A Teacher's Poetic Ramblings




A Teacher's Poetic Ramblings
By Nomar Knight
 
Reflect on the journey
Emotions rattled by worry
Taken down by death
Crushed with loss
 
Worst new beginning EVER
I thought
But my people
Ignited by wonder
 
Fighting for my attention
Showing signs of promise
I'm teaching
Not really
 
Discover new talent
Angels sing
Genius their thing
Amazed they share
 
Yep sharing knowledge
Spreading happiness
Lashing out discipline
Teaching self-discipline
 
No not I
My students that's who
Taking flight with new wings
Soaring to new heights
 
So many changes coming
For all of us
Let fear not enter
Quench thirst for knowledge
 
Say goodbye to the old year
Bring in the new
Not teaching anymore
Promote learning instead
 
Looking forward to watching
These young eagles soar
Do things they couldn't before
Blessed man I am

Dead Inside





Dead Inside
By Nomar Knight

I smile through lying eyes
Afraid to show my secret
Love to hear you laugh
Though you can't see
How selfishness kills me

My heart stings
And every day time passes
Courage escapes
Leaving dust
Where love once stood

Tired of pretending
All is right
When we both know
Circumstance beat opportunity
Casting shadows of doubt

Even though all is lost
I hear you sleep
Finding a moments peace
In my aching arms
My soul shivers

Delight a faded memory
Isolation drowns hope
And I wonder
Is it too late
Am I dead inside
