Next Road (Poetry)
Looking in the mirrorWho’s this being I see?I’m pretty sureAt another timeI’d be sure it wasn’t meWhat have I done wrong?And where have I gone right? Where’s the next roadI should take?Life is a highway, they sayAnd I’m looking for my exitBut, ain’t it too earlyTo stop driving nowWhen I haven’t even started? Written 2-7-2005
Lost in Love (Poetry)
Keep this with youNever lose it for meCan’t lose this love Whatever might be When tragedy strikesOnce and againThis cannot endMy best friend Lost in loveWhirled aroundSpun downRound about Dizzy and disoriented Streets that don’t cross Yet go on endlesslyA concrete jungle maze It’s not the last trip By a long shotBut we’ve come upTo a dead stop If […]
Legacy (Poetry)
Enough money wasted on these scamsToo much pressure put on my diaphragmWhat is there going to be left of me?What will become of my legacy? I can’t help but stand by honestyHad enough of this life’s travestiesOnly concerned for future humanityWhat will become of our legacy? Try to rise above the general insanityIs there a […]
In Passing (Poetry)
In passing, I wonderWhat is lost to the worldWhat was known of youAnd what was notThe balance of what remainsWhat to make of your legacyWill remain an unanswered question To recall at onceAll those times spentThe impressions they leftThis was not the wholeOf you at all, of courseBut, the balance remainsA wonderful mystery A sort […]
Still Frames (Poetry)
Still frames in my mindCome to vibrant lifeBut the story unravelsAnd I lose focusMadness runs rampantThe comedy falls flatBut these still framesAre so beautiful and sweet A cartoon worldSo over the topTrying to paintThe pretty picturesBut where do I startSo many still framesI can’t choose fromAnd I can’t draw them Too complex and uniqueAre these […]
The Ship of Death (Poetry)
While poetry is typically not a writing form that I can simply create on demand, there have been several times that I’ve had poetry assignments that actually came out quite well. Perhaps it’s because by March 2002 I was writing poems rather consistently. “The Ship of Death” happens to share a name with a famous […]
Like the Fish and the Bird (Poetry)
“Like the Fish and the Bird” was written for an assignment during my Sophomore year of High School. But, it was good enough that I kept it for my poetry collection. The man works the hard, cold ground As the woman stares at the hard, cold stars Dimly lighting the vast field around There is […]
Moonlight (Poetry)
I stand besideIn the moonlight’s glazeA girl with ashen curlsAt first I could not sayWith what I was most amazedHow she could hold the worldIn such contempt each dayAs if I am not hereStanding beside herAn ignored man, I fearThere is something seriousWrong with the moon tonight ~ Amelia <3
Hold Onto Me (Poetry)
“Hold Onto Me” is a poem about someone who just can’t seem to let a beautiful girl out of their mind, heart, and soul, because they feel like nothing without her. Hold onto me If you let go I may fall And shatter But the brown-eyed goddess Says to me, “If I love you I […]
Tour Guide (Poetry)
“Tour Guide”, originally titled “Once I Was,” is a poem that served as the introduction of “Trixie Troubador and the Chorus of Forgotten Souls,” which was meant to be a poetry collection related to my own creative universe. It was written on April 28, 2017. Once I was a tour guideIn a ship on the […]
