Always looking up,admiring the sky and dream.Did not see the poop.
Frustration, anger,despair, sadness. Want to stop!It stopped. At what cost?
Lub-dub, lub-dub, lub,ever present, times notedUntil it is gone.
Full moon is gleaming.Yet, in all the city lightsit is just glooming.
Sun is rising up,bright and warm rays are blinding.Distant mist lingers.
ice cracks in river
spring thaw at the Winters end
magical morning
deer in the forest
wolf watches from the shadows
life is short but sweet
a bunch of flowers
Valentines day is coming
the first ray of light
deep valley shadows
dark spirits are massing
watching fire till dawn
old bear is waking
blinking in the light of dawn
he seeks sweet berries
midnight bird above
mouse rustles in the shadows
he waits for the light
the acrobats fly
a clown is watching below
his heart is singing
moon pale moth flies in
she circles the bright candle
sizzle,then she's gone
her doll is broken
she doesn't care very much
she'll get a new one
I'm running a bath
I'll put some rose oil in it
cat slips and falls in
shadowed in darkness
clouds cover the waning moon
witches are coming
dreams fade at sunrise
birdsong awakes me
I make the coffee
dreams fade at sunrise
birdsong awakes me
I make the coffee
deer in the forest
wolf watches from the shadows
life is short but sweet
a bunch of flowers
valentines day is coming
first light touches sky
deep valley shadow
dark spirits awakening
watching fire till dawn
old bear is waking
blinking in the light of dawn
he seeks sweet berries
the sweetest sunset
was spent waiting for my love
a bunch of roses
the acrobats fly
the clown watches below
his heart is singing
ice cream and chocolate
remembered childhood treats
ow on a diet
the winter snowfall
sunlight shines on icicles
melting into spring
there you are,my friend
you are always by my side
constant as the earth
Vast scorching wasteland,no life can be seen in sight.Livelier than me.
Lush green, sturdy trunk,deep roots, predestined to thrive.Bit neglect, they die.
Many massive parts,large tubes, vessels, all for naught,sans tiny hili.
Looking at choices,considering pros and cons,as if it matters.
In this life, all areon their journey, but the end.Road to certain death.
Drop after a drop,a small pool accumulates.Sweet, yet metallic.
Hot and dry wind blows,no water to quench my thirst.Single red drop falls.
Grab a pick, hit hard,just hit till well underground.Stop. You reached the end.
In the long tunnel,I yearn for the bright white end.Then, my journey ends.
Dark clouds are looming,after them expects the sun.In the dark, sees none.
Changing brown to green,little sprouts started peaking,despite everything.
A lot of data,new powerful models trained,one stanza remains.
Cracks on the shell show,proteins start to unfold,transformation wrong.
Seaweed washes up,and then the weed on the shorebegins its ending.
As damp dark brown rock,turns to hot bright yellow sand.Ponder if I will.
The little things arethe ones that matter the most,regardless of cost.
It has been a joy.Thank you, wish you all the best.Till we meet again.
Here in my pocket
hundreds of rainy day stars
set to be wished on
Susan J.
Somehow hope found room
In the tenament window
A flower in bloom
Will you love me now
If this temple I have made
Can serve your holy word.
Will you love me now
If this temple I have made
Can serve your holy word.
You say I'm quiet.
Then you ask me a question.
Do you expect sound?
I don't think you do.
It doesn't matter anyway.
I know you hear me.
You are my best friend.
A moonlit garden
surrounded by olive trees —
a serpent appears
your golden smiling
your irresistible eyes
my heart is all yours
in my defense im shit at writing haikus
i trieddddddddddd
Silent storm chaser
Sweet hail of rain, wildfire, and
Cumulonimbus.

Coal nights are beauty
When stars asleep, sound and tight.
There's a lullaby.
Sweet morning glory
That blooms flower everyday
And rest at noon break.
Our beloved nature,
Gift from our God Almighty.
Earth bless its riches.
Serve as bread weaner,
Where we can eat, breath and sleep.
To keep us, to live.
My smile is the Pen.
No matter how wide it is;
dark Ink -- it will Spurt!
The sun smiled to me.
As she gently touch my cheeks,
With her loving rays.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Leave a message ---
For the heart you have dialed,
Is no longer in service.
A sick animal
Chimpanzee stays away from
Darkness avoided
You were my best friend,
Until change suddenly came
And took you from me
Scars will never fade.
Do not be ashamed of them
They are battle scars

The squonk is so sad
In the dark forest it cries
Because of it’s looks
In my yard lives squonk
If I tell it it’s pretty
It becomes water
I first kissed a boy
When young and sweet, but soon learned
Men are not for me.
I didn't know that
It was wrong when you didn't
Know to say sorry
My mom got cancer
But I was only fifteen
Heartache made me grow
Clear sapphire sky
A feathery cloud floats past
The wise dreamer sees
To feel or exist
Is to know without a doubt
That you're in the depths.
I'm so terrified.
What does this mean because it
can't be innocent
They said that I can't
I will show them that I can
Even though I shake
I know who I am
Rosy streets and stars guide me
Now I watch you burn
The worm weeps alone
Never shall he dance again
Dried raisin in the sun
to be queer is strange,
but stranger is pretending
for you that i’m not.
i am not a bug
to be shut in a jar and
In the heights, I fear
In balloon ride, I go
In heights zero fear
Empty, flat, white sky,
Cracked with black tree branches.
The grass is yellow.
A small grey squirrel,
Twitches his great, bushy tail,
Then bounces away.
The clouds are blissful.
They show a silver lining.
Life travels forward.
Hi, shiny sweetheart!
When I am lost, I write you.
You brighten me up!
A green leaf fell and
I stood up to catch it; My
breath was caught instead.
The wind managed to
blow breaths to push leaves beyond
The Sun is so warm
That the grass is very green,
And here's panda bear!
Earth's ocean is dark
So much of the black substance
I am so angry
The weather is grand
It is explosive this year
A happy new year
The birds are flying
Away from something shady.
These birds sense danger.
The Earth is shaking
And its cracks showcase chaos.
Get away from them!
The clouds are swirling.
It is a dangerous sight.
It sucks up our day.
Baby birds and food.
Who is going to feed them?
Stomachs growl for food.
A dry pile of hay
Horses chew with their strong jaws
Breaking so much wind
The forest greeness
I have seen from my warm home
Creation of God
A huge land has sand.
It is hot in the region.
There is so much fire.
I'm an ambivert.
I can be loud or silent,
Ain't complicated.
I wish we're still kids,
Who just play around with joy.
No heartbreaks, no blues.
Goal, wait for me there...
Gonna strive so hard for you.
Promise! I'll reach you.
Mom, take me back there...
Where things are smooth, plain and fine;
When we're still complete.
So, she took the kids.
But I took the fortnite dub.
Now this is epic.
Whirr, click! Whirr, whirr, click!
Torque jerks gears and chains to life.
My Innovation.
not ev'ry sentence
has to be a complete thought

