Simone in Poetry & Free Verse

What love can do

It’s shocking what love can do,

It can make you smile, or turn you black and blue.

They say you take your chances with love,

But love takes its chances with you.

How will you love the person you pursue?

Don’t blame love if it doesn’t work,

Because love will be there, love mostly has perks.

After you leave

I feel so empty after you leave.

Not immediate, but slowly-

Creeping into my head at sunset,

I am alone.

Alone with my thoughts- my memories of us.

Hurting, because I’m scared they’ll fade away.

Hurting, hoping you’re the one I’ll never lose.

Our future is uncertain, but I want to spend it with you.

Natural clock

The clock Tik-

Toks-

Every day at all times

The moment you realize,

You are limited.

The moment you are afraid for what is coming,

And that moment passes.

You realize again when you’re alone.

In your dark bedroom, as you hear the beat of your heart-

The natural clock.

That moment you realize, it’s okay to be afraid.

Never matching

As the rain breaks through in the springtime,

The birds cramped in their nests in the meantime.

The ring of this rain, your ears won’t catch again.

It may seem the same, but your song has been slain.

Do you think you’d regain the original strain,

If you recorded the clang of the continuous rain?

All for you

Everything you do, it’s all for you

To go to heaven

To reach YOUR ending

It’s all for you

Humanity is selfish at nature

And you’ve been told selfishness is evil

But selfish is true

Time

It seems as time passes as we stand still,

But it’s only us that pass.

We say living is a process of death,

But time is the true grim reaper-

staying the same as everything changes.

We are living blissfully, and ignorantly-

Not understanding who the true dominator is...

Time.

Tune in

You can only hear the clock ticking when you’re tuned in,

The only time you hear the rain is when you’re silent.

The last time you saw the sun it was barely shining.

The first time I saw you smile was when I was frowning.

Don’t say you’ll go to heaven.....when I’m the one you’re drowning.

Honeybee or a hornets nest

There are always differences.

There is always a spectrum.

But if you think about it,

There are only two sides.

The beginning.

And the end .

Like a grapefruit.

Is it sweet or is it sour?

Hospital

Any movement disturbs here.

Smiles fade.

We also do.

We live.

And then it stops.

Acclimate

No more screams, no more fear.

You are now numb to the thought,

That the end is near.
