Silly me for thinking that you felt the same,
And for believing in love, but I know that I am the only one to blame.
You think I would have learned my lesson by now,
But once again, I am left here wondering 'how?'
I am slowly starting to accept that maybe my path is not going to go how I planned,
Maybe at the end of the day, there will be no one there to hold my hand.
I hate that I am allowing myself to get excited,
Because the whole time I have been telling myself to go into this light hearted.
But I have realized that I have not learned how to keep myself out of this mess,
In life's vast tapestry, where shadows loom,
Amidst the storm, within the gloom,
There lies a beacon, small yet bright,
A glimmer of hope, a guiding light.
I thought I wasn't going to show it to you, but I did,
And now you know how I have felt about you since you were a kid.
After all of this time, maybe now you can finally see,
You are my love
You are my dove
You are the only one whom I want to keep in my heart
You are the liar
You are the fire
You are the only one who made me weep in my hard
You were my law
In the hole of which my heart beats, It’s depth is incomparable.Except to the amount of tears my pillow has endured.Tears caused by my heart that beats twice as much
for someone that has their own.
5 months, trading kisses in my car
Your hands tracing hearts around my arms
Our lives, we knew would never be the same
Oh why’d you have to go and change
4 weeks, that’s all it took for me to fall

A touch of her is like a touch forever, honey is damn sweet, but she's sweeter than honey cumb. Adorable, palatable, unforgettable her memory is. Bringing bliss to my heart ♥ -C9fm
Mon amour, ma femme
Mon amie, mon âme
Quand je dis que je t’aime
Ce n’est pas une plaisanterie
Ce n’est pas une triste moquerie
Ich werde alle Glocken läuten
Für deinen Geburtstag
Ich werde aus meinen Taschen
I am not going to lie, sometimes it is hard to be a good person,
Because everything that is going on around you can cause you to worsen.
When you are going through something, it can be very easy to turn cold,
FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE
If you want your love to last
When all the dreams are past
When excitement dies away
And routine's here to stay

It has taken me some time to realize that there are two parts of your body that will always be at war with one another,
And it seems like no matter how hard you try, they will never agree with each other.
Querida, eu acordo nesta linda manhã de abril
Tão forte quanto um leão cativo, mas apenas uma coisa
Que me preocupa: você está longe de mim e da minha ilha
Amore, mi sveglio questa bellissima fredda mattina di aprileForte come un leone in cattività, ma solo una cosaMi sta agitando: sei lontano da me e dalla mia isolaSei sola, assonnata e lontano dalla terra.
My soul is blanketed in the stars.
I found pure glow,
From my Earth’s soul;
My heart loved it there.
Till you know the softness of rocks and feebleness of mountains
Till you know hardness behind watery concrete
Dr aw near
Tou ch me
With your palms of laughing lights
With tips of thousand suns and moons
Closer than water to my earth.
My story is a mirror of souls I have been daily
With divine ink duly set diurnally
Each season with a taste of weather narrates spirally
I want to build you a library and fill it with all your favorite books
And all the reasons I still love you.
And I will never stop adding to it
That way you can wander the halls of my heart chambers forever.
Hart’s heart stops
Hart’s art lives after him
Hope unendingly bleeds through veins and channels
Hart’s home is the muse
Stormy clouds are traveling through your heartAnd bitter grudges are ruining your happinessHate destroys and love builds everything whichIs beautiful. Get a grip on yourself while the midday sun
5 months, trading kisses in my car
Your hands tracing hearts around my arms
Our lives, we knew would never be the same
But why’d you have to go and change
Hey
4 weeks, that’s all it took for me to fall
When a woman loves youYou can do nothing wrongYou can charm her with a songFrom you, she hardly needs a few.
When a woman loves youThe world looks beautifulEverything is wonderfulWhen she adores you.
She keeps me tossing and turning at night
As he forces me to wake up at first light
She believes in love at first sight
And he strengthens the grip on her kite
When the rain stops
And the sun drops
Below the horizon line
Do not forget the time we shared
Or how I held your hand in mine
But when the sun shines
In your lovers eyes
My mind is a Kaleidoscope of memories that I wish I could burn
But some moments are fireproof
And maybe it helps to see the world through rainbow glasses
Or maybe it’s a curse
And maybe I loved you
Darling, you love me
And yet, I love you more
My angel, you like me
And, but I like you more.
Mujer, mujer, oh dulce mujer
Mi amor, mi cuna, mi comienzo
En mi cuaderno diario
Cada día es tu día
Tú eres mi alma, mi pilar
Happy Birthday, I love you
My first thought when I woke today
Happy Birthday, I remember you
A story I wrote
with the stress lines on my forehead
Happy Birthday and I miss you
Miss your laugh
I was never good at playing these games
Rolling the dice
Going on dates
Crossing my fingers and hoping for the best
I was never the master of board games
Or video games
Or games involving…. Me
I never intended to melt
To fill the mold I was instructed to fill
I never intended to fade
To break away pieces of myself
To squeeze between the cracks
To suck the moisture from the pavement
Love me now while
I can love you in return
Love me now when, at will
I can turn on and off the lantern
Love me now while, still
Listen, dear readers. My name is Hébert.Brierre, Vilaire, Césaire, Baudelaire,And I write sweetly inspiriting words,And about umpteen beautiful things.We find Lociano Benjamin and Victor Hugo
My friends, the most beautiful poems
Written with sweet words are surprisingly new
My saying is not to bugger neither Alfred de Musset
You know I’ve realized
That somehow falling in love
Is the best and worst thing
That can ever happen to a person
You will feel things you never knew you could feel.

I promise I’m not broken,
I just look this way
Because of the pieces I gave away
To fix the broken in someone else
But when something is no longer broken
They no longer need the one who fixes
Every night my mind plays melodies
From a song I haven’t quite learned yet
Perhaps I never will
But she also weaves thank you letters
Thank you’s for all the people in my life
The ones who left me
It doesn’t matter what I name this poem
Or perhaps it won’t deserve a name
We never name the things we plan to kill you see
Since names make it that much harder to watch it die
I used to go to the bar on Sundays
Because I knew you wouldn’t be there
Because I knew it would be safe
Safe from the sight of that smile
Loving you was everything I thought it would be
And so much more than I could have imagined
Loving you was canceling plans to spend time with you
I’m not angry at you
Ya know?
I might have been angry
Or sad
Or frustrated
Or some combination of that
Mixed with the feeling
of being utterly destroyed
But I was never angry at you
I can’t help but feel
That I will never stop writing
About this feeling
That I will never stop feeling
This in love
And this unloved
At the same time
It’s an emotion
Broken
That’s what they call it
As if it were a bone
Or a toy to be played with
Disposable
As if my heart weren’t a muscle
But I don’t feel broken
I feel whole
Fully and completely lost
I spent my whole life looking two steps ahead
in hopes that I might meet you sooner
Mr. Alright
The one to make me feel alright
As if you were just beyond the next horizon
Waiting around every turn
I began to write this poem
Telling myself it would be the last
The last one I wrote to you
The last one I wrote because of you
Your final one
But I lied
I realize now
It took me too long to realize,
too late in my life to learn
why my heart is so fickle,
why my heart is so rash,
so melancholy
or boisterous,
so timid yet unapologetically loud.
I will never understand what makes me a second class human being
What makes my heart so breakable, so fragile in nature
I will never understand why the hammers choose me
Choose to destroy everything I have left
You know, I wrote a poem about Tuesday’s once upon a time
It wasn’t a happy poem
It wasn’t a sad poem either
If anything it was a disgruntled poem
A poem about how Tuesday’s are the worst day of the week
At what point will I stop loving you?
Will it be like sun setting after a long day?
Will the sun rise again for that matter?
Or maybe it will be like a match burning out.
De ninguna manera, ya no puedo lastimarme
Porque ahora tengo un corazón resistente
Tengo el dulce silencio de la noche
Y estoy lejos, muy lejos del susto
Losing someone you love is the hardest thing that anyone can go through,
It's so strange to think about them being gone when they were always there for you.
Some people will never understand the love that we have for our pets,
Eyes like sparkling diamond seas
Reflecting the light from my stars
Shining beams of admiration
Or curiosity
Shine on my cheeks in the dimly lit auditorium of this moment
Feel the warmth of my love
You mean a lot to me.Sometimes it scares me and makes we want to retract and hide behind the walls that I already tore down but I see my reflection in the nearby waters and all I see are child-like skeletons.
Fallen angel! Why are you scared?Why you dwelt alone in shadow? Why you tighten your fists?why threaten the whole life?i know, afraid to .love,let tenderness pour from your eyes
And at the end, what?what happens to the living when they die?what happens to the tears when the eyes close?Where do the stars go when we don't dream?where the pain of memory goes?
To dream with the black man in one eye
and the white in the other,
After you I spent years looking for love.
For someone to fix what had been broken
But I was wrong.
If you look for love when you are broken,
All you will find is broken love.
