Liberty toils in
Her field, desiring
For a day where
She finally lays
Peacefully as a baby
On a green pasture,
Washed with Youth.
Equality toils in
His field, watching
You are my
Shining star,
I wish for you,
Wishing to float
And gravitate towards
You.
If only fate could
Hand you a fishing
Rod, so that I could
Swim and be pulled
The difference between
The Sun and The Moon
One leads the day
One leads the night
The Sun's followers are the clouds
The Moon's being the stars
One beams a bright yellow,
I went back to our memory today.
The bench beneath us was white-washed
With the summer sun
And thousands of transient lovers’
Marks
In the end, I found out you were just playing games,
and you go through girls without even bothering to learn their names.
Here I was thinking that you were different,
Involuntary thought, and deep desireHave come together, to plot and conspire A life sentence of, distracting daydreamsThat plays in the mind, like a silver screen. In constant state of, lonely LimerenceFrom which I’m praying, for deliverance. A re
If I could,I would paint a picture of you across the sky—A canvas of clouds for the world to see.The rainbow, my palette, dipped in hues of my heart,To illustrate the boundless depthsOf how much I love you.
After being confused for so long, I started to believe that right person, wrong time was not a thing,
Because there was too much confusion and disappointment that it would bring.
Out of everyone else, with you it hurts the most,
Because this was the first time in my life where it felt like we were getting close.
As much as I don't want to say those words to you,
I always wanted to believe it to be true,
That in the end, maybe it would end up being me and you.
But maybe I not to accept the reality that it is not,
I can’t help but glance
And often look back
Your presence overwhelms me and makes it hard to breath
Forgive me for my act of coldness and my lack of interest
I feel my heart begin to pound
All of the sudden it feels hot
That dimple on your cheek
Your curly short hair
Your bright smile
Is love sweet?
Is it soft and light?
Could such a thing truly make you blind?
To truth, to life and honesty
And even love for your family
How do I find you? In this world that seems so big
I read the books but lack the action
I read the books and dream the scenes
I read the books and want the feeling
And just like that, I found myself in the same situation once again,
Torn between cutting you out of my life, or keeping you around as just a friend.
You can't tell me that you didn't think of me the same way,
Silly me for thinking that you felt the same,
And for believing in love, but I know that I am the only one to blame.
You think I would have learned my lesson by now,
But once again, I am left here wondering 'how?'
I am slowly starting to accept that maybe my path is not going to go how I planned,
Maybe at the end of the day, there will be no one there to hold my hand.
I hate that I am allowing myself to get excited,
Because the whole time I have been telling myself to go into this light hearted.
But I have realized that I have not learned how to keep myself out of this mess,
You seem different, and it feels like you feel the same way that I do,
But I have seen this before, where I felt that those delusions in my head were true.
I am scared that once again, I will be the only one to fall,
When roses bloom
And birds begin to sing,
When the sun begins to rise
And caterpillars grow their wings,
When sunbeams fall in place
Lingering Feelings
Your smell still on the blanket sheets,
A mark of the nights we shared.
Your voice still echoing in my head,
Like an unforgettable tune.
Lingering Feelings
Your smell still on the blanket sheets,
A mark of the nights we shared.
Your voice still echoing in my head,
Like an unforgettable tune.
I never thought I would be here, but here we are,
Finally being able to heal after the heartbreak and all of the scars.
Moving on from you and finally putting you in the past,
And just like that, three months have gone by,
And I didn’t think it would be this hard to say goodbye.
But there is not a day that doesn’t go by that I don’t think about you,
I have heard people say that they were going through Hell,
And most of the time, they didn’t need to say anything, and you were able to tell.
After all this time, I finally realized what I need to do,
And that is to let go of everything that I went through.
To finally forgive you after everything that went down,
All of this time I kept blaming myself, wondering why I was never good enough,
But after four years, I finally realized that none of that is true.
I can’t blame myself for what you did to me,
I found myself starting to cry again last night,
Wondering what I could have done differently so you could love me right.
But for the first time in a while, the tears wouldn’t fall,
Last night was the last time that I will allow myself to feel this way,
Because you are no longer going to control my thoughts everyday.
I have finally realized that I can do so much better than you,
Four years since the day that I have found out your name,
Four years since I have never been the same.
Four years since the first time I saw that smile,
And just like that, I don’t have any of the memories anymore,
And it feels like I am one step closer to closing that door.
It was one of the hardest things that I ever had to do,
For so long, I kept trying to defend you,
And I would always try to justify the things that you would do.
Even though I knew it was true, I would always try to deny it,
Last night all of my fears had come true,
Because when I was walking home, I ran into you.
I saw you out of the corner my eye,
I have comes to terms with the reality that is me and you,
And I know that reaching out is something that you are never going to do.
As much as I hate to admit it, I know that part of is done,
It still hurts sometimes, but I have come to peace with where me and you are,
And I guess I like the fact that me and you are sleeping under the same stars.
It’s hard to sit here and figure out what we were,
Because the past few years have kind of all turned into a blur.
I know we weren’t lovers, but I also don’t think we were just friends,
I have moved on, and I have worked so hard to let it all go,
But there are still some things that you don’t seem to know.
And I have all of the memories saved,
And just like that, I was finally able to move on,
And it seems like the memories I have for you are slowly starting to be gone.
It sucks that it took so long for this to finally come true,
The day that I never thought would come is finally here,
And now I am able to see things nice and clear.
That you were nothing special from the start,
This whole time I kept wondering why God did this to me,
Why would he bring someone so amazing into my life, if he knew we were never going to be?
It hurts me to say, but I know that this is the end,
Because after everything that happened, we can never be friends again.
I have to admit to myself, that I will always love you,
I feel myself slowly starting to get better everyday,
But every once in a while, it still hurts, and I knew that it was going to be this way.
And I find myself still wishing that you would come back,
I am starting to realize that you know you were wrong,
Because I was giving you what you wanted all along.
You know that she will never treat you better than me,
I have to admit that there are times when you are still on my mind,
But unlike before, it is not like it is happening all of the time.
I found myself smiling yesterday, and it happened to be sincere,
Just when I think that I am starting to feel okay,
Something sets me back, and I find myself crying the next day.
Everything that happened continues to mess with my head,
You ruined love for me,
Because you made me feel like I could finally have everything that I dreamed it could be.
You found me when I was in the darkest place,
You ruined love for me,
Because you made me feel like I could finally have everything that I dreamed it could be.
You found me when I was in the darkest place,
I read the post and I immediately thought of you,
And I know that that is something that I shouldn’t do.
But when I read it, my brain began to wonder if it was just a coincidence,
I still remember the story that you told me,
About how your mom wanted nothing to do with your dad until they came to be.
How they grew up together, and your mom wanted nothing to do with your dad,
Two weeks to the day was when things ended between you and I,
And I no longer feel the need to sit here and ask myself why.
Why I wasn’t good enough for you, and why I couldn’t be what you wanted,
The day that you left, it felt like my whole world came crashing down,
And that there was no way that I was going to be able to pick myself up off of the ground.
I thought I wasn't going to show it to you, but I did,
And now you know how I have felt about you since you were a kid.
After all of this time, maybe now you can finally see,
As hard as it would be to hear it, sometimes I wish you would just have the guts to say how you feel,
Because you and I both know that it is what is real.
I know you want to tell me to leave you alone,
I've never been brave. All my life, I've been the girl terrified of spiders.
I've been the one who isn't able to sleep without a light on, the one who's scared to walk alone in the dark.
The Eyes Have It...
By St Clinton
I look into her eyes
They look back at me
Reaching into my soul
Letting me know
She feels my truths
She feels my lies
i still sit around waiting for the day that you reach out.
even if it’s as simple as an update about your dog or your sister.
but if that day never comes
Softly kissing your wrist,as I glance into your inviting eyes,I lead you slowly down a grassy path,though only by finger tips,unbreakable is the bond that binds us.There before your eyes,laid upon a checkered blanket,is the picnic that I promised,
One minute I hate you and I say that we are through.
The next minute you smile and do that thing that you do.
That makes me losy my mind every single time,
And I am constantly reminded of how bad I want you to be mine.
I think I finally realized what the true defintion of love is,
That it is something that can also be scary and terrifying, and is not just romantic and full of bliss.
That was what finally made me realize that I loved you,
It's funny how life decides to teach you lessons in the hardest way,
And that most of the time, you don't know what else you can do, think, or say.
For the first time in a long time, I am finally starting to feel like me again,
I have never seen an ugly flowerFlowers are always full of grandeurFlowers are known to be beautifulAll the time, that's stupendously wonderfulAll flowers speak a beautiful language
Taking it day by day is all that I can do,
Because no matter how hard I try, all I think about is you.
One day I am fine, and the next day I am falling apart,
I have been trying so hard to erase you from my mind,
And I keep reowrking it in my mind that I am fine.
I go through phases, and one day I'm okay and the next day I am falling apart,
I am broken in pieces, sitting behind my bedroom door,
Trying to get myself to pick up the peices of my heart that are scattered all over the floor.
You broke me in ways that I will never be able to understand,
I tell myself that I don't want anything more to do with you,
But it is hard to convince yourself of that after everything that we have been through.
I tell myself that I don't care whether or not you leave me on read,
I'm agitated...Feeling aggravated... I want to see you... Breathe you... But you're out of my reach... My golden peach... I grasp for you... Only to gasp for you... I can't touch you... Oh Just want to clutch you... Roll you up in my hand...
For so long, I kept holding on, trying to convince myself that all of this was for something,
But I wasn't prepared for all of the hurt and pain that it would bring.
I am covered in bruises, cuts and scares from head to toe,
I am tired of listening to everyone around me telling me that I am wrong for still believing,
Because they are so used to giving up on love and having everyone close to them suddenly leaving.
Let’s take a long walk
So we can have a long talk
About everything under the sun
I wish i could stop the butterflies
flooding my stomach and stinging my heart
are they bees?
the sweet and sour sensation
i love to feel
the sting reminds me
that i cant say
Do you ever get scared of not knowing what you are capable of?
And this can be in every aspcect in your life; whether it be work, school, goals, or even love?
I didn't want to admit it, but I cried myself to sleep every night this week because of you,
And I know that it is going to continue, no matter what I try and do.
Once before, I thought I was in love, but I soon realized that this was not true,
And I was questioning if I ever would feel it for you, but that was until I met you.
Sometimes things don't always work out the way that we had planned,
And sometimes these things that are falling apart start to get you, and it gets to the point where you feel like you can't even stand.
"How did your baseball game?," was the innocent question that I asked that started it all.
When I asked you that, I never in a million years thought that I would continue to fall.
There is nothing more confusing about trying to figure out what is going on with love,
And that it is not always written out in black and white when push comes to shove.
It always seems as if things come to you when you aren't looking for anything to occur,
And when things get hard, it can be very easy to keep longing for the way that they once were.
It took me a long time to realize that not everyone in your life is going to want what is best for you,
And that sometimes the people around you are going to want to see you fail because they know they could never do what you do.
Lately it seems like I am constantly going through the same battle in my mind,
And it all comes down to whether or not I need to let you go, or hold on and still believing that one day you will be mine.
For the first time that I can recall, this is theI knew deep down in my heart that the decision that I was making was the right one,
Even though everyone was telling me that there was no hope and that I needed to be done.
From the trace of your fingertips
To the shape of your
collarbone
I want to learn
every path of you
Your ups and downs
Scent compelling and drawing me in
working had to find a way to your heart
trying to hide this like a fish swmming with no fin
if only I could buy love
darling, you'd be in my shopping cart
I want to be the man
I see in your eyes
Every time you look at me.
The best is yet to be,
The last of life for which
The first was made.
Grow old along with me;
I still remember that day…
The day when Heaven cried.
When Heaven Cried.
Oh, When Heaven Cried.
That was the saddest day in September.
Their love was special.
An angel was her guardian
Unknownly she does not realize that he watches over her
Doing his duty, protecting her
But overtime, it did not work
His heart has fallen for her
It's so easy loving you
The wind carries me like a breeze
I'll do whatever you want
As I fall weak in the knees
I haven't caught you any butterflies because the type you seek don't come for yellow rosesand carry heavy, ruby, cordate wings I could never really desire.
Theres someone for everyone, they always say
In this I have hope, Patient Ill stay
You'll come when I stop looking, so I did
Ill play the long game, and reject the Id
Look down at me.
The shapes you see, that could easily be reflections of who you want, If you forget it's just me.
And does it matter, the bleak expression unforgettably cutting across my eyes?
Constant exposure of
instant gratification,
that’s where we’ve drawn the line.
Where we are, where we’ve been;
then traveling further in time.
Why is it we have desperation and reliability on one person we want when we can’t have?
The worst feeling that won’t go away until they say yes, and deepens when they go away.
You're not supposed to love me.
I’m supposed to relive the past that has taught me to be wary of love that cares about me.
I used to be frantic for love
Grasping for connections like
trying to catch a greased pig
An ironic analogy all things considered
I always felt like my time was running out
ROMANTIC EMOTION
Only the eyes 👀 of realist could see the intensity of such beauty in her. I see beyond facial expression. See--- those teeth creates romantic emotion.
#C9_fm
i like the way you touch me
when you run your fingertips across my back
down my spine
i like when you wrap your arms around me
pulling me closer even when closer isn't possible
i like it when you're goofy
moments made me love you
these moments
meant nothing to you
but still at the end of the day
im still
glad i loved you
Send me your love through flowers
Roses, Daisies and Daffodils
Plant your kisses on my face for hours
Till my Lips, cheeks every inch fills
I want him to love me
I want him to desire
I want him to cherish me
Just as I do for him
I want him to be with me
all we were before was just two lost nomads, been traveling to different places and searching for the right warmth of one’s embraces.
I can't tell if the voices in my head or the voices in my ears are the ones that are bringing me down,
I am someone who is always positive, and these voices that won't stop are the ones that are turning this around.
There’s this feeling I can’t quite explain
But it isn’t sadness or fear or pain
It’s like a lightning bolt straight through my mind
Making me so dizzy I’ve almost gone blind
Let me tell you something disgusting.
I’m still in love with you,
I don’t want to be, I don’t mean to.
the stars were sprinkled across the dark evening sky when i had poured wine from my eyes and inebriated myself on the intoxicating liquor
Waterproof speaker
On, pressed soft against my thigh,
Your bass shakes my nerves
I used to think it's just a lie,
when lovers say they will take a bullet for each other,
but now I feel like taking a bullet for you,
straight into my heart it will go.
Hunter of my soul.
Master of my body.
Be on your way.
Captured, I am not meant to stay.
Break me if you must.
But this bittersweet cage is unjust.
What could this all be about?
You creep into almost all of my dreams.
I just thought that I forgot about you again, or so it seems.
I honestly haven't seen you in years.
However, forgetting you never comes near.
I’m honest and genuine when I declare my love for my King.
I love you more than I have ever loved another, you make my soul sing.
This love hit different, deeper, a real soul connection type of thing.
I adore all the scars that you've showed me,I respect all concerns that you have,But my heart is full of longingFor the things that we'll never have.
I want to catch loving looks,To feel adoration and care,Vainly try to resist the pull,Because of the feelings shared.
might someone remember us?
might, they remember you.
eyes.
evening.
monolid.
silver.
nutmeg.
the rain in your eyes.
and how euphrosyne envies your titter.
i hope you find someone
you are content to just be with
where not a word passes between you
but you have never felt more heard
it took him by surprise
loving her was unlike any hollyood film or book he had read
there was no fire in his belly when he saw her across the bar
he didn't feel the urge to take her home and rip off her sweater
As you shed your garments like a snake
My eyes are ready to examine your shape
And cast my eyes upon your face
There I saw two beautiful summer skies I treasured
I hear the water running
So I decide to pay a visit
To make things explicit
To show you both my lust and loving
Knocking, I am let in
Seeing your magnificent figure
Your ivory nylons graze my complexion
Our tongues twirled and my palm explored your figure
While the other smoothly gripped your strands
I feel my abdomen being gripped by polyester covered limbs
The depths of my soul have been struck
Perhaps it may be foolish to think
There could be anyone else
Who could cause my face as pink
Than herself
We have our fights
When you reach for my hand, I squeeze hardNot even my words can measure our loveBut even so, I shall still try my bestYou fill my body with exultation
I wish I could forget you,
And all we have been through.
I wish I could free my self from
These prison walls around me.
Walls you built to torture me
Selfishly, in the name of love.
I can show you the world,
with my heart full of love,
A dazzling world to be,
meant for just u and me.
it is impossible for me to put my love for you into words,
but i will always continue to try.
would adjectives be accurate?
maybe endless,
passionate,
intimate.
To think of spring
in the dewy, humid morning
when love is brand new
and cherished like the sky of blue
she walks in front of you
not knowing where to begin
and where to end
she lends
You spilled your thoughts as ink
A rolling field of paper and colour
Painting your emotions away
Filling a blank canvas with life
I blame the stars
For the first kiss you stole form me
When your lip brushed against mine
The birds were singing all night
Every moment with you fells like I'm living in a movie
I never thought that escape was possible.
Not until I met you.
Even with a collective half of a car and only the change in our pockets to serve as a fund, you gave me wings and a south to fly to.
The sun came out for a moment today and, while I am fully aware that November has hardly begun, I couldn’t help but picture ice dripping on a late-April afternoon.
Even though it seems like the days are getting longer, I know that they are actually coming to an end,
And I am sitting here staring at the letters that I wrote to you, but never had the guts to send.
They say distance makes the heart grow fonder,
And being apart from somelike you has made my mind wander.
I am constanty wondering what you are doing during this time,
I am stuck at home finding random things to do,
But all of this time being here just makes me think about you.
I don't know when I will see you again, and it is driving me crazy,
Im sitting in my house and weighing the options.
