Poems

Here are two poems that I had to write for a class - but I really like them so I'm going to post them. :)

Lord of Trance Dance

His arms are flailing about,

In an organized way,

He unleashes his dance moves,

In the bright light of day.

Illuminating the dim,

The crowd gathers around,

Exciting each body,

Moving to pure sound.

Each person takes off,

To each his own,

A brilliant tapestry,

Of dancing is sewn.

The music stops,

They again become sane,

Each goes their separate ways,

Returning to the mundane.

Graffitti

Trapped in a jail,

Of bodies and faces,

Lost in a maze,

Of familiar places.

Shadowy specter,

Over a pond smooth as glass,

Interfere the calm water,

Peace never lasts.

Disregard being liberal,

Forget being yourself,

The only way you can make it,

Is to be like everyone else.

Life is so short,

A journey to embark,

A cement wall with graffiti,

Just be sure to make your mark.
