A Fire Burning

Here's another little poem.  I wrote this for my mother's funeral.

The Earth Turns

This was inspired by my mother's death, but it stands by itself.  Another little piece of poetry.

Endings

This is a very personal piece.  It details events from around this time two years ago.  I've toyed with the idea of writing a book about my first few years in Korea.  If I do that, then this, or something similar, will likely be the prologue.

Daydream Believer

Like the last work this was inspired by another author's work as well as the song that share's this post's title.  If you have anything against M/M relationship you shouldn't read this.  It is safe for anyone to read through, nothing more romantic then you would find in a Disney movie.  It's written in an unusual style for me, rather unreal.

My Sunshine

Like the previous poetry, this was inspired by another author's work, but has no characters or settings from the author mentioned.  It's also based on the song, "You are my Sunshine."  It's a sad little bit about a man that is mourning the loss of his lover.

Also, to any fellow Americans reading this: Happy early Independence Day!

Eternity Lasts Forever

A rather eerie poem and my first actual attempt at poetry since I had to do it in middle school.  I'm posting this one last since your first real work is always special.  Like the last one it was inspired by another author's work, but it mentions no characters or settings.

Down a Corridor

Another poem.  This one was inspired by another author's work, but since no characters or settings are used I have no trouble showing it here.