If I go out, I may get sick, but I have a death wish anyway so bring it on.
If I stay in this house any longer I am going to turn into Jack Nicholson.
I want to see my boy,
When years stretch away empty,
your dreams start to die.
Kicked often enough,
you forget how to try.
Things that used to be urgent
don't matter so much.
Friends drift away.
Somehow you lose touch.
There was a lot of roses in my garden,
I kept my garden with hardcore care,
Lots of roses blossomed in my garden,
Beautiful Red Roses,Yello Roses,White Roses,…
one day a visitor arrived to visit my garden,
The world looks up at her,
She shines, supernova, stardust.
Spectacular in her grace.
Watch her as she tiptoes,
Dancing, gliding, glowing.
My constellation, my muse,
My zodiac.
-It was quàrter past 11
-when you picked me up in your Benz.
Promising you were a changed man,
a fairytale ,Hollywood ending.
Claiming your all in,
I thought you were sent from god,
Hue grows strong/hue dies weak
Baby bird bites its beak
Fragile nest in a creek
Sticks and stones, bugs and leaves
Fingers, hands, hair and hearts
Our eyes locked
Lip locked
Eye contact to the
Extreme
His hand, made from porcelain
Gently brushed
My olive freckles
if we want to talk about being hard to love
that definition begins with me
anxiety
insecurity
paranoia
chewing me up, throwing me out
you said you were taxing to love
as if that could ever be true
loving you is like loving christmas lights
loving you is like breathing
Oh how I long for your warm embrace. To see your moonlit face, to gaze into your starlit eyes. I dream of you wiping away all the pain and the lies. But alas, this shall never come to pass. Try as I might, no matter how much I scream and fight.
Power is my sword.
Grace is my ford.
And me not be a hoard.
I use to like my cable cord.
Now I carve wood art.
My palace is made out of form.
I want to write about love in life,maybe about how time flies bywhen someone special comesaround. Yet my search is flawed, or interest is lost, I know sentiments of lust are driving my conversations.
Is it possible that I do
What you do
To make me do
What I do? I wonder.
Could anyone feel
The way I feel
One last whisper... no closing act.
And to what did I owe this regret, my heart still intact?
Was she the one for me? No it couldn't be.
I broke up with the damsel. I did it. But why did all emotions flee?
It's nice to think that someone is out there
Who will listen and love me
Despite everything I am and everything I have been
Who will listen and love me
Despite my expiration date that is always changing
I feel like a bubble of emotion
Floating in the ease of your presence
But I think I am always waiting
For the inevitable "POP"
And knowing it wouldn't be possible
To put us back together
Times never change, Sappho//You could not weave and I could not write tonight//She asked me to write her essay for her (she hates English class) and I said yes—like a fool to the stockades//I turned my essay in late because of her but it
Just
by erika taylor
Sunsets with you are just prettier,
It’s pretty plain to see,
That feeling of you,
Loving me.
I picture me and you
as an everlasting tattoo
to exist, to bear, to will
endlessly... like when we first escaped to the sea
waves rolling towards the never-ending sunset
A love story has no end;
but as they say, it needed to be bend.
Relationship don't last,
because some things are going to intrude you in a blast.
I prayed to Atë
For life
But she did not take that well
Because there is no easy way for me to be punished for that
She cannot give me life and my own downfall
Everyone always tells me I have a way with words.Yes, my pen scribbles almost uncontrollably, when I picture you, and how I like to describe who you are, and how much an acquaintence could possibly mean to me.
i've been trying to forget you
i've done an awful job
i'm crying once again
at clair de lune.
i want you to tell me i'm the girl
you can't get out of your head
your muse
your motivation
the only one that matters at the end of it all
before grabbing my face and kissing me slowly
"I wish someone would write about me like this."
"Someone does."
You didn't believe me but you were all I wrote of today.
I would give him up a thousand time just to have you
So dear, doll, darling,
Why do I feel like I'm losing you?
My heart is still yours if you want it
it's up for grabs
Hanging by the hooks on the back of my door
Waiting to be picked in the garden beside my house
Sent in a letter, sealed with a kiss
Words can't describe how I want to be free
Free to Enjoy my personal liberty
My definition of free is something most people won't agree
He plans meticulously.
She smiles with the warmth of a thousand ancient fires,
and her eyes twinkle to rival Venus in the night sky.
Whose maze was he in?
I wish I could live my whole life
Pressed against your lips
Drinking in your smell
Grabbing at your hips
My travels start
Right here
Deep in my mind,
My travels take me just where
I please, I don’t have
To leave my warm room.
My travels start,
Sixteen, sun
Beating down,
I don't know what I'm doing at all;
He looked at me and caught me in a trance.
The blood in my veins sludged to a slow crawl.
My heart, my aching heart wanted to dance.
I don't think I've ever been in love;
The ones so fearful of losing power so many centuries ago
Saw beautiful creatures times two, such a grand foe
This is where it began, the treachery to split the souls in half
Take me where flowers bloom,
And the sweet fragrance touches us.
From above, the clouds and the moon,
All come down to be the witnesses.
We hold hands, make those promises,
Even the smallest of her affections is your undoing
Wet footprints on the white sand that you won’t tread upon
Only the sea could ever erase the memory of her there
nothing turns into something
im surrounded with grey rays of dim light
a storm cloud looms over my head
they catch the rain but the storm doesnt pass
my clothes are soaked and my mascaras running
The night we sat under the stars,
Away from the light
Where the ocean stayed still all around us,
We looked up into the full moon.
9-5-18
there was a time i really thought we were going to be together forever.
and the reasons that we aren't are bull shit.
Flipping pages late into the night,
Reading about Thomas Jefferson’s accomplishments
The great things he did
I wanted to do something great, unprecedented
hes truly something else to me
i study him as if hes written shakespeare
i worship him as if he were a god
this valentine's don't bring me a rose
the smell will only tickle my nose
instead bring me a kiss
with that you can't miss
I'll love you from your head to your toes
You’d Think Coffee was Some Kind of Miracle Drug
10 PM
It’s not like I TRY to stay awake at night.
I wonder what she’s doing…
There was this girl
Two Years my subordinate,
But I would never call her that,
Instead, I'd like to call her my wife,
But Stephanie is her's by birth,
Where'd she wander to when I left?
he lays in her lap as her petal-soft fingers run through his star-ridden curls
he tells her that her freckles could make an entire galaxy
focusing
in a deep way
dreaming
about last summer
thinking about
feeling
a spark
a distance
some energy
a certain way
looking
at myself
Roses are red, Violets are blue, A beauty is amazing, And so are you. Orchids are white, Ghost ones are rare, Tresses are blonde, And so is your hair. Magnolia grows, With buds like eggs, Muscles are smooth, And so are your legs. Sunflowers rea
We wanted nothing more than to be
Together.
And so there we lay,
Skin to skin, bone to bone, and we watched
and we noticed
The way our chests began to rise and fall
in unison.
We sat togetherfingers intertwinedlegs swinging overthe ledge,the edge of abyss(of bliss?)no space between
My heart
Drained
As you took
Your last flight.
Moved to
A place
So far away
And bright
The love
We had and
Tried to grow
And tried to save
Our true love began with dedication
Our mutual feelings we do impart
Your love leaves me with a bright sensation
To you I grant this gift: my loving heart
Compassion spreads its wings like a white swan
In the moment that i realized I love you, my life became an endless summerRays of light pierced through the skyMy heart blossomed as the sunflowers do& the salty ocean waves crashed playfully onto the shore the way your lips crash onto mine My
That heavy cigarette scent, intertwined with his cologne, lingered in the little space between us.
It's always been a bit too familiarThe glow in your eyesThe sparkle in your smileThe way you illuminate my darkness During the nights that seem the most opaque& during the bleakest of twilightsThere has always been a certain star that ignites
Hold me. Hold me and don't let go. No matter what happens, promise me you'll stay. Promise me I will always have a place in your arms, but don't make a promise you can't keep.
You looked at me with an intensity that took my breath away, and I became transfixed by the hopeless need and possessive protection storming through your eyes. I knew then that I could never leave you.
ALONE
Hollow. That’s the fear I feel.
The loneliness floods my chest like a
Riptide.
Human presence makes me feel
She laid snugly in her bed
as if she had nothing to do.
She peered out her glass window
Finding out boys are jerks Finding out some friends are tradersFinding out boys break you Finding out most friends help youFinding out true friends are true friendsFinding out you'll need them till the very end
I’d never ridden a motorcycle before.
But when she asked if she could take me for a ride
I couldn’t find a single reason to say no.
The shelves are lined with pink and red
Two colors that I wasn’t really fond of,
At least not when I was young
The heart-filled patterns and lovey dovey messages
Oh Oviedo, Florida
How I adore you
I’ve never seen you
But I know where you are
Jacquelyn and Amanda
Talk of road trips heading West
If you were here right now,
you’d know just what to say.
Bring me up off the brink,
cradle me in your words,
and touch me with your dreams.
I will be The Judge,
You will be The Jury.
I’ll believe in the happy never-afters
and the long-forgotten fables.
Rebut me as much as you like,
Jury.
Play me a song
‘Cause I’m feeling lonely
Like the sad lyrics
Of a Troye Sivan single
Fuck it,
I’ll dance all by myself
They say that
Distance
Makes the heart grow fonder
But I was fond enough
When we walked
Alongside one another
Fights begin and end,
But what is a world worth living
Where there is no one there to start them?
Not just because there will be no fights,
the gnawing.
the pounding of my heart.
the blood rushing to my cheeks.
stuttering every time I’m near you.
the ache I feel when you leave.
the rush I get from kissing you.
A place to ourselves as we cleaned off the shelves
My, how things pile over time
Our hearts were racing as our fears we were facing
The whole night, I ate maybe a dime
I see his face and her face, I see all the rest
But do you not see the hole in my chest?
I hear his voice and her voice, I hear theirs too
But darling, where's your voice? I only want you.
A bird who loves his cage and his view of the tree
Is still a bird in captivity
The loveliest of cells still has the power to derange
I wanted so desperately to be free
The tempting breezes to leave me be
Dandelions sure do look like flowers
But they're weeds that wilt in just a few hours
To my untrained eye, it looked like a real dollar bill
But a distorted George screamed "Counterfeit" and still
In this poem,
The name of my crush has been redacted
And replaced with the word "god":
God,
you’re hot
But that’s another poem.
God,
let me write poems about you.
Accross the pond
You waved at me
The night was young
The dance floor was heating up
We sat by the pond
Judging those dancing by the stage
Those shaking their bodies away
My letters trace your elegance with ease.
The page cannot contain your splendent smile.
No sweeter voice could grace the gentle breeze
Of the unworthy worlds my pens defile.
Maybe I care too much
Maybe I need more
Down time
True boundaries
That I can’t see
With my bare eyes
Thrive on dreams
Thrive on strings
A heart to heart
A fact of life
I’ll remember
You
Through time’s filter
Turning thoughts yellow
And blue, flowers
Wilting, snow
Falling
There once was a worlds, where theys, for live, were gone
The home you lived in, life mild, or did you think it was
Love? Justly so, or where to worlds could be, and life was
but that these, were of our people, We.
.
Up in your arms i lay,
Violence not just anymore,
What goes up must come down,
Whirl wind will be still,
Persist while we stay through the gale.
.
Nothing lasts forever,
This too shall pass.
Emotions towards an angel, swallow thee like a wave in the sea
See the bruises on my skin, for my love is beating I from within
Words of endearment flash in mind like a strobe light
WhisperOctober love and a delicate signatureDaintilysinging a spirits humble vowUnderindigo seasons of air Shadowsfuse and tempo with intimacyRain
I spread the tips of my fingers against the smooth wood of my table- elongated so there’s enough room in the center for a bouquet of roses.I never thought I’d be given roses: a traditional statement.
slippery devil

delicious
naughty
of dangerous time
so, if I stay
with you
I might crave
a short walk
on the wild side
Ode: (n.) a poem meant to be sung
Hands touch, hearts jump, all of my senses start to go numb. Love strikes, arrows fly, how did he make me become so shy.
To Realize
August 30, 2018 ~ Thursday
They work hard every day to break you
So you have nothing left to go back to
Only forward
Your hands are wrapped,
Entangled in mine.
Like the blue Flowers
Apart of the vines.
Your lips are pressed
Against my rosey Cheeks,
Causing my legs,
To become mildly weak.
My stomach coils within itself
My heart throbs behind my collar
My throat sticks and sqelches
My joints begin to melt
Your eyes flit across the room to find mine
Your laugh fills my skull
We sit on my balcony sharing a cigarette "you'll never like them"when the moon catches his face as he tilts it up in an exhale.A pale glow illuminates his pale skin.He almost looks as tired as he’s tried to convince me he isn’t. In and ou
There's a definite gleam in my eyes,
the moment they set on you.
A smile comes across my face,
at the phenomenal view.
The glow from your skin,
it brightens the room;
The curves of your body
Girl you're so amazing, you're so perfect
Taking risks for your love is worth it
Your smile is radiant, it transforms me
A connection to you makes life so easy
I think I want it, I think I need it
oh my word I'm in love with him.
the way his words sound like music to my ears,
his melodic voice flowing into my eardrum
like steam blowing through a valley
the casual winks he throws my way
boys like you
don't like girls like me
I'll put my feelings first
and set myself free
I'll bite your neck
and kiss you slow
grab your hand
put on a show
The air filled with sounds of chatter and late night melodies, as the dj synthesized
Patrons shared stories swayed to the beat
Drinks of all sizes and varieties
Your scent is intoxicating
Your touch is captivating
God I want you
I want you so bad
I miss you
But I can't have you
It's not good for me or for you
This would just break us further
summer fireworks
of my heart
makes me wonder
challenging
romantic
running wild
coloring outside the line
brings new sensation
smooth electricity
up your spine
A/N: I wrote this when I was like 14, and I thought it was HILARIOUS, so I'm sharing it now, especially because I'm turning 18 this October.
I wish I was 18, or at least 23
I never saw a facethat I Saw as much as yours
that golden part
it sent me into such a spiral
wringing together hands
that invariably aimed to only touch yours;
All those things combined make me want to hold on to you forever
For worse or for better
You should already know that you are my treasure
And when we together nothing can ever measure
Your arms are my shelter
If I could find
a soft spot
a special place
that haunts my dreams
I could fly
without net
without strings
with you
without you
If I could take
a new allure
I will make love
with the Ocean
in front of your eyes
on the edge
of the fine line
with my mind open
and eyes closed
wet sand in my hair
the sense of sea fizz
Wake up, you're up
Brushing your teeth, fixing the sheets
Downstairs, upstairs
Breakfast made, not running late
When I say your suit looks nice,
I really want you to take it off.
No matter the circumstance
We'll stick together like glue
For this is our romance
And I love you
I’ll start with a love poem
Because those seem to be the easiest
And it's been awhile since I’ve tried to write anything that wasn’t
Three pages double spaced
Remember those nights.
Fire escapes and city lights.
Unmade beds and endless talks.
Counting the stars and throwing rocks.
Running around busy streets.
Wind in our hair and shoes on our feet.
Light-Up the way for me,
I'm scared of the dark.
Illuminate the blackest road,
with the brightest spark.
Light-Up my mind,
Would it be OK if I took some of your time?
Would it be OK if I wrote you a rhyme?
Would it be OK if I opened your heart?
The man who stole my heart,
Some say he didnt have one,
Some say he need a new one.
All I know is he stole mine.
Two day later,
I see him out with another,
Love is like a rose, maybe that's why roses are givin' to loved ones on special occasions
Such as; Valentine's Day, anniversaries, special events, and sometimes just to say I love you.
A love lost is no simple subject
Its complexity knows no bounds
Like the infinite space surrounding us all
Adoration is no easy emotion to be rid of for someone
When that someone holds such immense talent
Picture this:
the two of us, in bed
white sheets, black holes
No, blown pupils
we can't stop staring
you ignited
an uncouth flame
a knife to sharpen
and a thing to blame
but forever we were
another relationship
another breakup
today, our one month anniversary
she breaks up with me
after isolating herself for days
blaming me
not even trying to fix things
Life is meticulous.
it lingers on, trapped
in between the cracks
of "destiny", and "maybe".
and everything is shady
or burning in the blaze of
ray beams ...
and right now its flaming.
I want you.
I want all your nooks,
All your crannies,
All your smiles,
your tears,
your hugs,
Your kisses.
some erotic escape
I need
with your face
with the cosmos
to my aid
with a Fire
and wild desire
romantic play
and zany runway
the thunder
of the heart beating
fast
Invisible wounds from past
Haunt me through the night
In a secret cave of pain
I still feel the fire
Of our last slow dance
Swimming in circles
In the endless feeling
Of my false dreams
run away from you
from my dreams
from my fears
from the pain
you might hide
deep down
in your heart
run away from
smile and sparkle
in your eyes
Angel's Song
There is no path to Heaven
South of No North
And San Fran
Is just a Red Iron Bridge
Between dreams and gold
There is no way to Hell
Writing about you is like writing about the meaning of life
There's so many circles and wonderful sayings but no end
And I could go on about your eyes and your hands
I Want To Tell A Secret
I want to tell a secret,
No, I don't, yes I do,
I want to tell a secret
But I don't know what to do
I came home that night smelling of rain and cigarette smoke and teenage love so deep, set into my pores like the ink on my skin.
I want to paint all my walls
yellow.
So when I wake up,
I wake to the color of you.
The color that holds every sunset,
every warm smile,
all those kisses on the beach.
I am frustrated with these conventions
Which dictate love and romance.
Namely, assuming that warmth and adoration
Must necessarily be an amorous advance.
I don't like to confuse;
I'm not being coy.
I need you.
I need to run my hands through your hair.
I need to kiss your lips and your neck and your chest and your skin.