A body with hands like maps
Allow me to trace your highway veins
Intertwine your fingers in mine
And learn my roads, my cliffs
My body yearns to know your story
"AS LONG I'M NOT WITHOUT YOU"
Breathe: breathe sweet love from your heart it's all I wanna smelt.
It feels like heaven even if is hell as long you're with me all I see is paradise haven.
the stars of heaven begin to tear,
there is no heart left to keep.
its hard to wish away the nightmare,
when youre not asleep.
Something makes me crazy
It can be loving
Or it can be deadly
Trauma, it’s inside me
I feel it pounding
Trying to subdue me
But I understand what’s wrong
Lies
with beautiful words, we glow
like water makes a plant grow.
with a little mistake,
we're forever scarred,
like that flower in your backyard,
exhausted, worn out, dull.
when we can no longer take

MY LOVE IS FAITHFUL
Unaware and
suddenly
Like a
butterfly
she
fertilize my
pollen.
I mourn my ignorance
I grieve it almost as much as
the news
of the parasite in your breast:
The life bringing death
just opposite your heart.
The heart I listen for
as I lay down to sleep--
If I had the strength to make it through another day,
Maybe I would.
But today I'm too weak to even cry.
Trust me, I've tried.
If I had the hope that life might improve,
Maybe I'd pray.
Searching for a way to see.
Reaching out for some kind of mercy.
Kneeling before God, I plead,
Please awaken me from this dream.
Searching for something about which to dream.
As your birthday approaches,
The tears get harder to hold back,
As I look back on my motives,
Remembering when my heart was in tact.
That day that I broke your heart,
I also destroyed mine,
I've never been a man to stand tall...
I've never been the man to call...
The voices; I'll kill them all...
Waiting for the sky to fall...
There was something about that day,
How does one fill a void inside?
Who is there in which I can confide?
I'd like to say I need to swallow my pride,
But there's none left, so now I'll just hide.
The stage
Where smoothly stuttering movements
Are their own brand of finesse,
Is the stage upon which I wish to waltz
For the rest of my
Audaciously authentic,
Dazzling days.
Don’t let a heavy heart from loving tomorrow
We must stand up and love for ourself
Put everything aside
Hug ourself
The little me is crying inside of me
I am ignoring because I despise me
Take a key, it opens my heartThere's not many left
Many have been takenMany have been tossed
I’ve given them away too freely
Many to people who barelydeserved the right to enter
I fell in love with a goddess
So I know the feel
I've kissed a human, I know the difference
Kissing her isn't real
I tried to hide but my eyes betray me, each time.
I've sealed my lips but my heart jumps out, each time.
I'm sure my face says it all,
how do I hide that, each time?
When you told me that you didn’t love me. I was not surprised. I did not stop to question how you couldn’t love someone as empty as myself. I was disappointed, I will admit it, but isn’t this always how it goes?
“Take me,” She said. So I took her away. I went inside, but not like they went inside. See, I didn’t make her
suffer when I felt her flesh. They took away my innocence while I confirmed hers. You call me “girl” and call me “crazy”
I’m hoping after sunrise
you’ll come back and say you’ve realized
that the tethered string around your heart is unraveling
I know it’s late and early too
but 3am is when I think of you
and oh I feel a lot about the way I fell and fell for you
it seems as if the world around me
The hand which has touched my heart
Should have been my healer
Gone are the days, years, minutes and seconds
When your name was synonymous with mine
The whole universe seems thirsty
His thoughts stole my heart
If you never find love
If you have sad days
And you ever feel lonely
If your heart gets broken
And you can’t see the light
If your mind starts to wander
And you think you’re not enough
Your heart is a muscle, it contracts and relaxes again and again until the day that it doesn’t. Until the day you will no longer need it. But it is still a muscle
Inspiration is found in many places.Even me,Just one person,Can see it in multiple ways,In multiple places.
You make me smile in a time I forgot I knew how.
A twinkle in my eyes and a sweat on my brow
To stifle a laugh under breath made of steel
You taught me to laugh, to smile, and to feel
You broke me , with no remorse
Broken pieces , lonely people , sharing the same empty place - with a scenery so memorable it’s painted a home in my heart.
I wrote a letter to my heart,
Saying it should never love again.
That it's foolish nature is unacceptable.
I tore up the letter;
Before it was sent.
Everytime I see your smile
I can feel your eyes carving lies in my flesh
Chiseling away at my bones
As if your heart is etching lyrics on my eyes,
hieroglyphics in my temple,
No one else may hold my gaze as you do.
My heart is always longing for your love.
It comes to my body, you haven't a clue;
Where Rivers Sing
And Nature smiles
Where Forests sprawl
Over Silver Miles
Where Bridges rise
To meet the Land
And Trees stand by
Just holding hands
Heart never wants the right things
But the thought of wanting little never arises
Adding new face to same loneliness
Doesn’t really help to heal the old bruises
Two hearts united
Two souls present
Relationships come and go like seasons
And our hearts and souls used to unite like they were breathing
Our goodbye
A sad view
We never knew
Three years of blue
You held my heart too close to yours
What's left of me?
Can I love?
Free
Your heart
For me today,
Tomorrow, any other day,
Whenever suits you best!
I'll be here--in every day life
Waiting
Patiently alone
I wish I could rewind
I wish a lot of things that I could had done
For starts being aware of the other person desires
You can easily miss a warning sign to be precautious
Is that my heart in your pocket or are you just happy to hurt me?
What’s a masterpiece like you doing with a disaster like me?
Hey, you see my friend over there? He wants to know if you think I’m stable?
I am rolling hills of Kevlar skin
I am night before the days begin
I am terra cotta heart
I am stories yet to start
I am bones of solid gold
I am young, but I am old
I am war yet to be won
You know how frost spreads on a window? A collage of crystals forming in unique shapes and sizes. Stretching out at a steady speed til it encompasses the whole window in ice. Or how a fire burns a sheet of paper.
You brought my smile back when no one else could My heart yearns for u whenever we are apart I think of you every second of everyday When i wake the first thing i do, is imagine you close to me I feel the sparks when we kiss You are the light i h
Does this mean nothing to you?
Is this broken phrase not pleasing?
Is love too strong a word in circumstances of the heart.
If it only takes two to tango, then why do you need another dance partner? Are my steps not on time? Are we not following the same rhythm? Do I not move when you move? Or perhaps it’s you who can’t keep up with the beat.
I wish I could tell you
I have something to say
But when I finally try to
You walk far away
The somethings a secret
That only I know
I tried hard to keep it
But it’s starting to show
Oh it's such a delicate thing When I feel strongIt's defiantIt's excitedI am elatedIt is worthwhile Oh what a delicate thing When I am nervousIt jittersLike an ugly little critterIt leaps It soarsOut of my chest it goes Oh such a delicate thing Wh
Got me singin' on lost love and revelry
I can feel you pullin' on my heart strings
Your touch got me in reverie
Call me lover boy
Call me just to feel
The older you get the more callous you become
Yet magic started for me at 23,
Balloons and bubbles were a thing at 30
At 60, my heart became wide open ratting me out for every feeling;
little tattle tale.
Kneeling to God my knee hurt,
praying with caution and aiming higher,
So many lovers but love is lost.
The days were unnumbered, nobody cared,
Once a child I had nothing to fear,
The years that passed were something I had beared,
The Heart You Broke
Just imagine if you were carrying the heart that you broke
Looking through red watery eyes, coughing on lies
How would you get over me?
The sun comes down through the dark clouds
The lights go out on a melancoly hill
The dark comes when the light is out of bounds
The light decays in my hands like a disolving pill
Light doesn't last a day or two
In a distant, an echo slumbers. silence reigns. heart bestill.Thunder claps, with a mighty roar. the heaven's weep.
Eleven ounces lighter, I stepped on the gas pedal, Eleven ounces lighter I had to push a little harder. Breathe.Leaving home was too easy. The goodbyes were only temporary. But, what made it difficult was leaving her.
Eleven ounces lighter, I stepped on the gas pedal, Eleven ounces lighter, I had to push a little harder. Breathe.Leaving home was too easy. The goodbyes were only temporary. But, what made it difficult was leaving her.
My heart flowed to your hand
As easy and as seamlessly
As the quilts my grandma used to make.
As a best friend then brother, now potential life partner
These feelings… These intense, powerful feelings.
As infants grow to become teenagers into adults…
A typical crush grew to become infatuation into love.
A liquid asset currently in my safe.
In bullet form it can kill a werewolf.
He who has the desired personality type women want.
The color one’s hair turns with age/stress.
Our true love began with dedication
Our mutual feelings we do impart
Your love leaves me with a bright sensation
To you I grant this gift: my loving heart
Compassion spreads its wings like a white swan
War boils within;
Battlefield of my heart, scorched skeletons
Of memories rancid.
The tree of delight drips bare.
