Brandon Owens Poems

The planets travel around the sun
And the moon around the earth
The stars shine bright in the sky
Because this is how it all works
...

There was a time I sat
Pondering my days
The sky was dry
No sight of rain
...

On the shelf are all my things
Boxes of memories and
The Bottle of Dreams
All you need is one sip
...

So many people searching for a place
They're all searching, looking for faith
Looking for that taste of acceptance
All to authenticate their existence
...

I remember it as a dream so odd
The way the Mountain rose up high
It touched the faces of the gods
The ones that lived in the sky
...

I happened upon a place covered in mist
Through the dark tall woods untended
Travel across the craggy broken earth
Follow the old path down from there
...

I despise your inadequacy
I didn't think it would be
But incompetency is easy
You have a nice compilation
...

I've never seen God's face
But I've seen murder and rape
I've never felt His hands
But my blood is in the sand
...

I remember everything you said
We were angry and upset
My mind raced and I yelled
My anger was not quelled
...

I saw you flutter by and you said to me
“Your hands are strong
But your touch is weak
I am moved by other things”
...

you have these rules

They have so many rules
I know they are for order
...

In envy, greed, and loneliness,
We post our poems to be read
We all want love and attention,
But we're just creating a mess
...

Her fathers built her up with so much care
Choosing exactly what she would wear
They had big things planned for her
Hoped she would be better
...

Somewhere under the veil
The Princess or a peasant
Believed in fairy tales
When it was more pleasant
...

When you look into darkness
You can't see what is Forever
When you look into light
You are blinded by Forever
...

The Sleepless Dreamer descends
A staircase from heaven's bind
The collection of their dreams
A revelation of the divine
...

Can you see them over there?
The whole world is talking
Arguing and making noise
Destroying the young boys
...

Stiff senses stimulate the surrounding secrets
Kick crazy culprits so we can keep it
Buy bread, break bread, just feed them
Lonely little left out forgotten lamb
...

I want to cross this distance
And put an end to this silence
An end to this deafening dream
That is continuously repeating
...

There's problem with my brain
It's melted and layin' on the floor
There's a problem with my heart
Its exploded and all the pieces are far apart
...

Brandon Owens Biography

I write poetry that is for the most part pretty deep and reflective, or so I would like to think. You can't just read one of my pieces, because if you do that you won't get the full effect. Some of the poems are extremely inter-related, but yet can stand alone. So if you're still reading this you want to know more. I, at one point in my life, was extremely religious, and although I still have many of the same ideals about God, I'm completely against the sheep mentality, which I think is promoted by established, organized religions. I'm completely in tune with free thinking, progressive thought, and understanding the universe around us. I believe in science, I am after all a nuclear operator(My day job, sometimes night job, sometimes...any time of the day job) . A lot of poetry is based on my own self-discovery, and pretty much sits up there with all the old themes we've dealt with before in life, but it's my take, and I pour my soul into it the best I can. Unfortunately I feel like some of the poems fall flat, but I'm not perfect. A lot has happened to me recently, so I have a lot of material to pull from. I care about the world in general, so there are a lot of poems directed at my opinion of the world, where it should go, where it has been, and why we're here. I use a lot of themes in my poems, one that might be extremely obvious is the use of Annie. Annie started out as a pun and grew into so much more, but to understand her you'll have to read the poems for yourself. On any of my poetry, feel free to ask questions, send me messages, or comment on the poem. I'll get back to you. That's something I enjoy immensely, a good conversation about poetry, ideals, concepts, symbols, and honestly just about anything. If you're wondering why I didn't cover more about myself in this bio, it's because all you really need to know about me is in the poetry, so read it! Oh, and thanks for those that do.)

The Best Poem Of Brandon Owens

Why I Love You

The planets travel around the sun
And the moon around the earth
The stars shine bright in the sky
Because this is how it all works
So how can you ask me why
When it is simply my nature

Would you ask my heart to stop
Or my lungs to quit breathing
You could try telling the ocean
To stop its heaving and hoing
I'm sure these will keep going
So I will continue on loving

You can tear apart a mountain
But the pieces are still there
I still remember it with care
Time is the record of change
Yet the laws of the universe
Will always stay the same

That is why I love you
And nothing you can do
Will ever change the truth
