Poetic Non-Poems :P

Apr 02, 2009 22:00

So I had to write some poems in Creative Writing, and I don't know, I'm kind of attached to them, and kind of like, "whatever", but I wanted to put them on livejournal just because I felt like it. >.< I'm kind of whimsical today!

It's a poem written with haikus for stanzas. For some reason, I was thinking about SuJu pairings while typing this, and at the end, I was like, "I'm such a cliche moron, this has nothing to do with anything, what a horrible end," and I just sat at the computer looking like this, =_="

There's an ocean here,
It's too calm, too loud, too you.
Stop, I can't stand it.

It's your beating heart,
Much too loud to hear over,
Too silent to find.

It echos, your heart,
The beats too far, too near, gone.
Are you on the beach?

Your memory haunts,
It clashes, tears me apart,
The wreckage is mine.

I am at the beach.
I wait for you, live for you,
The ocean rumbles.

You are off to sea,
No longer in my ocean,
Have you really left?

My thoughts wander now,
I am too cold to cry here,
I will stay waiting.

The ocean pulses.
You are now the horizon.
So close, so far, gone.

You are my constant.
My soul, my heart, my love, you.
But you have left, bye.

The ocean recedes,
My heartbeat stills, wavers, stops.
The dark horizon.

Here's another one, the actual assignment that I was supposed to do. It's a letter in a poem format. We're suppose to write a letter to someone close to us, telling them whatever, but I already tell my closet people whatever I want to, so I decided I should write one to my brother. >.<

I cannot tell you what could have been,
What I would have liked to be,
I just can't tell you,
Because no one knows.

Maybe having you here with me,
Would change me,
Change you,
Perhaps I wouldn't be the same person anymore,
Perhaps.

I cannot tell you what I would have wanted,
Because no one knows what's in store for them.

Sometimes, I am filled with the question,
You or her,
And never do I have an answer,
Never.
If I could take you back,
By taking her away,
I wouldn't agree.
Not ever.
Never.
I would take myself away,
To give you life.

It's really sad,
Sometimes,
My memories of you are vague.
Brother,
If you were alive, who would you be?

As the oldest I am obliged to baby you,
Take care of you, as I take care of her.
Even now, when there is no way to do so,
I have your memory of your smiling face.
I think, I have a sister now,
One without the 'what ifs',
And I think, 'I'll just love her enough for you both,'
Maybe then, that love will reach you too.

poem, random, brother
