Carpe Diem

Carpe Diem

Just everyday normal, humdrum things

Coming and going about the day

Recalling faces and songs that we sing

Moving about and going away

Because people do that in their everyday lives

They pack up and move at the drop of a hat

What everyone longs for, everyone strives

Not to fall down, land flat on their back

For goals are important, as far as they go

To chart your own path and guide your own way

But not achievable in one's own life, so

Take time out to seize the day!

Every Day

There’s beauty in decay

There’s life in death

For by fighting for our lives

We fight for every breath

We cling to the everyday

We want for so much more

When in reality

We’re looking for the next score

Looking for the easy answers

When we need to find our hearts

There’s never easy answers

We all need brand new starts

Obession vs Adoration

Obsession

I can’t tell why I like them

It’s an indescribable need

It’s a burning fire

I fixate on little details

I can tell you everything about them

I don’t want anyone else near them

I know every appearance

I see their latest movie but I don’t remember the plot

I threaten others if they violate their space

But if someone else comes close better to make them feel insecure

Because I feel insecure myself

But they’re insecure right…

I swear they’re winking right at me…

I think I’ll go see them

It’s not like I don’t know where they are…         

Adoration

I love the things you do  

You make me better everyday

Learning more about the best you are,

Helps me discover 

More about the person I want to be

Exploring new avenues of learning,

Expanding my mind

By the breadth of you

No longer needing to hide

The light in you brings out the light in me

I read an article today about celebrity obsession and thought I would do a side by side comparision poem.  The difference between the two, in my mind, one is about how “I feel”, the other is about how the celebrity influences the writer.  Just my little contribution to the debate about Celebrities and obsession.

Beloved/Summons (A Conversation)

I long to see the sunshine.

              You see it every day.

I miss the sea and sand.

In your eyes, their colors lay.

I want to see my beloved,

I miss you just as much!

To walk with her hand and hand.

I miss your very touch!

My beloved, I summon you.

I hear and answer the call.

I call you home to stay.

Why would I wish to be away?

And once you have entered my view,

You are my world, my all!

I promise to be forever with you.

I have no reason to stray.