I need to draw shapes on your body with my fingertips.
When we part for the day,
I sit and I say,
"I love you, I love you, I love you."
I hide from your face,
I whisper your name,
And I love you, I love you, I love you.
Thank you.
Thank you for every second, every day, every year.
Thank you for holding me
While I cry,
And smiling at me
While I laugh.
Thank you for your time, your trust, your affection,
"Where did the connection go?" He asks as he sits on his phone, his body language screams, "Engrossed in a world that's not his own."
When I first met you, I thought you were a clever man and I respected you.
When I first talked to you, I thought you were a brilliant man and was intrigued by you.
tell me that you want a tree,
an Apple Tree.
the fruit you desire, it will produce
but, if you, plant it first.
the tree will give you many years
but, if you, will give it drink.
That smile
Broke me.
Here at the start of suffering
I let
You,
And only
You
Break my resolve
And I simply
Couldn't fight
The tears
Anymore.
You make me feel butterflies
You always make my day better
You may annoy me at times,
but nothing else feels more right
You make me smile and it will never die
You are always the first I think of
Happy 'spend a lot' day for the wrong reasons,
Don't forget to spend absorbent dollars today on roses, chocolates or other gifts to show your true love there worth to you,
You are an ocean I promised myself I wouldn't get lost in, but I went into this with no compass, no map, and no intention of asking for directions.
Let's get lost. Get in the car and drive until the buildings no longer look familiar. We can sing along to our favorite songs, ones we're embarrassed about knowing all the words to, but then scream them at the top of our lungs.
I can feel myself beginning to drown in you. My lungs are empty and I need the soft exhale of your breath as we kiss to keep me alive.
i taught you how to love again. i helped you open up your heart to more than just the familiar. the love you had grown to know.
Dear Darling,
You know how I feel.
When will you feel it too?
Will you ever?
Dear Darling,
I'm starting to dream of us.
How one day we could rule the world.
You are my prince;
I C.
I see how your heart is a diamond-
it is not neat, rather rough-
but all the world’s light is found inside it.
I C.
Eyannah,
First off, I want to say sorry,
sorry for reminding you of things that have hurt you in the past,
sorry for not listening to you,
sorry for not understanding,
I think I'm falling in love with a ghost, dear,
I think I'm falling asleep.
I see him on the edge of my vision,
singing me soft lullabies with ethereal beats.
The ghost's eyes peer out at me,
Dear, my aching soul.
Cold is summer, without her love,
dim is the sun, without her eyes,
blank is the page, without her touch,
Looking up at careless stars
Silky black stuff holding Mars
Hands just touching
Four eyes reaching
Empty pit of tar
It's been too many weekends since the one
That I called him, I asked him
For darling, sweet darling, just a bit of a pep talk
And he told me that I was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen
I know you don’t understand this, but my heart thinks about you literally every second when I’m not talking with you.
Don’t worry, my heart is thinking of nothing but you when talking with you too.
I know you don’t understand this, but my heart thinks about you literally every second when I’m not talking with you.
Perhaps I was wrong,
maybe my accusations
have been oversung.
You were, as far as I was sure,
the problem that made me fight.
But as I leave you in the dirt and move on,
it seems
To Her
Dearest, fondest one to my heart
My eyes do beweep themselves on thought of you alone
There are not many things I could say to you
That have not been said a thousand times before
Love is the butterflies that you get when you think of the things that get you obsessed
when you think of her hair and her chest and her breasts,
not because of some sex
To The One, I Confessed To
To the one, I confessed to…
I’ve felt very alone at times,
Dear Love,
I am afraid Hollywood has taught so many of us the wrong thing.
The movies and songs tell us that you are meant to last.
But you are unpredictable and surprsing.
my romanticizing eyes
leave me tired
with each sweet smile
my heart gets stolen
is it that i’m so desperate
for the love i was robbed of
Dear Beautiful Soul,
You could be the one
that becomes my closest friend.
You could be the one
for whom I would make reality bend.
You could be the one
to whom I give my heart.
She's beauty, she's grace
She's perfection down to the lace
That ties the garments around her limbs,
But that only just skims
The surface
Of the circus
That makes up her beauty;
Last night of October—we lay on the floorWarmly aligned from our shoulders to hipsBy the orange soda fizz of a loud movie scoreLast night of October—we lay on the floorIn the dusty blue attic beneath the trapdoor
I am here you are there. My thoughts are you and yours of me. Time stands still for us but only when we are still. You breathe, I feel, I breathe. You sleep, I lay wake. I sleep you lay woke. I am you, you are me.
Stars speak of what they see
Countless nights I spend surmising you and me
The moon shines bright above the horizon
Exaggerating the intense feeling, never to be gone
Even in the darkest nights
Dear The One Who Hates,
I still remember the days that we shared.
The plucking of flowers and pulling of hair.
The theories of God that would fly through our heads
Love is between a women and a man,
it will last their whole life span.
Through happiness and sorrow,
true love will last beyond tomorrow.
If strong enough is the bond,
My Dearest Lover,
I don’t believe in using metaphors
to define people.
Metaphors are romanticized.
If someone is defined by the
metaphor in which I put them in,
people no longer see the person,
Dear Me From Last Year,
hi.
yes, it's you.
this seems strange.
i am aware. but do not be
afraid; i bring good news. you
see, you have things that
are waiting on you;
last october
english class
our gaze meets
you smile and turn away
this moment, haunting my thoughts for days on end
I twist everything I've heard you say
making myself believe you like me
Mom:
You used to always say to me
you are gold.
I never understood what you meant
but being older now,
I realized
you would say these words
when I forgot how precious I was
he touched my neck
and his fingers
ran all the way down
to my collar bone
but with such grace
and love
that it didn't feel
wrong
it felt
cleansing
as if I had never
I met a boy in my dreams
He was young, only seventeen
We met on the purest day
In our beds we did lay
Warm sun, cool air
Dear future lover,
I am not easy to love.
I am unworthy. I will shower you in affection and yet feel as though I do not deserve yours
To the person I will share my first kiss with:
When I have my first kiss,
I hope it’s gentle and passionate all at once.
i found you on facebook
a while ago.
my friends and i were showing
pictures of the people we
dated to each other,
telling war stories,
we are monsters together,
huddled under the bed
of our childhood selves,
keeping each other warm
when there is nothing to eat
but nightmares.
Isn't strange.
Isn't it weird.
To know someone so well but find their favorites feel like a rubix cube.
Their favorite color a mystery
Their favorite food a riddle
I was in love with you Closed my eyes and dipped myself backwards knowing the enemy laid beside meI was in love with you And the way you talked about blue skies and how gravity tears us apart. I was in love with youWith the way you leaned over an
When she sees him her heart flies.
Yet she tries to hide her feelings with lies.
Deep inside,
She hopes they will die,
He looks at her with wonder.
She seems different from the others.
I like love in the most innocent of ways,
Like a warm hug,
And not to be swept under the rug.
I don’t like sex,
Or kissing,
Or making out.
dear inamorato,
thank you for your transient endearment.
for the fleeting happiness,
the momentary contentment,
the oft aurora rendezvous,
for your ephemeral devotion.
thank you for the hope,
This aesthetic that blooms throughout,
Lays no end to my thought ;
The blueberries lay there by the evening sprinkle of dim light
Waiting for its juice to be mushed by the gnaw,
Cross my palm with silver and I'll tell you who you are.
I'll look beyond the day to day, and study just the scars.
I'll open up your eyes and reveal your inner self.
Goodbye
I wont see you again.
We don't always love what loves us,
But please do not forget
that we laid out in the parking-lot
Buy into the aestheticI wouldn't spare you a dime
I am my own butcher
of my edifice
Not a single truth
nor a single lie
Could slow the ebbs in current
Could stop the rising tide
Back then, first gen,
It was a lot easier when
Mom and dad used to love each other since then
Fights happen, physical actions
Again and again
Sometimes I have prophetic dreams
Where I see something before it happens
Exactly the way it is, no surprises
I like it that way
‘Thermodynamic equilibrium
is defined as the state of an isolated system in which
there is no tendency for spontaneous change
a tenuous balance between unimaginable forces.’
A shaky breath
Silence hangs in the air
The word “yes” stumbles from your mouth
Because I’m falling in love with you
We are inches apart
“Dating is a chain in which two or more people gather in an enjoyable, consensual romantosexual relationship.”
That is what the textbook’s stating
But let me tell you the reality of dating
Now, don’t get me wrong
the feelingof You next to me
when You're in the room
or across the sea
est nonpareil
our love so ubiquitous
forces my blind eyes to realize
“Because I love you”
is not an apology
is not a ball and chain
is not an excuse.
It is a truth.
It is a reason.
It is a motivation.
When it is sincere
And pure
Love reminds me of a Spring Day
Just warm and light
Sun-kissed skin and soft pink lips
Green hues of bunches of fresh cut grass
Your green eyes just reflect the sunlight
You rush in like a wave of cool air
Love rains from your sunshine eyes,
Happy
Beautiful
Wonderful.
I cup my hands,
Love flooding over
In the mirror,
I dread
The ancient scar on my knee
The mysterious mark on my cheek
The great size of my thighs
The stubborn crook in my teeth
The several creases on my stomach
She walks with confidence,
Her heels clicking with each step,
She blows a bubble as pink as her lips,
Her petticoat swishing side to side,
How she hated that color,
It made her ill, it made her sick,
The color of candy corn, pumpkin guts, and unnatural cheese,
When we broke up you said
it's 'cause you never showed me love
But you never said what kind of love you were looking for
We were best friends for three whole years
Through the laughter and the tears
Something changed inside of me
When I disturbed the water lilies
The curtains stirred in disarray
But she said that she couldn’t stay
Something changed inside of me
When I sang to the water lilies
“This is it.” Society breathes,
“This is all you need.
This man,
This husband, he will tell you who you should be.”
Roses and
“You’re good at being you”Why does that make my heartStop
“You’re so extra”Why does that warm my cheeks
I’m garbage“At least you’re hot garbage”This shouldn’t tie my affections to you
It can be a struggle
To communicate.
To let the words stuck
in your throat
take a life of their own.
"You hurt me"
"I'm sorry"
"Can we try something new?"
You go every morning
Your warmth leaves my bedside
Our hands part each morning
But I know you love me.
You come home late
For you, I'll wait awake
No matter what it may be
It’s as pure as a white rose
it’s as bright as a star in the night
our love is magical
something you can see from a mile away
it’s everlasting
what we share
no one can destroy it
"I Love You"
By: Tha Thang
You might not know it
Because sometimes it's hard to see
Cuz it's inside of me
I want to show you that I love you
I don't often say it
Why do you always answer when I text you late in the night?
Why do you always ask if I'm okay?
Why do you always have things when I need them?
Why are you so good at listening?
Because I love you...
I see no flaws. I see perfection.
A true gift made from heaven.
The way you smile, how the corners of your lips begin to wrinkle.
It is never a typical day
We might just be friends
But we always have something to say
I hope this never ends
We don’t like the same song
You looked me in the eyes
Your gaze was so deep, I felt it in the pit of my stomach.
I tried so hard to absorb it all,
The way your eyelashes curved, and how those small
Green circles pried my heart open.
Face to face with my reflection
In your toilet bowl again.
I love you so much that the thrill
Of your skin and your touch makes me ill,
And the contents of inside must spill
To make room for how much I feel.
I hope you know that I do everything I can for you.
I don't have everything, but what I do have I want to share with you.
I wish I could give you more to show you the depth of my love and care.
You don’t judge me for my flaws, you take them into appreciation and pause
It may be the way you look at me or the way you make me feel
But inside I’m certain that you help me heal.
It is because of this,
Love is wrapped up in all the little things.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"Wear your seatbelt."
"Are you okay?"
Love is wrapped up in all the big things.
"You look beautiful."
"I'm here if you want to talk."
I want you to be happy.
I want to see you smile everyday.
I want you to feel beautiful.
I want you to be surrounded by people who care about you.
I want to dream big, go far, and make it all come true.
I’ve stripped these lines bare like faces that passed me by where I saw through the concealment of the outside. I’ve put my lines to the test of real investment and here my heart sits naked like body flesh.
We were the best of friends.Just barely the age of six.We knew each other ever since we learned how to add with our fingers.We became friends because I thought fate willed us to see eachother again.
True love is bringing me my favorite chocolate filled donut in the morning,
Not because I asked, but because he was thinking about me in the donut shop.
Give me the sunset in a cupand I'll trap the moon in a jar.
Give me the clouds all boxed upand I'll get the stars in a bowl.
Give me the sunshine laid out on a plateand I'll have the sky in a bag.
your eyes are as bright as the twinkling starson a cloudless nighteveryone can’t help but to stop and stareat the beauty of the earthuncovered in the night skygracefully dipped in moonlight
You are crisp summer grass, the crunch of fallen leaves
You are dandelion tufts floating on a spring breeze
You are the muffled crunch of winter's icy freeze
You are the sun and moon, the mountains and seas
Time slip beneath no wind as the purple star shaped petals glisten
Voices can be heard within the hollow air
The clouds hold heavy as it grew by the minute
I can die, for I've seen heaven I've even said her name. From one to ten, she's an eleven She's sweet, and she won't be tamed Fortune favors the bold This girl sure knows how to be She's a lion, she's a wolf She knows just what to say to me I f
Silence was...
Before you spoke.
While still in my embrace
Your voice ended in quiveres.
Asking qurries we both
didn't want to hear the answeres to.
So they stayed rhetorical.
I am happy for I have dream
To meet my faultless princess
Where my shackle eye’s will be hung for you
Because only you gave me glamorous life
My Dearest Love,
How is it that one person so entirely enraptures another?
You make my soul feel light and give my heart a reason to flutter!
The worries I once had seem to melt away at the smile you give me,
We ate and drank and laughed until we could not be filled with any more.
In the depths of the dark, the painful, you surprised me.
You, a presence, when every other thing cowered.
Because I love you I listen to you
Because I love you I support you
Because I love you I challenge you
Because I love you I pray for you
Because I love you I’m here for you on your worst days and your best days
Hold my hand
Don’t let go
Don’t leave me behind
Don’t toss me aside
Don’t tell me no
Don’t hurt my pride
Don’t disagree with me
Don’t see my faults
Don’t be picky
Don’t be rude
When I used to sleep at nightMy mind would always take flightIn the morning I'd wake up and you'd just take flight I can't stand to in my sightYea ain't nothin rightAbout you and me Us and theyHe and she ain't shit All I want to do is loveWhy can
If I believe my parents have deceived me
And that love can happen for the most ordinary of people
That it can be untainted by hatred swept under the rug
Then I've got the wedding vows written in my head already
All I could Ever Ask
I want you to succeed
because I love you
and I want you to breathe easy
because I want you
to scale the highest mountains
and swim the greatest seas.
What is purer than the wants of the heart?
The triumph of its needs.
What is friendship?
A single soul inhabiting two bodies.
What is more tantalizing than desire?
Mutual titillation.
Across an ocean of stars,
Above a mountain of garbage.
I'll show you the scars,
And my hollow of Solace.
The lily
is the flower for a home.
But Californian poppies
make me feel so home sick
Roses make me angry,
and any flower from Britain
Is a flower for a whore.
But lilies
Her eyes, brown, like dirt and ridgid with anger and pain
her hands bruised and torn
She let the fire engulf her in its flames
No one would think that him, with eyes so gray and dull and callous
A Traditional Goat am I
A Whimsical Fish are you
Yet so charming your kindness and mystique
What ever was a pragmatist to do?
A bond of emotion
Which took time to build
Until the night
Faintly shimmers the moon against the red sky.
Red like fire, or blood.
And read like a book.
It sprawls out like the text of some demented God.
Painting with words and elucidating with language
Too many thoughts on my mind Crystals form on the inside A audible tap of a pen A sign of love for them the holding of hands barriers between lands a wishful thought feelin
Strange that the woman doesn’t seem to mind.
She’s surely Celtic -- or was,
years ago. (Her skin’s too pink for the Mediterranean. Besides
the half-regretted magic on her brow
betrays her Briton-born.)
we were fifteen back then,
as we sat into the cold hard ground.
we were beneath the moonlight,
for a long period of time,
waiting for nothingness.
all of a sudden you looked at me,
We met by the sea
In the billowing greens
By the hanging tree
Where a body was seen
Swaying in summer breezes;
In the tree by the sea
You shudder at the thought of me wanting someone else.
Yet the thought of you drifting won't quell.
Even if you get board of dragging an oar
over this water of uncertainty
I have faith that you wont jump ship,
that night,
a long time ago,
when the rain poured,
and we couldnt let go...
is overshadowed today as we lie bored.
only feeling each others touch,
in our hearts.
Once upon a time,
There was a girl whose name was Cinderella.
Now most would think she was a maid,
But really she was a slave.
She was the most hideous girl in the land,
I’m in love with the kilometres between us, I’m in love with the distanceBetween your eyes and my eyes and your arms and my arms and your place and mineI like that you like what I like and that I like what you like
Writing, the power that masters the beast
That turns into something easy to caress
Into a bliss of doubt
Of fondness, just like love.
Every day he does the same.He lounges around, he gets nearbut then goes away.I always wonder why he doesn’t stay.
Words, words, words…
As Hamlet said in his primal tale
Words that prints heavenly fables that adjoins one’s appeal
She waits, silently in the lifeless yard. The sky that night, dark and starred. She lays there, waiting, its getting late. When he comes, they'll leave this fate.
I heard your voice
over my morning alarm.
Then it was silence.
I picked myself
off of the hard wood floor,
Got dressed
Reached for the door
and felt you on its brassy doorknob.
