I Wonder
Why Fake
People Always
Think
Everythang's
Fake, Like
Love, Faith
And Desire.
after all you have done to hurt me
i wish you nothing but peace
and the last thing you will ever get from me
If I could-
I would
change the world
and make it kinder,
more just
- a world of peace...
but I am not God,
possess no miracles-
still,
I'd aim high...
If only I could,
This is to the dreamers
To the star crossed lovers
to the ex-bestfriends
And the hopeless wonders
This is to the sleepless nights
In a field of green with grass overgrown,
Where the sun touched the earth and moon sang her tune,
Sat a maiden of gold and a heart so sweet,
When I realized I was growing up
There wasn’t just one instance for me
First came the responsibility
For I was given plenty
I wish I knew where I was going, jumping on trampolines and through the gardens of my thoughts.
I left my heart somewhere near you
And I guess you haven’t sent him back yet
Or maybe you just haven’t noticed him there
Lying beside you
I laid him by you years ago
If poems could weep
sweet dripping words that speak
the heart's pounding defiant secrets
once forced hushed to a peep,
then let my pen stir rivers and streams,
I love you.
I love the way I hurt all the time.
I love the way you make me feel like breaking down.
I love it when you say you love me, but don’t show me.
Dear Partner-To-Be,
I have a wicked request.
I want to see the different worlds of this universe, alone,
Love myself, and come back home.
If during my travels we meet,
I welcome you with a simple greet.
A wishing boat floated out to sea
To catch a fallen star
It called out to the ocean breeze
With sadness and despair
Wished with all its might
A room made of darkness,
Pitch black so I can't see.
The haunting moan of loneliness, in the distance, it calls for me.
What once was full of light and the occasional flicker of pain,
I wish I could shut off all the voices in my head, just for a moment.
I wish i could make people understand.
No matter how hard I try it seems impossible.
The night before last, when I laid down in bed
A familiar dream wandered into my head.
I was an apartment, that I knew was my own.
Pathetic
never mind
wish i kept it
all inside
i don't matter
you'll soon find
the world got blacker
here, have a blacklight
but i can't see: how that will help
I wish that I can make them happy.
I wish I can make it true.
But I wish that I didn't have to procrastinate, but hey what can I do?
I wish I wasn't so privileged.
I wish they understood.
Unforgiving,
Torturing
Things
A dream
Is just
A wish
Your heart
makes.
A silent
Hope that
Things will
Get better.
Love is
just a
dream
I am a lost boy,
From Neverland,
Never growing up,
And running from,
Captain Hook.
Never wanna leave,
Wanna stay right here,
Flying 'round the woods with,
Peter Pan.
He is the crisp air between my browsgolden rays highlightthe brown husks of his eyesthese eyelids flutter closedhis voice humbles me,like the leaves spiraling in the wind(a sound meant only for the moment).
Stars up above
Upon which hang wishes
Of young children
Old folks
And perhaps even
The occasional
Starstruck lover
Dreams of something
Even better
Than what you have
Pouring down
In unrelenting sheets
Washing all
In its path
Battle-worn soldiers
Pellets of water
That are cold to the touch
Leaving numb traces
And mingling
With salty tears
It hurts again
This familiar pain
The ache in your chest
The depressing rain
The gloomy sky
So high above
It feels cold
And chilly
And somehow wet
And it feels like
I look up at the sky at night and some times there are stars
Did you know they actually twinkle?
Like bright eyes winking down
sharing in our lives
I look up at the sky at night and some times there are stars
I hope, I wish, I dream
Though distant it may seem
That one day I will succeed
And this is my only plea.
Once, I wished upon a star
To take me to a land afar
Away from death, away from life
Away from sins, and stress, and strife
I sat upon my windowsill
And watched the stars, with time to kill
Your words whisp’r allure,
They beck’n my retrace.
My eyes, how they wander,
Seek solely your gaze
Deep canyons before me,
Owned by ripples darting quick
Met by a smile wry
starlight, starbright,
first one I saw tonight
was really a plane.
blinking lights and then it was gone
taking me away with it.
I tossed all my wishes in that hollow metal thing.
