Out Now: How To Write Evocative Poetry
Candle
I’d like to be able to claim
That none can hold a candle
To your brilliance
But the truth is
They are but mere candles
Before you
Their light
Only blinding
Against darkness
Only blinding
In your absence

The Mountain
If I knew
How hard
I’d have to work
In order
To not have to
Work so hard
I’d have probably
Settled for a day job
Only now
Do I realize
Just how tall
The mountain
Truly is
And how strong
I’ll have to be
To climb it
Nonetheless
I am grateful
For my ignorance
For it made me
Strong enough
To believe
That I can become strong enough
To make it
To the top
