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,
He hits and screams,
It's never his fault,
They never see much proof that he caused any harm,
When a new bottle of whiskey is brought into sight,
You start to shake inside,
Trapped
When I woke this morning
I felt an urgency to escape,
yet I felt helpless
as if I were a rabbit
with one leg caught in a steel trap
and was trying to decide
Collecting Stones The chills to my bones.Mixed messages and firm tones.A heart that aches and moans.Overlooking blessings and the factthat I am a backbone. The lessons that are unknown.Throwing away a diamondlusting after stones.When am I gone you
Loving Without Measure Power and Lovecombined.Words are smootherthan a lightly fallen feather.No more scattered storms.No more overbearing weather.He wraps me up in his shelter. After waiting so longfinding my protector.I am a great woman, butyou
I am married..
Am I married?
What does that mean?
'Cause if it's to have a ring and sign a paper
I am...
What does it sound like?
I have yet to understand its tune
Marriage Bereft
No feelings are left
Pretending all is well
An institutional hell
Stopping the sham That's the plan
Moving forth To my true north
I got COLD FEET because He keeps put'n Me barefoot out in the cold when I'm put at a crossroads, He threw up.
I choose My well BEing with yes to Me while telling Him no & it triggers Him.
I got COLD FEET because He keeps put'n Me barefoot out in the cold when I'm put at a crossroads, He threw up.

On this day of love and light
Two hearts come together, shining bright
As they stand before family and friends
Their journey of love and commitment begins
Today, two souls become one
Gather 'round, dear friends, and hear this tale,
Of two hearts entwined, a love without fail.
On this blessed day, we witness their vow,
A promise to love, forever and now.
On this special day, two hearts beat as one,
Joined in love and union, under the sun.
The promises made, sealed with a kiss,
A new chapter begins, filled with eternal bliss.
On this special day of love and light,
Two hearts are joined, shining bright.
With joy and hope, they take their vows,
In front of family and friends, they make their house.
As two hearts beat as one,
A new journey has just begun,
A moment of joy and love,
Sealed by the blessings from above.
Today, we celebrate two souls,
On this special day, we gather as one
To witness the union of two hearts, now begun
A celebration of love, a bond to be tied
As two souls join, side by side
On this special day of love and joy,
Two hearts become one, a blessed union to enjoy.
In this sacred bond of matrimony,
Love will flourish, a lifetime of harmony.
Two hearts beat as one,
Joined in love's sweet embrace,
Together they stand,
In this holy, sacred place.
The bride, radiant in her beauty and grace,
The groom, handsome and strong,
On this day of love and joy,
Two hearts become one, oh boy!
A union of two souls so pure,
A bond that will forever endure.
The groom awaits his blushing bride,
Two hearts entwined in love's sweet embrace,
A bond forged strong and true.
On this day, they take their vows,
To begin a life anew.
They stand before family and friends,
Fleeting desires cannot promise everlasting happiness. The marriage bed is definitely worthy of respect and reverence. Though marriage has it's challenges and tribulations, I still would not exchange it for anything else in this world.
A mass was said for us in Ireland, by request of my grandmother's sister, or my mom's aunt Nora.
I feel your heart within my soul,
You make me feel like butter on a cob,
But take good care my lovelies,
For you may disappear,
Giving more than you receive,
Is the absolute price of admission,
The first time I met you
I thought nothing of love
You were smart, you were funny
And a friendship began
The more that I knew you
Things started to change
My mind was conflicted
Like spermatozoa and oocytes
They walked down the aisle
To be rebirthed on the birth bed of holy matrimony
Oh foreigner,
I have lots of fine boys in my area,
and good girls in my corner,
may i bring you together?
The question is not really one,
as her mind is already piecing it,
bit by bit.
Bride's veil concealing beauty -
White mist unfolding light,
Groom's heart in restless longing -
Rays to pierce mist to bright.
