Fades
Into rhythms that move
Become swirling sounds
That look a lot like you
When you call me, do you hear the strain
In your voice, the way you say my name?
love has only ever held weight
in his space.
love existed to me
the moment our souls found home
in each others' eyes.
the eyes
i would die for.
the soul
A kiss of water and salt seals unspoken words,
I feel the trace of an unsent letter on my lips.
Asphyxiated by the protection of our integrity,
At the expense of my serenity.
Your touch is tattooed
On every curve
Your smile
Foggy amongst the autumn sun
I dream of your eyes
Sad and wandering
Imagine being picked
Like petals from a flower
Someone
holding you,
wanting you,
wishing for you
Only to be pricked by the thorn
And watch the blood fall
Mercilessly
I remember thinking, 'there's no way I love you yet'after giving you the last hair tie that I had left. But call that wishful thinking because I was already long gonebefore I even knew where you came from.
I remember thinking, 'there's no way I love you yet'after giving you the last hair tie that I had left. But call that wishful thinking because I was already long gonebefore I even knew where you came from.
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 look back on the times
when i first told you
that i had, and still have
feelings for you
i was so goddamn happy when you said that
you liked me too, and i think you still do
i still remember
the feeling of your hand
holding onto mine
our fingers intertwined
i miss our silliness
as we tickled each other and laughed together
or when you put you arm around me
you did nothing wrong, you’re a good person
but you’re hurt, and i figured that out by myself
i know you’re afraid to open up
i know you’re afraid to let down your walls
and let someone in
She is a Dancer
She has a Dancer's Soul.
Dance was her first love
Her healing and passion
The only one she trusted
Who she turned to when times where too rough
When the emotions were too much
my first true love was an online relationship,
he was older and more experienced in every way.
we met on a game and instantly clicked,
it didn't take very long until we were talking every day.
We started off strong,
Pure and true,
But now you’re leaving me,
Feeling small and blue.
This can’t be real,
My first love was a boy whose beauty could have put Aphrodite's to shame
For his eyes glimmered in the sun like gems
And his smile beamed so brightly it flocked dozens to him
But this boy stuck to my side
August 2015 – It’s seventh period,
and we all have to give a presentation.
Of course, I’m barely paying attention,
until I notice a pair of blue eyes
deep breath, deeper, deeper yet, deeper than the ocean of your
eyes that keep calling me home, calling me back back to the
I won't say I'm in love.
I like your hair,
I won't say I'm in love.
I like how you don't want to catch my eyes,
I won't say I'm in love.
Everyone else seems to be used to this
They've all been through here
This beautiful water
Many my age have practically sailed
Through this whole ocean by now
I know I'm behind
I have seen the glismpe of love
I have felt it on my skin
I have heard the whispers of joy
How it hurts me deep within
Where do I begin?
How do you tell a tale so weathered yet so fresh?
So foreign yet familiar.
Your palm that once warmed my thin fingers
I miss the old days
The times spent with you
But friends finally told me
To find someone new.
'Cuz you sure have changed now
But I haven't left
My heart aches so much as
I hope for the best.
Dear first lover
I still think about you
I hold onto our last conversations like a child holds onto their blanket
It’s safe
I look up at the stars
And all I can think of is you
How all of a sudden you are growing up
And feeling emotions you can't even put a name to
For this girl you love
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.
Yet it's not bound to last, can you blame one to try?
How could one make the whole universe fit in her eyes.
One glance and you're stuck,
For she's not lightning but I'm struck.

Dear Lover I am writing this,
Because I love you.
There isn't a reason why I love you
Although I love the way your smile puts a smile on my face
Dear mother,
I banged on your bedroom door with a bleeding heart
you pretended to be asleep
I hate you
I came home and found a note on my bed, in which you wrote
Liar, liar
you broke my heart first
you set my flesh afire
I gasped as you let go of my hand and watched me burn
liar, liar
why would you do this?
I just
constantly have this feeling to talk to someone.
I'll never know him again, but
It's fine because life always makes a compensation for me.
Maybe it isn't fine.
The sun reflected milky white off my skin outside the gym
When you asked me where my sister was
I told you that she was sick
You asked me what I meant
You were the boy I have always wanted.