To You I exposed my heart,
Sublime seeds of offense,
When we make decisions we lead with logic or emotion
So the final outcome won’t make us feel like we’re drowning in the ocean
The head makes sense and thinks of the long run
Time, it takes time,
It takes time to grow,
it takes time to find,
it takes time to learn,
it takes time to forgive,
it takes time to let go,
All I could see,was a fine silverit was so quick,but my heart was even faster,for this silverit could not outrunme in this raceBut, sadly I couldnot replace me for youas my regret
Fear.
The mess of tangled thoughts, mangled anxieties, strangled shouts
That invades your brain
On quiet nights.
Fear.
I'm not ashamed to admit
I am an overly romantic
Because if I feel, I know
I exist,I live, I'm alive!
I do not go unnoticed
Two waves in the sea Two branches of the tree Two wings of the bee These are you and me In everywhere I go I keep your love to gr
Quite is kept about you because words cannot explain...my love.. my heart.. my savior... My all... One love
Quite is kept about you because words cannot explain...my love.. my heart.. my savior... My all... One love
Unmoved by tears
Untouched by reason
Without heart nor mind
But welcoming of the vilest
For they bring gifts of gold
Triumphant is Trump.
Tears of joy in a rain of hearts.
Clouds spread across the wall with flames engulfed by a passive wave.
In this day I found my pain,
My freedom,
And my closure.
I’d laugh
Care
Understand
Feel empathetic
Love
But all of this and more I’d still have if you hadn’t ripped my heart out and kept it for yourself
You were there when I needed you the most…
When I was breaking under pressure,
Like a sapling overburdened with snow.
I always thought of myself as a mighty oak,
Materialstic things portray valuables and possessions
I went from rags to riches
And learned life's lessons
Get rich or die trying, some said
But that's not factual to me
Got money but want to be dead
I wrote a poem about you
I called it 'I wrote a poem about you
My heart spoke to my mind
My pen wrote words that were hard to find
Nevertheless I wrote you a poem
To tell you that I don't know who you are
I carry it with me
Wherever I go
Beats now and then
Always too slow
I hope it beats once again
I’ll give it back to you, and we’ll be just friends
So here is your heart
Keep it safe my dear
Nights in despair
I cried.....I weeped
Hiding in the shell I've created for myself
Unable to listen to what they say
I've locked my heart away
Pushing and shoving
No one understands what they did
It's something terrible to feel
But something that is real.
Deep inside the heart
Where it is painted to be art
Love is created
By two who were fated.
I plumped down sinking back first into the middle of the cushion.
Resting my arms behind my head.
Thoughts of spending the rest of my life here crossed my mind.
Now drifting off in thought.
Oceans so deep, they did float in your eyes,
My tongue so deep, it did dig your face indeed,
Scent, so strong, never forgot you, not quite,
Fight for our love,
Not a slight, you let it ash,
A woman did weep!
I'll throw away why's for now, there are to many. I am here and speak still, against all will I have. My head scarred I don't know how. A lone life is what I face, you see because the stars I gazed upon glare down upon me.
Im finding whats best in me Is; written, spoken, felt through you. Ideas not spoke yet rough and true. The light eye'd. Or life i'd. What few words I have left will be made up for i'm sure. Mr.
Dancing on the floor
Singing cheerful songs
The world rotates for each movement that is made
Stained in vibrant hue are the lights that illuminate the room
I'm more than willing to put in that work because I believe you're worth it. Open your heart and let me enter. Let's see if we can birth it. By it, i mean something much bigger than us both.
Lord
A prayer for the man I love
He's so messed up
Yes
A prayer because I'm at a loss
He's cheated enough
Say
A prayer for me from your heart
In satan's snare he's caught
And me
Am I Okay

Winter in the heart
Blue as the sea
Off the windy coast of Maine
A little mermaid in waiting
The peace I will feel when,
my eyes are unable to blink,
when my legs are unable to swing.
the peace I will feel when,
my hair stops growing,
mouth stops smiling.
The peace, when my heart
Allow me to express my deepest gratitude
In words deep from in my soul
You are always there when I wake up
And the first one to answer when I call
You taught me how to open my heart
Why does the moon absent? She must be tired of faces She decided to be absent To get what she is worth To know how she evaluates As she tired of looking down She tired of seeing the earth She tired of looking to the face Who hate himself and his
It's a wordit's a passionit's a life.
It's carefulit's creative and alive.
It's beautifuland silentbut it speaks.
it's a world whereanyone can be.
I loved a boy,
who loved himself.
With my arms right around his body,
i felt cold.
He kept me at a distance, I complied. Lovestruck.
I only wished for love in return,
I'm tired of the lies AND misconception
Long to be held, seeking attention
Covering up my discontentment
I've ran out of makeup and forgotten how
Nostalgic melodies cause me to rise,
from the safe white, billowing sheets,
and the shared warmth of surrounding arms.
Aimlessly, I sway unsteady, on the forgetful memory foam,
legs wobbling, arms bending,
I was in love with you before even knowing your existence.In your eyes I saw the meaning of love when you first looked at me. And I was wondering how? And why Me?
Heart teeming with love,
liver soaking in booze;
rough around the edges,
tender to the core:
the dichotomy of you.
Poetry reaches the depths of the soul, climbing into the parts that yearn to be whole
Tugging on our heart strings, just trying to teach us things
I let the words speak to me, Poetry has taught me how to be free!
When everything around me is dark and meaningless
Yet on the inside I feel a burning brightness
My emotions so strong
So incendiary
That they light my heart on fire
Mother Poetry,
Lend me your ears,
So I can tell you my darkest fears.
Help me grow as tall as a tree.
Mother Poetry,
Lend me your helping hands,
So I can be the one who understands.
Hi
I see your confusion and
Your delusions
Your tears, falling, falling
Without reason
I see your smile, overwhelming your face
Don't hide, find me, let's embrace
You write the words
Having a broken heart makes it so hard to breathe
I begged you to stay, but I ended up having to watch you leave
Best friends? Best friends till the end?
I guess with time my broken heart will mend
I left my heart somewhere near you
And I guess you haven’t sent him back yet
Or maybe you just haven’t noticed him there
Lying beside you
I laid him by you years ago
Some noblest of feelings,
Some noblest of thoughts.
And all such noble things,
Came togeather to draft a Billet Doux.
The message of love,
So sweet and simple-
I’m in love,
In love with you.
A poem in my pocket,
I carry it around throughout April,
Hoping my friends would try it before they knock it.
It was dark and slightly grotesque
Angels flight in early morn, Care for those hurt and forlorn.
Three in all depart that day, to travel over a surging bay.
Heaven from earth, not one could tell, as Satan’s hand rose from fitful hell.
Her heart was made of music,
But she kept it quiet.
She muffled away every sound of it
Despite how for silence she was unfit.
Every day she sat beside him,
A quiet soul her own age.
“I’m alone and I don’t even care anymore.”
Is what I have convinced myself.
When can I stop pretending?
“They lied to me!”
She screams to herself.
They promised!
That they would be there for her.
You left me so quickly.
Am I useless? Do you not need me?
The hole in my heart is growing,
I'm turning hollow.
Come back! I need you!
Please!
She gave him everything she had.
Her body, soul, and heart,
She thought they would be together forever.
Her eyes folded into her face,
I am lifeless.
A heart without a beat.
A body without a soul.
A face without a smile.
Ripped of my innocence and left with the empty shell of who I used to be.
“It’s okay.”
I can still feel it.
The way your lips touched mine.
Without meaning.
Without feelings.
I missed them.
Bleeding onto pages
its heart has been pirced
An aversion to the spill
They say the felt feels
too loud to see
The crimson color
Makeing meanings unclear
Only blue or black
What are the feelings that I hold for you?
A strange new vulnerability in my outtake for life.
Holding me to the weaskest point in my breath.
Breaking the links to the chain than I grasp.
His chest was a battlefield. Logic v.s Fear. His chest tightened with every step that he let mark Walk from. His body a rickashay of bullets. Rattled by Marks earthquake steps. Silence is more defining than Erwin Screams.
Driving up the mountain just to see the sunrise
I saw something that really caught my eye
I saw the trees that stand proudly in the summer
And I couldn´t help but say they reminded me of her
Sticky sweet jolly rancher kisses
I realize that I´m going to miss this
We say our goodbyes and I pull away
But something really urged me to stay
Every rib in my chest breathes in for a smile
Why do I struggle to remain with my brain unstifled?
Emotions running wild; how long can I stay intact, I don't even feel human.
My heart's going black.
I want to know why the sky is blueAnd why Death must come so soonWithout warning, life is dueBut not ever knowing why the sky is blue. I want to know where the willows lie--Why their hearts can never dieAnd Mother Earth will always denyWe're sea
Hand in hand,
heart by heart,
Bodies intertwined.
You were the wind beneath my wings,
but now you've left me to fall, bones broken
and alone I will stay until my
grave has been dug
Do you remember that Embrace?
Do you remember what was the case?