Had to pick up the piecesTo mend a broken heartSo I put myself out thereMade a brand new startDownloaded the appFilled out my bioThen selected "submit"Said "here we go...".(Chorus)
I think the reason so many lovers get married on the beach
Is because it’s the one place
The only public place
Where marriage is all around you,
Where the ocean marries the shore
People maried by chain, other maried by rings,
Maried by bride price, other agree each other,
Boys paid on it, some girls paid on it.
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
The canoe has a hole in it
Still we took it out so far
And travelled all the coves
No one is in the houses
Only buzzards flying above us
Time is owned by the trees
holding hands, touching lips, keeping no secrets
or so She thought
there was another that kept His heart warm
another one that could
You think it's going to be your way or the highway but that's not how it's going to be.You'd better change your way of thinking if you want to continue to be married to me.You are not always going to get your way.
When we see each other life means so much more.. When we hug our souls intertwine as one. When we kiss our spirits are made whole.. When our laughter echoes through the air, all of heaven rejoices.
When we see each other life means so much more.. When we hug our souls intertwine as one. When we kiss our spirits will be made whole.. When our laughter echoes through the air all of heaven will rejoice.

1.
the legally or formally recognized union of two people as partners in a personal relationship💍✨
M-A-R-R-I-A-G-E
The hair on my skin stands at attention
When I surmise about your beauty & lack of pretension
Its simply no longer that of the physical
But the uniting of two souls of the metaphysical
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,
Baby you and me we were never quite so perfect
We had a lot of things uncommon, unalike
We were different, day and night
You like the dark and I’m like a bright light
Smile for me
As I smile for you
Listen to the music
We'll be making some real soon
Moonlight and stars
Decorate your eyes
I'll remember this night for the rest of my life
When you hurt
There is a malevolent force
One feeling you can feel
Which is all great remorse.
It was only once
Wait it became twice
The feeling was so good
It became thrice.
Her eyes are just like the deep blue ocean;
His smile shines as bright as the sun above.
When she looks at him she sees devotion.
He knows she is everything he's dreamed of.
The word "fight" never seemed to apply
I see its far more than what meets the eye
A promise made in youth that must live when youth dies
And I fight. Oh, its a front and a facade - yes, I fight!
RESPECTFUL and helpful
INVESTED in and in love completely
BY his side protecting his heart for the rest of his life.
Backstory/Commentary:
This was written on May 5th, 2017, right on the cusp of me diving into a
relationship with my now ex,
Ask not what I’ve done for through love I go
Unperturbed by discord. But voices rise,
And nuptial accords turned insultful cries,
For some reason, truly I do not know?
Dear Future Wife,
How beautiful you are to me
Yet who knows if our eyes have met
It pains me to try living patiently
I will wait for you and will have no regrets
For one day I will give my all to you
Dear Fear,
You strike out of nowhere like a snake killing its prey.
Wrapping your tight body around me until I can’t catch my breath.
Dear Future Husband,
Face to face, we have not met,
But that changes not a thing.
I wonder when, but I don’t fret.
In time we will exchange rings.
I hope that you are dashing,
I need you and you need me
We give, we take,
We show, we see
We laugh, we cry
We live, we die,
Together
Half of enough
For such a long time, I thought I understood long term relationships and that anyone can have them at any age
Specifically my own personal demographic
But suddenly
A switch flipped
And a light bulb flickered
There’s a name for whatever this is—
You call it a beautiful agony because you’ve got a lot to lose
I call it a chaotic chemistry to maintain my flow
It was an off-day for you
Dear Future Husband,
This may sound cliché,
But I’m writing this for a scholarship,
That may just come my way!
I hope that you, of all people,
Are finding the fun in life,
I once saw a picture of a couplewho were as happy as can be. The white gown, alstroemerias, and uniform made them prettier than you and me. Their smiles were crimson like fruitwhich attracts all at the height of spring.
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
Dear Future Child(ren) I was only sixteen when I told your grandparents I never wanted to be like them.To start off on that note is probably the least positive I could've done, I'm aware.