Art of getting lost

Damn Filthy Hippies
Love, Drugs, Smoke, Sex, Brotherhood
What's that all about?
Homework really sucks
I hate it more than blue cheese
I really hate school
I really like cheese
But I really hate blue cheese
Blue cheese is a sin
My gaze falls, and damn;
It is a unique school day.
I've forgot my shoes.
Knives cut through hearts and
the brain demands frigidness
to freeze the red blood.
Alone and resting
No disturbances around
All is quiet here
Drooping eyes struggling
To catch one last glimpse of a
Conscious, restless world
Wisps of pink streaked through
A sky dominated by
A glowing red sun
Early morning light
Casts down on a group of teens
All writing haikus
Orange and black flut-
Tering then still upon a
Green sunlit clover
Don't know where to start
I guess I'll start with hello
My meek beginning
Dear my future self:
You were destined for much more
Better keep working hard
(From your overachieving high school self)
Longing for purpose
These arms simply want to reach
Just to graze such warmth
Addressed for the best
A letter from me to you
Many more to come
.
midnight ping-pong ball
a gallant moon wakes the sky
unseen sun paints light
ajs
Happiness they say
Can beat the tides of sadness
Yet, I am drowning
05.28.16 - N.N.
Mathaya,
I, your author, write
To encourage you for the
Coming days ahead.
My main character
Is you; you’ll learn hard lessons.
You’ll come through each one.
locked hushed cocoons
summer falls but winter springs
and frees butterflies
that release readers
ravenous creature
feeding on scraps and whispers
tired of waiting
no longer sitting
patiently or silently
God drifts his fingers
Through Spider nest clouds as their
Creatures scatter down.
Scurrying feet and
Panic induced webs trickle
What's a hermit crab?
A creature lacking a shell.
It needs a shelter.
Girlfriend, Dear girlfriend,
Your inner star shines brightly!
Deep beauty is great.
The snake is a creep.It slyly trails its victims,Waiting to eat them.
The stars in the sky
The bright mysterious moon
Shine down upon me
An abundant bird
Makes a rather tasty meal.
I am so thankful!
The weather is bad.
It is very cold today.
I feel horrible.
To My Mother
Momma he beats me.
What do you want for dinner?
Leftovers sound fine.
To My Lover Abroad
Tell me you love me.
Remember the ferry ride?
who would really score
if i pulled the base out from
under your sore feet?
I don't understand
anything that happens at
any given time
"Because I love you."
The truest pursuit of all.
Giving us meaning.
Like a gardener
Who nurtures seedlings to life
Love is about growth
Like the cane of wood
On which my grandfather leans
Love is supportive
The moon peeking out
from behind blankets of clouds
mysteriously
You still smell the same
Japanese Cherry Blossom
In my arms again
How dare you do this!Must think I am blind and deaf,I thought more of you.
I can pull it off,Don’t you dare take it from me!Just believe in me.
Woke up terrified,Told you I was fine, I lied.Did not see I cried.
Dashing through the trees,Frightened, and scratched, with bare feet,Breathing heavily.
Rainbows in the sky,Sunlight shines through many clouds.I wish to share it.
The rain thrums downward.Not another sound is heard,I am soaked and cold.
Looking at the tree,Under the branches and leaves,Leaf lands on my head.
I long for your words.You always know what to say,You make me feel gay.
Wish we did not hide,One mustn't hide happiness,Please stay by my side.
I can hear you laugh,Like sweet nectar on the wind,You’re calling my name.
Looks into my eyes,Captures me and won’t let go,But I have to leave.
They come to my mind,Beg and plea to let them flow,“Paper!” They call out.
i remember those years
when you would've ignored me
now i've done the same
i've made her suffer
all those "I love yous" are now
sent into obilivion
my worst fears are true
A fight without fear
A soft I love you after
To be held at night
A laughing, “that’s you”
At the old, abstract painting
Choking , controlling
These misguided manacles
They don't know true love
Coldness surrounding,
The wind is blowing harshly,
Nothing is alive.
Ding dong the bell rung
here I go the deed is done,
Come get your lunch kids!
The heart is complex
An informal ticker, yes
But not forever.
Within my body,
Like layers of muscle fused,
Lies the diamond: hope.
Lesson 1: Poems
This is what's called a Haiku.
Think 5-7-5
A crack in the earth
Staying still for all of time,
Remember the scars.
Two opposite worlds
Colliding with each other,
Creating a whole.
That girl is vicious
tainted yet so delicious
she is seditious
Shift in cognition
Frigid delusions take hold
Autumn of the mind
Concept Artist: Jimmy Law
life often feels bleak
you all always make me laugh
i don't feel as sad
What is real love?
I would take a bullet
To save your very life.
Dew coats the morning
The blue bird whispers a song
Orange floods the vast sky
The yellow bus purrs
A bird chirps in the window
Summer has arrived
more often that noti ponder late at twilightthe fate of the world
I gave you my heart
I trust and support you
Because I Love You
Summer slipping by
picnic blanket beckoning
lazy breeze for two
Archeaology
Discovers the oldest things
New to you and me.
What if...
Once Upon a Time
Cinderella didn’t wed
She’s a feminist
Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time
Stories are unrealistic
Time for a new one
Once upon a time
A mermaid was curious
About life on land
Ariel could talk
But her life would be shortened
With each word she spoke
She loved a human
Love can be painful,
Bittersweet and beautiful,
Saying goodbye sucks.
I remember youThe day we met dreams came trueThanks to you I smile
The one you seek, hides.You linger about searching.Pink packets of sugar.
Middle of Winter,A flower sings the blues.Painted red then brown.
Suddenly it does.
This rapid thing that ticks and tocks.
Look up and it's gone
Bottled sounds seep; escape.Our noise mimics semi trucks.All in fluid motion
Sunshine hurts my eyes.Why am I up this early?Oh yeah, I have class.
Sunshine hurts my eyes.Why am I up this early?Oh yeah, I have class.
The humidity
Makes it hard to breathe outside.
Moist air, go away.
We all are one race
the human race says God
So let's become one
Kidnapped by the Beast
All good; pull out my iPhone
Drop my location
Bye, Pinocchio.
“How does he create matter?”
He’s in 51.
Twittering sweetly
Through the sky they soar proudly
Small blue feathers float
USA the great
Controls the world's economy
Uncontrolled at home
California
Is where I reside
A Beautiful Life
Oh say can you fixThis gift, that is now brokenOur Land is our gift
Lost in the wild
And with no way left to go
But all the way up
Pirate code:
I only do
what I want to do
Don't thank me,
fear me!
Sadness consumes me.
Will I ever feel loved?
All pain, all sorrow.
A boy or a girl,
It doesn't matter because
You're still my friend
America's great
Oho! There's freedom galore,
So go bless the lord!
I'm full of heartbreak.
Missing home, missing you, too.
Can't wait to return.
I am a human
But a subject to your words
Sweating to be free
I learned a lack in Talent is a sign; trust me, I tried writing poems.
This autumn forest
Bright hopeless desperation
Of cold and hot air
Frabjous blue mountains.Cold, freezing, pretty, snowy.Kaleidoscopic.
Staring at the board
Filled with numbers and nonsense
Brain does not compute
Salt-scented air blows
In the desert of my mind
A hollow promise
I watched the cars past;
reflections of people pass—
and I sit motionless.
a intense knowledgeupset nerves, school is startingthis year grants success
Classroom in mid-day:
Led pencils fall together;
Sigh of relief heard.
I found my real friends
Marketed an iPad app
And stressed for college.
(What's new?)
Quiet canary/
Has discovered her lost song/
By searching her heart.
No one deeply cares
'Bout your insecurities
When they have bad breath
A five-seven-five
makes a wonderful haiku
Now get to it you
Hey, are you still up
I was working until 1am
I only cried a little
Careless and weary
Yearning for greatness expands
New Understanding
Springtime comes around,
The birds chirp, and flowers bloom,
The world awakens.
What your future holds
Is truly brilliant love
Believe in yourself
An ego is just a balloon.
Inflating and deflating
With every breath, someone takes
Every Day I Wake,
Their Smiles Keep My Heart From Ache,
Even Though My Life Quakes.
Posibilities?
I'm a just millenial,
If only I knew.
Stressed, depressed, yet beyond blessed:
Motto of the year.
Making my way, trusting God!
Music, words spoken
Fashion design, theatre
Drawings and paintings
Lost in the forest
an oak reaches for a star
The sun smiles
The skin we live in.
That sweet cocoa hue, mine, you?
Deeply rooted du.
Birds sing songs to me.
And I learn to sing them too.
The songs of Haiku
Surrounded with love
Not a worry in the world
Until one day, boom.
When feeling upset
i volunteer my time away
to help those in need
Dive in feeling free
The cold clearing my worries
Blue sanctuary
Fall is in the air
Leaves falling, pumpkins carving
The smell of spices
Hark! Rhythms of her beat,
Every moment every day,
As she beats in me.
Up out of my bed,
For I know I will return,
To my love my bed.
Hey! We are the crew!
We can teach a thing or two!
Taught it in this line!
Rolling on overwet noses and furry tailsmake the day perfect
Parties and people
The hustle and the bustle
Nothing is like you.
Life can sometimes stink
Friends and family lift me
I'm engulfed with glee
I wake up each day
To help someone find their way
Then one more next day
Woods brushed in rich glows,Brisk fragrant breeze sweeps the air,Fall shouts its hello.
i sew up my fears
like skin knits its wounds; sliced soul
threaded with scorched dreams.
each time i let you
get close, you bury my words
in a lost cause: us.
i don’t know how to
let you in, and i don’t know
how to let you go.
my grief is the tide;
the ocean moves, but the waves
never disappear.
they said my passion
would set the world on fire. i
was the one who burned.
dark hides our demons,
but night is fragile. one light
can hold it back: you.
spring is forgetting,
spring is silent rain after
the real storm has passed.
i am drenched in rain;
i drip thunder, sigh lightning,
but you’ve quelled my storms.
an artist’s true skill:
giving purpose to mistakes.
you’re my masterpiece.
i write stories with
moonbeams, hang stars and planets
between earth-bound breaths.
i fall to find pearls
beneath calloused feet— crowns are
not crafted, but grown.
we gather glances
that fragment and complete us
when we fear alone.
“i sing harmonies.”
she shakes her head. “you were born
to be melodies.”
Her lips, sweet wet lips,
hundred roses in their burst,
can't with them compete.
#haiku
It feels like heaven,
yet it hurts like nether hell,
beware! It is love.
#a_haiku
Sieze me, confine me,
engorge your sacred soul, with
this madness for you.
#renga #KISS
I see the future.
I will wake up everyday day.
To make it happen.
Gazing at the specs
on your face; stars in the sky
of my universe.
#a_haiku
The wind shook the trees
The wind the trees have withstood
With broken branches.
Inside life’s cocoon,
my soul gently vascillates,
between love and pain.
#a_haiku
You are the lyrics,
I write in my mind and heart —
my soul's poetry.
Alas! mangled Eos,
let me heal your riven heart,
see dawn reign again.
#haiku
Life after life, yet
it will still be you I choose
because I love you.
This insanity —
a delusion we call love,
while it rapes the heart.
Strolling in my mind,
every path leads to your arms,
on each twist and turn
Tango in the sky -
passions burn through the dark, in
midnight rendezvous
Hark! the moaning stream,
flowing in lush Tasman's turf,
stir my soul's desire.
A sylphic Venus
her spell rouse my senses wild —
natures perfect bloom.
Her wanderlust heart,
coerce her from dream to dream,
dreams unknown to her.
Were I a poet,
you'd be the lyrics I write,
now and forever.
Chorus of the waves,
flowing with the gloaming tides,
hum their rhythmic rhyme.
Words are the echo,
of the cry of my silence —
my soul's cry for you.
Just like a madness,
A force no law can restrain,
Love defy reason.
Held in her love lock,
removed from all time and space,
my own shadow fades.
If stealing your heart
is sin - blessed is this sinner,
in the pits of hell.
Five, Seven, Five.
Who knew these numbers would be my drive.
All I had known a poem to be
was words with rhyme and rhythem so free.
A childs game was all it became.
Oh see and observe.