I remember what you said after staying up all night,
After seeing you again I have to remember you meant,
I keep my heart locked up in a box
Guarded by a dextrous black fox
But with a glance from you the fox was slain
My heart thrown into a hurricane
Round and round it tumbled and swept
When sunlight becomes the dark,
I pray that you are the path
That illuminates my heart.
When sunlight becomes the night,
You are the shield I run to
Behind your glorious sight.
I am not a virgin, but I am still pure.
I am not a warrior, still, I'm fighting a war.
Ink against white paper, stained and beautiful.
I am an outsider but my heart is still full.
Lord, give me pain.
Let me feel every tear that wells up in my eyes,
Every moment my heart is shredded to pieces, Lord.
Give me pain and give me torment,
Let my soul wrench for the poor and for the needy,
Come away with me
let's run into the night.
Chase the moon
tell her our wildest dreams
N' bask in the moonlight.
Watch the stars twinkle
and shine so bright.
it is strange.
we are strange.
how can we be so completed by each other but then
suddenly feel nothing.
we turned into strangers.
i wonder
and wonder
where did our love go?
Where are you right now?
Am I dancing through your mind?
I'm thinking of a night, our bodies last entwined.
A passion on fire, blazing out of control.
Flames so hot, brand you deep within my soul.
Little do you know
How I'm breaking while you fall asleep
Little do you know
I'm still haunted by the memories
Little do you know
My heart-- you are my compass.
You guide me.
But if you keep pointing me in so many different directions
How am I supposed to find my destination?
I C.
I see how your heart is a diamond-
it is not neat, rather rough-
but all the world’s light is found inside it.
I C.
Dear Heart,
You are quite a strange and odd little thing,
Beating steadily here within my chest.
But you have shown you can stutter, cry, sing,
And, o'erall, make me feel my worst or best.
To my First,
I remember the day that I witnessed your impressionable smile and sparkling eyes.
I remember the tiny flutter of my heart, that feeling that you were going to mean something to me.
I hide my body,
And decorated my soul,
I don't put doormats or door signs,
That says "welcome" anymore,
I got rid of all the dodders,
And sowed seeds of dreams in my chest,
Dear Heart, You are my rythym,The sole reason my eyes flutter open every morning,The source of my existence,My body's only coping mechanism,And my brain's greatest rival. Although you are blind,
Dear Jessica,
What does a man feel like?
Is he soft like trampled moss?
Or scratchy like peeled back bark?
Does his smile warm your heart?
Dear Jessica,
What does a man feel like?
Is he soft like trampled moss?
Or scratchy like peeled back bark?
Does his smile warm your heart?
Fall to the ground,
my falling leaves
and branches that home you.
You were once pretty things
floating above the earth
in your vibrant green.
Yet devils and demons have had their way
I now know with all my heart that my life belongs to you
And with you it will stay when I say "I do"
Because so long as you are willing to spend time with me
My heart will only beat for you as I know you see
A fully blooming heart, you’ll see,
Is what I call fidelity.
The vine of love that’s ever near
Connects the hearts if they’re sincere.
My dear raging wildfire love,
It really just takes a small spark to start the fire,
But when it takes control,
It takes over, engulfing everything,
Take my hand
Out of here we can run
Open doors and chances
Let go and walk away
And steal what's not yours
You said, you said that we'd last
but now the flag flies half-mast
You said, you said this was true, so real
so how is it you cease to feel
You said, you said, don't give up
yet whose eyes look away so abrupt
I need closure.
Set some things straight.
I was insecure and vulnerable, and no, I don't want to go on a date.
Why do you taunt me?
Stupid, silly, fate.
You know how in college being rejected is emotionally easier than being waitlisted. Being waitlisted toys with your heart— you were good, but just not good enough. Wait and see if you finally make the final cut.
Everyone wants liberation from something.
Seconds, minutes, hours go by
Of which everyone is counting.
It'll be just a moment before you can
Finally fly,
But after all, you're just a man.
She felt the pressure
Of a world being taken from her
Everything she knew
Was disappearing
Dear MW
Never thought I'd be the type to fall
The type to fall hard.
Falling hard for one I barely even knew.
Although,
A quick facetime call
Or
A short text from you
Te quiero mucho.
Mucho.
¿Por qué no lo vez?
Eres mi mundo.
Tienes mi corazón.
Te quiero en mis brazos.
Te amo.
To my dearest little Heart,
How could you do this to me?
It seems you have forgotten the part
You play in this hierarchy
Let me remind you of your place:
I call the shots around here, not you.
The ammount of love that I offer is uncomparable to anything you might think.Because, the truth is, that I give my heart to many.And everytime, I surprise myself by finding,There is always more to give.
The truth is, I can read everything you've gone through on your skinThe lovely poetry that resides within you spillsIt spills in the form of scars, strechmarks, bruisesIt is overbearing, and it is all of you
To my heart,
My heart,
My heart
Why must you be so fickle!
You love Them now
No, now another
And next another still!
I'd have thought I'd gotten over You
I want you to know that I love you
That I always have and that I can’t help it
I want you to know that I accept if you can’t love me back
And that I’ll still love you
She has a heart for you.
Her heart is as deep and wide as the ocean, though her mind is greater.
Her mind is an infinite expanse like the universe and that’s what you fell in love with.
Lonesome, sat the retched monsterDay in - day outFew stopped to see himOnly to poke, prod, and teaseVisitors began to extinguishHe stared, longingly, at his containment cell
One day
When I rise above my yearns.
The pains that I've seen incoming
Will be like yet another take on life.
To my first love,
The exquisite pain in feeling your love, it was the very thing that kept me alive
Whether it was when we were friends, lovers, you were always by my side

Dear Journal,
A dark ink flows through the tattered page
Humans dancing, laughing, singing on the monochrome stage.
No matter how hard I try
Did you finally find /your heart— /so vivid and crisp /when last we saw it? /Is it a red wine now, /found at room temperature /in your creaking cellar /where you store the things /you’re afraid to face at night?

in the beginning
the little conductor
raises his baton
he keeps in time
the running symphony
inside the cave
from the depths within
my heart beats
a solemn hymn
Dear friend:
As a person who wants success in such a small town
Filled with gloom, praying I prosper and don’t reach my doom.
The constant eradication of a soul
A soul broken into pieces of a whole
Leads to a stone heart
That can no longer feel pain
Its frustrates me.
It pisses me off.
The way she can say
She wants boyfriend
When I was a great one
But no she dumped me
Cuz she was gonna cheat on me.
Like what the fuck

dear heart,
as i am writing this;
a proclamation of my emotion,
a diary of my feelings,
a jumble of words i have strung together in a depserate attempt to show you
me.
I wish not to be forgotten
Or my seemingly numb heart
Because of the things I’ve said
But did not meant
And my dry voice
I know what you want,
It's not her, move on
I know the soulship you seek,
This is not it, search elsewhere
I know the relationship you pray for,
This is nothing like it, push on
I know your goals,
A cold heart's proved more useful
Progression without emotion
Focus on evolution
A pure heart is always abused
Painfully taught through trial and error.
it takes time to truly teach,
I love how I see the world.
I love how I love the things I do.
I love how I love my family and friends.
I love how I am able to look into the mirror and be okay.
I love how before I couldn't love.
There are things even a photograph cannot capture.
The moments preceding.
The moments after.
Both the backstory and destination left to be told with a snippet of time.
In this portrait,
The lonely heart is somewhat naive
But because I love you, it grows like the dawn
Warm, subtle, and so radiant it's entrancing
Because I love you, it means unrestrained mirth
Because I love you
Time stands still when you're around
Because I love you
I finally feel safe
Because I love you
I know we're meant to be
A heart of diamond can't break
A stream won't flow from a stone.
Even if the earth were to shake,
The mountain stands on its own.
Is a glare made of diamond?
A heart of steel won't relent
A heart of steel won't break
This way I'll be safe
In this steel fortress
I live peacefully
Warmth is a
Because I love you
I won't hurt you,
And because you love me
You'll do the same.
Love is a two way street
It is something that is earned
not bought.
Something that is gained,
There was a room, and in that room were three things. One was a lightbulb that was off so no one could see what was going on. Two was a chair that sat alone in the corner with no one there to watch.

Glance up
meet your eyes
a sea of blue I wish
to dive into
Open your mouth
speaking to me
your voice is a song
I wish to hear
Your laugh-
not graceful
the sarcasm in your blood
cuts cold through my heart
so screw you
the look in your eyes
slices my intentions in half
so screw you
your constant questions for me
Sweaty palms, winded breaths, I jolt awake,
And unexpectedly you were there, without a moment to forsake.
My eyelids were heavy as you sung smooth and lowly,
I drove six hours just to surprise you
Being spontaneous is something I never really do
I opened your door and once you saw me you squealed with joy
A great love,
An “I’ll wait” love
Never let you go because I love you
I close my eyes at night to think of you
No butterflies inside because I’m at home with you
my heart has been raised in the dark
the light was a foreign feel
it was too late to stop the start
to my broken heart it was surreal
when he looked into my soul
it was like an electric shock
To love another by: Tae-Shi Savage
To love another is to make them apart of your soul,
to have them feel complete,
to have them feel whole.