I was jogging down the road one day
imbibing in the sun
The sky was clear, the air was sheer
as I went on my run.
At intervals I took a break
Dear Future Husband,
I didn't know you were looking for something, easier to swallow
But For years I watched my father walk over women
What is love?
Is it just a word to say?
Is it a belief I can use just to get my way?
Is it the voice inside your head that says, “Because of me, the verbal abuse is okay."?
On a fall afternoon
He had leaned closer to me,
And said “I love you”
Then I was confused
A phrase with many meanings,
But which one was true
I looked at him,
For one does not know the meaning of love
Until one has fallen captive
For now, they think of only the other
And how it all had happened
Would it mean the same in words
If I took your hand in mine?
To glance across your sleeping face
Or rest my head, benign?
When we say, “I love you.”
What forces make it so?
A man lies in bed,
Thinking of life,
And the name of that idea
Was the one of his wife.
He smiled as he picked up his pen,
Writing in his book,
And the way he stroked his pen
A man lies in bed,
Thinking of life,
And the name of that idea
Was the one of his wife.
He smiled as he picked up his pen,
Writing in his book,
And the way he stroked his pen
Because I love you, you will always have my respect.
Because I love you, you will always have my trust.
Because I love you, you will always have my attention.
Through thick and thin,
In sickness and health,
You told me you loved me
Ain’t hear that in a while
i’m just so used to broken heart aches
and wearing a mask over my smile
Don’t tell me that you love me
and 5 minutes later you’re someone new
The sand shifts beneath my feet as I walk towrds the ocean.A hand grasps my own as we walk along the beach.The salty air wafting up my nose as I stood there posed.
I woke up early
Made you breakfast in bed
Because I love you
Took out the trash
Despite what you said
Because I love you
You are the moon and I am the stars.
So close, yet so very far.
They seem to have met a million times.
yet somehow, it's still not mine.
the moon and the stars still haven't met.
I grew up in a house filled with I love you's,
Eyes and cheeks painted black and blue,
They got I love you the most,
My mom was as white as a ghost,
When my dad would say.. because I love you,
I love you,
With this Life.
You will be my Wife
I will continually try,
Please, do not cry.
I will always Love you,
& This is True
Even after I die
failed marriage
couple kids to take care of
one named tom
the other named Sarah
1 went with the mom
other with went with the dad
cried herself to sleep
from all the wreckage
-Open My Heart-
Give me lifeWake me up in the morning,Kiss me at the crack of dawn and tell me that you love me.Show me that your expectations can exceed my expectancy.
Rubies glint on the sill in the light of the sun--
A light she'd once seen through miles of murk.
"Happily ever after" she heard herself say,
While her stranger of a husband prepared for his work.
I want to be married one day.
I want to be a lot, a whole lot,
but one of the bigger things
is that I want to be married someday.
And I don’t know if it’ll happen.
I’m scared
that it won’t,
The Storms we made last night
Sent the birds flying
To calmer pastures
Lest they feared dying
The Storms we made last night
Shook the hotel to its foundations
The chaplain surely wondered,
Let the sky clear with southern winds To push the soil across my dusty home Please, please do not bury these
My Strawberry Cheesecake with a Milkshake
The inexplicable display of perfection that occurs when you smile and
Today I met a friend
Someone Strong and funny and out going
Someone small and frial.
Someone faint of heart
I met someone knowledgeable
but that wasn't my friend
And to think that all along you were worth the wait
The tears, the longing, the lonely summer days
And every regret disappears with the shadows
When the sunshine finally rolls around.
A Place of white supremacy
Lies a little white girl like me
There is no hate when I pick a mate
But only if I decline the straight
I pick and choose which side I fight on
Dreaming of the day
When I discover the way you walk
The way you smell
The way your voice sounds deep
When you speak and my ear is against your chest
The way you kiss me gently
But boldly
Here in a room, with a glass full of liquor.
And crushed to know, I desperately do need her.
Standing there, staring right towards a mirror.
