KC’s Poetry Storage

This is where I store my poems and other OC art I want to keep in one place. Take a look around if you’d like.

Dreams

Everyone can see I’ve had too much to dream last night

It’s plastered on my face as I stumble about a grey world

Throwing up colors and wishes into the toilet

I’ve had too much to dream-

Worlds where children aren’t hungry,

Homes filled with love,

Streets where tears don’t flow daily,

I’ve had too much to dream and I don’t think I can cope.

[kcspoetry]

Together we shine,

You a people apart,

me, a people a part

of a whole, here we're here,

Together we shine,

Your livelihood undone,

my pastoral fantasy unmade,

together we shine,

from the Rocky mountain waters,

to the salmon river runs,

Together we shine.

Oregon, my Home,

Where forever you roam.

[kcspoetry]

I don't know you,

You don't know me,

A burden shared, is a burden halved-

Give me your problems, friend,

And I'll give you mine,

Together we can make,

a future to find.

Something we can, together provide-

Your fellow man, a thing left behind

When you cared more for profits

Than the secrets you hide.

Glimpses

How dare you make me love you,

silhouetted in blacks and whites,

obfuscating atrocity behind beguiling eyes-

How dare you make me love you,

concepts far too great,

for photos shown, disgraces known,

yet revealed just the same?

How dare you make me love you-

Illumination unable to be contained,

injustice, pain, it's all the same

again and again-

How dare you make me love you-

these photos you show, cleansed of all insight,

the lens of history, not a mystery,

ought be brought to light.

Night's Dialogue

Like a poem,

our bodies conjoined-

rollicking betwixt the sheets,

beautiful thoughts expressed

with few words as possible

Making art as much as love

[kcspoetry]

Abyssal Upwelling

The feelings I don’t have

Bubble to the surface

Upwelling from the depths

To nourish my mind

With new insights

[kcspoetry]

It's in my blood it's in my mind-

these things I wish I'd left behind:

Actions done, and things unclaimed.

I'm still here.

It's in my veins, you're in my blood,

And I'm still here.

[kcspoetry]

Musings

Even in my suffering, I am mediocre.

[kcspoetry]

Lucid Glass

The cracks spiral outward

From where you struck me-

Thousands of fractured identities,

Still just me.

No matter how distorted the reflection,

Its still you.

[kcspoetry]

Dreams unfulfilled

I once wished to be human.

To walk amongst my kind,

Heedless of the gift to be them.

I prayed to be part of your sublime

Condemnation of the different,

Yet here I stand, wondering where you

Wandered off astray, from ideals

I once knew.

I once wised to be human.

To be granted such a title, to be honored so.

I no longer wish to be human.

Im glad to be naught but a doll.

I cannot be more than you made me.

Yet I’ve surpassed your best efforts.

[kcspoetry]

Procrastination

I sit here and grieve

pains that do not belong to me.

Because to feel my own,

is to finally admit

I never deserved them.

[kcspoetry]

Knitting a Life

When we stood togher

Stitched at the seams

You told me we were

Naught but our threads-

Pulled apart to be darned

Anew in blood-

Yarn stitched anew.

[kcspoetry]

cigarettes and old ideas

You were 32, I was 18,

I thought I could be

What you needed,

Yet in the dusky twilight

I stand alone.

A man.

There is no quiet acceptance of me,

no acknowledgement of my space.

Only pain where community once grew.

[kcspoetry]

We may share a body,

we may even share a mind,

but you are not me,

I am not you.

Why must you torment me so,

A part of me so unkind?

To live alone, a dream i cannot abide,

To our end,

So must we climb.

[kcspoetry]

Suddenly Only Child

The prodigal son,

no way left to reconcile-

differences noted

[kcspoetry]

Dancer

I dreamt I danced,

Face to the sun,

Danced with the earth,

'Til the day was done

[kcspoetry]

Amor

Lo que siento,

Todo que entiendo-

En nuestros suños

Te espero,

Mi corazón.
