Three Poems

These three poems were written at the same time. three totally different styles.

She.

She wanted to talk to me about God today.
It’s like that a lot
God
Loyalty
Goodwill
Morality
She wanted to talk to me about God.
It happens a lot
How tall
How great
How sweet
How grand
She wanted to talk to me.
It starts out happy
Moving
Approval
Acceptance
Disapproval
She wanted to talk.
It isn’t about anything
Narcissicism
Grandeur
Ego
Misery
She wanted.
It isn’t about her anymore.
It isn’t about us anymore.
It never was.



Vampires

Have you ever met a vampire?
Walking down the street
There is more than blood to be shared.
There is more than blood to be taken.

Have you ever met a vampire?
We live vicariously through the lives of others,
We live so others may live,
We die so others may live.

Have you ever met a vampire?
They disappear in mirrors,
With no souls, no reflection
Shallow and vapid creatures of death.

Have you ever met a vampire?
Through more than just skin and heat?
Our images are made in others’ images,
Which may not be images at all.

Have you ever met a vampire?
You are the depth and breadth of the humankind,
But are you what you seem?
Have you ever met a vampire?