At least I thought you were.
But you did not want the same as me.
Or maybe at some point you did, but realized I just wasn’t the one for you.
Dear First Love,
Out of all the lies you’ve told me “I love you” was my favorite….
But your “I love you”s have lost their meaning,
And my body has lost all feeling,
I don't know why
But a year had passed by
And yet you're still the guy
Who crosses my mind.
'Though many came into my life
I felt no spark here in my heart
Like what you've given me way back
Because I love you, it isn't really about the infatuation phase
It's not the falling,
It's the catching.
It's making sure you're good and asking every day.
“Because I love you,” is your only excuse. For why you left. Over and over. Because you love me, you didn’t want to hurt me. Little did you know, you were killing me. Because you loved me, you made me cry.
Because I love you, I will always be by your side
I will suport you no matter what
Because I love you, I will always give you advice
I will be your best friend
Becuase I love you, I will put you before myself
Before you was warm, natural and comfortable.
The beginnings of a life so old, yet new.
I could be happy, mad, bland, or blue.
With you I felt so vulnerable.
Emotions grew, good and bad,
I know you don't want to talk to me because you need to breathe
but I'm restless without you
they say the only ones up at 4am are the loved and the lonely
but I'm broken
You see
Love lost
No where to turn
Beginning to question
What a life costs
Life without love
Isn't a life worth living
So I jumped
Body flew like a dove
There was a wood by my house you and I used to meet at.
We would wait until the warmth of the glowing sun had gone
So that you, my first love,
Could wrap your strong, loving, embracing arms around my delicate, tiny body
The boy who played the Dad to my Mom in preschool.
The one who looks like a Who from Horton Hears a Who, and shifts his eyes when we walk past each other on the Coca-Cola stained floor of our church.
I traded my sorrows for a pretty face
And a bottle
I traded my sorrows for him
And a cigarette to my lips
My sorrows were replaced
I love you
I replied.
I wanted his future with mine.
His carefully guided wisdom.
His whole-hearted embrace.
Imagine a life without.
Its amazing how I feel in love with you
You were a pain in the a** and so foolish
But you made me fall, how clever.
I'm skating over thin ice
One wrong move and i'm done
It's not easy being so nice
To that one person you hate to love
I get cold feet when i'm around him
But my face gets warm like an oven
The dream of us became bliss,But everything ended with one last kiss.Now I got you off my list,See me again and I'll show you my fist. Everything crumbling down cannot be revived,You just made me more deprived.
A shitty run down turqousie chevy,
with a dented silver door on the left hand side,
crawling from the passengers side to yours,
sitting in the lap of a past lover,
Is this love, can it be
Is this some trick of destiny
Is this love, it cannot be
Not for someone like me
Is this love, how can I know
I've never felt such a way before, but now I'm sure
Concerning College...
He said, please don’t get stuck like me.
Go, reach for the stars. Do it. Please.
It’d do my heart good, to see you succeed.
Get out of this place, go, be free.
I long to wrap my aching arms around you,
I can still taste the melted vanilla lipgloss you so carefully applied to my trembling lips
You kissed me reverantly like I was a prayer you dared not speak aloud,
She was completely engulfed with his presence. Never in the world had she seen a man so beautiful; what amazed her more is the fact that he had no earthly idea.
I miss you.
I never wanted to admit that,
But I really miss you.
You never told me the password for the PS4
And your Sly Cooper icon is
Iconic.
Heh, get it?
I just gave you the link to my account.
I'm hoping you don't hate me for this.
But I wouldn't blame you if you did.
To say I was hurt would be an understatement...
You're my first love.
That's all I can even say.
You make me smile and giggle and...
And nothing has ever made me feel this way.
It scares me.
I'm scared I'll turn into her.
It’s your fault for staying
It’s your fault for talking
It’s your fault for breaking my heart,
But picking and mending and healing
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
Dear First Love,
I was so scared
of messing everything up
that I ruined it all anyway.
You were so good to me,
but I didn’t treat you
the same,
and I missed my chance.
There was a boy that I loved.
The way he looked at me made all of my problems disappear.