Feeling helpless, like a tragic bum filled with anger.
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,
Love the wife of Loyalty stands with her husband's arms wrapped around her and her arms wrapped around him in an warming embrace. Loyalty looked into the eyes of Love and said
She gave up that retirement plan
So she could become all that she can
Pushing away the money vice
She knows what it means to make a sacrifice
Gripping on the helm of fate
Praying it's never too late
Love the wife of Loyalty stands with her husband's arms wrapped around her and her arms wrapped around him in a warming embrace. Loyalty looked into the eyes of Love and said
i promise to never let you go
do everything i can to never say no
i promise to always be by your side
no matter what happens ill always be your guide
i promise to be with you till the end of time
Five days a week
I drag myself onto a bus.
To be taken to a place that is bleak
but there is a plus,
for everyday that passes
is a day closer to seeing her.
Going through these classes
Sunsets in the distance
And a long drive ahead.
Another excruciating day,
Finally coming to an end.
As my shoe hits the gas and I make my way home,
One thing comes to my mind.
Her.
It has been a long tiresome day .
But for some reason, I don’t want to go home .
Oh, I know why I don’t want to go home yet.
I need to put a few in me first.
May I, by the power vested in me by the love I have for you,
Place this ruby ring on your quivering finger,
Or will you slap it away?
May I, by the faith I have in God
I have a friend who is 17, a junior in high school, and getting married.
Automatic thinking: you’re too young to be getting hitched.
You don’t even know what love is.
Love surpassing something as limited as the heart and human emotion.
The seas apon the globe are nothing but mere shallow ponds
in comparison to the capacity we own as one.
You are me, I am you.
"Just Married" signs are so
wonderful to be seen
on the back of a car
speeding down the highway
to a destination
unknown by onlookers.
The direction only to be determined
You won't get married to him.
Not yet, at least.
I probably won't either, but that's only because you're both cheaters.
But for now, I'm glad I ruined your chance with him.
By the way, you're a terrible cook
Consider the fog that settles beneath me The underneaths of the narrow bridges
They trap the mist around my skin The breeze cools me as it feathers throughout the air
You are...
You are my crazy, my sane, my strength, my weakness
You are my law, my procalamtion, my truth, my forgiveness
You are my ride or die, my #1 fan, my soldier, my ally
lush gardenias bowing
under all their weight
silver lined plates bearing
exotic cuisines from all over the world
taffeta trains billowing
At the moment it was the same
the perfect scenario, fitting in
the life of two to become one
it’s shattered like class dropped
Dear True Love,
Will my feet touch the ground?
Or will I fall into Your arms?
Or be in Your heart?
Or be perfect in Your eyes as the Son still shines?
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 don't want to say you're all I need.That I can't live without you.
That when we fall asleepI match my inhale to yours.
I want to say that I exist on my own.That I can standwithout your arms around me.
I'm never happier than when I'm with you.
I don't know what you do.
/
I'm not used to these feelings.
/
What are you doing to me?
I'm constantly singing,
involuntarily,
Knots tied tightly forever,
In love we'll walk together
Merrily ever after.
My one and only life partner:
Endowed with many emotions
Some which lead to eternal devotion
The rings that bless those who wear
And given then to another pair
Together entwined their hearts shall be
Lips a lullaby, soft words a few
Warm Caresses, every cell on end
Tongue strums, O so sweet a melody
Fingers searching, finding every crevice
Dark eyes, look straight into the abyss of love
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?
every time a see a new tweet
i hope its from you
coz i find you to sweet
i dont want to pretend
so i guess we end this friendship
and board anew ship leading straight into the sea
Incantation Red
By: Ashlyn Narvaez
Let the anger leave my body
Cast a spell upon the words
Let the trauma lift above me
Create a haunting with its curse
I am...
I am Covenant
With contract, I have a retreat
With contract, I have a devotion of convenice
With Covenant, I have a Devotion based on Solemn Promise.
My collar's too tight, the room is too hot.
