Beautiful Graveyard

From curses to verses and vice versa

If recurring themes are the result of recurring feelings, there’s something to say about the recurring themes found in my poetry.

That’s right, the lack of poetry about cats is unacceptable.

Oh, and here’s another poem about heartbreak.

Beautiful Graveyard

And I wrote poetry
for every tear
I never showed you.

My poetry—
my graveyard of tears.

And I wrote poetry
for every word
I never told you.

My poetry—
my graveyard of words.

And I wrote poetry
for every kiss
I never gave you.

My poetry—
my graveyard of kisses.

And I wrote poetry
to give my love
a place to live.

My poetry—
my edifice of love.

— Cae Rivas —

Now you know why I write poetry.

What about you?
What have you buried?
What have you built?