A beer bottle broken upon an empty table
But my friends are alright, for that I am grateful
You see every day is a battle that I fight
Never resting never stopping till I lose the light
the stars glint above us,
they shine with all the power of the universe
poured into them.
one,
so full of energy
bursting at the seams,
shoots itself into the vast, ominous sky.
i make a wish,
Dancing in a ring of fire
Hoping that your dreams aspire
But the drive down the road
Is one you'll make all alone
All of your wishes and hopes
One day you'll climb all the ropes
If I had three wishes
I'd wish that there wasn't anything left to wish for
I'd not wish that all the world had eyes to see
but that all that the unseen problems wouldn't have to be
I hope you remember me
I hope you know that I still love you
I wish that you smile, everyday
I wish that you laugh, all day long
Those are my hopes and wishes
I intend to keep those
You don't see mestanding there - watchingwaiting.
Even with the Moon'sfull glare-longinghoping.
I whisper your Nameto the quiet night - watchingwaiting.
If I was an instrument
Just currently crafted
As I am
The old sounds would come from my fresh body
And startle those near
My simple, small, structure
She has a heart of gold, where ever she’s taken
Walk the halls of memories for brighter days.
Her smile is once-in-a lifetime, her eyes are one-in-a million
There's trick or treat at the zoo
What can you get for me and you?
Animals can give you sweet kisses
Or sweet wishes
They can make you smile
For a little bit or a while
Monkey's swing from trees
Every girl wants somethingBut what I want I feel I'll never getI want to wake up to the wordsI love you
I can see it now
Church bells, the white dress, the humble ring
You'll have a smile for the happiness to each other we bring
Everyone will be happy for us
There's no one else with this much trust
Blind Ambition
Keeps me wishin'
I had someone like You
Orange burst
of passion
Purple mist
When life is hard, when the stress seems too much
When we lose a loved one, when we need a crutch
What do we do when our worlds begin to crumble at our feet, and we feel more empty than a sea with no fish?
I don't know how many.
100?
More?
Less?
That is so many wishes.
So many chances to improve the world.
So fragile and unguared.
Waiting
For my knight in shining armor,
For my superhero sister,
For one true friend.
Wishing
For the world to fall from my shoulders,
For the chance to dance again,
For a single golden laugh.
Why can’t I succumb to these emotions?
I see spring, but feel winter
Petals dance in the stinging wind
Gust of stormy winds raise me to the utmost high
Wishes passed onto you
When life turns round
It sets a wall
So very, very tall
Separating two sides
Inside a mall I see a man,
about as tall or taller than me.
Near the pearly marble fountain he stands,
just about happy as happy can be.
I asked him, "Sir what brings you here,
Staring at her past self
Evaporated Dreams
Waistline Increased
Color Dimmed
Snapshots of happiness
Endless Sunny Skies
Playful Fights
Summertime
How old was she?
Do what you can
And wile you can
Do what you will
So you can fulfill
The wishes that you have
And I will stand on your behalf
Memories from childhood bounced out of a thick fog in her mind.
Wishing her siblings would learn to leave her things alone.
Wishing, for just one day, she could live in a quieter house.
I tend to think often about dandilions
cacophonus shouts of color on distinctly green and freshly cut lawns
chubby fingers uprooting sticky pipe stems
charished flower buquets at the corners of smiles
Darling I’d like to wish for some good dreams
What a pleasant thing to do.
Oh, Darling I’d wish for some good dreams
But that’d mean leaving behind you.
Pantoum: Orphan Wishes
1 She wished she knew who her parents were.
2 She knew only of those in the orphanage.
3 But their souls could not fill up her gap.
I wish things could be different. I don't want to complain. I wish we could all feel happiness, and not sorrow or pain. I wish we would all love, and live a happy life. I wish we could all laugh again, and dance in the rain.
A thousand cranes, a thousand stars
Folding and writing, hoping and sighing
One wish is all I want but common sense
Is out the window and the smart things
To wish for are not what’s tugging at my heart
I love listening to old school music,
Admiring the sound of Jazz,
I would love if rappers would finely use it,
Making music that sweetly whispers to my soul,
I wish that was the main goal,
I wished for you, oh the greatest of things.
I thought it was what you most certainly needed,
and that purpose I had could not be defeated.
I took it upon me,
not wish for some selfish deed,
Wish upon a star
Dreams are a wish your heart makes
Stay a child and believe in fairytales
Don't let life bring you down
Because one day
When you're about to walk away
Someone special will say no way
If only you knew how much you mean to me,
How much I still care.
If only you knew that your smile makes my day complete,
And your hugs leave me comforted.