To love another is to make their heart bloom,
I want to rip my heart out
And only keep my brain.
The heart is where the tears come from,
The brain does not cause pain.
My heart is only stupid
When I fall in love.
Next time I'd rather use my mind
Your sweet smile brings light to the dark
Like the florescent moon in the night sky,
Your laugh brings joy to my ears
Love is a rush of emotions
like the current of oceans
it is the color pink and red
where one’s feelings are said
Love lets one fly
in the sky up high
where freedom is everywhere
Because I love you
Take
My
Heart
Because Love is
patient, kind, and humble
Please
Don't
Start
Because Love doesn't
Because I love you I will be patient, I will be kind
I will look not with the eyes but with the mind
When Shakespeare speaks I will not hold it against you
That you do not love him with the velocity that I do
it scares me
how much control you have over me
if I give you my heart
will you tear it apart?
I find it kind of frightening
how you struck me like lightning
scars on my heart
We had a connection
A connection that would not be cut down
Not even for the life of me.
A week went by and you questioned why it was you
I just thought you were pretty cute
After a long road and crossing the burning sands,
I had a sit down with fate,..
I cried that it wasnt in the plan,
the decision was final,
there was no escape,
an opponent I have avoided and always feared,
Love is fighting
Love is arguments and tears
Love is uncertainty
Love is doubting and fears
Love is disagreement
Love is pain
Your smile, the painkillers in my IV, paradise flowing through my veins ,too sedated to stand. My lovely nurse I give you my all and everything I will be, before you put me under, your beautiful face has to be the last thing I see.
Love is just a word
until meaning and feelings are brought along with it
It’s just a feeling
that describes the joy that fills you body
However love has a story
You brought me a gift just because you thought of me
I looked inside and what do I see
The dress i adored the other day
I was at a loss for words
There’s always a key.
A key to one’s mind
A key to one’s heart.
A key to one’s soul.
Locked away for same keepings,
But thieves still slither this earth.
Skilled thieves pick locks
My heart was hungry, a mouth to feed
It thumped in my chest,
the sound like a thousand pounding feet flooding the streets of the Big Apple
You appeared, close but out of reach,
Sometimes following your heart means losing your mind.
Sometimes, your mind is more important than your heart.
Sometimes, you don't want to lose either.
If you only knew how special you were to me,
you wouldn't treat me like you do.
But you treat me like trash because you don't know
how much I really love you.
Love is not chocolates and heart-shaped candy ,Nor be it candlelight and eloquent dinners,In the crowded, glowing midnight city,Nor be it dressed in soft furs,
This is me, who you see
The mask I wear, the burden I bear
The deceit that hides behind my lies
The pain that shows within my eyes
The tears that swell within my heart
I don't want us to be apart
When I think of you with another girl
My mind seems to go in a whirl
For I find it so hard to see
That your with her and not with me
I start wanting to cry
Tears start appearing in my eyes
-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.
Dear 17 year old girl with a 5 year old heart staring back at me in the mirror:
You are growing up so fast.
Yesterday, you swung rung from rung on the monkey bars.
You painted portraits with your words at show and tell.
Giving, giving, giving, giving, giving, no take
I thought that just for once, my heart would catch a break
Break as in rest, but instead the shit shattered
Hear my song, delicate to your ears,Flowing like a gentle brook,Soothing your wildest fears...,Making you turn your head to look,
I have roots for a mane, So unruly, not the best lion-tamer could tame,
The shadows on my face the only things visible,My eyes, mouth, and nose invisible,
Every time I meet my knight in shining armor
He gets on his horse and leaves.
Am I not deserving of my Prince Charming?
Because as soon as I begin to feel like a queen
Holy God, Sovereign, Faithful, Righteous and True
I pray everyday that I may be reduced
Death to the flesh, alive in You
This is hard to do
I wanted to thank people
But was unable to explain
What it means to have a friend
To share life's joys and life's pains
It's good to know our friendship
Is one of endless devoting
Let me live. Let me breathe.
Let me my claws unsheathe.
Free me from vines. Free me from tracks.
So much is different,Happiness is such an expensive rent,
You expect me to be calm,To apply over these wounds a healing balm?
Dark Hearts,
Clouded Dreams,
Undying Memories
The wrath of blood
slowly flowing down,
my cold dead skin.
This accident is gone,
no tears are shed
The world still turns
I drove through the city today.The one you always tell me about.The old bricks seemed to scream your name.And my heart, it burned hotter than the forges of the factory fires.I wish I could tell you about it.
My heart took deep seat.Relaxing in the comfort of plush cushion.Neck twisted, head tucked comfortably in the nook of the chair.A glass of water sitting on the edge of the coffee table next to the remote control.
smoldering duration of piercing eyes lurking
searching & seeking in the midnight blood
portals filled with vast darkened madness
Torn
Beginnings.
The first page. The first wave.
For later, it describes the first date.
Emotions bonded within the first chapter.
Feels like a happily ever after.
Captured.
By lust and compassion.
Grasping for air, for I can barely breathe.
You hardly notice that you're suffocating me.
As my heart races, faster and faster,
I can feel my blood rushing through my body.
My heart took deep seat.
Relaxing in the comfort of plush cushion.
Neck twisted, head tucked comfortably in the nook of the chair.
A glass of water sitting on the edge of the coffee table next to the remote control.
My heart it aches for unrequited lust
To bear the pain of full romance I lack
Capacity to join my soul I must
Admit my conscience has begun to crack
Your absence is not my best remedy.
It doesn't help me, it doesn't make it unbelievable.
The aching assures me of your existence,
but memories are fading as if we never happened, as if we never existed.
They say your heart is inside of you
It's the driving force of everything you do
I'm not talking about the one that beats
And pumps blood throughout your body
It's not a muscle
Not in the physical sense
If I fell, would I feel it?
The impact that would shake my bones?
Or would my body remain numb,
unaware of the cold?
Would my heart still beat,
thumping against its cage?
His beauty is unspeakable and incomparable;
not because his words are able to inflict pain upon me,
but because his heart will forever beat in sync with mine.
I've been hurt before
another scratch won't hurt me anymore
I may have lost a battle, it left me agognizing on the floor,
I am bleeding, and crying, and weak, but I know I haven't lost a war.
no one will ever love me
that’s why I hopelessly stare into the sea
I tell you I don’t care, I telly ou I’m fine
It’s all via text, in reality I’m on my third bottle of wine
And my head won’t stop spinning
In war, hope for smoke
Should iron kill her king
Leaving land forgotten
And possibly
You
His knotted cloth above the sea
Blowing bizarre
Burning blood white
For it to not come across
I dream of you perhaps
Falling in love with the broken
Patterns of lines and words
That I deem "poetry"
For if you love what I can form
I could use it to show you
The irregular patterns
They say that Home is where the heart is.
That may be well and good,
But truth be told,
As I grow old,
I think they misunderstood.
My heart resides with family, with lovers, and with friends.
loving one
who loves another
can break you in half
as you wither
I wither away
when he smiles at her
everyday
I am in love with his eyes
brown and warm
he may speak lies
I thought I knew how I feltThought i had dealt with these old feelingsNow they got me reeling
I thought I knew who to loveWhere my heart would lead meNow they make me doubt who to be
Veins pumping blood
While my heart keeps the beat
Put on my shoes
Pick up my feet
Place each one upon the street
Pick them up
Put them down
Then repeat
Soon I'm walking
You only know you're alive
Because you're breathing
And cause the hand upon your chest
Can feel your heart beating
You only know you're living
Because you can feel the pain
I was not the only flame beating
I had another which gave me warmth
We grew from each other yet became distant
I grew faint and dim, I couldn't keep living like this
The other vanished frommy life and I felt cold
Passing seasons never falter
Ink inscribed skin ever after
Heart ache a burning volcano
I hear a bird's song of sorrow
How can I rise from this abyss
When all I want is to remiss
The torturous emotions
Sometimes we hear things people say,
Jumping to conclusions without any way
For either of us to clarify or explain,
We just assume what we heard was meant to cause pain.
Ascending
Ascending
Ascending
Ascending
Rising up from pain and sorrow
Rising above the raging fire
Brain constructs phrases and sentences
Sends the information to the gaping hole
It’s detailed and thorough
Black hole receives it and ruins it effectively
A thing that not many can endure
The pressure
You treasue
Once knocked at my door
Small and brittle
My heart ripped in four
What love was for certain
I wasn't quite sure
Sometimes I find myself focusing on fabrications
That are designed by the nations
Of what defies the normal creation
A handsome face, drawn on facade invasions
Love at frist sight is a deviation
Good friends are the ones that give you Russian dolls that
Come apart
Because they know that's how you're feeling
That you need a visual
Of the inside of your own heart
Emotional healing and heartache, / Her Mother coddle her as if she was / Seven years old, / Red plump cheeks, / Streams of water spilled down / Hitting the tongue in a form of / A salty back-slap of / Betrayal for not being able to / Hold
I am,
A worshipper,
Of the heart, bound to find
Strange ways to fill the loneliness,
In it.

