Gray Eyes Poetry: Untold Love

Untold Love

The meat of our romance

is an untold love affair.

My broken heart

—speared and deflated—

is the relevant storyline.

And the fallen fruit of my confidence?

a testament to when relationships grow…

awkward.

Introduction

Publishing my poetry on a blog is really a last ditch effort to put it out there. I've been writing short stories and poetry since I learned how to write, and am well aware that poetry is about as lucrative as homelessness. Rather than search endlessly for a literary agent who wants to sell my poetry, I'm here, putting it in a public place.

I estimate my total number of poems to be somewhere over one thousand, however I only have about thirty that are "finished". I'm not big on revision, which has always been a problem with my writing. As a result, it is often gritty and rough around the edges...kind of like me.

My work is basically image-based, focusing on the beautiful imagery of every day surroundings and objects. I find that the simplest of objects are often connected to a network of complicated emotions. Of course, I also have a large number of fairly typical love poems, nearly all of which illustrate the plight of the girl not chosen.

While I have taken poetry writing classes and have studied poetry for years, I do not claim to be good. However, I don't make any excuses for what I write. It is my passion, my art, and in essence, it is the very definition of me. I welcome your comments and critiques.