As the sun rises
All I want to do is sleep
Darkness is my friend
Poems have no bounds
From setting sun to high sea
That is why I'm free.
Freedom from strict rules
Humor's subjective
Some will have different tastes
Others will be dull.
Life is very short
It is much like this haiku
Short yet compelling.
Life is very short
It is much like this haiku
Short yet compelling.
Excavate my soul
Find Words trapped within my flesh
They are all I have.
Falling, glistening,
A small raindrop waits about
Wanting to be found.
writing poetry
I'm not very good at it
Although I do try
Luscious blonde to black,
Every color in between.
Your locks I adore.

A grain of dust falls,
With no purpose but to fall.
What am I to thee?
Scurrying about
Wide eyes wary of feline watch.
Gaze fixed, now they run.
Simply, be beautiful
Perfect beginning from end.
Doth it says, “He dies.”
A subtle drop falls
Falling from his face
Be it tears, or blood, it falls
A thrown skipping stone
Sinking to the river floor
Creeping to the shore
A cool waterfall
To a rushing river far
Flowing to the sea
A flow from within.
Deep within the soul it flows,
Pouring from her eyes.
Its blue depths strike fear,
What life lies within its murk?
I need no answers.
Enlightenment is
Found through the expression of
One's self, uncontained
Japanese haiku (7-5-7)
Kanzen ya
Chiisana mado de
Shin no koe
Poetic translation: (3-5-3)
Perfection;
This tiny window,
Spoken words heal soul
Autumn leaves fall and nourish
Living beings born
An urge with no name...
You followed me everywhere...
My one weakness: you.
Is that all there is?
If so, what am I to do?
Answer me, STUPID!
What is this you seek?
Trying to find a way out?
Do not run away.
God help me, I beg.
If I didn't have to write,
I would be alright.
Everyone is white
There is no diversity
They hate difference
They are watching you
Those blades of grass are watching
They are all around
With a knife like wind
I too shall sweep into you
And cut what's most dear.
Poetry calms me.
It helps me step back and breathe
through life and struggles.
Another sound joins
for one second of beauty;
Golden chords playing.
I was introduced, through the limerick,
To writing poetry, I knew every trick
But my teachers found
I would rather go in the ground
Than write another limerick
Then they introduced
I just want a paycheck to a middle class life.
I just want a husband so I can be a wife.
Still living with this bullshit hype.
I'm Aquarius But what does that mean to me?If I don't believe
I know this is shortAnd it is quite to the pointI'm Aquarius
It doesn't mean muchIf it tells you the same thingEmpty zodiac
passing earth’s shadow
opposite side from the sun
lunar eclipses
a full moon’s shadow
as beautiful as can be
within earth’s umbra
this bird is cool now
Actually it is not
the bird is now fine
Time creates a turning circleWhere my words playTangled and hurtful
Gently blend the makeup inCover those tired bruisesThen forgive and forget
You are merciless
and no matter where I run
it is into you
I don't want to smell your barbequed flesh.
The bloody juice mess.
The pasturized puss.
Poetry and I,
We are inseparable.
We are long lost friends
Who found each other
Inside cracks of foaming hate
And melting sorrow.
Poetry and I,
We are connected by truth.
I wish you hell.
Through a stairwell.
Or elevator.
Cats & dogs.
Butterflies & Bullfrogs.
Blogging it & blogging it.
Your the reason that the world made divorces.
Could you be the most evil bitch in the world?
You stole my life.
Your eyes speak.
Your pace continues to creep.
Seduction is weak.
I will take action.
You have no reaction.
I can't end these contractions.
Don't choke on my dust.
Everything you touch rots to rust.
You I never did trust.
Yes this is my bed & breakfast.
Get used to it for it will last.
Dessert is not in the past.
I am next in line.
I banish you from my mind.
Hidden where you can not find.
The foil crumbles.
Your words mumble.
Your plans fumble.
Who needs correction?
Diseased from the infection.
Of deaths resurrection.
Always trying hard.
Abusive devil drinks near.
A senior I'll be .
Scary noise.
Perverted boys.
Obscene toys.
Nippy in the frosty air.
You don't give a fuck or even care.
I got icicles in my hair.
Alone in my car.
No gas won't get me very far.
Never drive if your drunk from a bar.
Infatuation of Identification.
Declining penetration.
Stalling creation.
Calling your name!
Not listening.
Always Ignoring.
To see an Irish sunset.
To die in Ireland where my past life rests.
America I detest.
Sleeping in my car alone.
Escaping the filth & stench "home".
When the rats & the flies roam.
I can no longer keep my eyes open.
I do not want to work mornings I'm hoping.
Afternoons & evenings but not nights.
Just go to sleep.
Timid and weak.
Dreams you seek.
Sometimes it's too scary to sleep.
Insomnia from a rat phobia.
So far from etopia.
My eyes are dry.
Sleep I should try.
Deprivation is bad.
Your a shiny star.
You're ambitions will take you far.
I map quest road trips in my car.
Meditate to soothe your sorrow.
Commune this afternoon.
Pray tonight for tomorrow.
Broken pieces.
Needing releases.
Anger ceases.
Sitting straight.
To your back don't hurt.
Goblins are not our friends.
Is this the right way?
With me will you stay?
We can share today.
Grab what you want.
I am here to taunt.
What I have I flaunt.
Deaf as a dumb ass.
Tough as a bad ass.
Greedy like a fat ass.
I saw the hatred in your eyes.
I had believed all your lies.
My instincts were right.
Imagination is everlasting.
Possibilities are casting.
Deception is masking.
You can't attack this fortress.
Your cannon launch missed.
Poisonous lips you kissed.
Skirts, jackets, & jeans with denim.
Flannel, plaid, cotton, get 'em.
Trendy, retro, vintage in the metro.
Define Definition.
Contain affliction.
Remise the confliction.
The sheep herded together.
Exposed to the rain and weather.
I would never wear real leather.
Absorbing the shock.
Bolt cutting the lock.
Smashing the window with the rock.
Where did you get this money?
I am not your honey.
Your not my sugar daddy it's not funny.
It help wanted at an ice cream shop.
At the mall Sloan's?
Gourmet but is it vegan?
I believe you truly knew.
What became of us two.
Away from you on a plane we flew.
Meeting you was fate.
At the boardwalk on my rollerskates.
Your interest in me doesn't seem fake.
Snuggle.
Bundle.
In a quilt or sleeping bag.
Keep them warm.
The baby you born.
Change what's worn.
Me do not corner.
Be a fast learner.
It's a page turner.
Going to sleep.
Don't lurk or creep.
To yourself just keep.
Broken hearted.
Dearly departed.
Closely guarded.
Is today going to be the day the toilet gets fixed?
Laziness is mixed.
Is the plumbers tools made out of sticks?
Reaching out.
Know what it's all about.
Don't lie when in doubt.
Mother nature so incredible.
Rainbow is every storms promise.
A cyclone you don't want to miss.
Coffee wore off.
No food.
No invitations how rude.
Interior.
Exterior.
Posterior.
Permission to launch.
Secure the vessel.
Smily face.
Tornado sucks you in.
Tosses you around like a hollow tin.
Accidental sin.
Inappropriate in the work place.
Too much face to face.
Not enough coffee to have grace.
Shooting range.
Camp outs not so strange.
Great with kids.
See that?
Unattached.
Still a catch.
The final piece.
No release.
Puzzlement had cease.
Industrial size.
Was the weapon of demise.
A detective so wise.
Deserving better.
Said the letter.
The tears get wetter.
Narrow hips.
Luscious lips.
Long radiant hair.
The hurt your feeling.
A morbid dealing.
Getting through the healing.
Honest and true.
All I have you knew.
Now it's just us two.
Angelic creatures beauty so profound.
Celestial essence unbound.
Spiriual orbes of elements surround.
Alarm triggered.
Evidence figured.
Conviction don't have to be a wizard.
Cloudy skies memorable air.
Forest critters.
Babies of litters.
May I have it?
Sample bit by bit.
Butterscotch sauce.
Bouncing bears.
Care bears there.
Snuggly soft pair.
We shook hands.
Answered all questions.
I had no attitude.
Punched in the socket.
For the change in your pocket.
Charged like a rocket.
Catapillars metamorphosize into butterflies.
Maggots become flies.
Eggs hatch, honeycomb detach.
Lied about being certified.
Man cave.
To misbehave.
Trash diggers.
Gold digger.
Grave digger.
Parasite.
Not alright.
Contracted from a flight.
No I did not.
Yes you did.
Son of a bitch!
Yes I can start on Tuesday.
Part time is okay.
They called me before May.
Okay turned around.
Bend over.
Spread em....what?
I would have to wear beige pants.
For ten months I had raved & rant.
Finally given a chance.
Will I be chosen?
My hope has rosen.
It is just part time.
I have a smart phone.
I have no WiFi or computer at home.
I do not roam.
Persuade me to stay.
You are not safe.
Your love is fake.
Have the strength.
Not to prank.
Poverty stank.
I must disengage.
For a higher wage.
Release me from this cage.
I like my clothes tight.
It just looks right.
Selfies tonight.
You poked.
I joked.
They choked.
The sewer stench is foul.
Rusted metal wow.
Human waste a bitter taste.
Above the barbed wire.
Birds fly higher.
The building burns with fire.
Is the trust gone?
Have you found where you belong?
Karaoke a sad song.
The evening is chilly.
In this thin dress that's frilly.
No sweater in this weather how silly.
Vulgar & obscene.
Unpredictable & mean.
Unholy & unclean.
Crazy bitch can be your spirit name.
Psycho fuck can be your nickname.
Loca lunatic can be your screen name.
I want to be cashier of the month.
Don't spike my punch.
Let's not do lunch.
Too spicy.
Ditzy.
No longer pretty.
Short stumby nails.
Sausage fingers molest & get bail.
Yet brimstones don't hail.
Confused with the shouting.
Abused by the outing.
Traumatized by the finding.
Restrained against your will.
Given a sedative pill.
Mentally ill.
Accomplished a journey.
Transported to another room on a gurney.
Psycho Ward voluntarily commits.
Victims of lifeless bodies.
Violent crimes sentences can't rewind.
Justice some never find.
No more cursive writing.
Signatures in print what a sighting.
Maybe education will stop teaching math too.
Blank stare.
Mind is not there.
Nobody cares.
Disturbing images of death.
Sadistic trauma of what's left.
Forever Haunting.....
Scary ghost.
In your sleep possesses you as a host.
Wants to destroy you the most.
By the family courts we were divided from being together
Mother & daughter rights was a never.
Her best interest recommendation was stupid not clever.
Are you starting?
Are we dissolving?
Problems aren't solving.
Chocolate & marshmallows.
Camping with the right fellow.
The camp fire flames were orange & yellow.
I appreciate your kindness.
To mend such a mess.
I couldn't ask for anything less.
I watched you from the window on a summers day.
Wishing together we could one day play.
To each other would we know what to say?
Sun rays pierce through the tree branches.