A lesson to all little boys:
A girl's heart is not a toy
Do not play tag, do not play catch
Do not play a mix-and-match
It is not for kick-the-can
It is for a grown-up man
Just be nice and shrewd and fair
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Soul after soul
Wild wanderlust
Heat of the desert
Cool of the sea,
Weight of the mountains,
Earth before me.
Endless expanses,
Horizons and sky,
As his eyes met hers, once again,
memories filled with colorful bliss
suddenly awakened,
the past quickly met the present,
but only in his mind, and only for a moment
I waited,
for a response from you,
a mere whisper perhaps.
To a torn heart thrown at you,
carved with my surrender.
A plea for my liberation,
saying " I won't longer wait for you".
I left my heart wedged between your door,
sealed,
shut,
in fear and a cheap envelope.
With an even cheaper excuse.
such a simple time
with love in your eyes
it was but a rhyme
filled with sorrowed sighs
Ivory Skin
Satin Sheets
You were MY in
But you never released
You know how it goes.
Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Ariel... They all get the guy.
Happy ending, screen fades to black, birds chirping.
Happy, happy.
Except that isn't reality.
Reality is pain.
It is a peculiar and otherworldly feeling.
It is subtle.
Subtle like a touch mark on a knife,
Or a fingerprint on a mirror.
But in the quiet of a silent hour I can feel it.
There are so many things
I will never be able to express.
But you are beutiful like stars are beutiful.
Your laugh sounds like a gentle stream
over pretty little River rocks.
Please be safe.
Darling a life without you
is a life I don't even want to try to live.
But I will for a little while.
At least untill you retern.
My heart cries,
In the dream,
I pulled the pink sash off her dress completely,
until the only pink I saw was the pink soft crater on her breasts
and to have her look at me with such intensity again
My love:
Listen you don’t have to say a word, hush.
I swear to the stars your eyes make night sky blush.
Scarlet hue washes over the moon till dusk;
Poem Slam Fairy Tale Remake: By Heidi Ortiz The Mermaid and the Princess (The Little Mermaid) Once upon a time, deep below the sea,There lived a girl who died for love.Who gave her body, milky like a hydrangea,To the indifferent man from the surfa
You used to take my breath away with just a single glance,
Suddenly appearing behind me,
You'd beg me to slow dance.
I was captivated by your confidence,
And eagerness to impress,
Sick love.
We hold each other.
So sick and tainted.
Our flesh is whole but our souls are rotten,
It's a maggot ridden love.
Our feelings nibble holes through our hearts.
She knew that loving him would be disastrous, but she was already a disaster. She knew that by holding onto his hand meant that she could be left all alone, reaching out for a hand that was never meant to touch hers.
One sided...
Could it mean the spark?
To be busy to a point
That couldn’t be announced
Plucking petals from a darken crispy rose
She looks at you and sees the galaxy in your eyes,
the ocean in your soul.
She sees the sadness in your smile.
Yet,
she loves you
with every drop of her soul's ocean.
Your hands. Soft and strong and able.
Good technique and control of mechanism.
Long, lean fingers with callused tips. Sense stolen by steel thread.
But how beautiful you make it seem.
Miraculously magical, some people may appear,
But no one's near as noteworthy when their smoke and mirrors clear.
Everyone has their own kind of magic, and it's obvious in you,
A starling.
You are my dream.
Touch my lips with your lips
Make me complete.
Not all men find love.
But all men are slaves to it.
Chained at the wrist with heartache
I haven't forgotten the girl whose name no one knew.
She never let herself be
The person people didn't see,
But she never was reason for rumors either.
She only did what made her content.
We were supposed to bike through Central Park and ride through the trees.We were supposed to take a trip to the shore and sleep on the beach.We were supposed to plant your garden and protect it from the bees.We were supposed to cuddle all night in
I need you like I need silence,
But tonight I can't have either.
Harsh words of lovers creep through this house.
Love is fake.
I know it is.
I'm too smart to believe in it but I pretend to.
The stars are your friend.
Twinkle sharp in the sky,
Against the dark, I can't decide
If your radiant or stunning.
Maybe both.
Your beutiful like bird songs.
Hard to understand,
Lover,
Stepping over
Boundaries and trials.
Leaving me was nasty business ...
Murder.
You are early morning sunrises,
And bright stars in the dark night sky.
Forgotten tea that’s turned cool,
Blanket forts,
personal diaries,
It seems I only wrote of winter
And gloomy days of fall.
My words would sting like splinters,
And scratch me with their claws.
Now that I know this life,
With springtime on my skin,
Crack crack crack this heart of stone!
Open it wide!
Murder me with loves lies!
The lies that are romance have run me through!
Your kiss was my demise,
my death bed was shared with you!
Roses are Red,
Daisys are Yellow,
Violets are Blue,
Auta is Black,
She is fair
Her hair, curly,
When she flips it backwards,
I feel this magnetic pull towards her.
My lover is a vice
She clamps down on my bleeding soul,
Reaches down to flesh and bone
to hold a beating heart of stone,
until I gain control.
And if left to my devices
I love you like I love air.
Sometimes I don't think about it.
But I find you there
at moments I need you most.
When im gasping clasping at my throat
for sorrows mote that drowns my soul,
We touch, I feel it sink in like dirreah.
"I love you"
those words squirt out like icing from a frosting tip kit,
but like a blast of steaming shit
Its a hot sweaty festering thing we call romance
Whether it comes or go's
Whether it withers like flowers
Whether it differs like fire and snow,
where you go I will follow.
I think about you more than I should
And if I knew how to make it end,
I don’t know that I would
I hear your voice in the wind
You’re a sweet addiction
I try to fight it,
But I always give in
A sun, a moon pass above without no scent
The sun has fallen for I have lost count
For how I wonder if your well
To wonder if a sheer streak still lingers
The things we realize we won’t ever obtainOh, it kind of hurts at timesSo far away from each other and I have much to sayyour voice is like flowers and it makes
We Might've Been
We might've been the curving night
- dim, blinding and empty
We might've been your mother's knife
- sharp, hard but flimsy
We might've been the tiled floors
I find myself stroking your cheek
Before I even have the chance to speak
I catch myself mid-stare
Tangling my fingers in your hair
I feel embarrassed, realizing
To me your touch is tantalizing
I wait for time to pass
until time can stop again
until I feel your sweet caress
and your kiss - like sugar cane
Who is he?
He's an endless vacation in a pinewood cabin
He is what you feel glancing out of a window into the evergreen trees at dawn
Or waking up with hope for the first time in a long while
Comfort
Serendipity
My pearl of joyful peace
Safe is what I am
When I curl into his arms, his
Heat feeling like wrapping your hands
Around a mug filled with warm cider
The way he smells...
Something deep in my stomach wants to throw up raw blades but my thighs are already covered in blood.
So people can see I’m alive, I plant a peach tree underneath bullets in my skin.
She didn’t deserve my touch.
Ambiance of a king/
Aura of a God/
Mind of a hustler/
Thoughts of a poet/
When you're in the eyes of a writer, you're unsafe/
The stars in the sky guide me when the moon is non existing/
They smile as they remember how they met.
She laughs until her eyes are wet.
He can't help but look at her face,
A moment he would never erase.
He's staring at her and he starts to laugh too.
There was once a chance I didn’t take,
She had brunette hair and a pair of brown eyes,
She had a slim figure and a contagious smile,
And I liked her.
It was you and I against the world,
Fighting and saving all our love
They said was not meant to be
But who are they to tell us
Who we love, when we love
I want to live on the moon with you.
I want to watch the slumbering earth
the amazing clear vastness of the universe,
I want to watch the stars and the shimmer in your eyes
as you stare in awe and wonder...
This silver light does shine tonight.
Your celestial body illuminates so bright
And brings this will of mine to fight.
As the moon doth draw a curtain upon the Earth,
So does my heart for your gentle mirth.
if your heart does not callmy name like it isa song, a chant, a mantra,then i ask that you do not takeanother step closer to me.
They told me that home was a place
that made the hairs on your neck
finally rest.
A place where the chills were replaced with warm
and love.
But these walls do not protect me,
remind you-
The lifeless walls
Of the
Rising elevator carrying
Nothing
Save for a
Pair
Of nervous
Smiles
“If”
All we do now is just question the feeling
Always thinking the other plans on leaving
I told you my goals a long time ago
You the one to decide to stay or it let go
Home is a warzone
Find broken dreams and venom insults from lovers thrown
Like ammunition.
For years, fight merely for recognition.
Live in deliberate malnutrition.
Rita June,
staring silent at Indiana snow,
robed up in a worn, old, pink throw
lights her cigarette by the kitchen window.
She squints and she licks her thin, blotted lips,
So many ways you put me in a daze:
Your alluring curve and masculine scent;
The way your smile assaults the haze
And rescues me from being spent,
Worn from countless hours in the craze.
You didn't have me in stiches at hello,
but you had me in stiches not too long ago.
This is a love story fraught with grief,
Cause I'm caught up bewteen you two,
my first love and you.
I knew I was yours the moment you said kiss me
The words hadn't even fully left your mouth and I was already there
My mind hadn't even registered what you said
If I see you and you don't see me
I will go DARLING
And you will know I am calling to you
Sadness reigned over her
3 years of pure sadness
Nothing, she was nothing
With one moment with one word
She is taken back
Looking at his bright green eyes,
He makes me feel butterflies.
The sun smiles bright on his face
Every time he’s at someplace.
His love is chocolate sweet,
Judah, I talked to my sister
before you left
about how i thought that, even if i don’t want a big family
i was willing to consider it, for you
judah
The problem was never
that i didn’t love you
enough
the problem was that i
i have always
loved you too fiercely
So simple in text but in words its only comes in stutters and a crimson face,
These feelings for you I can't even brace;
But I keep it in secret so you can't expect a thing,
For you were already in a fling.
At the sight of your eyes,My mind flies away,And all that remains,Are flames shining bright. When we interlock hands, That flame flows higher,Gracing my hand,Giving me hope. At the touch of your silk lips,My eyes close tenderly,And pain from days
I don't quite know how to tell you,
tell you about what goes through my skull,
when your eyes light up like neon street lights,
in a city all too far away,
I don't know what to say,
The fight is over.
I’m sinking like a stone before the tide.
The Heroes have gone
The fight is over
But still the beckoned rhythms of your voice call my name.
I didn't used to feel this cold. I was the kind of kid that kept summer within them. I went barefoot through the snow, I wore shorts late into the fall. Never brought a coat. That was before I met you.
It's quiet hours like these...
The room is dark
The moon is full
My heart is empty
Visions dance on my mind
Of times when ours was now...
And we were each other's
Look...
And never see the quiet fires in your eyes.
Listen...
And never hear your sultry sonnet.
Wonder...
And never realize your subtle charms.
Sweet tender flower...
I love you.
Been long in the Garden...
In search.
You speak to my senses...
In silent, poignant eloquence.
I long to wake with you...
Princess, Princess
The one that wear a long blouse
Who favors the colour of the fallen pink
Who woe thou soul
That sway between the gusty breeze
Your friend, my friend...
Friends again
Who else could share...
Our fears, tears, smiles, kisses, memories?
Painful time when ours is not
No heart, no mind, could replace
I can't remember feeling so incomplete...
Time and distance are a void...
Where there was you.
Loneliness, a mind possessed of itself
Groping in twilight revelation
Strangers meet, merge their lives
Shadows fade...
Time revives the highs of life
Dreams renew, nightmares die
Two hearts may find that life provides...
A refuge from their strife
Her name was Grace
But he called her Gracie.
He said it in this tone of voice
Like when a child sees a flower
That had just bloomed in the beginning of spring.
He’s a beautiful disaster,
His eyes a dull crystal blue,
Captivating and mesmerizing.
I can’t break these chains,
As I’m locked in his gaze.
The ugly duckling named vitor wanted to shoot up his ducling school because he had
no friends and he hacked peoples computers to make them shut down so he wanted to \
When sadness finds me at the end of night,creep up my body like a lover who has forgotten the meaning of no.I pick up a novel and forget my existence.
There is this boy that I once knew,
He had a barbed wire smile,
And an equally as rough kiss.
I held his shaking hands,
And kissed his scarred arms,
Ty and Me.Instantly connected.No matter how scary life may have been,We stick through to the end.Just Ty and Me.
Knowing that I could see your face
Or I could hear your laugh
Being with you
Wakes me up
Your fingers intertwined with mine
There are more than a few things
Which I am pleased about,
that wash away my stormy days,
and cleanse me of my doubt.
Sometimes they are big things
and sometimes they are small
Love and Lies
The feeling in my chest,
Is one I’ve felt before.
All so easy to notice,
Your lips crash onto mine,
Cracked, pink, and divine.
The bittersweet taste of you
Touches my tongue,
I crave your lips even more,
He got me feeling good,
With his hands around my waist;
His lips are on my neck;
Our bare chests are touching;
He has me feeling good when he is looking at me with lust.
He has me feeling good,
One day you will be kissed for the first time by someone who didn’t deserve to feel your lips
One day you will held by someone who didn’t deserve to touch your fingertips
Believe me,
After a couple years with you
I realized that my favorite color isn’t purple
It was brown
No
Not any kind of brown
My mother always said that you can judge someone’s life by looking at their hair
If it’s sticky and untamed
They’re dirty
If it’s slicked neatly back
Is that the music of your flute,Or the charm of your being around me,That mesmerizes me.O Krishna you’re the true meaning,To this Life, Love, and Soul.Your eyes charm me to the bosom.
Many titles does she hold, “Beauty’s Bearer, Earth’s Delight, Queen of Lights and Shadows
All this she is and so much more, especially to the mortal man she touched with her otherworldly glow
I remember the end of June,
Oh my, It was like my favorite song,
but except now it sounds out of tune.
We would look up,
Wondering what we got ourselves into,
I'll never tell you I like you.
I'll never admit how much better my day iswhen you talk to me.
I'll never say"I want you."
I'll never tell anyone that you're the only one I look forin the hallways.
I want to bite down, bite down, bite down
"I'm proud of you, you did it on your own."
Bite harder.
She's still trying to suck the air from my lips
I remember when I first heard you
My unexpecting ears fell in love with your rhytym
Your anger
Your subtleness
Your vulgarity
And finally your resolve
When I fell, I fell hard.
Inspiration for true love, you always remain,
With your ineffable look and idyllic thoughts,
Your dulcet expressions are very iridescent,
When two lovers are kissing in garden.
Inspiration for true love, you always remain,
With your ineffable look and idyllic thoughts,
Your dulcet expressions are very iridescent,
When two lovers are kissing in garden.
Lips red as a rose,
Words dripping with honey,
Pulling me in when everyone warns me to stay away.
Beautiful as a God,
Giving a tght embrace that draws mw in,
Lying by the bedside,With my precautionary pause,Pretending to be blasé,While overwhelmed by that curve across your face,That pierces through the opague clout,Of doubt fused with this loathing,I call home. Stuttered my way upto the room,Where they
My pussy is sticky with dirty thoughts of you
My mind is slippery with puddles of what could be true
My soul is trippy, it possesses the glee and the gloom
And my heart is iffy on whether or not I should dive into you
Hand on hand, skin on skin, touch touch
Sliding in your fingertips, touch touch
Blood is sauntering, energy is wandering
Both through the passageways of my veins
Platinum buttons is what separates your fingertips...
and the best thing that has ever happened to you...
So what are you waiting for?
As I sleep...
Life continues to happen
My chest rises and falls to the rhythm of me breathing
Although I sleep...
my heart is awake
Words so sweet never tempted to escape these lipsAs I blow the breezed flowered utterances to youI must ponder in direAre my expressions suffocating?Are my advances tiring?And I must hope in earnest
I am the river
and you are the channel;
Your deep pathways laid into existence
are ones I flow in, naively.
I am the observer
and you are the painting;
Your sunken earth eyes look at me
a simple night turning into a simple day that turns into a disaster,
man.
you are the reason love still coarses through my veins.
the reason I still dream of our moments.
you were the one and now I have no one.
Whatever is true
And whatever is right like you and me
Just like your fingerprints that are tatted on my skin invisibly
Just when I looked into your kaleidoscope eyes I knew that you had turned with the world to.
We all possess a keyed heart. <br> It is porcelain; without a cloak. <br>Scratched, lacerated, and marred.<br> It knows not of the impact, <br> but only sinks into the misery <br> bestowed upon it.
Sex is a duet, sonNot a solo songI plead guilty for singing alonePlaying my Organ all aloneWhen I was youngYea, I was wrong. So wrong!
My heart beats fast like a BugatiEvery time thoughts of you zooms past my mind like FerrariYea, I love carsBut not as much as I love you
I found a snowfall kind of boy
One who just silences the world,
when he comes around.
It takes a delicate touch
to keep a snowflake
I cannot say
That have such a touch
The breeze is a seasonal fling,
A swagger that comes by surprise,
Swooning my entire existence
An invisible veil inviting me to come unto it
To embrace what it has embraced on many
What’s the use of lacrimating hallow tearsthat spill over past and future worries?Past and Future have gone astray,despite your dismayhave you forgotten? Past never was and future will never be,
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).
Where are we
Is it Rome, Pari?
Could my heart be in love yet my knees still feel weak?
Is the air filled with sweet uncomforting songs
The first ray of light
at the break of
dawn
The sunrise seeking
out of the
clouds
The sunset slowly drifting
away from the
horizon
I don’t know what you’re doing to me, but I like it.
I never knew what a trip like this was like.
Addiction is calling me, or is it distraction?
Such a powerful connection I never thought possible
brittleand fullof dust,
my soulis ancient—bones,buried deepbeneath.
waiting
to be discovered,and hereyou are,the archaeologist.
Monday
I walk into the shine,
Admire buds with
Beauty fine,
And thorns that
Kiss
With subtle prick,
And stems
That by the day
Grow thick--
I smile
At my rosebush pick.