"You are just like me." The Darkness said to the man.
The man glared then he did something that couldn't be done by a weaker man.
He said "I will never be like you, if it's the last thing i do."
like bird afraid of heights
Or night losing moon
and
stars
In her eyes
Your heart was always
mine ..
-Jordan Jessie
What is it like to watch me cry?
What is it like to wipe away the tears from my eyes?
Do they match in color?
I can tell you what it is like
To watch you cry
Every heave of your chest
It never stopped hurting,
Every moment of every day,
the pain engulfed her;
It was hard for her to believe,
The one person who she loved,
Gone, never to return;
Her eyes searched for him,
I am sorry,
But you cannot look through these lens again
My friend,
I have seen it fall to the bitter ground
The darkest tar,
The sound still echoes within the carved halls of my heart.
We were friends right?
Were we?
No, we weren’t
Why don’t I have an excuse for this query, at least to please maself……?
You said he is my zephyr but how can it just tear me off?
A pounding initiates inside the layers of my flesh.
It moves like the feeling of the bass that accompanies that lyrical-catastrophe.
My feelers tap on wood.
My headlights become unfocused.
Constellations between you and I wrap around my mind
I see stars in your eyes
I see your hands around my thighs
I see wanders
New beginnings.
I see a world where it’s just you and I,
My days sim a little dimmer than they use to be
The cold, dark clouds seek refuge in my heart
I ask why I even bother to get up
Because out of the darkness, there is in fact a light
That tunnel runs from me
My heart flutters and drops in the same second. As my imagination runs wild in this madness I call "my mind", to contain my uncontrollable laughter and aggression is a challenge that is tamed daily.
Love deeper than the blue of deep
My love is deep, deeper than the blue of deep
My love is envied by all of mankind,
I can hear but you never tell me- how you feel that’s why I’m drowning- in these ashes of flames that we caused, caused to burst since we showed each other our flaws.Though we try we just fill with hatred- for the agony of the other in the other’s
Do you know what love is?
do you want to know what love is?
We are human, we all have that burning desire to love or be loved.
but the question is, do you love yourself and your heart enough to give it to some stranger
Unveil
yourself tonight,
O diva of my heart,
sing to me the rine and rune of
your love.
#cinquain #poetry
The moon
herself will hide
shamed in your light. How then
could this mortal hide, his madness
for you!
They might not be present for our entire lives,
but we will always be there for theirs.
Apart of our family and always in our hearts,
The wagging tails and innocent eyes wait for our return from home,
“Venting Session”
Let’s talk, No WAIT!
I meant
Let me vent
Pour me a shot
my stone, my stone
oh my cold stone heart
why are you callaous and set apart?
my black, my black
oh my shriveled black heart?
why when I need you, do you depart?
my hard, my hard
He holds onto me
Even when I loosen my hold on Him
He holds onto me
Even when I feel I'm letting go
My hand's sweaty with fear
Worn with temptations
Disjointed with pride
Outpourings of my soul
Pathways to my mind
Overflows of my heart
Portraits of the “real me” inside
Desire and dream dancing oh so freely
Fear and pain relenting as they lose secrecy
I gave that unconditional love... AGAPE. You see LOVE has always been my best subject. No matter how hard I wanted to fail I'd always pass. But every pass didn't end with tears of joy and happiness.
In the same way the moon lights up the sky when the sun is busy or how the grass sways when the wind breaks, ugliness, not beauty, creates poetry.
I don't want my heart to rain
Even though it sinks in my brain
I thought nothing was wrong in my vein,
Until I started feeling the pain.
I wished to be in the right lane
But I found myself in the wrong main
It is just me and you,
In this mini colloseum,
Watching these amateur singers perform
Crowded though it is,
Smokers though we all are,
In the fading light of a day gone by,
i am a warrior of love.
i administer hope and hurt in equal quantities
and i receive them tenfold.
with double-headed arrow i charge into the open night,
We all possess a keyed heart. <br> It is porcelain; without a cloak. <br>Scratched, lacerated, and marred.<br> It knows not of the impact, <br> but only sinks into the misery <br> bestowed upon it.
The more dirt you throw on top of a forgotten beauty,
The more difficult it becomes to find.
Because then it gradually changes,
Disguised by the rotting filth that scuffs out it's light,
The sphynx taught me, from its prideful legs,
I came into daylight on four legs
I walk through the evening on two legs
I will fall into the night on three legs
Vietnam my home away from home.
The place where parents were born
From the loud motorcycle's horn,
To the vast street vendors across the town,
To the dreams I discover in the fields of rice,
For all my favorite Roses Born into tragedy; she is celebrated, adored, nurtured, envied, blessed - she is beaten, sacrificed, scrutinized, enslaved, damned -
Me,
Craving the flesh
Of sunset lavender
Tasting
Bruises from
Drunken collisions

Saying too much is regretful.Saying too little is poignant. But what is it when you feelyou've done both at the same time?There are words left on my tongue,shards of sentences I'll never utter
I do not know this so called "emotion", but I'm desperate to find my life devotion.
I get this feeling in my chest and it feels so real. But when I'm around you, that feeling grows stronger. What is this?
Does anyone else feel like they are useless? Did anyone else think they could be better?
Does anyone else hate themsleves more than their enemies could hate you? Did anyone else think they were loved this whole time?
America I used to feel your heart beat.
I don’t feel it anymore.
Has it been taken by the demons that now rule you?
Where has your heart gone?
Was it taken by the corrupt politicians?
Poetry.
The word is never seen the same to two diffrent people.
One could see it as ink on paper,
Others see it as a synonym for heaven,
A word to describe their safe haven
Blood emptying into the right atrium through two massive veins,
Tricuspid valve failing to work properly,
Blood leaking back into the right atrium,
I am from fond memories made with him
from his smile that never leaves his face
I am from his tears
that form every night
for they cloud his eyes
from the thought of me
I write from my heart
The feelings of my soul
Poetry is an art
With no specific goal
One of my favorite times is that transition of the sky between being black and when the sun comes starts to come up and make everything a pale shade of blue
The quiet of itCars, freeway, trains in the morning
My heart longs to come into contact with another heart that loves as strong. And my heart needs to come into contact with a heart that is not taken over by hate and weeds.
Once my heart was full of petty things,
Like dolls with tufts of hair and wedding rings,
Today my heart is empty and hollow,
For the rest of my life, filled with sorrow,
People do not understand why
I never thought there'd come the day
When I'd say what I need to say
Normally I wouldn't do it this way
But I need you to be understanding me right
From the African jungles,
to the ancient African temples;
Why do we praise Shakespeare?
We see as the water ripples,
our people once shook speares.
Remember, Africa created art.
Empty pages that stare back,
So pure and clean,
Untainted with words,
And the markings of my imagination.
Was that not how I was before?
Ignorant, and in bliss
Not caring for the world.
After having my heart completely cut in half
My life was woe
I didn't know
What my purpose in life
Was anymore
I couldn't see what there
Was to look forward to
I was a robot just walking
Take this moment
and lock it
in this heart-shaped locket.
It's anatomical,
because she's logical,
less philosophical
than me. I'm this heart,
she's all head. She said,
"We balance on edge
Love
Is fuel;
Like food, like
Water, it’s everything that
Makes humanity human, because of
Dazzled in wealth with milk and honey flowing, I look to my face
Silk from head to toe no corn in my row but my emotions have no place
at the mountain top, success on the clock with no sense of direction
Charcoal grey, with loving, midnight eyes
Her voice understood by only me
Her heart connected to mine by an invisible string
Alone, cold, stranded, and deserted
on an island of my own,
somehow with you close
I know I am not alone.
Not with me in flesh,
but I can feel it all through my bones
I am in your hold.
Spirit will ……never vanish.
The darkest hour…upon the isle's stage.
No, I simply cannot let it be so for me ever.
On a desolate isle, I refuse to back down.
Standing before the Lord of Flies.
This was never an easy walk.Just look at the scars of my heart, and they will talk.They'll show you my countless faults.My countless falls.
Haikus
Inside, there is war.
The heart and mind, They quarrel.
Like kindred beings.
Fell between the cracks.
Shortcomings, All too common.
How can one Live without something they've gone all this time with
From a child to an adult I never noticed the time shift
Growing up with skateboard friends but they were fad
From my mothers' mouth to my unborn ears, it has always been with me.
I have a song in my heart, and it is always with me.
When the music stops playing, it is always with me.
She was always a mess
Scabs on her face
Dried blood under her fingernails
Her heart throbbed until
It crumbled
And pieces of it cluttered the floor
Like words in my mind that I wanted to say to her
"Because a wall is better than a gate."
Someone told me,build a gate around your heartand let whosoever inwho has the key to the lock.