Reindeers gather and prance.
To chase them if given a chance.
She said "Hi".
She felt so nervous she wanted to die.
I was so proud I could cry.
Watch a featurette.
Promise you won't regret.
Tickets for two we get.
You are not a bitch.
The kidnapper is the witch.
Liars are a two faced snitch.
Embark to be.
Sequester me.
Conjure thee.
Grace has a beautiful face.
Joy had a boy.
Destiny left what's left of me.
Did I say something wrong?
Why do I get blocked & deleted and not to belong.
Why should friendships take this long?
Sweaty skin.
Exercise to be thin.
Exhaustion begins.
My hope is falling.
Our instincts are calling.
Your misery is bawling.
You will get your turn.
Who is next to burn?
The lesson is never learned.
Take into account.
What it is you know but can not pronounce.
Success not a single ounce.
Job interviewers with a lame excuse.
Filling out more applications is no use.
Discrimination is abuse.
Echoing steps down the corridor.
Running & slamming doors.
Basketballs & volleyballs, racket from the floor.
The shadows glowed bright.
Electrifying the night.
The moon has a round light.
Dangling above thee abyss.
Darkness envelopes our being.
Blindness without seeing.
Go with me there.
Pretend that you care.
Beside me as a pair.
Alone and still tired my body lays down.
Invisible and unfound.
Cloaked but bound.
Intoxicated madness.
Abscurd and outlandish.
Fallen, broken misery to banish.
Uncharted, discarded, what you started.
Carefully worded yet becoming converted.
The moment served it's purpose.
Unforgiven.
Executed.
Polluted.
Abandon the past.
Forgetting the future.
Not feeling the present.
Majestic and poetic.
Unaffected by the elements.
Tested, undefeated, overheated, & cheated.
The air around me
Shakes with the intensity
of utter silence
A soft summer wind
Blowing by me constantly
An unchanged peace
A masked gray murmur
The Sun has gone now, rain falls
She is calling me
He wants to touch me.
Skin on skin.
Should we begin?
Thriving
Hiding
Confiding
Confused, alone, naked without a home.
Banished, abandoned, forgotten & hated.
Used, exploited, sold, & degraded.
Nothing to drink.
Nothing to eat.
Nothing to wear.
Avasive & not persuasive.
Non believer adoring you.
Misreading forever needing.
Stay away from me.
Stalkers, rapists, & homewreckers.
Your all heartless & faceless.
Psycho complex.
You have too much drama.
Don't call me I ain't your mama.
Don't neglect what you reflect.
Detect what's negative & deflect.
With no regret destiny you get.
Random senseless acts of violence.
Hate crimes of consequence.
Justice has no sequence.
You wanted to hold hands.
You wanted to touch my boobs.
You wanted to drive my car.
You took away my father.
You took from me my daughter.
You took my virginity.
Touching no slapping.
No pinching or clapping.
No babysitting or napping.
Bullies make you cry.
They lack empathy & compassion.
No remorse with sadistic nature.
He said he wants a three way.
The alcohol will make us stay.
He wants to do it in the parking lot at the bay.
I just need a knife
to cut fruits and to survive.
Simple as it can be.
Two men, one island.
A single fruit on the trees.
Friends until the end.
There is so much stress
There is so much pain also
There is still some hope
There is even some light now
There is light right now
There is you, my one true love
There is always you
I need my mask.
Temporary cosmetics don't last.
It washes off to reapply is a task.
Is this website dead?
Are my poems being read?
Does anyone remember what I said.
School is important.
Starting outside of work.
Exploring a lot.
By; Stephen Mangiaracina
Black Out Curtain Up
Waiting Heart Racing Theater
Stage Lights Up Play On
I need the air to
Breathe in some necessary
Nutrients for life.
All I need is us.
For us to love each other,
care for each other.
Panic, dread, being lost, nervous, & unclear.
Senseless, without purpose or cause.
Waiting, wondering, in pause.
Feeling of something worse.
No manners is a curse.
Impressions are important if you want to impress.
Hypnotized by the sirens song of seduction.
I have an unclear whiny voice.
Flowers & fireworks.
Inside these walls true love never occurred.
A fantasy dreamed is too blurred.
My point of view obscured.
At 13 I was a victim.
At 23 I was a mother.
At 38 I am unemployed.
You can't love.
Without trust.
You can't trust without love.
A havoc of ecstacy.
Brain damaged euphoria.
Disintegrated brain cell mass.
Is this website dead?
Are my poems even being read?
I guess it doesn't matter what I said.
How would we ever live together?
You can't stand to be with me more than 3 days.
You ignore me the whole time with your video games.
I am interested in the job.
Or I wouldn't have applied for it.
I wouldn't of went to the interview.
You think I am boring.
You lay there snoring.
You only call when you need some whoring.
I haven't mastered the skill of levitation.
I can't engineer aviation.
Mankinds grand designs.
Join hands & focus.
Close your eyes & concentrate.
Relax & open your mind.
Slam, bam, wam.
Slap, flap, clap.
Push, shove, drag.
Migration.
Hibernation.
Igloo Station.
Fly across the room.
Help is not soon.
Demise is your doom.
For eleven years I sit here in this duplex.
No husband, no friends, no job.
Misery, filth, stench, eats & mold.
I would want to work beside the ocean.
Along the board walk at a souvier shop.
I wonder if they have many shoplifters.
I don't know why I have not be chosen.
Not for a job or as a wife.
I am trapped & stuck in this hellhole.
To be stung by jellyfish.
Not your surfing fantasy wish.
On it you have to piss.
What's wrong with people today & from lifetimes ago?
Some if not most people can't be reformed you know.
To prison or jail is where they stay and go.
I'm stalling.
It's scary.
Avoiding the inevitable.
I don't eat cheese because it's not vegan.
Enzymes are a living organism.
Caravores don't understand.
Old people shouldn't wear diapers.
Like babies.
Too stubborn to go into a convelesent home.
Let me catch up.
Call me don't hit me up.
I hate your slang.
Do not get a sexual disease.
Not all of them have cures.
Only sleep with people you love.
Do I look happy?
This duplex is crappy?
Set it on fire.
Bullshit club cards.
Price tags that discriminate.
Different prices for different customers.
Been there before.
Shown to the door.
Born, live , & die poor.
Memory loss from neuro toxic pollution.
Exterminate is a solution.
Demolition is a clue.
Do not waste the twilight.
Embrace the sunshine.
Share the universe.
No worst feeling in the world.
When be raped.
Being a child is a hundred times worse.
We will make it.
Time will break it.
The two of us together don't fit.
You are mean & you do not trust.
But I will not hurt you.
I sit & stare I will wait for you to come to me.
Construct a rope out of sheets.
More dependable than shoelaces?
Plan your escape.
Your world is silent.
Your ears can not hear.
Your eyes to not fear.
Their teeth are so white.
Their skin pale.
Their eyes clear.
You look offended.
I was recommended.
Was sended.
Don't run.
You are the one.
This is not done.
Turbo slurp.
Offensive burp.
Apprehended purp.
Your a slob in the highest degree.
Look in the mirror, do you see?
Partners we won't be.
There you were.
A desire so pure.
True loves cure.
You made me cry.
Burning my feelings.
My heart simmers to ash.
Somewhere over thee Irish cliffs.
Along the sea side waves flip.
Cast always stranded with sunken boats
I will never be in Forbes.
I will never be rich.
Everyone thinks I'm a bitch
Dehydration.
Water the one thing I need.
Water for me please.
I am behind in my writing.
My life I am confiding.
The truth I am not hiding.
The lizard crosses the sand.
Under the palm tree I watch & stand.
A coconut falls and beside me it lands.
(Haiku)
To a deserted
Island I bring the will to
Persevere with me
There’s a lot to speak
But nothing to be spoken
Smile, and say “Better, mostly”
Solar system of a higher altitude.
Astrology to set the mood.
A date which is charming & not rude.
Greek or Mexican is my favorite food.
Garden of dead blooms
colorless, dry and lonely
sun won't even do
Beauty surrounds me,
Though, my eyes and mind are closed,
Time slips away like sand.
Two eyes meet, smiles form,
A love blossoms like the spring,
Though, ends at winter.
It starts with a pen,
Then, with words that speak the mind
Leaving a poem.
Yellowed paper
Broken corners and ripped cover
I’m glad it’s only a book
stroke his soft gray stripes
sandpaper tongue rasps gently
he sits and listens.
One small grey Thursday
Fog drifts up from the valley
At least the birds are gay
Tangerine
Sweet Acid
Burns my throat
Ink on my palm
Some things
Don’t last
It is a circle
Upside-down and Backwards
That's all you'll SEE
The circle of Life
Has no Beginning or End
unlike You and Me
I am only Me
Upside-down and Backwards
1.
Mechcanical man
Rundown machine still has use
Broken as I am
2.
Living piece of night
Inky slinky shadow cat
From the darkness, purr
3.
Colors of life, gone
Very shy and yet outgoingA lonely girl of mysteriesShare your many stories.
It takes time to understand what's important The needs are from what takes us apart. A thought not provoked alone but together A collective of sorts.
i'ld take my boyfriend
he is making me take him
i'ld rather have sleep
...
WHICH I NEVER GET ANY MORE BECAUSE OF HIM
It's nearing the end
'So long for a while' I say
I'm graduating
The one thing I need
Is faith, indeed you can see
My heart finds solace.
Whispers in my ears
Snow crystals decorate hair.
My face is bitten.
I really need words
Communication is key
My words are my life
I know they are here
I know they are beside me
Even far out here
loving someone can
be the most powerful thing
to happen in life
dreaming of your eyes
and the way they see the world
brings me so much joy
One through which we see The bond shared between lovers To whom I speak to
I just need an A.
Shakespeare, I love you, but soft --
What are you saying
The dark that engulfs
The missing piece of my life
Where I am asleep
Assignments and stress
Expectations;Denial
Eight classes; I'm free
You call me Beauty,
The mirror, Frankenstein's bride,
Do not let me burn
October midnight
falling star in the dark sky-
summer’s soul has passed
monosyllabic:a word that truly need notbe such a mouthful.
Teach me how to learn
I know how to pass this test
But how do I learn?
I sip the coffee
A warm, calming aroma
For now, I'm awake
You breathed butterfliesThat fluttered in my ribcageAnd ate me alive.
As autumn leaves kiss,
My heart pleads, "color-blindness,"
To blur when we broke.
Am I artistic?Do I fit the description?Am I sufficient?Do you fux with it?This style I'm developingDo I have talent?Why am I asking?Rhetorical questioningThe third time around
Gentle beating blush, Heated face matching warmed heart, By crafted words lush. Your endearing smile, Brings one of my own to life, By your love beguiled. Shy gestures, meet anew, Same us, but new emotion, Stunning, simple, true.