You always linger
After you leave,
Like coffee stains on paper
It's only heart that stands
so still
But hands and voice still waiver.
I'm fine until I see
You there
Then breath becomes a labor
Time stays slow
As I sprint towards gold,
Thousand miles away,
I just can't seem
to run fast enough
To having your company.
and so many things remind me of you
always of you, and you, and you
i’m reminded of your hands, and the way your neck curves to meet your shoulders
the way my shirt hangs off of you like its ten sizes too big
Bell Glass
I try to cross the thresholdsI try to shovel poetry in glass bottles eaten by the seaSome BellJar note washed ashore,some ancient hand had written
Begone, cruel Mage! I spit disdain at thee!
By Belladonna’s lips thou couldst be kiss’d
Or drown’d beneath the darkest, briny sea
I’d careth not, and thou wouldst not be miss’d
I lovethe way she shovesme down on the bed.Our heads/
spinning,with sweetnessbetween the sheets beginning.

ONE. We meet.A while later, we start talking.Later still, we discover that the term "soul-mates" doesn't just apply to the romantically inclined.
Why is it that I feel this earthly pull
Whenever I draw close enough to you?
The warm within your eyes will feed me full.
I know that this connection must be true.
But gravity, the one force that attracts,
The man who trained fireto flit from his lipsfell in love with the womanwho sangwith water’s voice.
If you weren't an ocean away, would that be the difference to make you stay?
If you got on one knee and put a ring on my fourth finger, would that be enough to make you linger?
She once knew a man who made her forget the difference between the sun and the moon. Someone who stood up before she even felt the need too.
I'm sitting hereStaring at walls and Scribbling at thoughts. This is when I imagine you, and Your unique, soft kiss that twists and turns My thoughts and causes my doodlesTo turn pink and red, Little spots taking over my mind, That conforms in you
Have you sailed the red glass sea
Oh, foreign fairest royalty
Have you seen the dual sunset
Oh, gorgeous, lovely, dear brunette
Does your crown weigh slight too heavy
Oh, highness, love, oh, dear majesty
My Dearest Jennifer,I hope this letter finds you. I hope and pray that you'll treasure this; my words of truly profound and deep love for you always and forever!
There’s this soft shirt you ownI like it when you wear it because it holds onto your perfumeAnd I can bury my face in your shoulder or rest my chin against your neck and take you in
I do not like having to squint.
The bright lights are unwelcomed, I do not like the way it glints
against the tile on the floor, or wood on this desk
Grabbing the glistening hands of yours
Twirl of orchids fell above us
Your Blanche face glows
Precious as gold
May I know how it feels to hold?
Friendship is not enough;
even those I consider closest
are blind to my depths.
On their own, my walls don’t break down
to reveal the coarse gravel of my wounds.
My features are not eroding naturally:
I love when it rains like the Heavens are crying
And I wonder if it’s that or something interstellar
Maybe the stars are happy and the clouds were watching
So they cried tears of joy
Maybe He saw that we needed rain
"I'm melting in your gentle arms
This is the sweetest form of harm.
Please hold me closer; your light is soothing
I'm lost in space, although not moving
And when I die, don't let me go
From a distance they discussed
The scorns of love and pain of lust
A fire burned within the room
An icy presence ever loomed
But their words were much the same
The ice was glad she over, came
The flame, she danced, above the lighter
The base: the bishop; the top: the mitre
And as she danced, her red eyes saw
A beauty, elegance, dropping-jaw
So she spread along the floor
Me 'appeny dip be swayin', Marlin
Hold me shakin' limbs, let 'er not sink
We both be Swayze, stoke on trent
Us antiseptics ain' not mean what we's meant
King death in and king death out
a pair of tired eyes, resting over a pair of
lips forever longing for a kiss
even an unpolluted night sky could not outshine her brilliance
x'd out eyes gaze upon this beauty, eyes of none other than
I convinced a scientist to unstitch my DNA,
to tell me what it said inside, and when she
translated the nucleotides, A-T-C-G,
from Morse into the mother tongue, she
Bloody carnations, stamped down flat into sizzling concrete;The smell of their demise is sickly sweet.It's caught in my lungs, filling them up as thoughAll the air I now breathe is just tar--
I need your gentle fingers
To grace my skin
As your warm arms embrace me
And hold me together
I need your soft lips
To linger on each syllable
As your words
Talk my mind off a cliff
Naomi De Jong
Beloved Gem
On an island surrounded by the eternal sea,
What a precious jewel I keep with me.
This stone carved in an image of perfection,
You creep into my mind
And it's like I can't be sane without you.
You kept me high all the time.
Your touch was so intoxicating.
All I want is to have you in my arms again
And hear your voice next to my ear.
This morning, for once,
I don’t look past the window pane.
I find comfort wrapped in bed sheets,
Outside there’s only rain.
Never would I trade this view;
I Need❣
I want to be be with someone who will call me at 3 am to make sure I'm okay.
I want someone who will make me feel like I'm the prettiest, smartest, and coolest girl in the world.
Without you, my dearI'm useless, you seeYou don't believe it nowBut please, listen to me A day without you Is like a bride with no ringA bird that can't singPing pong with no ping A bell that can't chimeA song without rhymeA year lost in timeWhat
You make me feel like I could climb a mountainYou make my heart feel like a golden fountainLike I could start a warOr I could open a charityI could cleanse my soulI could find my self-clarity You are the only thing I needAn ocean of blue isn’t who
Tell her that you can't promise that you'll remember her favorite color- but that
you'll remember the experiences you've had together
tell her that you will always remember the butterflies you got whenevr she was around
An IslandA SeaWould mean nothing to meIf you were far away.
All the food in the worldAll the prettiest pearlsWould pale in comparisonTo you.
When you are away I am lost and afraid
You are the light to my day,needless to say I have no direction when you are away.
When my life is in pieces
“I should've smashed it… I should've smashed it…”
A savage smile graced her face in insane glee
Pacing back and forth
Heart racing
Thud-dump...thud-dump...
Trickles of crazed laughter dripped from her lips
I can't live without the constellations
In his eyes.
Or the way his chest moves
When he sighs.
I can't live without the sunshine
In his laugh.
Or the weight in his feet
From the past.
He wanted her to heal his heart
She wanted to give him her heart
He has felt pain and so has she
She does not fear it, for it is how she can see
See into his soul and deeply understand
Before you I was bent,
A twisted Quasimodo praying desperately to be your Esmeralda
Begging for your love to fill the empty cathedral of my heart
So one day all of France could see my inner beauty
i don't think i'll ever forgethow your hands felt on my neckin the backseat of our best friend's car. youtraced lines of poetry down my spinewith hands covered in glitter and lust.my
I drink her love in, parched
And blow it out, gentle, like smoke
It flows in rings that surround her face like a frame
As if to say "look!!!" with cautious desparation
I choke on the heat it brings
We became friends in 11th grade English, her and I.
I wish more than friends, but there was another guy.
A guy she had dated the last two years.
We all have that one person that we'll always love, No matter what they have done to us, We will drop everything to be with them, Even if that means us letting our guard down and being hurt again, We would rather be happy for those few days with t
Just the two of us surrounded by the sea
On an island a small as can be
No homeland in sight, no savior to be found
Here from a ship that was westward bound
Alone, no that's not right.
I need 'him' there right by my side.
At least I have an ear to talk right off.
Someone who will speak right back.
We can joke around to make time past.
How could you have let her go -- That girl, the red-haired angelWho looked at you with the fire of summer sunsAnd her heart icy like winter moon?
Sorrow drop above the sky today
Listen, the whisper cries as they fall by your ears
Splash!
There goes another perfect shapeless teardrop,
Let me fuck your body, make love to your mind.
You do not critcize, simply coincide.
Just like the leaves, you shall fall in time.
Like success, darling, you shall be mine.
I do not need
the hair on my head
the skin on my back
or sheets on my bed
I do not need
the food that I eat
the water I drink
or the shoes on my feet
I do not need
airplane basslines grind cityscapesand we're swaddled in prisms of electrical amber; your love's so easy to swallow and it feels like we're glowing,it kills me so slowly- gentle,temperamental
Watching you sleep is like watching the moon
you are so far away and so close at the same time
and when I press my lips to your cheek I see light
Frozen white petals laid beneath my sole
Such despair have an untold trail
Life long lingers of endless love
Together a day of teaseful lust
I often spend many a sleepless night,
Wondering if I could make things right.
I know of your hatred of me,
Six hundred years. Her eyes never catches his during this time period, never hears the sweet caress of his gentle voice. Six hundred years. Another passes as the sun sets for the sixth time.
Three Words.
Divided in relevance, United in intent.
Three Words.
Seeking for answers, Longing for reply.
Three Words.
Yearning for truth, desiring full power.
Pounding Hearts. Quickening breaths. Two souls meeting at a crossroads One pulls away, attempting to flee The other rushes towards, grasping the victim into his embrace Dreams of this love never soared through her mind.
I. Love. You.I love you more than there are stars,I love you more than the distance between galaxies,I love you more than words can express,I. Love. You.
I have had a love affair with the idea of you
You are like a tiptoe and then a hurricane
Dancing so softly on the edges of my mind
She was like a meteor falling down from the sky
If only I can catch her, maybe she will be my farewell
It’s not like the passage of time that heals,
Emerald amber mixes in between
the eyes that I stare into, and pray I am unseen.
Glass fogs and the words appear
to be smudged into my quaking fears.
Nose curved like a bell
Every time you smile
Every time you laugh
I can't stop smiling
Every time you move
Every time you dance
I can't stop watching
Every time you talk
Every time you sing
Sweet Amaryllis,my stunningcrimson flower,pierces her hearttime and againwith pridefuldetermination& a glinting,gilded arrow.How many nightshas she waited,a smile playing
Smooth skin. Like butterscotch, tan and creamy. I don’t believe that I have ever seen a single blemish on your body. You’re white, but that odd sort of white that you don’t see too much of.
Let me steal you away with a couple words.
Bring your heart up high, higher than the birds.
Take away your breath, for its mine to keep.
Pull you in my arms, til you fall asleep.
I don't need a Hercules who is in love with himself
I don't need a Zeus who will just prop me up on the shelf
I don't want Hermes since he's always on the run
I sit up at night with you on my mind...
Minutes, hours, I lose track of time.
Your beautiful face, your flawless skin
I pray to be with you before my 'amen'
Your smile can light a bright spark in this heart,
There was a time where a brilliant scholar was known for his intellect and kindness. However, his thirst vengeance clouded his judgements. His mind and soul became polluted. What caused his undoing?

How can I understand what you say behind the lines of those silent words of exclamations?
How can I understand what you are trying to say when I cannot hear your voice, ...you don't pick my calls...because you were busy.
WHERE ARE YOU, LOVE!?
Where are you oh love,
That tears my heart apart,
With waters of loneliness?
Where are you oh love,
That puts asunder, what the wind of joy tries to tye together?
We live In a land where the people romance the reality Instead of embracing and facing the realism In attempts to make it better for these little boys and girls Not realizing they are implanting pessimism Causing their minds to be closed with fr

When one could waltz right in?
Why flirt with the edge of infinity
When you can dive in, head first?
"A secret?" he asks.
A cute and airy one.
Or maybe just the favorite,
Name you want to name your son.
Dear sweet and putrid Flower
I find myself riveted by your solitude.
And there is no better method for passing the day
In this jail-cell we call freedom
By the kinsmen of tomorrow and the men who are present
The women shall shine with radiance and thus we shall march
As love blossoms in spring and amnesia comes in the winter
she wasn't ever a very good liar and when she did lie
it was impulsive and she felt unclean
but she doesn't know doesn't understand
if it's his karma or some unpsoken unofficial
this is not romance, she thinks
she sees the world in its barest form learning all of its secrets and nuances and
believing that
in essence
everything
truly
was black and white
My hands are often cold,
like ice, like the Arctic.
I dont know why.
I must tuck them into my lap,
just to warm them.
But when I'm with you,
they get hotter,
like the heat of a fireplace,
mind twists like a hanger that’s rusted and bent
dangling off of the clothes rack all metal and dents
if you asked me I’d tell you I don’t have a clue
evergreen forest
and blue wintry eyes
vines that consume
every fear, every lie
a five-petaled flower
adrift on a tear
the love song hangs unspoken, there for you
to steal from my lips as you stole my heart.
and now there’s nothing that I would not do:
I’d barter, kill, and for your love I’d starve.
Everyone wants to find the love of their life.
We entrust a stranger with our thoughts,
souls, and our entire existence.
Does the very thought of it frighten you?
With chapped lips and an aching heart,
I dream of glaciers drifting apart.
Heavy tears freeze as they graze air,
a blizzard arises as I feel your stare.
I recall the first day you loved me,
There was a couple who lived for each other but he considered himself an outcast, a no one.
Two hearts that were one, just like two burning stars.
Her creator created a star for every day their true loved burned.
I'm sorry that I'm so sensitive.
I'm sorry that I feel whole when you speak.
I'm sorry that I'm relentless.
I'm sorry for being weak.
Cupid is dead
And Venus is fallen
They've run out of lovers
And suitors to call them
They've left you poor souls
To be lonely instead
For Venus is fallen
And Cupid is dead
The sun is a favorite star
until it sets.
Then there is only you.
Shining in a brilliant darkness,
you and I
in an ocean of messy stars.
I am so small in this place.
This place
If I see a day, may I know the night
For in the darkness, you hold me tight
Carry on my sweetest soul
For tomorrow shall bring us closer still
And though,
As I lay down to sleep
I feel his dark shadow cross my mind
His fedora tilted low upon his face
A black suit and long cape his trademark.
He smiles softly.
I want someone.
Someone whose thoughts will collide with mine.
Someone whose thoughts shall make love with mine.
Someone whose on the same wavelength as me.
Someone who can fuck with me.
You won't even begin to understand how I feel about you!
Why can't you look my way?
Maybe even say hey?
Can you just speak for a day?
Could you please be potential bae?
On nights when onyx raindrops start to fall,
I’m often met by memories that I miss.
The way you shone, like Helen, o’er them all,
The way your ruby lips had felt to kiss.
I think of how I held you ‘neath the sky,
The core of my affection
something he will never see.
I shoved it down beneath
and I never let it free.
He must think he is hated
Because I never acknowledged him.
But when he is around
Last night we laid in our bed and giggled about absolutely nothing. Whispering in our dimly lit room, my head pressed against you, I heard the rhythmic thumping and slow gentle rise and fall of your heart beneath your chest.
In those perfect awkward momentsThe lingering tendrils of laughterWith your curly hair in a wicked mess
I met a boy
on the outskirts of campus,
playing a game of frisbee.
his eyes shined like oceans
shimmering in the very depths
of the beauty in
the place mermaids call home.
Your lips give juice from the sweetest fruit.
Your dick gives pleasure like an unworldly treasure.
Your soul is not humdrum; it's much like the sun.
take it off so i can take you off
you squirt like a fire hose on full blast
i love the way you ride me and how you bounce that ass
as our lips contact our bodies overheat
Dear Gatsby, When I look at you I see yellow, but mostly black. When the fireflies fly The ladies sway to and fro’. How long have you wondered? Through the big lights. The perilous carriage. Unlike the past we no longer adjourn the future.
I use to feel like I wasn't enough
For anyone to cherish or place above.
I use to feel like I wasn't enough
Unless it involved emotionally detached touch.
My heart is light like a feather, dark like night.
Your heart is warm like a fire, brighter than the sun.
Fire and ice, I'm dark, you're light,
But if you mix it right, it can be paradise.
Alas; woe to my eyes--
Let them not see.
The object of my affection
Cares not of me.
I've aligned my mind, body and soul in perfect syzygy:
The Moon is my mind, projecting a faint glow in the darkest of places,
which still remains a mystery to even myself
Have you ever looked at someone and felt completely warm?
In the coldest of winters they filled the holes in your heart with patches of summer.
You couldn't look at them without smiling or urging to share a laugh.
Her touch is a push and a pull,
It'll have you losing your mind and at the same time heal your soul.
A savage she is.
She'll claw you like a piece of meat,
While the beast in her kisses your lips.
To have our lips grow closer and then touch,
so we may feel each other.
(A prerequisite to tasting,
“Go with your gut feeling."
I don’t feel anything
Except the heat from my brain
Coupled with the pain of thinking of him
Cause I can’t, Won’t let myself stop thinking of you
I don't believe in them
Especially when people play the roles
I'm sleep, thinking I’m dreaming them
I met a boy and asked him what he thought of our relationship
You're a devil. You're a menace.
No more love for you is your penance.
You're irrational. You're belligerent.
How stupid was I to think you were different?
Your birthday's on the clock is teasing me
Should I have let you leave?
Come back if you care
God please lead me to where I need to be
I trust that you or who will be with me
Love blooms like pretty eyelashesunsuspecting fly landsvicious Venus snaps her preyrips him to shredssucks him dryheartlessa carnivorous plant!

I feel like a mime, doing eye-catching sign language to someone that is legally blind, but hopelessly I'll continue to look,
Always or never
now and forever
down for whatever
ready to ride whenever
ready to ride to the moon
no matter the weather
never too late or too soon
with you everything's better
you be my light
I was once a goddess searching for my god,And he appeared to me in a wheelchair.But that's okay.
Sometimes days are bad.
Then I think about grilled cheese
Grilled cheese is awesome.
Your mind is an ocean, wide and wavering.
Your voice is a drug that I find myself savoring.
You are made up of something more than cells and body parts.
I love you so but you're not near
So far away and now I fear...
You'll soon forget about me,
The memories and everything in between,
The time we spent of laughter and smiles
If I could wish for somethingIt would be the smile you bringYour smile rises on my lipsMakes the scented flowers Bloom In the backyard of my heartI wish I could touch the scentThat I smelled just now
When I see your light brown eyes my voices go quiet
When I see your smile I feel all my problems go away
When we hug or touch I feel to be so lucky but not worthy
When I see you do good, it makes me want to work harder
A LANGUAGE GUIDE BOOK FOR THE BOY WITH THE BLUE EYES AND MUSIC IN HIS VEINS
How are you?