I shuffle my feet, my stomach's in knots.
Once I look up, I can breathe because I see
There she is walking towards me
As she comes my way, passing pew by pew,
They are imbued in doubt
and therefore can never be certain
Their hearts long in the past
and therefore cannot embrace the present
Their fears are caged inside
and therefore will never be free
The odours and smell assault me first.
Fried fat, sticky sweets and over piqued thirst.
Energetically wrapped in fest and jest,
Don’t you remember that day
When I declared to you my love?
And you smiled, as you cried of joy
Thinking if God was witnessing from above
We promised each other eternal love
I wish I knew who I am
I've just always been his wife
His rock & friend
So who would I be without him in my life?
I miss him so much but its not what you think
Death from lying
Always crying
My souls escaping to the sky
There is no love among this dark
Falling from grace and torn apart
Consumed by you I lost myself
Lived for your love and happiness
F**k Your Marriage
I utterly despise seeing statistics about marriage
How dare you tell me my love isn't as sweet as
A horse drawn carriage on a summer night
As the sky opens up in an attempt to compete
I may appear unbroken and strong...
I may appear with power and faith.
I may show my love within a song.
But my appearance is only a phase.
I cry and I weep like humans will do...
Never was there anything as sweet
as laying in your arms fast asleep
Never could there be
softer words spoken then from he
Only one could be the perfect fit
it so happens that we go hip to hip
I love you
Now and forever
Your smile
Your eyes
Your voice
Your friendship
You.
I love you.
I'll stay with you
As long as you want
Now and forever
I'll love you
She Told me to write about her
And these words came to mind,
I LOOOOOOOOVE YOOOOOU!!!
I pledge allegiance
To the flag
I remember the day
My best friend said
“I think I might be gay”
"Wifie"
You make me sick
Saying it cutesy
As if it lessens the bounded meaning
I'll hide behind a smile
Pretending I understand
When in al honesty,
I just want to push you away
After awhile you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul.
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
And company doesn't mean security.
Your wife is what you are not,
She is your missing half.
She is in your life now,
And doesn't care about the past.
She's always there right by your side,
No one can compare.
Standing tall, this bride of mine
Resplendent in white, a glow in time
Her eyes as bright as sparkling gems
He first saw her from across the room
and he knew in that moment he would be her groom
with butterflies in his stomach he drew near
but had no clue she too felt an exciting yet nervous fear
The soft breeze sways the trees
As you twirl me in a bed of leaves
to the rhythm of our beating hearts
You pull me close and our souls' music starts
Your breath whispers in my ear
We are groups of people
made to hate
because of who we love
not what we stand for.
Did no one listen to
your parents?
You treat others how you want to be treated
not
For love is as strong as death
So did you ever really love?
Was tenderness your hearts concern?
What I see plainly says you forgot
Maybe those wedding vows are stored away somewhere
As my skin captures rays from the sun,
I start thinking about what went down.
The way he hit her and how they both liked it,
The way she started to pale as crimson stained his hair.
A wife is not someone to be attained, nor an asset to be gained, but a beautiful, wonderful, marvelous woman, to be cherished till the end of her days. Whether pleasant, and kind or not so divine, I wish to love her just the same. For
Oh dear husband I’ve reached my last straw!
Your lover and you have become too enthralled!
Baby Girl!!
What are you doing?!!
Do you care about your life?
Being a mother isn't easy
Being a single mother is harder
Being a single, young mother is damn near impossible.
I have a dream that one day equality will mean just that. Marriage is a right for everyone. I have a dream that one day discrimination will no longer exist.
I remember when we first met, or when we sent the first textsand how it was so detrimental to you when i first leftI told you babe don't sweat because we'll always be together
Let me tell you straight,I say yes you say noI say come you say goI hide and you showI inhale while you blowDifferent….
The wait was always the hardest,
Once I got a hold of you,
My heart raced with anticipation,
Of the feeling of you.
Your eyes were the flame,
The flame that heated the spoon,
When your heart threatens to fall out your ass.