Last pitch of the game
Full Count and Bases loaded
And the Winner is...
Caught on a pop fly
Tagging up to steal third base
Too slow, You're Out!
Jumping off the bag
Running fast to the next base
Slides to avoid tag...safe!
Red lines on white face
Held in a leathery hand
Until thrown to home
Blue and grey all day
Behind the plate or in-field
What's the call? Appeal?!
Snap, drop, pop and go.
Is it high or was it low?
And the call was...ooh?
What will it be now?
Here it comes...over the plate.
Am I mad at you?
Holding a grudge is hard work.
Time is too precious.
water, calming
sailing on my little boat
land a far off thought
It smells like rain, dear.
The grey sky cries heavily.
I want to cry too.
Smell of the night
Darkness rising in the sky
chasing out the day.
Bustling through the cracks
Reaching high to the heavens
Emanating life
Bustling through the cracks
Reaching high to the heavens
Emanating life
Sleeping, little shape,
Tail twitching from playful dreams,
Peaceful, purring, sweet.
I have the unique
Ability to hide all my
Feelings for people
I fell hard for you
From the first word to last breath
But kept it hidden
I hid all I could
it's the start of a
new season, crisper
air and revival
Snow falls down silent
White glittering in moonlight
Knights trot under stars
Poor college student:
Free food you say? No? Okay...
Sorry I'm busy.
Blooms' aromas mutter
to the breeze, silencing man
hypnotic pleasure.
The hidden stars
The lost moon
Only rise enlightening the darkest nights
The easy breeze sways
The tips of the pine trees and
The birds sing softly.
I am a haiku.
I am not what I once was.
But change, change is good.
Our eyes were strangers
Emerge a new beginning
Your hugs touch my heart
(Hauki Poem)
Awesome are the things
Made with Love Creator God
Has given to us.
The sky, the stars, and
Caresses from the bright moon
Are just a small piece.
She is a strong tree
Unbending, Defending, Strong
Shelters me from harm
Breaking silence, her
voice, quiet hope to create
Arise from the ash
Reach for constellations bright
You will soon emerge
Tears of joy from the
Sky rest on the windowpane
Dampening my view
Shit. Robbed again?! I
Really need to keep an eye
On the fucks I have.
Deprived and cheated
Haiku Stories, Volume 2: The Frog
Haiku Stories, Volume 1: Undervalued
I can hear their words
They fight loudly, then play nice
This is my family
I can see his face
Haiku Stories, Volume 3: Amalgamation
When the sun shines bright,
And your loved one holds you tight,
Everything feels right.
The world is awesome,
Especially with your friends,
Unless you have none.
Leaves in fire colors
Halloween and trick or treat
Pumpkins on front steps
At last! Free from school!
Hot, sunny days-- pool weather
Lemonade with straws
Wet, rainy mornings
Tentative sunshine by noon
Flowers start to bloom
Snowball fights outside
Hot chocolate with whipped cream
Cozy indoor life
I'd like to point out
The injustice of it all
Watching the world fall
Oh, the break of dawn
Pure, simple beauty
Peaceful, silent air
Rain falls from above
Cleansing all impurities
Washing fears away
No food or water,
Children look around for help.
Will they eat tonight?
5 syllables, for every line.
Stones under my feet
It had always looked so big
I hold my own hand
“in my menstrual fight,invisible warriordrinking fallen blood”
Loving your body
at times where you need it most.
Cherish those moments.
All trees are stretching,
Shaking off heavy blankets,
Buds blossoming out.
She was a willow
bending, a tearful beauty
rooted and serene
He was the lightning,
much too bright for his own good
strong and destructive
Acting happy and
acting like nothing is wrong
but in all honesty
my world is shattering
my glass castle is falling
into the swirling
darkness, wallowing
in the back of my scarred mind
Hold me close to you
Let me feel the love beating
Vibrating within
Haikus
In the dark forests,
beams of light pass through the leaves
thick blanket of sleep
shroud me in your gentle darkness
so I no longer have to weep
golf is fun sometimes
but, during the summer it
gets hot and sweaty
Compromising ment
Lips creating a soft dent
For our love is sent.
Message delivered
Warm embrace makes me shiver
But the cold feels good.
It shines so brightlyupon your near perfect skinfor once, I am home.
The sun sets slowlyand again, I am left hereuntil it returns.
I will love you whenthe leaves fall and the snow landsOn your eyelashes.
Warmth And Rain Of Spring
Bring Joy And Wonder Around
i am flawless nahfuck that shit flaws are a partof me and i'm proud
Fingers intertwined
stomach filled with butterflies
all you want is death
Only wanting warmth
fingers stretch to reach the sky
body hits the ground
Universes scream
tearing apart the cosmos
it is beautiful
Nice, Loyal
And One of a Kind
Open Book
Rising in the East
Waking us with bright colors
Setting in the West
Flow uncontrollable,
life is continuing onward
do not try to control.
A deep brown, and no
florescent. Unbothered, flawed, and
no makeup. Its Me.
No filters needed
A selfie reflects you
Hi Ku! "Haiku?" Who?
"Haiku!" Who's Ku? "Haiku!" You?
"Haiku! Words!" What? Who?
One love, oops, too late.
And so it did rain,
Dark clouds fell across the sky,
And it did renew.
I adore them all
My personal flawless flaws
They are who I am
They peek out behind
The clouds. And show their pretty
late at night, can't sleep
my brain screams my fears at me,
sensing my weakness.
my brain is scattered
on the floor, walls, and ceiling,
just like my pictures.
My blood sugar's high.
Oh well, the cake was worth it!
Time for insulin!
Never black and white
Never still always fluid
A beautiful mess
She holds her pencil
takes your darkest nightmares, and
draws them into light
In darkness
I see a speck of light
Fleeting in my realm
I collect playbills
and rarely view them again.
Materialism?
Snow lands on my glove
yet I feel the sensation
on my fingers. Why?
Good behavior is
up to interpretation
It is not my lack of flaws
that make me flawless
It's my acceptance of them
Sweet pepperoni
I chew you in my lawn
Damn, sauce on my shirt
Everyone struggles
Yet no one
Gives a flying fuck
Tearing at my soul
Are the words
"I never loved you."
Salty drops fall as
She loses
Her composure
Though my life is hard
And I am engulfed in pain
I always look up
You say that time flies
I'm dreading every second
Today's a new day
God let me have this morning
Noon, nectar, nocturne.
Delirium
Mom’s screaming again
While my step dad lashes out
I run to my dad
The warm sensation
The feeling of being safe
The love of a dad
My heart longs for you
I swear I'll be true to you
Although you are not
College stresses me.
I want to die everyday.
But it is worth it.
Behold my dark heart
Reflections show my faint light
Light that gifts to all.
seep and fill my mind
join to create, innovate
I am still learning
Haiku number one.
The words escape fleeting breath.
My mind's in darkness.
Black is night and the
Color for death, White is light
and helps erase death.
Ravens are feared by
Most and loved by some but also
they are majestic
Life is an endless
Puzzle, one must figure out
one side at a time.
Belonging to your
Life is as tidious as
being all alone.
Moon and sun in the
Sky will never be as one
anymore until time stops.
Tripping and Falling
Down into the abyss where I
am to spend my days.
River flows slowly,
Through the open valley of
Hidden shadows now
Hidden in the day
Ever Changing in the night
The moon will shine bright.
Hiding in the night
Present in the day warming
the earth we stand on.
Time moves by quickly
Everyone is hurrying
By me as i walk.
Stars shine bright in the
Night for one and all to see
Everyday turns night
Flowing through me like
A never ending river
My tears fall once more.
Short simple and sweet
Is what makes a haiku, so
One needs to balance.
Light in the bright of
Day. Makes for sadness in
the eternal night.
Darkness Resides
Me, The only comfort I
Have, is lost in time.
They can't see me, but
I can see them through the crack
This curtain is safe
Spiritually blessed,
This wandering soul triumphs;
Prevaricating
Never finish last
Staying above average
The Aquarium;
Fish, Seaweed, Coral, Beauty.
So much damn water...
Today I wake up
study, socialize, breath
wash, rinse, and repeat
Love planted a seed
That's grown into a flower
Forever in bloom.
Once upon a time,
I thought you were my prince but,
Oh, how I was wrong.
Try, train, never give up
Push yourself to be better
Do something worth it
Find something worth it
Keep it in your heart and mind
Now go and get it
Confidence in you
Even when it's not easy
Believe in yourself
You are important
Don't you ever forget that
Work to change the world
Exact image shown in a different light
Image relected back to you
shows you the way others view you.
Laugh at little things
Before you get too busy
Live, laugh, love, and dream.
You took my heart and
left it all alone to die
who can I trust now
There I sat staring
As every color flew by
Oceans of madness
The mind shivers while the hearts warmth melts foot prints in the soul.
Fields of sunflowers,
secrets, whispered words of love.
Have you forgotten?
Small, happy red fish
flipping in the bright blue waves.
Jump, splash, goodbye friend.
Out of anyone
and everyone, you're the one
I can count on most.
Selfless and caring
and charming is what you are;
full of compassion.
You believe in me
the fair morning fog
the steam from my coffee
mixing together
Behind The Curtain,
stands Lydia Davis Jolley,
a percussionist.
Behind the curtain
stands a passion that burns
music is my life.
Behind The Curtain
stands me a dreamer
We Are But Specks Of The Stars
Flashes Of The Light
Luminous Dust In The Wind
Insanity comes
And never truly goes away
What do you think sir?
Look all around you
Do you see the darkness child?
Devouring us all...
Where, the scent of rainDeeper into the forestTime falls from the skySky, cannot be seenThe clouds fight ferociouslyBlood spills on the earthEarth, covered in light
Water coming down,
Gravity pulling it down,
The rain will soon touch...
The battle rages,
not to be quelled within me.
Who is the victor?
I smell rain to come
Delightful, yet heavy too.
Delivering Peace
They whistle and howl
Am I just a piece of meat?
Faster, wolves devour
Note to Reader:
I am a woman.
I expect to able to walk down the street and not fear for my safety.
I am a woman.
Life goes on and on.
Everything will be ok.
Don't give up just yet.
Pride and power
What tricks you play!
You deafen the ears
Of those astray.
~2/2/14
Beautiful spring day,
roses and lilies growing,
overwheling scene.
Turning through the world
never having and ending
and never controled.
grey and almighty
gentle suffocation from
Sand in between toes.
I was choking on the sea.
Exposed in the sun.
Darkness is a friend
I'm drowning from the inside
Nobody save me
I cant help but noteSome people have a fetishFor drawn mustaches.