Were I traped with no escape,
And the odds were stacked against,
My solice would come within.
A heart of gold can hold
All the warmth you need.
And the heart inside my loved ones
You’re focused on the music
I’m focused on my happiness
The two could co-exist
But for some reason you’re not having it
And I keep coming back again
What I need is some security
I know finding someone worth keeping is a rarity
Believe me this ain't no chairty
Cause all I need to survive is a little love
But waiting for someone, is something I'm sick of
My confidence swells as I realize,
I am better than ever to those amber, brown eyes.
They widen as I draw near,
Everything but inferior,
In her presence I feel
He wanted her to heal his heart
She wanted to give him her heart
He has felt pain and so has she
She does not fear it, for it is how she can see
See into his soul and deeply understand
All I need is my heartbeat.
Every day it pounds to the beat of the drums.
I feel alive, even when the world around me is crumbling.
Even when it seems to shatter after every loss, it stays determined to keep moving.
Adrenaline while still,
All the things I feel;
Travels to my soul,
In despair,
Motivates my goal,
Rising of my hair,
My heart they stole;
Ohh earbuds,
Your streaming in my blood.
ba bum
ba bum
ba bum
heart and soul
the piano sold
the devil bought mine too
if i were
to lose it all
too much rhapsody in blue
kryptonite
silent night
I find myself reaching to find my pulse
searching for the steady sign
that I am still alive
Fingers pressed down on wrists
digging through the flesh and bones that knit me together
Part you heart and bleed for me,
let me know this pain will pass.
If not envelop me with your love,
for if you don't I doubt I shall last.
My heart if failing slowly now,
I need some parts of yours.
I can't live without chocolate.
Chocolate is like the soul to my heart.
It makes me happy, like the chimpanzees.
The way it melts like butter as the flavor explodes into your mouth.
She is the puppeteer and my heart the puppet,
Manipulating every string with expertise,
Plucking away at each string ‘til it gives way to her commands.
A heart can be corrupted,
Suffocating under the malicious hand of darkness,
Its armor chipped away piece by piece
By the thoughts that torment our souls,
You wanna know what's in my heart,
Take a closer look cause it's been there from the start.
It stares you in the face each and everyday
It's not hidden, cause I express it in such a way.
My love,
You are the sun to my moon,
And the fork to my spoon.
Without you, I would have none to turn to.
I could never live away from you.
My love,
I could never live one day without you.
Why do we love "love"...when love seems to hate us.. love seems to create us, and then our love seems to evade us.
If anything, we feel like Love is trying to play us.
give up everything and put our life in a haitus...
Match the beat
With your heart
Let in the rhythm
And never part
Just let yourself
Be swallowed whole
Make the music
Part of your soul
Now I've had a thought,
that every person has a story to tell.
So humor me for a moment,
and write yours down as well.
I'll pay it back full price you see,
and tell you mine in return,
You want an answer
here is mine
much like my heart
it beats line for line.
my answer
it weathers the storm
"When the darkness rules
And the moon falls apart
The world is made of fools
And it's tearing at my heart
What I've learned is not from school
And I no longer care to start
The ocean expanse is full
Emerald amber mixes in between
the eyes that I stare into, and pray I am unseen.
Glass fogs and the words appear
to be smudged into my quaking fears.
Nose curved like a bell
I think about you sometimes,
Your laughter, your smile
The fun times we had together before the fall
Maybe we could have worked out
Your fire was too hot for my ice
All I need are the lives of my brethren,
given up for the ideals of the free.
Pressing forward with my dreams I've been buildin'
Seeing all these faces looking up at me.
Millin' in my mind,
all the time,
"Small dreams fade fast
But that's okay
'Cause it was never meant
To go that way
Even those who smile
Got one foot in the grave
But you couldn't see
That the happiness was fake
But still
"A battle within a battle
A heart within a heart
I'd be lost without you
I don't know where to start
But as I look away
My anger turns to shame
To yell would not be right
Nestled behind bones
that can be broken by
sticks and stones,
A rhythm
made of flapping wings
and plucking strings,
of raindrops
hitting the pavement
and of quiet patience;
I lie here in your sordid cave, littered with cold light and the stench of blood, dividing my heart.
I can still feel where it once throbbed, my now bloodied chest, yawning for its return.
locked out
swallowed the key
swore I would never let love find me.
threw it all away
closed my eyes
accepted real love was only lies.
became alone
My heart is disguised
this time only one person will lie
but we will never know who until we awaken
To say I think of him often
is a lie.
zyo say thoughts of him run through my head
over and over and over
is misleading.
The truth is,
he never really leaves
my mind.
I kept it locked up tight for years
Hidden from the world
Fed it every night with my tears
Then to the first bidder it was sold
He played me like a fiddle
My heart dropped in price
I want to live in a song
Where every rhythmic beat is a stairway to my soul
And every low key reverses time and I rise again
Living inside the enchanted heart
Where music smells as of the breeze of an ocean's shore
Let me steal you away with a couple words.
Bring your heart up high, higher than the birds.
Take away your breath, for its mine to keep.
Pull you in my arms, til you fall asleep.
I sit up at night with you on my mind...
Minutes, hours, I lose track of time.
Your beautiful face, your flawless skin
I pray to be with you before my 'amen'
Your smile can light a bright spark in this heart,
Should've known from the beginning
you'd end up hurting me
turning my remaning heart cold
I no longer believe anything from you
What changed you?
The guilt was too much for you?
Milk chocolate bars forgotten inside cars
On a sizzling summer day.
A mahogany table on those days when they are able
To sit around it to pray.
Sprinkled chips of moles on your skin as you grow old
Is it good to stay strong if the one you're strong against is inside you?
It is not good that the man should be alone; and so was made for him a help meet,
the woman that should hold his hand through life
I have butterflies in my chest
I thought I could put them to rest
stop their flittering, fluttering panic.
a day ago
a week ago
a month ago
a year ago
forever ago
These chains are wrapped around my heart
My heart waits for the key of love to set it free
This key is something special for you and me
You will set my heart free
I can set your love free
Dismember me
Pull me apart piece by piece
Torture me
Hear my screams
Break me
Then put me back together
I
once liked
butterflies, because
you did. I was enchanted,
because I knew I couldn't hold
you. One day you would fly away
and say "Hold me like you love me".
I did. Fuck, at least I tried.
I love you more than the wolf loves the moon
And than the greedy love the money
I love you more than the musician love their music
And the plants love the water
I love you more than the sky loves the stars
I
drip
drop
and
call
you
but
you
don't
hear
me.
You
are
too
far
in
the
depths
of
your
own
Losing him feels like
a thousand days' rain.
A weathered heart
pumping rusty blood
through iron veins.
When he's gone
a patinated pulse
is all I have left.
I can feel his presence
The heart is a lock; Love is the key. Once you open it, you don't want it to close. Hurt and pain are chains that will keep it closed. When it's closed, it's hard for it to open up. My insecurity is trust and it's hard to gain, so don't lose it.
I can't seem to contain these feelings
Bottled up inside me
Every time my heart sees you it sings
Of what I want us to be
Crushes seem so complicated
why is it so difficult
it just gets me frustrated
“Have I got, a crush on you”, said he
The message passed, a swift
From her pair of ears to her brain
Her heart was beating up in at the highest
Her mind was remembering it on and on
She, falling in love before
and he, to depart without
a bye so good
darkened Her heart from red
to gray and further to black
it was as if death
Pretty long and separated are the two to be
With a distance of being so, so very far & long
Though to be of the some hometowns
But never a decrease was to be seen in their love
Needles can stab and make holes,
Rocks can be thrown and make bruises,
As words can be said and make damages,
A heart can be tossed and break into tiny little pieces
I am a jester and a fool
Trickster here to scare your ghouls
Living only for laughter’s mercy
I am a soft mouthed labrador
You linger in the form of bruises..Marking a roadmap on my body of all your favorite places. A constant reminder of the fire I wish I could deny but always give into. Sentencing me to a death made for insects: as I become the moth drawn to your fl
Its been awhile since I’ve written anything.
You see, usually I begin with a metaphorical gesture,
Or a fragment too dramatic to be anything but the start of a stanza.
But today I write from my heart.
Love is a strange thing. It is unique, rare and almost impossible to find.
Yet, once felt, it can overwhelm every part of your body, tingling the veins.
Every step taken, brings you towards something new
A fresh plain an even higher plateau
Do not take anything to heart
For its fragile yet constantly resilient
He stole through my window
In the depths of the night
He spoke soft words, empty and meaningless
I thought I heard chimes tinkling in the wind
She always seeks the broken hearts,And she tries her best to fix them;Drifting around from here to there,
I used to think I was brave.
That I could be anything I aimed for.
But then life hit me,
kicked me,
shit on me
rolled me in dirt
and spit on me.
I wish I could be brave again,
Feelings of yester year haunt me.
Emotions tucked so far in
the folds of my heart they are
almost invisible.
Yet I cannot keep them from encompassing
me.
I feel a longing.
