Poetry: Reliably Yours

This poem was obviously inspired by my wife (who was only a girlfriend at the time). She enjoys this poem a lot and it's probably my favorite so far that I've written because I'm a hopeless romantic.






Reliably Yours




Twas thy innocence what won


Mine passion with thee.


To others I am none,


But with thee I can be.


All days are unique,


When spent next to you.


I know naught but seek


Thine heart, through and through.


Thou art a fair princess,


Solely of noble intention.


Thy love for righteousness


Is worth an ample mention.


I feel as if I've known you


For forever and a day,


But I haven't found a clue


How to make thee stay.


I sense thy secret sorrow;


I feel it as a plea.


If only I knew by morrow,


So I might take thy pain from thee.


Thou sayest naught but tender love;


All thy words for me.


Praying to our God above:


“Will this end happily?”

Poetry: I'm Wrong

Because I am so enthralled by the art of placing one's words on paper for all to see, I am a large fan of poetry of all kinds. I like professional poetry but amatuer poetry is just as fascinating. I'm going to share a couple of my works that I have written and some new ones as I write them. Some are better than others and I'd love to read some works of anyone else who might be interested in sharing. This is my newest poem I wrote last night just before creating my blog.






I’m Wrong




I am wrong, wrong, and wrong once more


It seems as though my throat should sore


From being wrong much more and more


I can’t work out how I can end


My wronging streak that just won’t bend


So I can mouth a truth to send


Maybe its just cause I’m a man


Or possibly arrogance can


Let others know I’m wrong again


I understand words can thunder


Sometimes, although, I just wonder


Why my wrongness makes asunder


My wife alone attempts to know


Why I cannot speak truth and grow


Without wrongness feeding my flow


She says, “Don’t fear, I see your plot


And have discerned what you have sought


Its quite simple, woman you're not


And that alone is why you’re wrong.”

About Me

So this is my first blog and I'm quite excited to get this party started. So . . . right! About me . . . My full name is Chase Michael Miller and I hail from Millersburg, Ohio (Amish country). I'm twenty years old and happily married (I know, I'm young . . . I hear it a lot) to . . . well, my wife of course. Her name is Melissa and we met after high school working together at a Wal-Mart Subway (Ah . . . good times, good times). We recently moved to Wooster to further advance our lives towards what we expect we'll become and both go to separate colleges which I'll admit has it's advantages and disadvantages. I'm going to The University of Akron (the Wayne campus) right now and my major is English with a minor in Newswriting. To be completely honest I really wish to become a fantasy/fiction writer but I think I'm going to have to take a more reliable writing career path (Newspapers, magazines, etc.) until I actually become an author. So I believe that's a good enough explanation of who I am for now and I'm sure you'll get to know who I am a little better after I write a little more. See ya . . .