Adrenaline rose and we got out
And stopped to stare and look about
A frightning scene, as it should be
Still I moved close for him to hold me
Scary monsters breathed in my face
Violet is her. Violet is the erratic beating of your love-sick heart. Violet is your mind un focusing as it wanders aimlessly towards thoughts of her. Violet is the knowing smile she gives you as you approach her shyly.
Love Letters
Nobody writes love letters anymore,
Whatever happened to holding hands and opening her door,
I was told a lot about lust
That I’d taste my lover on my lips
As I lay there in my lonely bed at night
I said I’d wipe the flavor from my mouth
Love is bitter, dry, and trite
I was thinking of what to give you when i dived into a world of dreams and imaginations.
Tick tock, goes the clock, as I'm just waiting
For your mind to click, realize, and see
I want you. I feel the bittersweet sting.
Wish you would feel the same way about me.
I'll never regret the day I met you.
You have brought so much joy into my life.
I won't leave your side, even when asked to.
I hope one day you will make me your wife.
I was born with the sun in my teeth and hair
with mercury pouring out of my fingers and toes
Unburdened with the notion of needing to be anything
at recess I practiced the sprinkler
so I could be everywhere at once
The sunshines through your eyes I swear they’re made of gold
Blue stained with crystal, leading to stories of the soul
I think of you almost every hour, nothings really changed
find your own bliss.I found it inlovesickness.found it in lyingawake in bed,closing eyes tightto imagineyour headresting softly next to mine
You're transparent as glass,
but glass reflects,
and I’m tired of being your panoramic affect.
I linger
I stare
I play with your hair that shines in the sherbet sky
my eyes burn yellow and orange
I've forgotten you've scorned
any notion of touching you
She perches herself in front of her mirrorResting on a peach vanity stoolBlack lace accentuaes her curvatureShe removes the eleastic band from her bunGolden vines caress her shoulders
Choke
Choking on bile
Fresh from my soul
My eyes collect
The wretched substance
I will fight
Never let the monster out
Please,
Turn around
Your innocence,
It blinds me
Was it worth it to look at me..
and then walk away.
Was it worth the smile,
the enegry you put into charming me.
You taught me to care,
to believe in myself.
But you lied.
yes, the confusion is real
I try to figure you out
but it's like I'm mentally ill
especially that chemistry
it's just like begging to spill
'cause baby you know you got it
with like far more appeal
His fingertips brushing over her velvet skin
Flash through her mind as she catches his azure gaze
He lifts a corner of his luscious lips
Striking a chord of her heartstrings
Should I keep trying to write poetry with my tongue with every person that I kiss
Or should I let the bitter hopelessness continue to eat a burning crater in my chest?
Girl to me your beauty is constructed ingenuity
conducted by the command of our God who makes no mistakes
if I could describe your love I'd say
it is a river a giver of life giving the right substance to live off like
Together we walk hand in hand
feet tingling on the soft silky sand.
Her smile brighter than the sun.
Chivelry is not dead, it has only spread to the men
Inocence, instead, has met it's inevitable end
For once there was a question weather to hold her hand
Trembling limbs, deep breaths, trying to stay calm.
Warm lips; wandering hands, clothes slip down to the floor.
My soft voice asks the question; his, surprised, answers.
These Castle Walls are stronger then they look. I don't have the power to break them down, not as it took to raise them up. I don't want to destroy this beautiful master piece. Whoever built this, must have alot to worry about .
Hoping for destination, she
gropes toward brightness,
across spaces like tundras.
as the stars shine out my window
i can only think of the glimmer in his eyes when we kissed for the first time,
before they became dry
and as the cold wind freezes me to the bones
gives me chills to the bones
Almost everything in daily life
You're there
We were there
We listened to this
We sang to that
We ate here
There
We kissed here
We just talked there
You liked this
I really don't need your shit
I don't want it
Don't have to take it
Don't need to hear it
I live with the memories of the past
What I've done
What I've said
Who are you to remind me
Being left all alone
After all the effort put in
The effort wasn't noticed
It was that or a step forward
Many steps back
I could say there were times when I didn't care
I won't like
Though we have similar tastes,
Interests, and humour,
it doesn't make us for each other.
Despite what others may say,
we have markedly different dreams,
Desires, aspirations.
The things we look for
She walked; no, walked could not describe the way she moved.
She glided down the hallways, turning every head like the giant wind turbines that littered the plains she lived in and dropping every jaw like the first leaves of autumn.
Though the sand
may be washed by the sea,
and the old will be lost in the new,
well four will not wait for three,
for three never waited for two,
and though you will not wait for me
It's hard to put these thoughts into words,
My heart won't tell my mouth what it should say.
Thoughts of you flutter in my head like birds.
Why wait for tomorrow? I'll start today.
The night sky brings old affairsto trample my mindinto a heap of despair
The scent of your skinIt warms my mind, hauntinglike a shark surrounding
You look beautiful, as the sun is settin
Your face glimmers along with the Heavens
On a scale of one to ten, you're an eleven
You must be why God rested on day seven
You are so fine, so so fine
I loved your hands.
Loved the way they worked at my back when I was sore
but my god, I hated them!
I hated the way they'd shake when you'd miss a pill
hated how natural
a cigaret fit between your fingers
In our finite moments of happiness
I stare into your eyes as I float in space
So many stars, so many memories
This is our life together
By the pull of gravity our hearts encircle
You held me
Caressing flesh
Tracing curves
Turning your porcelain skin in circles
around mine
My body, scarred
lived in
Yours smooth
Drained and deranged,
I dreamed I could build beauty.
Blueprinted, diagrammed
Just a god in a cage.
Some words will never be heard, but it doesn’t mean that they will go unsaid.
It is in the speaking of the word, not the hearing, that the word comes alive.
God's HeavenWritten by Adam M. SnowA vision splendid of the Heavenly scene,filled my mind with an image so clean:
Whispers in the WindWritten by Adam M. SnowEntrance me with your tune,that gentle voice of yours.
This Lost LambWritten by Adam M. SnowOh by the morning strike of dayand by the calm obscure of night,
A smile that beams brighter than a thousand sunrises;
The warmth to melt a frozen heart, and allow it to feel.
Who could have thought a chance meeting in Autumn,
Would grow into something so pure and so real.
You are the part of me that
was always there
but couldn't wake up until
your gentle spirit
rustled me awake.
Suddenly,
but smoothly,
My sunlight,
you bring the daytime smiles
and keep them from slipping.
One table for two.
We wake from slumber
in a café of our own,
settled in the heat of blankets
I want to see you, you say.
And so you see me
through the sage green stitches
of my grandmother's crocheted yarn,
And so you see me
Lying above the cherry-cola leather sofa.
And so you see me,
I wear my heart on my sleeve.
My love is open and true,
Although in reality only meant for you.
I keep my heart in my head,
For logic and reason protect me from pain.
Love freely give can taken with no gain.
I don't want devastating love
So forget Olivia Pope and her definition of love
I want simple, genuine, unadulterated love
I want my love to not be complicated
I want my love to be practical
Asking again
"What do you think?"
"What color does she prefer
blue, purple, or pink?"
"Am I too short, too weird, my thoughts abstract?"
I don't even know why you ask me that.
There's just something about kissing in the cold
At night, of course. This would never get old.
Like when you're outside saying goodbye,
And he pulls you in close so your bodies collide.
Your misery to me is totally attractive.
I love the way your tears taste, or at least i would if ever sampled,
Your sadness entices me, makes me feel like I’m not alone
You are my oasis.
The sky is blue, blue waters, bright sand,
you are the water that turns my desert into a beach,
you, shade of the leaves that rewrites trials into isles of paradise,
To be a thing of staggering perfection,
Unlost in a crowd of typography,
But not to the masses of passerby,
Rather to one specific soul
Who sees a light in dim, dust rooms
Night for dreaming.
Day for living.
Day and night teaming.
However, dreaming at night seems misgiving.
At night, thoughts come wondering like I am lost.
Like thinking of you is a crime.
My summer love, with the passion of the sun's warm rays
and by night you're a gentle breeze, giving ease to a busy day.
Can i drift away in your silhouette?or just stare consciously at the road aheadfor technique is lucrative in the battlebut whats a battle if you're already deadlisten carefullyI'm planning to subvert the misfit
I taught you all the things I knewDevoted my time to theeSo you could join in playing the grandly newRomantic symphonyAn autumn evening we walk aloneEach tree ridden of all its leaves
Your eyes are just eyes
and your voice is just the rush of air thorugh vocal chords
But every time you look at me
I am blinded by the sight of your smile
They say my people's eyes are like this
Here I am,sitting in this abandoned house and
all I can hear over the sound of that stupid fucking clock…
tick tock tick tock…
is the sound of your voicein between hitched breaths
saying my name.
You can find me
where the
dust sparkles
in the window
from the sun's rays
You can find me-
there
I'll be hiding
beside the curtain
blending into the wall
The romance and the bliss
the honeymoon phase, that special kiss.
I want so badly to be held tight,
to be smothered in your love and to sleep with at night.
Is my hair ugly?
Do I talk too much?
I guess it's just not meant to be,
I started out hiding the true me,
I really like you,
That's why I called you boo,
You were my heart and still are, and it sucks that you're mad far
Why am I nor happy?
I have such a big porch for me alone.
I have the life that no one else owns.
I have gold that no other holds.
Why am I not happy?
I have all I want,
But something stands.
Speak your mind
Free your mind
Work your mind
Trap your mind
Speak your mind
Leave your mind
Harm your mind
Corrupt your mind
Say no
Say yes
Say hello
Say goodbye
When you kiss me, I scream intoyour mouth as hard as I canso every time you puffa cigarette, youmight think of me.
I want to rip out my heart to get rid of the pain.
Im not ready for the next lifetime.
Just take this feeling in between my breast away.
Make the time go pass.
When you're out of my mind.
Wake me upin the middle of the night.Knock on my doortil I turn on the light.Tell me you’ve seensomething out of a dreamin the skytonight.With a nudgeyou’ll persuade me
I am living but I'm not alive
Everynight I let myslef cry
I go to sleep hoping to never wake up
I am living but I'm not alive
I've gone through things and I wish I died
I wake up but I'm still dead
"Why must love feel like a heart attack"?Some may sayCausing our hearts to sputter one final beatThump, thump, shhDifferent types of love lause different types
Love bites on his lower lip
Little reminders scrawled all over her hips
Light and gentle fingertips
Lively skin curves beneath his grip
Her back arches under his touch
A reaction that he loves too much
I am holding a bladeUp to my wrist In the knife all I see is lies upon liesBut then I see youAnd your little blue eyesYou say put the kinfe down AuntieOr I will crySo I put down the kinfe
I find myself lost as if I fell from a peak
The mountain I stand on is no more
Tumbling down a sea of diamonds – all unique
Part of an avalanche, a moving floor
Our two bodies pressed up together
The warmth from his chest seizes my body
His hands glides from my shoulder to my back and up again
I am willfully intoxicated
In love with his very touch
If a sinner is what I'm called to be,
Take the halo away from me.
Take away what makes me a saint,
my angel wings you must taint.
Make me a criminal to the core,
From dawn 'till dusk I am enclosed,
In my own world yet so exposed.
Passing by, a mere obsever,
Using distance as my life's preserver.
Close enough to touch, too far away to see,
You left me a Kiss of Love
Like a dove
You lips were smooth
Fresh and clean
Coming onto me
My Lovable Sweetheart
Starlight eyes
Never leaving mine
Against your thighs, like pillows
Wedding Day
Grand in beauty
Shining brighter than any city
Rose’s rocket skyward
Together
Alone in the shadows,
No more, ended suffering
i feel him on my nerves my fucking last nerve.
He’s tap dancing on it
the points of the god damn shoes cutting into the tendrils
Beauty came and beauty died,
the beauty of our love inside,
our hearts crying out with pain,
please take my pain away.
Let me feel the pain,
coming down like the rain,
I never knew what love was like
That was until I met you
How could I forget?
Your smile, your eyes the way you fret
It made me feel like I was invincible.
All that changed one day.
Have you ever fallen in love with a simple routine?
Waking up to the warm glow of the sun,
Slipping out of bed with a whisper and a yawn,
Feet touching the lovely cool floor.
It’s such a simple act,
I feel the breeze
A brush of stinging air
My breath steams through
Like smoke in the atmosphere
Your eyes raw
The way he held me made me realize
That perhaps I was capable of feeling something like love.
Not the sappy, uniformed kind;
some raw, passionate almost illegal sort of love.
When he looked at me,
It's completely natural to me,
Like I've done it all my life,
It helps to take away the pain,
The way they treat me is wrong,
It helps to take it all away,
It helps relieve the stress,
Treat me like your favorite book.
Handle me with care as I'm slightly damaged from ware.
Know every inch of me not just the title on the cover or a quote here and there.
What is a want and need compared to a desire?
i want money, need air,but you i desire
for you are the one i want to acquire
the one i want to see after work when im tired
I used to think that love was a song that was only sung by pretty girls, no nerds or fat ones needed, just ones that rocked worlds.
A night to remember, a spin and a glideas we make our way through the aisle.I was too young when you left my side.
Soft then Sad then Sinister Sally,
Answered the Call from the Man in the Alley,
Croaking and Crying and Craving a Cure,
that Poor little Girly was Foolish for Sure.
One who gave me Love
Delicious and delicate
Fine curves and edges
Perfect imperfections
Tear drops of you
Every shutter
I can only remember
Finding myself so close
To someone who knows
The same pain
The same game
Compatible with me
Someone who can see
One thing I would change, with a poem:
Yeah, and it's funny how it goes
sitting in my room and finding all your clothes.
and I laugh, I laugh but I pull them to my face
To my honey sweetheart <3
Upon this night
I say in right
From twilight night
To GOD down to you
Hollow Ghost of Red Heart
Ominous with frantic rage
Yet vindictive under the Vail
Luminous as starlight nights
Breathing Just Fine
Held under water
Gazing upon him
We fight for a way out
The sea blue runs black
If I was asked to define love,
I would say that it was the way
we fell into eachother's arms
On the 30th of October.
If I was asked what it feels like,
I would say it feels like the way
This world is against us. Society doesn't accept us. We are an army of two and that is all that matters. I love you and you love me and that's all that matters at the end the day. Fuck what everyone else says.
Homeless individuals sleep with dreams of what they used to be
Now they have moved on leaving the new generation drowning sea to sea
No education, no temptation, to get a dream fulfilled
Have you ever wanted to write a poem for someone because having a normal conversation just doesn’t work for you?
Hear me out
My love.
The sun rises each morning
To greet you.
Its eternal heat aims to keep
You warm.
It is strange that I had never touched a cigarette until I had remembered how the taste would linger in my mouth after I had kissed you?
I try to find myself, but I've been lost for forever. It's like I'm going in a circle so you'd think I'd know better. I'm somewhat lost in a trance, I can't find myself. Took 34 pills disregarding my own health.
Eyes swelled up with tears,
As i said goodbye to YESTERDAY.
The promise of romance drowning in the ocean of my heart.
Fear hinders our progress towards better times
where we need not be alone,
it suffocates lights and welcomes darkness
into our mind's own home.
Fear grips the souls of men
in a way no human can,
Kiss me nowKeep me closeHug me when you need me most. Say goodbyeSay helloOnly you and I would know. My heart beats
Love is rich
sometimes its a bitch
or a witch
that cast a spell that makes you twitch
untill you cant take another inch , away
from the girl that first said hey
that would later on say
I want to lay on your roof
Talking about everything and nothing
Falling in love with you as you are so tired
you could forget your own name
Acceptance is what I choose to need.
To get away from my misery.
I trust those who hurt and love those who use me.
Acceptance is what I choose to need.
To get away from my misery.
I trust those who hurt and love those who use me.
I frequently think of why i belong here, yes on Earth. What is the purpose of our lives?
It takes a while for something to grow, but once it does it begins to blossom, nothing will get in the way of stopping it.
I love the way these words
sweetly caress my mind at night,
"I love you"
Like a gentle breeze that flips my hair
Or the golden rays of sun which warm my soft lips
I attempt to look nice
I'm much too exhausted to.
Meager must suffice.
All I want is to impress you.
I long to tell you
how much I care.
I wish to call out to you
But no sound is there.
I want it to be like this;
swadde in blankets smelling of you, I
stretch free of that innocent outer skin
of childhood, easily, like slipping off
clothes
Later, I will feel at home content.
My life was like a kaleidoscope.
My hand gripped your's as we walked through the art fair that late May day.
Together.
Just like the pieces of the kaleidoscope.
As it arrives everything diesThe leaves change colorNature's beauty diesBut one true beauty remains in galore
Pain like Fire
This pain I’m feeling,
is unlike anything I’ve ever felt,
Lost,
Confused,
Heart broken,
it’s an everlasting nightmare.
This pain I’m feeling,
Darkness floods you veins,Your eyes have become reflecting pools,Black like dreamless sleep,You ache for the affection,
I want to fall into you,Like butter on warm toast,Snow on a summer day,The fragrance of a slow cooked roast.
FOOD FOOD FOOD
Every ravenous soul cries for
What is food at all?
Is it Satisfaction...?
Or a remedy to survival...think about it -
I see food as Cruel, Enemy, Evil, Vicious...
When love gets a little easier
Maybe I'll be able to say hello and not have my eyes rain
Maybe the tulips will finally bloom properly and maybe the dandelions will finally blow in my direction and cover my face with their wishes
Flow in the wind like a flower in the Spring,
Your delicate petals swirl in the midst.
