Three New Poems: Blue, Fragile Success and 5 Fragments

 Three New Poems: Blue, Fragile Success and 5 Fragments

 My greatest of woes is never coming up with good titles. Frankly, Blue is not one of my best named poems. The poem is peachy. However, the title could be better. Fragile Success was much better. I wrote it when google forbade centry. Man, that was no fun at all. The Fragments are simply fragments. Incomplete poems that worked pretty well. In any case, all my wonderful poems deserves 5 stars rating.

Blue 

 by Teresita Blanco

When I am

Feeling down,

So blue, so green.

I seek solace

In those pale,

Sweet, innocent eyes.

So naïve,

So full of life.

Your will,

Has yet to be crushed,

Opaque, discarded.

I cannot stand

Such a sight.

It help me remember

My lost ember.

My back is bent,

My heart broken.

I cannot stand

Living like this anymore!

I am tired,

Oh, so tired.

No let me

Look on…

Once more,

Let me forget

That I am me,

For one final moment. 

Fragile Success

by Teresita Blanco

Fragile, success is so fragile.

Easily broken, taken!!

The old ember,

That once shone

Is all, but extinguished.

My futile efforts

Have once again,

Gone unrewarded.

What is left of your pride now?

Fragments 

by Teresita Blanco

1

And just like that

My pain is gone.

2

Why help others

When we ourselves

Are beyond saving?

We still wonder alone

In this valley of shadows.

3

I am tired

Of all these empty faces.

The mask I wear

Hides my cold bones.

I died  

Before I had a chance

Of being born.

4

Oh! God! I refuse

To add another grain

To the hourglass

Counting our end.

5

The wheel refuses to turn;

It goes on…

Tick, tock, Tick, Tock,

It lays a path

Toward my end.
