I thought my lips had broken
and my hands had burst to flames.
When I think of you, you're the one to blame.
You messed with my mind
you wasted all of my time.
You think you broke my heart?
In a Heartbeat
Dermal contact like
the strike of a match
sending a river of ions
down my bundle of His.
The bed creaks like
He was confused
It didn’t make sense to him
A perceived established reality
Conformity of confused sexuality
A deformity of needs
I miss you
but how could I tell you that? I have tried and I know that the words I have said were simply “I miss you”But what I meant when I said them..
Because I love you, I will pick you up
Because you're upset, I will cheer you up
Because you fell, I will help you up
Because you're wet, I will dry you up
Because you're messy, I will clean you up
I anit talking about marriage
I’m talking about a fling. You light my candle with your flame and you make me believe.
Love-
A beautiful thing.
To the world,
And all it contains-
Love:
When you see her crying
Out in the streets,
Out in the rain,
Water streaming down
Her face-
It is hard to decipher
Exactly what love is,
But I surely know
What it isn’t.
Love is not just what you say -
It’s how you say it.
I can say “I love you”
in a hundred inflections;
Do you know what love stands for?
Technically, it’s a chemical reaction between two people
Where they believe their feelings surpass all else
And blah blah blah
That is too scientific for this poem
Really
On Monday, our relationship resembled one in a romantic movie.
Your arms lovingly embraced me, your mouth praising my beauty.
On Tuesday, I noticed your grip loosen, your eyes burning bright.
A smile, a kiss, a hug, a nonverbal mode of communication that is gently expressed towards another person.
A sweet and endearing notion of showing that other person that you are aware and appreciative of their presence.
Because I love you, I hear your cries
And I use myself to dry your eyes
Because I love you, I make you laugh
Circumspectly leading you down the most joyous path
Because I love you, I let you sing
" I love you , you know that right ? Why don't you do what I say? "
" I love you, so don't talk to that guy anymore."
" I love you, so I know whats best, don't eat that cupcake, you don't need it."
Some people say:
"What makes a good friend?"
"Is it a good personality, teamwork, smart and stuff?"
That's broad, because I think there is way more than what they say.
“Because I Love You”
I met you walking home one day
You smiled at me and walked me to my door
I thought to myself, why me?
You asked me nervously
Come take out your bible
Let us start a revival
Unification is the plan
Grab your bothers hand
We shall all live to understand
The drunkard in the gutter is still are brother
Dancin' into a beautiful goodmornin',
and playin' to a beautiful goodnight.
The passion is like no other
A fire of pure delight.
Sharin' from the weakest of detail
To the diary of a your universe.
Craving the attention,
We fall into temptation,
The art of loving is hard to achieve
will it be forever or stop my heart from beating?
I crave the love I seem to see
Wait, is this how it's supposed to be?
Young Juliet wasn't looking for another boy to fall in love with.
Her heart was already tainted and broken by the last boy claiming to be a man.
Thanks for letting yourself back into my life.
The beats of the music you sent me
swing in my mind like a pendulum
they envelop my mind,
Before we lay our heads to rest we always say 'Goodnight'
Even when the day is bad we're always hugging tight
Carefully, we watch and have each others back
Artfully, we provide what each other tend to lack
When they come you may never know
for when they speak it will surly show
creative minds and beautiful flow,
dont underestimate what they bestow
Everyday they pass by
one in love while the other cries
Once upon a time, I believe it was a Thursday when you held the door
For me, I had walked into school, with you coming in after me
Flash forward and we'll be roaming these school halls together
It looks like being in love
Doves flying in the air with no care
Good love is feeling it
Feeling like your wanted
Feeling like crying of joy
Not toying with emotions
Everything in slow motion
Sirius
My moon, my stars
My sunset, my night sky
In my eyes you shine brighter than
Any new moon in the night time.
My heart, my soul
breathless
pant into the leaves
through the somber tender moment my heart permeates an escape
we have come to far not to turn around now
whispers
through the corridor
Single is the relationship I present myself in,
and I resent the sentiment of loneliness I feel within,
It's this surreal sensation i've had no affiliation with,
love does not manipulate
it does not try to win
for love is sacrificial
but does not always give in
love is made to share
among your family and your friends
but none should abuse
the sacred gift
No matter what I may say, I do not hate you,
I do not hate you, I love you,
And the only person I truly hate is myself
Simply because I thought you were different,
I'm a black and beautiful girl who knows her qualities.
