Hello everyone! As the semester winds down, I thought I could be nice to share some poems I’ve written over the last few weeks with you all. I wrote them for a specific person in mind, but please, interpret them how you will at your heart’s content. I feel like I’ve grown a ton over the last semester, and I hope to pursue this kind of non-STEM activity more over the next x-number of years (no hints!). Please don’t judge them too harshly, and I encourage you all to share a little love before the semester ends. Love you guys <3.
Sonnet 5:
Frosted gaze or sin-ged remark
A warm embrace never knew winter’s frost
Crimson leaves atop a glowing bark
Love enflamed lifts love lost
Cold respite or scorch-ed bond
A firefly always finds its light
Roots entwine to blossom fond
Petals bloom for fruit’s fertile flight
Orange dawn or amber rose
A painter’s brush never knew such bliss
Scarlet love in river flows
Winter’s chill mellowed with Summer’s kiss
Seasons struggle with time apart
Yet equinox begins within our heart
Sonnet 2:
I was never much of a writer,
Too weak to lift pen’s ink
I was never much of a sculptor
Too brain-scattered to think
I was never much of a painter,
Shades never seemed to lighten
I was never much of a singer,
Waves could never match Siren’s
I was never much of a poet,
But my heart compelled me so
She said I could be a poet
But how could she ever know
I was never much of a lover
But that doesn’t seem to bother her
Sonnet 1:
I know your name
Better than my own
Endlessly articulate it in my mind
Like a schoolboy’s detention
But your name is all I know
And yet it is my own
Cork it in a bottle
Fawn over its waves
If only you’ll let me know more
So I can be yours
Your name is the only
I wish to know
I’m never gonna know you now
But I’m gonna love you anyhow