Touched by your warm smile,
waiting all along just to hold you a while.
Tulips grow in May showers,
One step out the door
Come back!!!
I can't do that, I've gone to far. I've stepped into deeper waters and I'm drowing. I've dug my own grave and the world is slowly closing in.
You can't do this!
From the moment I saw you
every breath in my body escaped
every thought that had crossed my mind
completely vanished
Just as the walls began to cave in
And just as the sunlight
I only see you in my dreams though I look for you always when I'm walking down the street and in every crowd I look out hoping to see your face (dreading actually seeing you,
The way our fingers fit together just tells me
We were meant for each other.
You are my other half, my missing piece, my lost soul.
When we are together, I feel the emotion that some call love.
And it began, again.
The battle between my mind and heart.
"He deserves better than you!"
"He will never love you!"
"You are way too fat!"
"You aren't his type!"
"He will never love you!"
Her pastel blue dress flowing like a river,
cascading down her legs.
The moon light, casting an iridescent glow
on her already tanned skin.
His suit, black like the night sky above
Heartbreak is not something that is easy to take
For it clouds the mind and causes the esteem to effortlessly break
Hours upon hours are spent of you picking up the pieces
When I lay my weightDown on my nestMy heart will beat softlyDeep in my chestHer lips, it seemsWill kiss my dreamsAnd my eyes when liftWill see her; my special giftBeside me
This Old Love;
It causually drifts by.
Coming in pieces as time passes with each sigh.
Your face is carved with the sharpest edges.
I'm lost in the detail of the strength flowing in your eyes.
That night I had caught your eye a few times,
but I was choking on my insecurity,
words wrapping tightly around my throat.
So instead you watched me with an intense gaze
Before,
when I entered a quiet room,
there would be nothing for me to hear.
When I would reach the end
My tongue it twists, it curls, it bends
it licks my lips, my throat defends.
It also tastes, a noble job,
though biting it will make him throb.
When I think about my skin
The trouble it has got me in
The things it said were good to do
The things that it has put me through
The silence that comes to my eyes
when they are closed
is one of which all other senses
are jealous.
At night,
My ears: they are the best of friends,
and any quarrels my brain mends.
That car is coming from your left
proclaims the first, so smart and deft.
Your the key to my heart
Your the key that unlocks the memories
That me and you shared
You fill me up
Then drink
I am your partner during dark nights
And your enemy
Once you've had your fun
And had your fill
You leave me on the table
And go to enjoy life's thrill
My broken angel
With wings made of porcelain
With a mind held together by threads
With scars on his skin that run like mine do
Deep
Full of a history
Of stories
The stuff of nightmares
Once, one day, I had nothing to do,
So I decided to talk to you.
I couldn't have imagined, I couldn't have known,
That this was the beginning of a friendship anew.
Whatever misalignments had knocked the earth off its axis
twisted and turned and morphed
until time stopped
and it was me and you
underneath the galaxies.
I want you to say no, I want you to reject me.I want you to say yes, I want you to want me.
Anything but this, stuck blinded in the midst,no sense of direction,struggling to contain my affection.
If tomorrow I didn’t wake up and I died,how many of you would cry?How many of you would sigh,and just move on with your lives?No pain trapped inside,just another body without life.No priest to confide,
I do not know what she is to me.
I cannot say how I feel.
She’s like a pebble stuck in the back of my mind.
How can I tell her how I feel?
With my body pressed close against her frame,
It all started with the right hook
A shock thru the spine
Redirecting the foot
Trembling in the knee
and signaling for the left hook
1,2,3,4
Remembering the days her eyes was a beacon of hope
Everything is wild,
And Everything is thus something,
But will the tides turn,
Till we have nothing?
We lost it all,
Though we had it all,
Everything was all we needed,
New Love
They're three little words, but not very little to me,
tell me your dreams, fears, and who you want to be.
People claim to be lucky at the cards and unlucky in love,
I sit alone,trying to talk to you,but you dont want to talk,you never do,you only have one thing on your mind,its always that one thing.Dont you care about me?What about me?
fades like the memories of our love, drawn on the sand on the beach that night ,washed in the memories of my tears that night 2 year on
This damaged girl coming from a broken home, no hope left leaving it all torn,
Not a single soul for help in times of discord,
What happened to all the love and care from her supposed friends?
She always comes & goes.
It is better to leave, before she is left.
She always comes & goes.
She leaves before she is left.
The friends she makes,
Are kept for years –
He's changed me
Though I know not how.
Butterflies and kisses,
Both things he gives to me.
Smiles and laughter
Are inevitable
When he's near.
Fate or Fortune,
We kissed, I felt her lips connect as if we were one, and yet I wanted more. I could not resist her, her looks of pleasant torture, and warmest of the body. Long ago, her beauty vanished, and left there was nothing but hate.
I have feelings for you
Your the one I'll always love.
It's just one think
You'll never fee the same about me.
If I ran away would you come after me?
If I died, would you shed a tear
the waves in the ocean flow
through the open holes in my heart
hoping someday this time i can finally see the end of this shining light
Her eyes are jewelry I never cared for until nowemerald facets set in summer freckled skin,too soft to not be drawn toher lips are like nothing else,
If the sun burned hot enough would I still miss your eyes?
If the moon was always full would I stop wishing for clear skies?
If the grass was green enough would I be satisfied without you?
Because if you are to love me
there are some things you must know
for one i am broken
and hurt
and my view on love is blown
I have to start from scratch
and learn how to love again
To him, what have I done
was it worth it in the end
are the joys of love really real?
or is true love just pretend
to love him as my own is sin
to leave him would kill me
i shelter what i feel within
Love is like a drug once you've taste it
Searching for that same feeling
But I forgot to pace it
I remember that day when we first met
you spoke naught and only looked at me and shyly smiled
but
that day I somehow knew that we were meant to be
your brown eyes ripped through mine heart and saw me
You always thought, your kids will never know the feeling of addiction, but I went to re
My bear is with me nightly, as i fall into smooth slumber.
Sometimes i dream, most times i don't, but its there through it all,
Its there when you aren't. My only friend, confidante.
It is the greatest passage I have ever been in my entire life.
It is like traveling to Paris, France for the first time and wishing to stay there forever.
If someone like you
Were to slip through
My fingers
I wouldn’t know what
To do with myself
Its not everyday
That I meet someone
Like you
That has literally
Last year I sketched our dream home
with two balconies and a koi pond in the backyard.
It was simple pen and paper
I hear a faint dissonance travel
You again, in homely tears
I am the wet nurse at your disposal;
So, let me be drained by the frenzy of desperation . . . .
Crusade along the barren land,
It is true things come easy
for those who are young,
when it hits them to run,
having no regard for the course
life sets before them.
Instead, a different course
Love is that time I watched you undress
and you didn’t care.
I loved you ‘till you finished
and threw a tantrum on your thighs
Love is a kiss in the rain.
I drown for love, yes
I'm loosing you each and everyday,
little by little, you're fading away.
I feel you leaving me.
You think I'm okay with that, I see.
Let's both hold hands,
Or love,
Or go dance.
Or poke small dark holes
In wet
White
Sand.
A rose, but one, none other rose did I have,
A rose, one rose, and this was a wondrous creation,
One rose a rose that brightened earth and sky,
One rose, my rose, that sweetened my breath and air,
There's an empty hole inside of me,
because my dad I'll never get to see.
I was as happy as can be,
until my dad left me.
Who would want to kill my dad ?
Who hated him that bad ?
I knew that when I first saw you time had stood still for us to meet
I glanced as you and you glanced at me and for a second our eyes met
Yet no words came out of our mouths
You never understand it
Even as you feel it
It's your saving grace
And your damnation to hell
The light in the darkness
And the darkness itself
Consuming you
Trapping you
you ask me why im crying i say it tears of joy,
what is that you ask, something you cant ignore.
something like the rain when the sun is out,
I had yearned for so long
I had waited for too long
I died inside for too long
no love no compaasion
no warm embrace
not even a tender touch
quiet nights
desperate mornings
We've All had that kin of love,
where we fall so hard
we've all fallen for the one person who can
do no wrong
to us
we've all gotten to that point
We've all been wraped up in
the phenomena of
I wanted to be the one that you wanted
But a relationship just isn't what you had in mind
And ain't nothing wrong with a good time, it's fine
Heres a story like to tellabout this boy i thought i knew so wellthought he was the one for me all the other boys i couldn't seeit should have been me and you i could have been you and i
In the silent waves she saw herself,
Lost and confused, she cried for help.
Through the screams and moans that came tumbling out,
The distorted images that filled her with doubt.
No longer could she stand alone,
when you meet my gaze suddenly i am a child in a tilt-a-whirl again—
laughing in the simple joy of movement and crying out for more as soon as it’s ended—
and i wonder if you can see how dizzy i am by my dazed smile.
When I think of you,
Ah, I can barely believe it is true.
From the moment we met,
I could see there was something.
But could never tell what it was.
Alex Noe, I love you
You make me feel very special
But you have to know
I won when I first met you
Only been a month
It feels right to say “I love…”
I believe in us
I know we can make this work
I need times like this--to myselfTo cook up formulas with words that explode, sending minds into the unknown.Hidden messages through similes and metaphors that'll make the greatest fold
It feels like I been here before I feel familar with this scene these words theses actions I feel like its on everyones minds thoughts lips tounge, its been in every corner of the world this feel to familar yet it has no shape, nor organic matte
Dancing Shadows
By Laquanna Allen
In today’s society
There is only one thing you can be
The bully or the bullied
Round and round
Believe me,
I am aware
Of every single flaw
Or imperfection
That creates my
Monstrous existence.
So who are you
To come and blame
My imperfections
For making me
I came home and found you in your usual spot, hiding from the world.
Dark despide the sun being awake.
Your eyes are open yet nobodys home, you stare straight ahead without following my movements.
I've been walking down this path,
For quite some time now,
I know that it's instilled a bright road ahead.
I just can't always see what's next.
Where are you going,
I can't find you,
where are you going,
I just trusted you,
Where are you going tonight.
I just wanted you,
and I just needed you,
I am waiting, I am alone,
My life is like a bad fairytale.
Dragons lurk in every cave,
ogres in every shadow.
When I get to the place where the castle should be,
what do I see?
The evasive palace has escaped me.
To the Boy Who Lost His Shadow,
you told me you had to find it so you could feel whole again
I want to love you for forever and a day.
Til the sun comes down, and its time to lay.
Til, the wind blows and the seas roar.
I wanna be with you, but dont forget theres one more.
My blood ran cold as he looks at me,i shiver as his breeze past me, i look apon his face and i worry... why is this i wonder?
I want your hands on my bodyYes like that i want it badlyBaby caress me...I want you to pleasure meI've been missing your touchIt's time to catch upGrab my lap put them upCome here let me kiss that
Hey Mr. Principal,
Hey Mr. Smith,
I hope you sit comfortably –
On your plush office plinth,
With all your private accolades –
That no one could care about,
To the varsity trophies –
This is the blood i bleed
There is a reason for this pain
Some people just never understand
The pain i go through is too much to withstand
This pain i go through is worse than any other
--How much pain
How many tears
How many times must I say the word LOVE
How many broken hearts must I suffer from
How many times do I have to stare at a blank response
How many lies
To think you would care
To think you would understand
but I liked believing you did
The sweet oblivion was better
than facing the cold hard truth
Turns out you never knew me
Eventually
Eventually you’ll run out of tears,
Eventually you’ll run out of fears.
Eventually you’ll run out of sadness,
Love
a 4 letter word, though it holds so much gravity
yet we throw it around like something thats only worth a penny
Hate
There's nothing i wouldnt do just to see you again
All the words i've said have no meaning
With this mess i've made i must do all the cleaning
I told you i loved you
But you left me with no clue
Let's pop some pills, Fall in loveCut our wrists and spill our bloodDrink come Gin, let's die tonightCome on Demons, help end our lifeLet us bleed, for what we see
Let's pop some pills, Fall in loveCut our wrists and spill our bloodDrink come Gin, let's die tonightCome on Demons, help end our lifeLet us bleed, for what we see
All the cliques laugh away
While I sit and watch
Wondering where my friends are
Wondering where you are
Wondering why distance keeps us apart.
The teachers will lecture
I always said it couldn't happen to me I always said my heart cant be broken I always said I would never cry I always said I don't fight for boys I always said NO FATHERS ALLOWED I always said I don't believe in love But now I say that you change
You and me,
We had amazing memories,
Staying up listening to Miley,
Talking about our parties.
Blaring out to your music,
Singing to the lyrics we know,
You yelling at me to choose it,
Sometimes I wish I could go back in time.
There's somethings that I regret.
Thinking that they would change themselves again, but it was me that it did forget.
Me not letting my real feelings show,
I'm holding this girlHolding her in my arms tonightI refuse to fall asleepAnd give this moment over to my dreams
Love is hallow as a cave
Led by its beauty, a great quest
Love is a path for the brave
It will never settle for less.
I asked a girl, who had red hair, what it meant to love,
We talked for hours, endlessly, the characteristics of our beloved.
Compassion and care, with honesty and trust,
The fire of passion turning seclusion to dust.
Love is something I don't understand.Hell, I don't think anyone does.When you say "I love you."And they say "Don't."How do you expect me to changeThe way I feel about youIt's not much of a choice.
He read me like a book
Paying attention to every detail
Remembering every word
Taking notice to every detail
He read every crevice of my life
Kiss my lips and empty me, love me long and set me free.
I'll give you it all, even me. Or crush me quick and leave me be. Our love is strong..in harmony
Love is only temprary.
You come into the world with at least one person
Your mother,
and you leave alone.
Between the time you come and go you're suppost to bond with other,
Make connections,
You clenched at my chest,
For a sweet rational moment.
Heart drop.
Bottom rock.
The bitter grin
Made my face numb like gin.
The only
Substance
That can
Be
Absorbed
At this very moment
If there's nothing there
I want you to forget.
Destroy all the memories
And please have no regrets.
Let go of what used to be
Throw away the gifts from me
Falling down, falling down
And then those words saved me.
When I was at home and all alone
I looked for an escape
So I'd hide and wait, I'd hide and wait
And then your voice saved me.
Hey there, my love
Don't you know that you're my universe?
You turn my world upside down
I miss you so much it hurts.
I love you in every way
Don't ever think that it's not true
It's like cold electricity
The way I feel when you're near me
I'm excited and I'm shy, maybe even blushing
Just your pure perfect entity
Stops the madness that's around me
Kiss me
Hug me
Tell me you love me
Where ever you are,
Keep thinking of me.
Feel me
Touch me
Tell me you want me
Drive me crazy,
Touching me softly.
Your hair
My shooting star
my glimmer of hope
flashing acrossed
the never ending universe
a dark abyss of widespread dark matter
Longing. yearning, craving
to find a home
to find the light
Good morning and good night
To you whose always let me down
We're dancing apart in this twilight
You're rising sun tares me down.
I followed you into te haze
Not realizing you never looked back
I'm sorry that I fell in love
Sorry that I think you're perfect
Sorry that You're the one
I didn't mean to bother.
I didn't mean to push you away
Didn't mean to go insane
I just wanted you to stay
Bound to her lone tower
Her White Knight won't let her go.
Chaining her with his love
He's blind to what's inside her soul.
But in the midst of her routines
She's drawn to this Dark Knight.
I'm having these weird feelings;
For a fellow friend.
I always think about him;
Even when he's out of sight.
When he speaks to me;
It's like music to my ears.
You ran to me for comfort about him, but I stole that kiss from you on a whim.
You still easily get lost in my "beautiful brown eyes", so when you say you feel for someone else I can't justify because you lie.
You would be amazed for the love I have for him
Stronger than what Hercules could carry
And deeper than the ocean's current
Trying to forget about him is impossible
It's like trying to fit in a smaller size shoe
You're the best thing that has ever happened to me
I would do anything for you
You treat me with respect
And you care about my feelings
You're the best thing to ever happen to me
And I couldn't be happier
I don't even think that it's possible.
For my heart to even go back to being lockable.
Cuz my love for you is mildly tropical.
I gives you mango, coconut, and some pineapples.
We have that island love.
There is a low in our life sanction
call low of love and discussion
People start to speak foreign language
Thought become blur more
Brain write the bath of sorrow
Aching with no bruise, vena cava's clenching
Heart gushing in resonant clicks. Stomach is a wolf
Scratching at some meat. Reaching, but I fall
Tumbling through the seas. Seas of endless,
I'm sorry I made you fall for me,
though neither is at fault.
If I could help you get over me,
I would, but that's impossible.
Whatever you like about me,
you'd see more of it.
You've got me in the palm of your hand,
because deep down,
I'm a good girl.
I'm a kind girl.
I'm a caring and devotedly loving girl.
I want to make you happy.
I want you to be proud of me.
You amaze me every day.
And I still get butterflies when you call.
I'm so happy to be your baby.
I'd never think of leaving you at all.
I haven't felt so free
'til I felt the love you've given me.
Our love was perfect tonight.
It sparkled, danced radiantly, so right.
The eyes that saw our treasured bond
knew we were sincere and fond.
You took my hand and didn't let go,
Don't leave.
Just don't.
Stay close to me.
Be patient and gentle,
then you'll see.
Get to know me.
I have layers upon layers
of thought spent on who I am.
There's contradictions.
This is the story of tragedy immemorial.A tale of endless woe.I hope you'll learn from the mistakes.Made by two really quite bitter foes.
Maybe you just have my hormones going
That’s the reason my blood is flowing
So quickly and you got my pulse thats pulsing
So quickly you got my impulse going
I kiss you and my whole bodies glowing
I want to love you,
but I feel like we rushed.
Two months went too quickly.
It left me thinking, "Is this lust?"
