the time our love lasted
I thank you.

Masquerade (2000)

I have a gold mask
Isn't it beautiful?
Confident
Shining
Everyone loves it.
No, no!
Don't take it off!
Don't unmask me!
Please
Just look at the mask
The beautiful gold mask
Don't mind the person behind it
You don't want to know that person
Don't expose me
Strip me of my disguise
I need the mask.
Everyone does.

Darkness (2000)

Life in darkness
Nothingness everywhere
Loneliness
Bitterness.
A light!
Coming nearer
Oh, the warmth!
Overwhelming.
Life in the light
Strange
So many people
Hopes
Dreams
Things unkown to me
What is all this?
What should be done?
Should be felt?
Love?
What is love?
Confused
People
So many people
Lost
Where is the dark?
My home?
My world?
Take me back.