The way his lips felt against mine, made time stop around us.
you have too much heart, and i don’t have enough stars in my eyes,
and i'm afraid of loving you, because love comes in different kinds.
and i fear the way you smile at me, the way that you laugh,
Like a song with catchy lyrics I memorized you.
When ever you're near I lose all my fears and not care.
The ocean waves came pounding downSo fast, I can’t breathe so I drownAround me there are shades of blueAnd all I know is I'll miss youThe water was so coldI miss the warmth of your loving hold
I thought I loved you
Two hearts melding into one.
A picture of joy and happiness. Of completeness.
I was glowing in my first love, my first kiss, my first belief in something more than friends
When I was in the eighth grade this boy liked me
I didn't like him
I liked the attention
As I walk past him my cheeks turn red,
I say hello but he ignores it instead
I wonder how we would cuddle in his bed
Or how his hand would fit in mine,
My heart is in a bind.
inspired by the Bible story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
not pushed, nor did i jump
yet i fell into the fire
the vehement flames circle
heating me with a ferocity ethereal
I look at you with my hidden eyes
Your smile lights up the world
Blue, green, and gray crystals
In my heart, butterflies twirled
I did not see it coming
At first mere acquaintances
Her smile is the beauty of nature at its best, when leaves are ripe and the trees are at rest. Grin perl white and shines with glee, like a deep night sky it's a must on what you see. Waves with ponder that's brown
A look;A precious truth that I cannot hold nor touchtet can feel the softnessbrush against my faceas your cold eyes pass over mine
His mouth tasted like coffee and cigarettes,
and his mind,
his mind was like and overwhelming wave of beautiful thoughts,
that I was drowning in.
The odd thing was, I didn't want to swim up for air.
Of all the kisses you gave me
the one that burned itself into my memory
and makes my heart flutter
was the one you planted
on my nose
when I laid next to you
with my eyes closed
Take Me
His eyes gazed deeply into my soul
Igniting a fire
I did not know could exist
He whispered my name
Sending chills through my body
You make me confused.
When you held my hand for the first time,
I felt uncomfortable.
You rubbed the knuckle of my thumb
With the soft pad of your own,
As our fingers tangled together.
I look at you
Honest brown eyes
Asking me a question
without words.
You smile
and we laugh
but yet you seem sad.
I take your hand, trying to grasp the reason
Everyday I see you
and everyday you look at me
Everyday we talk
we argue and laugh together
Everyday i bump you
and everyday you bump me
Yet it feels at though you have never seen me
You said
I love you
And I believed you
I walked to you
And kissed you
With passion
And fire
Breathless
But it was a lie
You said
I want you
And I obliged
I never thought that I could feel this way
I never really searched for this feeling
- None worthy to share it with anyway
But I stumbled on it, now I’m tingling
The first love poem
Inscribed on a clay tablet
By Sumerians
Does not speak of
Candy hearts or kisses or
Perfumed nothings
That make your heart beat and your
Cheeks flush hotly red.
If I knew the sun wouldn’t come up tomorrowI’d call you and tell you I miss you;I would admit to all the times I should have just laid there in your arms.
You might ask why do i write poetry that a good question
Besides wanting to stand out and getting freedom of expression
To me its to pull out my emotion, pull me out of depresion
I tore through her forrest of thorns
slowly becoming crazed,
the faster I galloped,
the more I panted.
I saw her horizon line,
bathing like temptation
against the heat of
They say to drop the past;
that it is not important.
How can one forget someone like you?
Forget the memories of our joined lives?
How close we were
when we played "Store"
and "Newspaper."
Your skin and bones
As beautiful as ones eyes may see.
Your heart and soul
They are the most beautiful I’ve seen.
"You look nice today."
Flashback
"You look nice today."
She said it so sweet
The smile that crept across her face
Everything about me melted away
Wanting to run into her arms
She hurt me, I did all that I could and still she hurt me
I opened doors, payed hundreds of dollars, held her tightly
And yet, she hurt me
Walking on the midnight clouds of dust
Falling like a rain drop
There is nothing I can do
To stop the stars from shining
To stop you from your dreaming
Because all the clouds of my past
We promised.
I made him promise.
He promised me cold,
Winter nights in New York,
Hot coffee and wool mittens.
He promised me Bohemian paradise.,
His guitar and his piano and his voice.