Everywhere I go I can see how they look at me.
Other girls hate me.
They said that I'm not a pretty girl, but no they just jealous of me and I don't know why.
set a course to a horizion & I'm not lying
some how deep down inside I need love bad
taking my ride down to the beach
Relish in the noise folks out of reach
inside I have my thoughts being scattered can you gather
Once upon a time
There was a beautiful peasant
With a golden mane like that of the lion and caramel skin kissed by the blazing sun
Once upon it was just our love
How unfair, maybe it wasn't.
Migth have been once real.
But our love that was probably never real.
Found something real that's out of touch.
As that pink blush Creeps to your cheek,My knees go weak.Tears spring to my eyes When I see that smile Spread across your face.The fluffy laceStrung to your dress Makes you look even more Like a princess.The fresh May flowers Sit by the doorAlong
Maybe we were lost in translation
Maybe I said too much
and maybe we could have been a masterpiece
Till we tore it all up
You were there it was rare
Running scared
I’ve watched this happen time and time again. I love so passionately. I encourage so desperately. I patiently deconstruct every single wall, that prevented me from having you truly experience what it is to be yourself with me.
Here we go again
Watching the autumn leaves
Falling down like confentti into place
And I know you'll be long gone soon
And I'll try to be okay again
But I'm not fine yet at all
One day I will make you proud
I will make all your dreams come true
I will channel back into the younger me
Who wasn't afraid of anyone or anything
Even though I am still fearless
I fear some things
Who could love such a beast you might ask
But you are wrong to be asking
For you should love with your heart
Not those brown eyes
That you use to see through everything but my heart
Juliet, where ever shall thee be
Romeo Juliet is in her room
Well then I must goest to her
Romeo she is almost dead
you shall beest late
yet again
My love for thee
is deep as thee
cause boy you´re worth it
but your not worth it
thus you don´t deserve me
let me love thee
Feminism isn´t just equality
with men, politics, or the economy
Feminism is how
we as women
All treat eachother
Cause when we´re mean
It gets hella scary
Feminism starts with eachother
one day all your tears will turn into smiles
and all the nights you cried your self to sleep
will be the nights you laughed with your friends
those nights you lied awake with no luck in sleeping
You and I we´re made of broken glass
broken dreams
broken hope
bitter dust
burnt to ashes
stuck in a timelapse
of what we could have been
could´ve done
should´ve said
Darling bandaids can´t fix broken hearts
but you come with a bandaid anyways
for it is I you can´t forget
and then you hand it to me
I remember you said
I´m sorry for everything I did
Each day you wake up
and each day the pledge is heard
some stand up and put their hand on their hearts
but others stay seated
For is it really true?
One nation under god with liberty and ¨Justice¨ for all
I had a heart
And you stole it
But I was not a thief
I tried to go where
Unguarded
But yet you
Hid from me
A heart you stole
Gone forever
But yet it be disclosed
Adieu, I bid thee,
I bid thee, away,
So long as my love
Permit me to stay
Away, shall you roam,
Me sending you there
No more, no less,
Oh lover's beware,
A wind, a song,
So long as
I was a filter
Taking in the darkness and unable to let go
All light would pass through
I tried to grasp at its intense unknowable beauty
Because I knew it was precious and needed
For the first time, I got to hug you, to hold you & to call you mine.
I did something last night I never thought id be able to do.
For a moment I was yours & you were mine.
Heart thrums wildly,
To the beat of the music.
Fingers thump loudly,
Dancing to the drums.
Feet tap noiselessly,
To the rhythm in the air.
Bodies sway side to side,
I LOVE YOU
I love you now
I'll love you then.
From the start
And till the end.
Your more to me
Then my girlfriend.
I love the rainbow
In your hair.
Your sympathy shows
Silence by: Natavious Lewis
Constantly spiraling in a whirlpool of words
My breath encapsulated by the art of combining pencil and paper
Through the long classes,
filled with intoxicating noise-pollution
and fading attention, we found mutual adoration,
then love.
Remember, my crass stubbornness created us;
One time I talked to a stone wall,
and it was just like talking to you.
Except
without the interuptions.
I say,
Hey, Wall, what's happenin'?
You think you're trapping me,
Being a poet to me is letting the world hear your thoughts and see your pain.
Being a poet to me is expressing the times your heart being cut and wounded countlessly times.
Everybody was once a babyDo you ever think of that?
That the strongest person you knowWas once a fragile baby
That the most evil person you knowWas once an innocent baby
