Sonnet

Sonnet for English Class

High above our heads dost thou swiftly rise.

Thou art a shimmer in the heavens blue,

But thy woe shows when tears rain from thy eyes.

We can’t fix thy problems, nor pay thy dues.

Far from grace did thee tumble to end here,

Stuck to spend this morrow edging the shade.

So thou climb’st up, and the light dost near.

The dark consumes all, but thou will not fade.

Thy foes pull thee down, but thou won’t concede,

Ne’r wilt thou follow them; bid them adieu.

Thou hast struggled, but won’t succumb to greed.

Thou journey’st hence, not so high as thee flew.

As night approaches, and dark surrounds thee,

Thy feet art grounded, but thy mind is free.

Notice the Shakespearian language ;D

my favorite ghost

His hands,

are your hands

If only in my mind

Their touch, 

if I forget,

if I close my eyes,

if I pretend,

it could be yours.

Almost.

I’d not forgotten you,

and I don’t hate you,

as you seem to think.

In fact, 

quite the opposite. 

I miss you, 

and I love you.

He’s not you.

But I was scared,

so I killed this bond,

before it could grow,

and hurt me.

Now you’re gone, 

a murmur of

a rainy Saturday

in June.

You are gone.

You are not here.

You are not mine.

I don’t pretend you are.

I must forget this.

It was my choice.

But the problem is,

I can’t.

I can’t forget the ghost,

that lingers on during the 

end of that song

or turn away from 

once inviting curbs.

You are my demon,

my haunt that won’t leave me.

But please,

don’t leave me.

You are my favorite 

ghost.

Dodging Raindrops

Dodging Raindrops

I remember the first time I saw you

Standing in the grey, bleak day

Scrunching your face up every time

A drop of water hit you

Trying to dodge the drops

Trying to do the impossible

I remember that smile

That little curve of red

That stood out from the shades of grey

I remember smiling back

More of a grin really

Teeth showing

Lifting my head to the sky

Fingers spread out

I remember now

We all have raindrops to dodge

Impossibilities to do

We just need to remember

That a simple smile

Can get us through