You said it was more,
and with me you did agree,
and getting "us" back
How so oft the stars may say,“Beauty unlimited exists on Earth.”The Angels envy her eyes;Light green windows where purity lies.For as long as there is good on Earth,Your beauty shines;
How is it possible for me to miss you like this?All I want is your embrace and one more kiss.Then another and another and I won't let you leave.Every second you're away is every second I grieve.I must confess, I'm obsessedBut when you're with me I
I will draw x's on your spine and smear them off with the salt of my tears. I will listen to
the pulses of your heart thrusting against your heaving chest and tally them on the creases
My vice is her eyes;
Pale-blue, two frozen moons.
I am powerless.
May I find shelter,
In you? I am brisk and bleak.
I am December.
I am drowning in
Her cerulean maelstrom.
I'm in class bored out of my mind,When sunddenly all I see is her,No longer in my chair confined,My surroundings turned into a blur,
When into the west Apollo has gone
And the depths of night surround me
I am found in the shadows waiting there
For my love and lord to appear
Soft skin grazes, touches,
kisses the curves
so gently it almost misses
but my electric skin knows,
feels yours. Shocks of
the-best-thing-ever
course through my body,
You are my sun on a cloudy day
My Heaven on Earth
My star in the evening
You are my shelter in a blistering storm
curled up i sat in a bleached
hospital bed
frightened like never before
listening to the doctor
tell a nine year old girl that she had
A warm chilly evening filled with much charm,while inside a young couple was in each other's arms.A blazing fireplace crackled that made the air wamwhile on TV a soap opera performed.The woman was pale and not feeling too good;The man wanting to h
You lay across the matress.
Head turned to my left.
Your smile spreads like the legs of a woman.
Cheerleading their way out into a full split.
My hands creep forward
Towards your shoulder.
As the sunset hits the hills
It almost seems the world stands still
That’s what happens to me
When I see your great beauty
I have to thank God you see
For the beauty he put in front of me
I want you
to smile and laugh
to relish in the sunlight
and love by the moonlight.
I want you
to visit my dusty bookshelf
and read my favorite book
and try to understand why it speaks to me.
I still have the first photograph taken of us. It was at prom, at our tiny high school, and even though we'd barely even spoken a word to each other in the years we'd attended, our parents insisted we pose - and we did.
I can't belive she looked at me,
From cross the room I caught her stare,
She blushed,
And looked away,
But I know what I saw, and what I saw was there.
The class bell rings, and class is over,
Questionable Mentality Okay so this is that good shit that I can never say to my teacher my hate seekers. This is for that little boy sitting on the bleachers.
Stroll down the aisle,
Show everybody your smile,
Now walk with some suspense,
As little girls scatter petals all along your path,
It’s time to thank your dad for everything in the past,
Want
By: Kamaria Campbell
Big, beautiful, warm, and wet from his tongue
Slowly gliding along the surface leaving behind a trail of saliva
Prose
O starry night, brazen with chimera.Behind those cimmerian clouds breadthwith God's touch.
Imagine without frontier's and marvelat the shiploads of faith that navigatethrough stormy seas.
I want to be kissed!
But not just kissed...
I want to be kissed because I’m me!
Not just because I’m some girl.
I don’t want to have to think
And think and think and rethink
My heart feels like magic,With my mind like static.I feel like I've been rebornI feel like a newborn Until you are attained,My heart's in disdain .Calm days and sweet wordsmaking me a hazard. I shall not say goodbyefor I can not deny,How your beau
Burritos deliver satisfaction to my tummy
The ones from Taco Bell are super yummy
The tortillas made of flour
I can eat them every hour
With your beans, rice, sour cream and cheese
My heart belongs to the boy in the sky
In his magical castle way up high
He took my arm one dreary day
And lead me to a world not so far away
A place where I was free of cares
Coldest moon, deepest too
That’s where I last saw you
Warmest spring, darkest night
My sorry dreams take their flight
To a land where the sun doth shine
And you can hold your hand in mine
Skin touches skin
Lungs breathe in another’s breath
Time overlaps and melts away
There is nothing anymore
Eyes close
Heartstrings pluck and quicken
Dreams become reality
I met him that day at summer camp.
He was tall, and he was inspiring, and he was beautiful.
But his father was taken away from him so suddenly,
And the pain burned a hole inside of him that seemed too big to patch up.
you can do whatever you want
you can flirt with her
you can dance with her
but you will never know how I feel
or why I feel this way
Loud were the sirens crying outand loud was the body that wanted to be let outWanted to be free and do whatever it pleasedNot knowing the regrets that it would reap.Loud were the warning bells that seemed to shout.
I see a stairway leading-
Me closer to you.
It’s so high up.
And I can’t see the top.
But I will keep climbing.
Because it’s been a while since we last met.
I hate those eyes,
That filled the empty void,
I hate their soft glow,
that promised me everything.
I hate those eyes,
that let me into your heart,
and welcomed me so warmly,
told me I am home.
You deserved my first more than anyone else
I retired her love like a toy upon the shelf
But the relief was I saw the defects
And although she’s gone I still see the effects
To express in prose
Is the work of a poet
For any fellow may give a rose
But few a sonnet
I cannot fathom which I love most,
The romance of chasing a muse
Or the art of drawing with words
Between time and space
by Ima Rios
Twentyfour:
the perfect number
the essence of my life
and my life... is you.
My mind is in blank so I cannot write
by Ima Ríos
I really want to let you know
that I don't know how to say this
I don’t want to lead you on
But I don’t want to let you go
I don’t want to be the one
That you love so
I open the door
To see him standing there
With a rose on the floor
And a note in his hand
He hands me the note
And I open it up
To read what he wrote
And I start to cry
Every night I sigh
Sadly singing
And telling lies
I wish for your heart
But it's all in vain
Taking part
Of all this pain
Drop everything
Just to see you
One odd day in summer, a boy meets a firework. Salt-scented wind tosses her red hair around her Face, creating a frame for her bright eyes, her freckled Nose, her joyous smile.

She wants a poem I cannot write, one for which I have no sourse of inspiration or reason, drive or occassion. Yet I find myself letting the ink flow for something I have no idea why I’m doing.
Since the day you walked into my life
You have brought out the best in me
Everyday has been without strife
You’ve filled my heart everyday with glee
Every time that I look into your eyes
Caitlin I have got to tell you something today
You came to me like the dawn through the night
And there are no words that I can ever say
When all I want to do is just hold you tight
When you left leaves blew,
away with my thoughts of you.
My heart grips like roots.
I dream of my darling's eyes.
Surging explosions of silky brown
leaves from the finest tree.
Nature is captured within the confines
of her precious eyes.
Sweet songs bloom through the mixture
I’m in love,
And it may sound funny because I’m only sixteen,
And according to anyone over the age of 30
Our kind doesn’t know what love is,
Well do you?
Him.
He's there.
Purple skater shoes,
His last name on the back,
Talking all gamer and yet focused on
Me.
I'm there.
Blouse and make up on-
Trying super hard to impress him.
It's funny how you make me feel
A kid at heart
A fool in love
my head stuck in the clouds above
I like the way you make me feel
It's 2am
I hear the phone ring
Eight months ago, I watched you walk away,Leaving me breathless in the worst of ways.I sat there listening, holding my chin highAll the while, knowing a piece of me would die.
Love is a mirage,
In reality a desert dry and granulated
An old film, lost in the catacombs of cinema.
Marriage is an idea.
If hope is the thing with wingsSoaring higher and higher into an expanse-less skyFlying far beyond the horizon's edgeI would that I had flamesTo scorch these wings
I think it started
With a fleeting glance.
I had to capture, somehow,
This moment in time provoking
A fluttering of my heart.
Then it became
My mode of voice,
Of choice.
My dearest Melissa, on October 8th, 2012
Little did I know that I would be able to delve
Into the thoughts and mysteries of such a girl
That with every twist, spin and twirl
You could overwhelm my heart and soul
all this blood swishing in my veins
keeps me awake all night.
i don't want their assumptions about
the girl with the mark by her mouth
and the blossoms in her hair
and the pollen on her lips.
you have etched into my heart
a walking path
lined with flowers
of every color;
i've walked it once or twice,
myself, and i've seen
bluejays and buttercups
there is any number of things
which i would like to tell you about –
but i open my mouth to speak
and my butterfly of speech flutters away.
do you see the way the clouds just touch
He asked me why I loved him.
I told him his words drew my heart in like the wind does a sailboat.
And his laugh sounded the way a summer breeze feels.
You say I'm sweetBut you're sweeterSweeter than my favorite teaYou belong with meCan't you seeIts as plain as can beWe're simply meant to beYou and meTogether foreverBe with me
I want youI crave every part of youI want to know youTo know whoYou truly areI shall scour the earthAnd heavens if I mustTo gain your trustTo become halves made wholeThis is my only goal
As seasons change your heart grows fonder
While the distance between you grows numbingly longer
Behind tear stained eyes
You hide what's inside
And the love you feel for him only gets stronger
You’re my Marlboro Red in the dead of night
A single amber glow amid the choking blackness
But oh how you will never understand
the way your embers light up my soul
Scorching me black from inside out
Once in my hands,I did entreat,This tender appleI did eat. Oh glorious glory!Devine Defeat!What joy is mine,Since this apple I did eat.It's looks are beauty,Her taste is sweet;An angel from heavenBefore my feet.Her leaf is goldHer skin a rosy red,
When the lights are turned Offthe night sky will dimand fade into black,with no points to pin,all of eternity will haveno fire within.The centuries reborn will extinguish in time,for my love has gonea loss,for all things sublime.and yet my love sh
I am lost in the wavesof this Magnetic field,where everything is North,yet nothing is. everything here is Deadbut has life, can't speak,although possesses voice, is Broken,but Loves with ImmeasurableElectricity. Afar off a television's static'
I once met a man who’s very presence sent my mind into a frenzy;his words calmed the storms that raged within my heart,and his laughter was the flame that lit a fire in my soul.
Swinging my hips side to side like they ain’t got no business
Looking at your lips, they can make some mean Caribbean kisses
Dreads mid-way your back
You were like a painting I couldn’t finishA mural in my mind, how I planned to love youYou were my canvas,Each day you made me smile,A streak of golden yellow I’d paintEach day I woke up thinking of you,
The mere thought of you at night,
and my mind goes astray.
A minor glimpse of you at day,
and my heart clenches without delay.
You radiate with such beauty,
under the moon's inferior rays.
The waves crash against the rocks
The blue waters are crested with white
The setting sun sparkles against the ocean
The hues of red and purple set the autumn sky
The sand along the coast is golden
Happiness is not bought it's created
It's not about the materialistic things
It's about the smiles, the laughs, and the moments spent together
When I'm with you everything is ok
You can't help who you love
But you can help who you kiss
You can touch like you want to touch
Soft, and in length,
Quick, hard, and jealous.
You can help where you whisper,
Pitch black.
The streetlights question the blinds for answers.
They slightly part their lips to gossip
but are sworn to secrecy.
I knew the walls were talking though.
You could hear the paint chipping
Sometimes I feel alone.
I mean, I often am alone, but being alone
Doesn’t require the feeling, does it? I sit in this room
Letting myself become overwhelmed. I reminisce
Lets go outside, on a starry night. Lets lay in the grass, holding each other tight. Lets close our eyes and begin to dream. The possibilities are endless, we can go to the moon or even down stream. Let's open our eyes, and look into each others.
Awake,
My breath slows and my palms chill to the breeze
Direction of his arms are curious
For I know not what is in store
A slight peck, or a ghastly getaway?
Eyes are closed to relieve the tension
Beautiful roses
I can only pick one
from the fertile field in which beauty is born
All those roses, receive no different quantity
of sunlight or attention
I sniff each one
Some smell better
Black tux, blue tie; dyed to match his eyes, two groomsmen by his side. I look up and see a tear upon his cheek, when I meet his eyes we are both surprised to see each other finally, because we are meant to be.
ARGUMENT. Baile and Aillinn were lovers, but Aengus, the
Master of Love, wishing them to he happy in his own land
among the dead, told to each a story of the other's death, so
that their hearts were broken and they died.
(poems go here) DEAR fellow-artist, why so free
With every sort of company,
With every Jack and Jill?
Choose your companions from the best;
Who draws a bucket with the rest
Soon topples down the hill.
MY dear, my dear, I know
More than another
What makes your heart beat so;
Not even your own mother
Can know it as I know,
Who broke my heart for her
When the wild thought,
That she denies
A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown.
Awaiting your company
calls for heated anticipation,
freshly brushed teeth,
a sprits of ‘Sweet Seduction”,
and an optimistic,
welcoming heart
for the two of us.
At ev’ry distance across the globe
Tis only as big as thy thumb
Deep in my memory my thoughts do probe
As a chill begs my fingers go numb
who says we can't have a picnic at night
the stars and moon are just as pretty
and all the critters will be asleep so we won't have to worry about them stealing our goodies
and i could lay on your naked body
I used to watch him from a distance
For I knew my feelings for him could never come into existence
As long as our families hated each other
Just because our skin color was of another
When I look at you all I see...
Is the story of your eyes,
The reflection of your soul,
The smile on your face,
The lips of yours.
That speak words full of possibilities,
Sometimes the sun likes to steal kisses from the moon.
He’ll reach up over the horizon and trail
his fingers down the pale curve of her side,
make her shiver and tremble high in the sky.
Kiss me in the brink of a second as if time could be liberated from the binds of its mortality.
If I should try to love you I would love you like the sky.
I’d be patient through our trials, calm like clouds that drift on by.
There would be days that just like rain water would drip and fall,
If I were one for praying,
If I were to supplicate the gods,
I would ask them to deliver me to you
So that I may be humbled in the presence
Of a beauty akin to that of the divine.
She moves like a butterfly bounding from flower to flower. Her features are fine-tuned like the keys on a piano. When the sun shines down on her head it reveals a golden halo of hair. Flowers blossom in her presence.
You saw me when I didn't see myself.
When I couldn't bare to look in the mirror,
you held it up to my face depicting a reflection of me with you by my side and then I saw life.
I saw light.
I see now, that we are one.
Blue eyes bright as winter's day,
Glistening while on their way.
Green eyes soft as ocean's tide,
The wild ones will take the ride.
You are my muse and my melody
A song in my head, my harmony
I'm not Beethoven or Mozart
But when I write my heart talks
I would like to give you my whole heart, but I can't.
He has some of it, you see.
He cut off a sliver with a paring knife
Oh so long ago.
He doesn't even know it's there,
It was a day like none before,
My eyes laid site on you.
Then I felt my love amore,
Your eyes shined with it too.
I'd ask to go for a walk,
on a day when the sun shines.
And we could forever talk,
or get lost in each others eyes.
My fingers are tingling
For you
Your smooth skin
And liquid personality
Like fire, taking control
Quick whip of authority
When needed, of course.
Leader. Hawk, is what they call you
Falling, falling, falling—
Limp like the rag doll I used to play with
But that has now been packed away in a storage box
Somewhere amongst the dust of the forgotten in the attic—
You hold me up again.
Love shouldn't hurt, shouldn't make you cry
Love should be there when your tears need dried
Love doesn't bruise or cause you pain
Love should keep you from blame
Love is romance, Love is fun
The man controls the puppet,
The second it is finally made-
And goes on to make the rest
To fulfill a romantic charade.
Love, Love, Love, Love, Love
Nothing is more joyful and painful than love
It can break a heart or mend one
It can tear people apart or bring them together
It can cause stress or relieve it
sweet, slow, gentle
passionate, fast, hard
soft, rough
commanding
submissively
fleeting, lasting
so many descriptions for the same thing
Romance is different for everyone.
I burn for you
old dreams a thin smoke weaving itself away into the atmosphere
I burn like a single flame atop a candle
wishing to bring light to your every dark corner
My love...
Your eyes strum compositions too complex to ever interpret with harmonious strings... rainbow violins, played by cosmic kings
You... are a musical piece too delicious to swallow
Guitars made out of chocolate...
Remember the times, hopefully still vivid,
Possibly now incoherent, maybe vague,
Every detail a trap, every smile a plague,
Never has the past turned the present so insipid.
Excuse my gaze.
My eyes have poor manners.
They tell my secrets to the deaf.
Break silence with their violent whispers
and snicker in braille for the blind to read.
I’m still teaching them discretion.
The things that were meant
The words that were spoken
Miscommunications we had
Led to hearts that were broken.
Our launch into this escapade
was seamless, everything was right.
After all the dew has fed the lillies,
I will group them into portraits of your smile
I would give anything to be in your company,
to spend eternity in your arms
If not for just a little while.
I actually remember the first time that I ever saw you
I could not keep my eyes off you
It was from my friend's friend party
And oh my did I think you were a major hottie
Eyes so stunning
Lips very pleasing
If I take my time to speak to you
Then you should know I care.
Not only am I giving you a clue,
But what I’m doing is also rare.
I’m shy you know,
But if you’re important to me
Then I will show.
As i lay in my bed
I can barely wait for your touch
Your just getting home
You see rose petals,candles,and such
It's leading you to the bedroom
Where i am awaiting your return
Just open the doorstep in
You my love are like poetry in motion
you glide along with
charm and benevolence
when you walk by you strike a heart's chord
i hear songs of love playing in my head
you've mastered the technique of seduction
Did you know that I think your heart is the most beautiful heart
and that the sound it makes is more astonishing than any symphony I will ever hear
Did you know that I think your eyes say more than any words I could ever write
Deceitful words unkempt
By the comb of a human conscience
Mistakenly exempt
From Karma’s omniscient province
Is truth given attempt?
Or are falsehoods your native parlance?
Yesterday, today, the same
I’m too cowardly to speak your name
I’ve never feared rejection like this
I’ve never been afraid to shoot and miss
Maybe… with you, there is too much at stake-
