Relationships Poems
Alone
by Ainsley Cahill
I think I like being alone
Well, not alone of course I have friends and family
But alone in a sense of romance
I am okay with that
Boys are incompetent
Too needy
Too narcissistic
And in the end you'll just get hurt
What's the point of dating?
To hurt?

Listening To The Shadows
by Jeffrey Pipes Guice
Shadows in the park...
Must be a sunny day...
Always wearing black...
Never having much to say...
Shadows never laugh...
They never, ever cry...
Sometimes they disappear...
If the suns not shining in the sky...

Lessons
by Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
I don’t wish to remain
Standing when the dancing ceases —
Just like I must exit a train
When it goes to pieces.
Questions I Ask Myself
by Jeffrey Pipes Guice
Will the sun always shine...
Even on a rainy day...
Will there always be sunlight...
So the kids come out to play...
Will the birds always sing...
So their music fills the air...
Will you always love me...
Will you always care...

trust
by Jane Doe
Pain, to me, has always felt like fists.
Quick, hard blows to my body,
leaving me sore and limping,
though stronger in the end.
But this,
this pain is different
like a poison
coursing through already raw capillaries
it burns me, from the inside all the way out,
consuming me with i different kind of toxicity I've not met before.

Mirrors
by Ken Ripley
There’s nothing like a mirror
To show you who you are.
To look outward from our face
Is to miss the color of our hair
And the features of our race.
Since we lack an ability to see,
Our minds are free to roam and be.
We are handsome and above the rest,
Nobly browed with piercing eyes,

I don't exist
by William Davis
I don't exist.
I mean, you can shake my hand,
you may hear my joints echo
through a hollow shell of man.
I don't exist.
But feel free to pick my brain,
I'll say the things I wished to hear
to help ease both our pain.

Breakup at 8:00pm - Friday September 13th, 2024
by Gilligan Snolepart
I have breakup at eight tonight
It's in my calendar. Look!
From eight to nine tonight: an appointment
With the title: "Breakup". That's what it says.
At eight tonight
Is when she will end it.
She didn't say as much but I already know
Why we're getting together earlier than usual
What we'll be doing and

Candy
by Ken Ripley
It is said that candy is dandy
But liquor is quicker
In appealing to the fairer sex.
But I prefer my women sober
As I try to draw attention
So when our conversation’s over
There is value in its retention.