Winter Feelings
A freezing morning.
We are upended,
Like a tortoise on its back.
The world is chaos.
Growing up, surrounded by relatives in the medical field
Move. Get out of my
sight. The world does not revolve
Lies are action books
Misplaced on dusty shelves
Among nonfiction.
Drink your coffee strong
sing me your silly little song
go home before dawn
Sun set after rise
Gazed upon by tons of eyes
Here, the sea line dies
Wedding love--rare depth
Uncommon variation
Sought four leaf clover
Feet pounding the earth
Salty sweat drips in my eyes
Not too much longer.
Sometimes it rains
Somtimes babe, it downpours
Will you still kiss me?
My future is bright
Even though I'm scared sometimes
I know god is right
Life is fast for you
You should always get back up
When you trip and fall
Doublespeak is a
Language of lies put behind
Scholarships cause stress.
Will the judges like my poem?
It is a haiku.
The leaves surround me
The colors inspire me
Autumn is serene
Words Are Poetry
Your Words make you who you are
Just express yourself
Love is a fire
It can and will sometimes warm
Other times it BURNS
My eyes are bleeding
This secret... I scream, pleading
He kills me, my poem
Haikus are every-
WAIT!!! Get the syllables right!
-where. Including here.
Leaves fall from a Tree,
Landing on the lifeless Earth,
Life leaves its Branches.
I lay counting sheepThe ground becomes icy coldHelpless, left for dead
The variegatedthoughts of my blasphemous handsyoung and malicious.
How do you know what is real?
Does it think or breathe?
Or does it simply exist?
Little fish look for food
While worrying
About becoming it
Busy street
So many faces
So few people
Ideas
Like thunderbolts
Fall from the sky
The smooth ocean breeze
The shining sand on the beach
The cool calming sea
Standing in the dark
Looking at the starry night
Waiting for a sign
Life's a mystery
One must choose to follow it
Its unknown secrets
I am your Father!
OK! Where is the money?
With my last honey...
I am a phoenix,
Ashes only bring rebirth.
Your flames hurt me not
If they are happy
love is love regardless
why should we judge them
A life, a future
Determined by ambition,
stars are the limit.
Everyone does it
Heads filled with assumptions
It's human nature
Today I heard you
You spoke to me through a song
Lyrics echoed you
Dirty skies and trees,The gift we’ve left ourselve
A cold stormy breeze
Chilled like my once broken heart
Grace me with your luck
Harlot in disguise
Shrouded in perfect deceit
As a sweet angel
Life as we know it
Life is full of change
Day to day it seems the same
I would change it all
To be free, or maybe just me
To be seen, as me
When one speaks of loss,
Words pour from their barren souls...
Sorrow unmeasured.
Rich scent of autumn,
Pumpkin spice and apple crisp,
Leaves crunched underfoot.
Autumn leaves softly
Touch the frozen earth below.
Winter comes once more.
Night looms dark and bleak;
Abandoned path, ghosts of dreams;
Only sorrow here.
Solitude is just
A pretty word for those who
Find themselves alone.
Looking for grants and scholorshipsGetting ready for college is tough stuffBut the path is paved!
Sometimes I feel like
the sky will crumble down and
pigs will fly away
Paper leaves do shake
Scratching veins and tearing holes
Their skin scrawled with death
Browning purple plum
Flies are buzzing and biting
Sipping her life down
Golden ray of light
Tip-toes sparkling to the earth
Turning dust to art
Drought but still drowning
Forest fires and broken levees
Must be summertime
As I gaze at it,
into the eyes of the beast,
so I see myself.
A dark, dreary night
Sitting here, waiting for warmth
Tears roll down my face
The cool, breezy air
Spring has finally arrived
New plants emerging
The joy spreads throughout
"Beyond reason's grasp."
Excuse me? Look at science!
We THRIVE on reason!
CDs everywhere.
Fast forward a few more years.
Phones everywhere.
You made some money.
Congratulations. Pass go.
Collect two hundred.
Worthless is the thought
of a soul that has been hurt
Now forever lost
What job do I want
to make words flow off a page
or make healthy well
Heart breaking, tearing
My soul into small pieces
All because of You

