Poems from JDilli1995
My name is Jamie Dillingham, and I'm 19 years old. I am a graduate of A.C. Reynolds High School, I live in Asheville, North Carolina, and will be attending Warren Wilson College this fall. I search for words in everything, and hope that the ones I find will mean something to other people, and perhaps help them with their life. I am a Glossophile, a Logophile, Anthrophile, and practically a Pantophile. If you like something, let me know. I imagine what I would say to people if ever given the chance, I don't have to speak directly, and that is what's liberating about writing, it's therapeutic in that I can say whatever I feel. I wish more people heard me, but that's okay because still, I am heard. I tend to let the meanings of my work remain up to others. --Oh, and never judge a poem by its title.
Let's focus on tomorrow,
Wear away the sorrow
In the beginning
Aren't we all just this
It's not because we can't
But because we aren't...
Though the air flows from empty lung
And thoughts scatter in a frozen mind
The blood won't mix in my open heart.
Through constant voices...
I need a lot, but i need not to need.
A simple mind needs simple pleasures, but I need more.
I need a lot and need not thought just to...
I sing not of war
For none can anymore
In hopes that do end it
'Fore one could mend it
It breaks free, so does it spoil
And devours all...
Inside what is, is not
Within, is more than without
From without, one may look
But within, one may see
As I am who I was or will be....