When your brain won't cease spitting out rapid-fire bullets labeled
What if
If Only
What about
Maybe
Maybe Not
In the beginning we were happy, I was happy.
By total chance Jay and Elle found each other.
Even worlds apart, there was this fire that burned,
It burned hot, it was a fire that burned deep inside.
"To change the world is to change your heart"
The paradigm shifts, the brand new starts
From year to year and end to end
The "change that lasts" is a change that bends
To patterns, forms, molds, and parts
I’m marrying my cousin.
People cringe when they hear the news
Some even gape at me and once
Someone made a sound like a cat does before it coughs up a hairball
Mary said to Betty Lou
I love you dear with all my heart.
And Betty Lou then said to Mary
We should ne’er be far apart.
So they held hands and skipped along
Right up to the holy place.
I am a very religious heterosexual female. I am currently dating a guy, going on a year now. We are very happy together and we've even discussed marriage way down the road.
I am hearing my name, faintly.
The crying, the yelling, getting clearer.
I am coming to, realizing what has happened.
Glass, all over, windshield shattered.
I glance over to Em, mouth moving
Upon the finger it lies
Two people it ties
Binding love forever
Severed never
Always it will thrive
When the bubble filled, fall-into-your-eyes-love-and-affection stage of this relationship fades away what will we do...we have children and each other. We aren't making "sweet love" anymore, but getting each other off.
So far and away,
Unable to touch you,
Unable to feel you,
But in an instant, I Can See You.
I close my eyes and there you are,
Standing there, looking back.
Your eyes, a sea of blue, fixed on me,
I'll send you my apologies now,
In letter form, so I can be
Oblivious. Instead I'll write my heart.
First, I will send one for my brooding spirit.
Many nights will you stay up worrying at my
For generations all the women in my family have gotten married at 21
So when I was given a water bottle cap with the middle chewed out
To wear on my left hand in the 2nd grade
I ran
Here she is in treacherous water.Here she thought she could saunter.Amongst the darkest depths she’d wander,Only to find she had grown fonder.
he counts the money in his wallet
the bills running through his cold hands
he imagines them
as her hands
she counts the freckles on her shoulders
her skin is cold
Him and Me
The way it should be
US alone, in OUR own home
But you see, him and me are too young to be.
I never knew loving you would hurt. I did everything in my power to make it work. Nobody else around me feels this hurt. Just teach me to love you, help me learn. I wanna know what it takes to please you.
A choice was made when I was small
A judge made it final; a judge made the call
one home no longer; my family in free fall
My parents splt up, but I don't recall.
It has become fairly seldom recently to see a married couple raising their conceived children together, a family that's considered complete, whole, healthy, rare. 17 years.
Of all the places I can choose from, I would choose your arms
Of all the things I want, I want your hand most
Of all the people I could choose from, I choose you
Of all the time I'm given, I want to spend it all with you
I can't explain what happened fullyBut I'll try my best.I am man of thirty three yearsAnd I'm finely dressed.My life is in ruinsAnd my wife is distressedI love her with all my heart
Feelings, Emotions, the basis of our existence
Tearing apart every piece of my weakened heart
Though through all the pain I show no resistance
A Creative Mastermind,
An Intellectual Genius,
An All-Star Athlete,
A Renowned Scientist.
All these, and none of these are I.
A normal guy with normal goals.
Average intellect to all I meet.
You were the one I loved,
When we met in Boston.
You were the one I,
A world away on Skype.
You were the one,
At the edge of a waterfall with friends.
You were the,
When I married you.
Scarred lungs and earth-beaten legs
A girl - now a woman - inelegantly runs
Her head hung low, to God she begs
Her alarm went off at six in the morning
She heard wedding bells in her sleep,
then the snooze went off-- a warning.
He turned on the coffee pot,
somewhere on the other side of town.
