This is a poem that I just wrote inspired by listening to a lot of Norwegian music such as Wardruna and AURORA, that take nature and ancient culture into vast consideration.
Author: Aaron Michael Lynn
I am a marketing consultant and aspiring writer, with a major in English and a minor in history. I have been writing poetry consistently since my senior year of high school and have since published three poetry books and three novels. I have also written several songs and a few short stories. I also wrote and published a trilogy of novels, my Troika book series. I am currently working on a large-scale multi-book fantasy series that I am very excited about! Writing is a part of my every day, and I would have trouble finding meaning or the will to keep going without it.
Poems of Insomnia: Four Poems Written in the Late of Night
I don't think that I have previous made any posts containing multiple poems, so I thought that this might be fun. I was up late last night, just wired with inspiration and melodies in my head, so I ended up writing four poems very quickly one after another. Only positive thoughts; only good inspiration; only in the dead of night.
Open-Ended Garden
This is a poem that I just wrote comparing the lives of people to those of flowers.
Interlude: Revisited
This is a poem that I wrote recently that is a sequel to a series of five poems that I wrote just over a year ago. It was written to the same piece of music called "Interlude" from the Fable video game series, and brings the scene back to a timeless, cavernous place, only this time it is more peaceful and familiar.
Prison Guard
This is a poem that I wrote about having recently escaped the confines of depression, having been the prisoner to my own mind and emotions for some time.
Unspoken Bond
This is a poem that I wrote about the relationship between life and death, for people die and are born every day, making it seem like an endless trade off between the two.
Sliver of Home
This is a poem that I wrote about how I have lately been feeling more at peace than usual because I have been learning to truly love myself and enjoy my own company.
Love, Come and Find Me
This is a poem that I just wrote inspired by a pleasant change of feeling I've been experiencing lately. I no longer feel any loneliness or sorrow. I am so comfortable with myself. I am open to love, should it come and find me, but I will not be seeking it out. My time is better spent loving myself.
Cast the Stones
This is a poem that I just wrote where a speaker is talking to someone they once loved, someone who is too prideful to admit any wrongdoing or ask for help or forgiveness.
His Confession
This is a poem that I wrote today that was not inspired by anything in particular, it just tells the story of someone who has everything they've ever wanted and still struggles to find happiness in it all.
