K. Jared Hosein Poems

I've waited for a fish that did not bite
And for a little wind that couldn't fly my kite.
I've waited for mail that never arrived
And for fruit of a crop that never thrived.
...

It had been a long passing away.
A death that crackles the hardest stone,
He sank into the bed of this bay,
A death silent and alone.
...

A kiss down by the riverside,
When the waterspouts
Comes to life
And across the evergreen glide.
...

Near this quieting shore,
You left me sore,
Sitting in this restless tomb,
Now I lie on the floor,
...

My darling,
Did you ever wake up in the morning
To find the sun's eyes right on you,
So you could bury your face
...

Whether it be a sun-sparkle shine
Or a blizzard bleak grey,
Upon my frozen roses
Springs this Christmas Day,
...

When I hear you speak,
The world slows to a halt
Asleep from a sweet lullaby.
When you touch me,
...

The sea springs open
In a waterspout flurry,
The whale is awake.
...

It is a shower of hot spectral rain outside
That is going to last
The whole night through
And it is a celestial star party
...

The highway is now dark
For a bandit has stolen the argon coins
From the glass of its lamp poles.
The concrete isthmus is now paved
...

Behind the meridian moon
There shoots a star no one can see
That sings a song no one can tune
Except for the one unheard bird
...

After your goodbye,
I am bare,
Naked,
Exposed to the air,
...

The Best Poem Of K. Jared Hosein

(melancholy) The Wait Is So, So Long

I've waited for a fish that did not bite
And for a little wind that couldn't fly my kite.
I've waited for mail that never arrived
And for fruit of a crop that never thrived.
I've waited for meetings always adjourned
And for telephone calls that were never returned.
I've waited to grow just one inch more
(But I am still just five foot four) .

I've waited for a train that was already gone
And I've waited for a baby that was never born.
I've waited for that raise that I never got,
I've waited for every have that I have not,
And I'll wait it over,
I'll wait it times ten
Rather than wait
For no one
To show for my party again.

I really like your work, it's very different not like everyone else; talking about how they want to die and cut their wrists...I'm glad I finally read something different