We started out on cloud ninewe never imagined being apartwe were forever, we were together.We had it all planned out, right down to the day we said I Do. But then the hate startedthe stressreality had settled in and it was trying to tear us apart
Silence stretches
Between you and iIts painfully quietThe music turned on highTo drown outThe painful truth
At the bottom of this drink,
Having one more, to this I think.
It only oppresses the past so much,
It will never bring back your feel, or your touch.
Instead its the temporary amnesia I seek,
they criticize at me.
saying I am lazy and don't deserve to have
a second chance.
"you should have done the work I assigned"
but they're not there for when the fights get too much
She
like a shamed, young child
carried
her belongings down the corridor, to the jet that would take her to the city
of strange faces.
My
I will never look at lovethe way you played Joni Mitchell as teenage girls and boys. I might admit I will never really know lifeat all the same way
Do you remember when,
When you wound that ribbon in my hair?
Or when you touched your hand to my face,
And it seemed like I didn’t have a care,
For you were there with me.
Nothing but sheer lace
A marriage is a bond
A bond of agony
Like my own Holocaust
With my criminal
With my inflictor
You don't know me yet, but I know you,And I understand how you feel. We want the same thing. You feel like you can't find the right one,When in retrospect, the right one is me.
There were
a million thousand hundred shadow birds that
perched across a single tree on the far side of a
silent muddled winter-freeze lake.
Black feathered wings scraped across
How am I suppose to feel?
These feelings are so real.
A burning passion
With no attachments.
A love so deep
My Love,
You are my heart, my joy, and my bride.
For you, I took the nails and the wound in my side.
For you, I was beaten beyond recognition.
For you, I lived knowing I’d endure crucifixion.
If my son were gay,
I’d slap him
With a nice high five.
Because coming out to your dad,
Takes balls that most men don’t have.
Love is meeting someone and being completely smitten
Treating them so well like a newborn kitten
Love is agreeing to go to a volleyball game
When the other just thinks it's really lame
He chuckles behind his white veil.The sun seeps through the seams. His trap has been set. For one night all will be as promised. The beauty of "love everlasting". Then morning hits. The lies begin to trickle down his brow.
Love is a mirage,
In reality a desert dry and granulated
An old film, lost in the catacombs of cinema.
Marriage is an idea.
It all starts like this: you meet someone attractive, there is chemistry, and they possess everything you have been searching for in a person all your life.
Love is a complicated thing
And many people get it wrong
Once, or twice, or even more.
But once in awhile
A pair gets it right,
They become a couple
I wish my life away
your life is mine
I am afraid to say it
I hope I am not weird or creppy.
For I want to be perfect for you
because you are perfect for me.
(poems go here)
Marriage
Marriage is tuff with good and bad days.
Marriage takes work but it starts with someone whos willing to stay.
When we get into a fight we fail to believe.
Encompassed by darkness,
From memories of a shattered life,
Constant hate from a once beloved wife.
Broken promise and cracked dream,
Ripped apart from seam to seam.
Consoled by someone other than I,
Before you, my heart was failing. I couldn’t breathe, see, or feel. I was on the verge of dying before I met you. As soon as I saw you walk through those hospital doors, I knew you were the medicine I so badly needed to survive.
in second grade
my librarian wrapped
vines of fingers
to grow over my shoulder
and lead me to
a section designated
for fifth grade and up
glittering titles
Who I love should not define who
I am as a person.Why can you love her,
butI can’t?What evolutionary methods refuse to releaseme from this cycle.Where can I go for my rights
should not be a question.
He stares at me I stare at him. Who is he? Who I am? We are One. Cheek to Cheek. Flesh to Flesh I feel his heat on top of mine. I dare not say the words i fear will ruin this moment. Is it in the eyes? Is it in the kiss?
When I was nine,
I thought that every time my mom received a new name
That I received it too.
I thought that names were like purple
You can’t forget the red and the blue.
As the sphere of hours, glasses of sand,
I have plenty of time forever
More I sleep with my dreams of what
Henceforth has idled and ceased.
