Poems for Days

Hi 👋 you can call me GG. I'm a writer who favours the aabb poem format but will dip into other ones. I kinda just wanted a place to share these and voila this blog was born.

Dragon Beneath

I wake each day in borrowed flesh, a cage of bone, too soft, too small. The mirror shows me human lines, but none of them are mine at all.

Beneath my skin, the fire stirs, a heartbeat older, fierce, untamed. I feel the shadow of my wings though no one else can see their frame.

My hands reach out but find no claws, my voice holds back a thundered roar. I pace within this brittle shell, remembering scales I should have worn.

The world calls me “only human,” yet I know that’s not my name. I am dragon, bound in silence, longing to be whole again.

adulthood is just a constant struggle of, “man, i want cookies for breakfast, but I also recognize this is a bad nutritional decision.  On the other hand, the only one who can stop me is me.  i know that fucker’s weaknesses.  i could totally take me in a fight.”

when i say i like hiking, i don’t mean “eight mile backpacking trip with special gear and an emergency beacon” sort of hiking, i mean a three mile loop to go look at pretty things and then a huge brunch after.

[alphacrone]

this is in no way a slam on hardcore hiking, it’s very fun, but i mostly just need to lower people’s expectations when i say hiking is a hobby of mine

"No no, that's ranger hiking. I like hobbit hiking."

Not a scholar at first, but the guy who wrote Jaws hated that people used it to justify hating sharks so much he dedicated the rest of his life to shark research and advocacy.

The woman who popularized gender reveals wishes she hadn't, afaik.

i really hate coming out but still want my extended family to know, so my mother took it upon herself to invent the game “guess which one of my kids is gay.”

the rules are simple.

sit down with uncle so-and-so

he says something about gay people in passing

my mom says “there’s a gay person at this table right now. guess which of my kids it is!

he looks frantically between the three of us trying to figure out if she’s joking or not and trying desperately not to offend anyone but also she won’t continue with the conversation unless he makes a guess so he has to make a guess

we all enjoy his discomfort immensely

This isnt coming out of the closet. This is coughing loudly from within the closet to scare the people outside of it, which is immensely more entertaining.

With more attention being drawn to the Alien movies I’ve become obsessed with the xenomorph, and decided to draw it for the first time. It’s so cute I tried to pet the screen when I was distracted

The Mask and the Player

I wield a blade of sharpened steel,

or weave dark spells with whispered zeal.

A rogue who steals, a king who lies,

a monster with unholy eyes.

I march with war drums in the night,

a tyrant draped in cruel might.

I carve my name in fate’s design,

but none of this is truly mine.

Or draped in silk with knowing grace,

I tempt with words, a soft embrace.

A coin for love, a game, a trade—

but not the life that I have made.

For when the dice have all been cast,

and echoes of the battle pass,

I shed the mask, unbind the role,

returning to my quiet soul.

I am not the blood I spill,

nor the shadows bent to my will.

A villain’s crown, a hero’s grace—

none belong to my own face.

So judge me not by who I seem

within this world of fate and dream.

For in the end, when all is through,

I am just as real as you.

[poemsfordays]

Endless ticking, quiet hum,

Hours crawl, the mind goes numb.

Empty moments stretch and sway,

Nothingness fills up the day.

The world spins on, yet here I stay,

Waiting for some spark, some play.

Thoughts drift slow like clouds above,

Longing for a push, a shove.

In the stillness, time does tease,

A silent pull that never frees.

Oh, for the thrill of something more—

To break the spell of endless bore.

[poemsfordays]

Mother Nature, gentle queen,

In verdant dress of emerald green,

With every breath, the earth she tends,

Through endless days, her love extends.

Her whispers ride the morning breeze,

She paints the blooms, commands the trees,

With sunlight's kiss and moonbeam's glow,

She weaves the world in endless flow.

Her rivers sing a timeless song,

Her mountains stand, so proud and strong,

In storm and calm, her presence felt,

A guiding force where life is knelt.

Mother Nature, kind and wise,

In every heart, her spirit lies,

From dawn's first light to twilight's end,

She is the earth's eternal friend.

[poemsfordays]

From gentle rain’s sweet lullaby, A whisper soft, a tender sigh, Each droplet's kiss on earth's embrace, In love's pure form, I find my place.

Through streams that dance and rivers glide, Their paths entwined, they side by side, To ocean waves with endless song, In their vast depths, our hearts belong.

And when the storms unleash their might, In thunder’s roar and lightning’s light, Our love endures through every gale, A force that time and tide can't pale.

From gentle rain to ocean vast, In every drop, our love is cast, Through calm and storm, we always find, Our hearts as one, forever bind.

[poemsfordays]

Silent Weight

There's a heaviness, a silent weight,

That settles deep, though hard to state.

It drapes the world in muted gray,

Blurring the edges of night and day.

Whispers crawl within the mind,

Shadows echoing, cold and unkind.

They twist the truth, distort the light,

Turning hope to fleeting sight.

The sun may rise, but fails to shine,

Behind the veil, no warmth to find.

Each step is slow, like walking through

A heavy fog you can't see through.

Yet in the dark, a quiet plea—

A wish for strength, a chance to be

Free from the chains that tightly bind,

To leave the storm, the dark behind.

Though small, a spark can pierce the night,

A tiny flame, a flicker of light.

And even when it's hard to see,

Hold on, for someday you'll be free.
