Hello over there! I love writing poetry. I have a dream of becoming a writer! I hope that my poetry makes you feel like you're not in this world all alone.

You Should Be A Crime

You should be a crime

And I would love to watch you put your hands in the air and get caught

That’s not true, no,

I just want your time


I would like to watch you struggle to open locked doors

You’d fight and fail to maim the doorframe

No,

I just want to be yours


I hope you age like fine wine

Slow and always with such grace

Yes,

I just want you to stay, my silly valentine


I want to be with you while you shine

You’ll always shine; you’re the shooting star of my life

Yes,

I just want you to be mine

Tiramisu

I met a women named sue

She had ladyfingers that created the best of messy handwriting

And she drank coffee


She was guiding me

And she was sometimes Tyranny sue

But I loved that she knew, what she was doing


When she mentioned that she was leaving

She saw into my eyes and saw the tear in me

Sue…oh Sue


After she was gone

She caused a hole,

A tear in me Sue

Working The Night Shift

People think I’m lazy

But I’m awake for the same amount of time they are

I am just awake and asleep at a different time


They see me sleeping all day

But that’s because I’m awake all night

They say the early bird gets the worm


But what if I happen to consider myself the worm?

Not only that but…

The second mouse gets the cheese


I’m nocturnal

Either that or I was meant for the other side of the planet

But I do like seeing the stars


Street lights and few cars

It’s nice to be unbothered

By anyone really


Daytime people

Won’t understand the mood

Of Ziggy Stardust or the Dark Side of the Moon


Only Spacetime Oddities

Know about the secret societies

That only meet in the night,


Only to mess with the forces

Of the good, the bad, and the gravity

Along with pronking springboks  

Light Flickering

Light flickering

Reminds me of where I live

It’s annoying

But that’s just how it is


It makes it feel like more of a horror movie

And I know that there are monsters under the bed

I consider it camping

Yet it’s just life


It will carry on even if I can’t see the stars,

Swirling in time

Above my head,

A universe that I cannot touch


My mind

Is a strobe light

And I feel a bit dizzy

It’s a bit too much to take in, again


My heart is light with carbon dioxide

The candle a flickerin within

And I’m scared that

I can smell the smoke of the future

One Summer Night

One summer night

With my brother

Blowing up balloons and letting them fly


Mom came outside

Time to go inside

Time to take a bath

Time to go to bed

No thanks


She says that I haven’t taken a bath in a few days

She also says I have dirt all over my legs,

Like it’s a bad thing

She asks me if I like being dirty


I respond with a yes

I like the feeling of the cracked dry dirt on my legs

Chipping off with time


I ended up taking a bath

And I felt like I had lost some of myself

I was too clean to be me

I guess, I’ll have to start again tomorrow