Worked at it all day

Brown withered leaves fall,young roses fold, cold snows fade,but we still remain.

A War on the People
The Government is Evil
Solution, Bullets
How does one say this...That you are wonderful and
In wonder I fall (senselessly)
Summer comes and goes
Kissing my skin with its warmth
Smiling in the sky
The trees are lovely,
green, red, orange, gold, and gone.
Then they are naked.
Leaves parade across
All life is music:
tapping feet, drumming fingers,
raucous beating hearts.
I see smoke linger
Feigning fog, clenching my lungs
A dark fever burns
A wilted building
Vines consume the broken beams
Bound to take it back
I will taste the stars
And most likely scorch my tongue,
But I will return
To fly yet once more
Amongst the burnt-out, dead husks
Of those ancient dreams.
Men of all shapes
Has one calling in this life
fuck all fuckables
A haiku that rhymes?Why thats unheard of! You say.Youre right. Not this time.
Mom is amazing
Mom is everything to me
I love her to death
There is no soul left
In this carcass before me
Eating my brains
Feeling tight againNot the cool type that I wishBut claustrophobic
I sit motionlessly, watching the bright rays of light dim over the horizon. I can hear the soothing sound of the waves striking the rocks, and the wet footprints running across the sand.
The sound of laughter
Helped me realize my dream.
I want to save lives.
Tears fall ceaslessly
He lies to me again
Smile to hide his pain
His smile is like stars
Condensed to bright white like the
Snow beneath our feet
How fleeting Truth is.
If only words could be smelled.
Then liars would stink.
Live for your own sake.
Be your greatest advocate.
Euphoria’s yours.
Destroyers of thought.
The greatest horror of all.
Proselytizers.
Relinquish control?
Is my life not mine to live?
Let me live my way.
Delusions haunt us.
Yahweh, Yeti, Zeus, Krishna
All nonexistent.
Rights for everyone.
Liberty is not welfare.
Please think for yourself.
Masks of pumpkin fright
Trick or treat and tooth decay
Downhill injury

Petals down a stream
Bringing change to all passing

Fish out of waterHelplessly flopping aroundTries to go back in
Time to push myself
Time to prove myself to myself
Time to persevere

Steam rises from his nostrils

Come sunrise, we rest.
At moonrise, like fireflies, we
Rise. Muted, in zest.

You think it's our choice
That we're the ones that chose this
But it's the pressure
You need the challenge

You are too lazy
Sometimes I don't know

Is life to humanity,
Living it at once.
First last day of school,
Second day, Senioritious,
Nine more months to go...
Drowning in the sky
No clouds; big blue empty space
My mind wanders off
A feeling insideFlowing out between two heartsBeating together
Here I am, just me,
Standing on the mountain top.
I have changed, renewed.
"You need to know this."
I wonder if it's only
For one single test.

"Think this way." They say.
"This is what is right." They say.
I haven't any say.

I get up at six in the morning,

about shit that makes me start snoring.
When the whole class fails a test
you blame us,
because teacher knows best.
Terrifying, yes.
But unconquerable, no.
Confidence is key.
Pain will one day be
Useful, a tool of wisdom
Simply remain strong
I love good haikus They are an amazing art Too bad this ones done
Smile, you're beautiful.
There's so much out there to see.
Keep your head up; smile
A slap to my face
A strong kick to my weak head
Why father? Mother?
I want to love you,
selfless, with my actions, not
solely with my words.
Fall is upon us,
the cool air surprises me,
Fall Break overjoys.
Football rivalries,
The pep rallies are so tense,
Filled with school spirit.
Ignorance can't teach
The endless clock of time ticks
We are just too late
Seven billion
I'll never meet all of them
I'm glad I met you
I masked my thoughts but
photographs of my pulse
gave them all away
This place sucks hard core
I just want to graduate
Need mature people
I can search the world
but never would I unearth
a woman like you.
I wish I love you
didn’t dissolve so freely
from your careless mouth.
I wear a red dress; Bloodied from a long lost heel; I am now a woman.
be who you want to
don’t conform to life’s standards
stay true to yourself
Dreams travel along
The glimmering strands of time
To inspire men
You carved me music,
frost/dust/blood to my sewn heart.
Touched, and now swollen.
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.
Alaska beauty
Wild, extreme habitat
This state is stunning
Like sails on the ship
the wind careens her hair off
dancing like the flames

The soil here beneath my legs
Softly brass strings strum
Poetry I just cannot seem to quit.
Is their another form that I could do?
Dickinson's poetry is not worth shit,
And there is nothing that can beat haiku.
It sure seems that Robert Frost knows his stuff,
The heart of movement
Strength, Discipline, Grace, Power
Combined into one
Warbling voices
Sorrowful words of reproach
Lulling us through pain.
I have an F but I'm not stupid.
That online homework, I couldn't do it.
They all have laptops and phones with apps.
I have a job while my mom naps.
Impossible to learn at school.
Look up at the stars
See the majesty about
Wondrous gems of light
Slow. Stop. Sympathize.
Claims of compassion corrode.
Heaps of homework hail.
Endless endeavor
To regain strength and hope
I might expire
Beauty is trying
And I would rather not look
I try to survive
Through blind eyes I see
How to love and live- though
Once again Autumn is upon
Leaves are changing,
colors blossom
trees nestle into their winter shell
Year after year, I've always viewed things with such blind eyes
just a tree,
just a color,
Relief: A warm hug.
Relief: A loved one's soft kiss.
Relief: Secret nooks.

