A few poems...
 
A few poems I've written in the past year or two. I'm not much of a poet, but I try. Feel free to critique. :)

The trees,
glowing as the leaves filter the sunlight,
and clouds that share the sky with the blue,
never taking over.
Grass so green that I'm afraid to step on it;
I don't want my boots to ruin the colour.
Weeds grow inside an old tin can,
as if they don't mind the litter.
(Though that doesn't mean it should be there.)
Forgiving, accepting,
Nature just takes whatever we give it
good or bad.
Wind winding through the pines, being
careful not to wake them.
A distant bird sings softly:
a soundtrack to the scenery.
And as the morning begins,
I'm grateful to be here and see it all
unfold again.

---------------


you wander the streets alone, holding hands with his ghost.
staring up at the street lamps covered in blood, you wonder where you went wrong.
sirens off the horizon threaten the peace;
is it over yet?
stretchers carry empty bodies.
the souls have already moved on. you can see them smiling at you from the tops of the buildings and you scream in fear at the thought that he might never return to you.
slam a door in your face, maybe you'll remember what it's like to lie like this.
it isn't easy to create a life for yourself.
it's easier to crash your car into a tree and watch the flames engulf the dried leaves that never even had a chance to fall.

---------------------

and had she known,
she would have appreciated
neighbours.
and if he could,
he'd be there without
a word.
and if they're not together,
it tears them apart...