Stand couldn't the copious ladies
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.
will you be my shoulder
to cry on in times of need?
will you be my band aid
to heal me when i bleed?
will you be my oxygen
when i run out of breath?
There she is, thy majestic siren whose allowing gaze drags the sea man forth. To thee does he fall in unparallel emotion, the heart that reeks of putrefied lust. A beautiful creature but no less powerful than the devil himself.
This Is Me Hating You
I see your mouth moving, but nothing you say is true
I look into your eyes and see, this is the real you.
The happiness I once had for you, was killed by your lies and deceit,
My brain is on fire,
My nerves feel weak,
The future is really bleak.
I am trying to keep cool,
Losing battle to changing rule,
Deep down I'm the fool.
How dishonest can people be,
Wishing away my life to die,
Your one of a kind, I shall not lie.
My heart is heavy from love and lust,
Worth it or not, to die is a must.
To gaze at your face was such a gift,
Married the one, caused only rift.
The beginning of our lives together.
The tune of the piano is playing.
I know after this we'll last forever.
Walking down the aisle, my dress swaying.
Reciting wedding vows to each other,
From friends from before, to friends I’ve never met…
Like playing cards they are, when the deck is shuffled
Same cards, different cards,
Or a mix of both.
I wanna live! I wanna love! If my words were a color then I would claim full responsibility for the sky. There's this crazy little thing called love and it knows no bounds. Both the King and Queen say this.
When we touch... it is as if we were made just for each other.
When we laugh... we open eyes to a whole other world.
When we dance... it is as if we were floating on a cloud.
I bet you don’t know the man he has become
With all the lies spreading form his lungs
What was branches are now roots
We are but rotting fruits
Her heart is one of a kind.
The only star out of a thousand night skies that could completely knock me to my knees.
She's beautiful. A work of art.
Her eyes, her skin, her words I breath in.
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.
If you want to lose weight, lose weight
Come with me and be my wife.
Skydiving, hand gliding, and cliff diving
Kayaking or even adventurous sailing
You name it and you will see
Flickering fire shines our dates
A house is not a home: when a hands are placed in places that make you want to cover your face.
I was five, I didn’t know.
No one told me how far a dirty secret could go.
On a line, the sheets hung
And were warmed by the sun
As mother leaned back in her straw lawn chair
For a breather.
True love
Innocent dove
That's how it does start
Tying a knot heart to heart
Hard to build
Easy to break
Love brutally killed
No more give only take
Some end in tears
Some last for years
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.
It is the color of the ocean as we walk the beach hand in hand and as he lifts me up and twirls me around,my world constricts to that single moment of eternal happiness- me and him
(poems go here) she said I love you to him
and kissed the cheek of another
she gave her soul to him
but promised her body to the other
You, have taken everything from me,
you, have chosen to cross the line,
you, think that I don’t anything about you,
but you’re wrong.
We walk down a path
A little girl asked
“are you a princess?”
And I say “yes”
But he stands next to me
he hears what we say
And refuses to agree
On our wedding day
He doesn’t see what I see
I cry.
I cry every night
Every night because I know one day
One day me and my girlfriend will never marry each other because we're heterosexuals.
I'm ready to get out of this small minded town
people talk and preach but I never hear a sound
They ask me what I want to be when I become a man
Happy, but that's something they'll never understand
Like flowers bloom each early spring
My love for you has made me king.
Your sky blue eyes and girlish hue
Have always made me long for you.
And though the sky may turn to gray
And flowers die and fade away.
Like a sunrise,
Shining, beauteous, and new
Beaming with hope,
I look at you with dream filled eyes
Potential and pure.
A new day, a new life, a new love.
Luke
and Emily
and Zoe and John,
and Josh and Mira and Rabia,
and Jane, Rose, Mary, Helen and Radha,
and Jyoti, Michelle, Cait, and Brittany,
and Tyrone and Jenny and Lalainee,
and Matt and Ellie,
Lying in your arms
under thick covers
The heat of your body against mine
Banishes my feverish chills