I can't be totally sure.
Now I wish I knew.
Leaf on the ground
Silent with the morning dew
Will we stay the same?
Darling. where are you?
She won't let go of her bear
As she gasps for air
A transformation.
Unnoticed but yet, aware.
The beauty in change.
As the green leaves turn
Changing everythingI once crawled, but now I flyNothing can stop me
The rivers don't rest
In the darkness of the night
And neither do we.
Rain is falling down
Down under my camisole
Now I have wet boobs
Twisted and frozen
No longer growing, but still
Claws wrenching from earth
The sun beams and burns
And the sea roars to the beach
Drowning out all sound
Create a cacoon then
Sleep through the winter snowfall
wake up like Samsa

i fell more in love
Snow rain hail sleet ice
Universal solvent
Form Forming Formed is
Dripping dropping in
Clouds crying such gloomy rain
Bow horizon shines
Which college to pick?
How about this one right here?
I am in my room.
My heart aches
and my stomach too
I'm too old to notice you
I was walking
thinking of nothing
“Rubish!”, I yelled.

I write for the broken and the battered,
The ones left in the dark with their voices shattered.
For the ones too weak to rise to glory,
Too scared to tell their story.
For the ones drowning in pain,
I've got spring fever
and you are the only cure,
but winter comes soon.
Blood drips down storm drains-
Pooled thoughts, whirltide emotions
Spatter across time.
An elderly man
Steps out his front door, gazing
toward his letterbox.
A smile emerges
His eyes never leave the box
midnight passes by
due date nearing, stress rising
essay incomplete
So Many Places...
Where do I wan't to go?
Better yet, with who?
The day is cloudy
And yet the sun is shining
Nature fights like us
Hair in a tight knot.
Crusty earth under your nails.
The mother of seeds.
Haiku
Brings to light deep thought
that will release stress of life
to find happiness
One day it will be
The scent of salty citrus
Now it's paper and sweat
On top of the world
That is where I lay today
All because of you.
Daydream of life,
But when you wake up,
Reality faces you.
Hands lock,
fingers curl.
Eyes twitch.
Just a few of the many things
we do together.
When walking on the beach,
seagulls high above us.
People waving hello as we get higher,
Haikus are easy
Everyone can write them
But me
Para aquel hombre sentado bajo el sereno de la noche,
Con su mirada perdida en el tiempo sin ningún reproche,
A ese hombre de cabellos plateado,
La vida lo lleno de doradas riquezas que el mismo fue cosechando,
Calling from the church
I heard God’s refusal and
caught you in my arms.
Ever changing, becoming something else.
Beauty, wisdom, stronger with every passing second.
Come to life once more.
What good is sleeping?
No longer are dreams ideal,
I want life, with you.
Before I met you,
I lost my reason to breathe.
You should feel special.
Raging fire burned.
Warmth of embers now lay cold.
Destruction, rebirth.
Seldom I will show you,
I think that I am not good
I just hide things
Senses unfolding, Speech's inadequacies drown, I will write to be heard.
Haikus make more sense
When written in Japanese
Instead of English
What's Up With Haikus?
They're all about syllables.
And counting them out.
Look at the rainfall.
It trickles down my warm skin.
How amazingly clear.
yes, we are all here
we all have the same knowledge
why are we not family?
Ask me why I write.
And I’ll ask you why you breathe.
Writing is my air.
Thundercloud waters
Tapdance across midnight webs
Into my smartphone.
Dressed in army greens
Brown boots, tags around his neck
Finally he’s home
No trace of a smile
He is very different now
Finally he’s home
He was in the field
How do I believe
When there are so many things
That prove to be wrong?
The butterfly goes
into the dark black forest
and does not show fear.
Writing allows me
to express inner, deeper
feelings, wants, and thoughts.
Poetry, indeedA simple form of flatt'ryRhyming all the time
Blogging with such easeSharing really cool storiesHonestly with hope
Random as can beHaikus are all the rage hereNever dull moments
Snow falls on the ground
Blanketing the land in white
Bright, cold, uniform.
Snow melts and flowers
Rise up tentatively from
The newly freed earth.
Flowers fall and leaves
Smile with thoughts of you
You're a lovely creation
I think I am too
this amazing poem
which is the greatest haiku
is my gift to you
It is killing me
The memories that don’t fade
Unbearable truth
Thin spindly trees
Find it difficult to grow
In such oppression
Why do people write?
To let the whole world see you
from a new angel.
The herd moves today
Following the light of life
We are part of them
For my whole being
To come forth along paper
Expression by pen.
Night-sky rising above
Sunless, precious, occult side
Deeply hidden jewel.
In the cool Spring breeze
the trees dance fluidly
together they're one
Throughout the winter
the white delicate snow falls
so cold and so pure
No limits on time
Easier to gather one's thoughts
Creativity unbound
Rain patters against
The umbrella like seaspray
Against a cloth sail.
Sun shining through the trees,
Breaking light onto me,
Feeling the warmth set me free.
[A series of Haiku about my apprehensions, goals, ambitions, and determination to return to college]
Clouds above loom dark
Shattered by the wind and light
A revelation
Tortured for so long,
Almost nothing left to lose,
But I still need you.
It is summer time
Break out your Bermuda shorts
And your fun flip flops
To get far away
Till I can't even see home
Alone on my own
This place is to small
Suffocating me slowly
My dreams are bigger
Something is out there
Endless opportunities
Why can't I just go
Small and innocent child.
Soft, helpless, dependent child.
Unconditional love.
Warm, gentle, fragile.
Always needs protection.
Safe from all the world...
Behind crumbled walls,
Sunlight bleeds through crevices.
Joy arrives at morn.
Chocolate you taste so good
And in the morning,
My face and your goodness meet
As the moon looks down
Waxing, waning, glowing light
‘Tis good company
Beauty of the moon
Overwhelms the stars
No comparison
In the sky, flawless
Celestial perfection
Never cease to be
Writing many words
Telling a secret story
Telling who I am
Words can save the soul
Words can create a new world
Words provide escape
Rare bird in a tree--
My car, just washed, lies below.
This car needs no shade.
Trusting Him. Better or worse.
I bid farewell.
To the agony of before.
I introduce to you a well developed soul that could nevver get close to shattering.
All this spirit does is Shiver.
Cold enough to burn the skin of its recipients
But always longing for a soothing touch to accompany it
Seas of long, brown trees
sends chills of fear yet calmness.
It embraces you.
Notes trapped between bars,
Trying to beat their way out,
Never escaping.
The fighting is hard
Go into battle everyday
Fighting for country
Refrigerator, Refrigerator,
Running, running, all day long,
I tell a joke.
The sloth moves slowly,
like an old man waking up.
Nature's elderly
An abandoned conch
rings with the sirens' last call
the sound echoes through
I am a poet,
Poetry creates magic,
My words are magic.
Night Gladiolus
Sprung out to the open sky
waiting for the sun...
Searching for blue sky
As the snow flutters downwards
the wind carries me...
Her eyes soften. Watch
as whales breach the ocean's tide;
your body emerges.

I stay up at night
because I hate distractions
from the cruel conscious
II)
I don't like coffee
but I hear artists love it.
Therefore, I indulge.
Eyes full of judgment
Penetrating fires burn
Somehow, I stare back.
Thoughtless actions win,
Losing myself to darkness,
My past never leaves.
No matter where I
go, I will carry you in
the best parts of me.
if a boy calls you weak
remind him that you are strong enough to
hide his corpse in the woods
My love is for you
to the one who does not see
do you love me too
All is transparent
I see every truth and lie
Ignorant am I?
Life swiftly repeats
At times weak and at times deep
Pleading to be eased
Vines choke her Faith
telling to quit Hope
holding on to Love
Raindrops pitter patter here
Sending tears from above
The chill grabbing my spine.
Plant a plant today
It's easy and real simple
And Earth says thank you
Like the tides of time
Foam clouds on emerald skies
Softly kiss the sand
Smile for me, my love
Till your last breath fades away
Please watch over me
Forget what you know,
I speak from experience.
Love does not exist.
Haiku, three lines and
seventeen syllables that
just work together.
The rock stumbled,
tumbled, fell.
Their earth trembled,
said farewell.
Where has High School gone?
It seems like I just started
Four short years ago...
For a perfect Sunday morn’,
Switch the jib once more.
Fair wind and following sail
Time goes by quickly
Responsibilities grow
Enjoy while you can
overflowing sink
dirty dishes, murky water
she ponders pregnancy
casting a christmas pageant
young boy softly chants
“please, not judas”
We’ve been through so much
But we will not be bitter
Hatred is baggage
The stares burn my skin
The worst pain you can imagine
I am stronger than them.
Flowing in the wind
Like a forgotten memory
Never seen again
With every gunshot
I watch my city tumble,
tearing into all.
Fresh green leaf turn red
The hot air turn slightly cold
Fall is coming soon