Strong and familiar
Last night we laid in our bed and giggled about absolutely nothing. Whispering in our dimly lit room, my head pressed against you, I heard the rhythmic thumping and slow gentle rise and fall of your heart beneath your chest.
Now that the darkness is gone
You're coming back to me
You kept me in prison
But now you're setting me free
I Am....
I am the girl in the back of the room,
not because I don't like attention,
but because I attract too much.
I Am...
I am the girl who knows
who she is,
Eyes made of ice,
And a heart made of stone.
Everybody hates her,
She knows she's alone.
All she wishes for,
Is a single friend who cares.
One who comforts her,
Around us is only warmth.
Inside me is only one sound.
We can see colors contrast,Breaking through our windows.Winter has turned to spring,Summer yet to come.
You chased away my fear
Drowned me with passion
Held on to me
Unexpectedly stole my heart
I was sealed with fate
From the first day we met
With your sweet kiss
From a shower of love
You're my friend and lover
My love for you won't fade
I just wanted you to know
You will always be in my heart
You turned into my love
As our love grows
With our needs and desires
Looking back I always find you
With no dreams left behind
In my thoughts you are buried
You I find..............................
With love and kindness you're filled
Your heart fashioned within
As I close my eyes
Thoughts pop in my head
No pain or hurt
Just you by my side
Memories of you and I
Of the past and now
How happy we are
Loving to share
So, your eyes are brighter than the moon
And your smile causes my hands to shake.
So, you're a vast ocean,
A special treasure,
Hidden in a tidal wave of
So- you're beautiful,
and your skin shines like
Alas; woe to my eyes--
Let them not see.
The object of my affection
Cares not of me.
Once there was a heart
that fell in love with a brain
Together they made art
but the brain would sometimes strain
Him. A Poem
The first time I saw
Him, I was thirteen,
The classroom bold, and
My thoughts clouded with
Thoughts of him.
I feel like a mime, doing eye-catching sign language to someone that is legally blind, but hopelessly I'll continue to look,
Grandfather I wonder why you passed so quickly
I miss you ever day but you died from being sickly
Sometimes I wonder what heaven is like
Are you with angels taking a high flight?
In a dark room,
There are trembling lips,
Her eyes are crystal,
Her lips still perfectly molded.
The smile won't seem to leave.
No matter where she sits,
No matter how much she crumbles,
I am
The one you don't mess with
When she's walking down the street
Soldia flowin' through my veins
How may I destroy you all?
That your image be cast away
They commentate my rise and remember your fall
Celebrate my life and scorn your dying day
All of the former,make way for the latter
*This poem is the first of a pair. It's partner is called "Potentially Perfect Poison.
Balance my heart with a stoneYou will see that I'm sinkingI can barely breathe above the wavesBalance my mind with a cloudYou will see that I am soaringDancing with the wind
Last summer I drank my heart away and my insides became soggy. Sitting against alcohol my
I think I might have just been
born of a disease.
A disease where slowly my
flesh peels away
at the slightest remarks.
Where my eyes become to full
and my heart become to weak
Look at this mess that I have truly made
I thought of you and then my heart decayed
For if I see that you can truly be
All mine you'll have a happy heart to keep.
take my hand and set me free,
from this dream of you and me.
Promise me one simple thing,
but where to start, where to begin?
maybe a hello,
or maybe goodbye
maybe some simple question,
Sitting all by myself, it seems to be only me,
striving to attempt, what I can't truly be.
Heartache and pain, I don't know what for,
it just seems, that you shut the door.
How could you forget last time?
Remember the pain?
The manipulation?
You were pulled in every way.
(But look at that smile!)
Yes, very nice,
but the last time you saw a smile like that
Give me the courage to speak,
The confidence to act,
The wisdom to understand,
The hope that can lift my heart of stone and ice.
Thaw it.
I encouraged myself,
I mounted on a voyage to the far reaches of space
a spaceship fueled by the sadness of my heart
a pioneer of the cold, the void, and the emptiness
Strip me of my mocha colored skin
and my velvet coursed curly hair,
and tell me darling...what do you see?
The moment I mention his name,
Like the silence of the dreams they haven't yet killed,
The room becomes quiet and still.
Their words like whips
"CRACKS!" start to fill the room
Slicing gashes on my heart.
So you ask me who I am,As if I really know,As if I could be just one person,Part of the status quo,One person is not really one,Especially at this age,There are so many of us now,
When I feel like I am just playing the part,
I turn and listen to the rhythym of my heart.
Each beat lets me know I am still alive,
Every day I have a reason to strive.
Life has a terrible beauty,
Colorless is how people should appear to a police officer’s view
Offender’s skin shouldn't make a difference in the end its true
Colorless is how people should appear to a police officer’s view
Offender’s skin shouldn't make a difference in the end its true
Maybe at times i did things that hurt, but i tried so hard that you will always see
That having you was a blessing for you and me.
When my stitches dissolved, I resolved a plan
A list, if you will
Of qualifications for the perfect man
Or, if you will
The perfect woman.
When I fall in love I want to be EMO
Tingling sensations oing through my ear
and your distinctive lips draws me near.
Vibrations going through me bed.
Is this love or lust instead?
Wake up early in the morning and i'll be here
He loved her, giving her his heart with trust
doing so knowing, so fragile, it could shatter to dust
much trust was a mistake indeed
as soon, she threw it down to break and bleed
she left him for a "better heart"
After the door shuts and the footsteps die,
I surf the darkness before my eyes.
The vast emptiness goes on and forever I see,
Nothing more then that of the darkness,
Cascading before me.
Perhaps the saddest creature of all,
Itsn't even a creature,
But instead, a simple line.
Parallel lines are perfect for each other.
Oh, what a beautiful pair, the two.
You want my heart? You can have it.But good luck finding it all,For I have already given Little pieces away...
To an old lady who didn't always remember my name
On the day I said yes to you
Was the day one heart came from two
The day I lost my pain, my shame, and sorrow too
Was the day Love was something I finally knew
My soul sang longer
My heart grew stronger
I linger
I stare
I play with your hair that shines in the sherbet sky
my eyes burn yellow and orange
I've forgotten you've scorned
any notion of touching you
Every moment i perch myself upon that plastic seat,
i wait.
Every time the sting of feelings prick my eyes,
i wait.
Every sound that occurs to my ears,
i wait.
That feelining of...the cool waters, light blue wave, a tall glass filled with water, the clarity of the water, the warmth of the water, jumping into the water, the coolness on your body, the burning on your body,the water moving around you, the
I haven't ever told anyone this
But I'm scared to look,
In the mirror anymore.
I'm scared to raise my eyes to see the reflective world,
Because the one I see,
Just isn't me, her eyes are black-colorless
People view me as four eyes,
But when I take those glasses off
it’s something about those chestnut brown eyes that sucks you in.
You began to take notice of this young woman’s other captivating features.
Yeah, I quit, so what?
Our team was terrible, it sucked
You could tell from the first games
That weren’t on the same page
I was hitting the ball, getting triples
I am creative and laidback
I wonder about the bundle of variations called the multiverse
I hear the cackles of the last Shifkin before it engulfs its prey in one glup
Dear my Love, the walls have fallen,
The stones and mortar have given way.
Authorities have not yet told
If it were attack, or mere decay.
The resting village still lies in peace,
One may have told you that you have one conscious.
Today will be the day that I break the news to you - You have two.
You have the mind.
You have the heart.
One has been taught its beliefs.
In darkeness, there is light.
In the rain, there is sun shine.
So even while I'm unable to grasp the pai, my mind is at ease.
For even through death is life.
Feeling like a princess,
Undistinguished by the makeup
I’m the same though,
Same smile,
Same naïve personality
You are there,
Looking like a young Johnny Depp
With a tux
If I Lose Myself...
Gabriel Reyes
I am no ideal person
But I am exemplary.
If I lose Myself...
I have lost everything.
I am the future
I am a leader
I can contribute to changing the world
It starts with me, with you and I together
I have memorized all the break up songs
Cried a thousand times
Remembered your beautiful eyes and face
But…
The memory of what’s behind it
Breaks me up every time
I want to say I love you
I have a confession.
There is a someone,
A special someone,
A someone who warms my smile,
O' how cruel mine own heart be!
It cares not if my head forbids
It to love so as to not be twain in half again.
I remember watching him sleep,
his eyes fleeting back and forth under their lids.
I remember him drawing long breaths,
and his heartbeat wavering in his chest.
Integrity
I don’t have the gift of flying.
It would be a lot more fun though.
Instead I possess the art of dying.
The ability to stand and take honesty’s blow
Is a bittersweet trait I’ve come to know.
Home is where the heart is
But if the heart is not at home
Does it curl up in a ball
Or does it find a place to roam
Home is where the heart is
But in this house it is not warm
After 23 years, the eyes seen so much,
trying to keep up in life, but its always in a rush.
High School flew by, Undergrad did too,
struggling to get by, while my bank account gave me the blues.
When I finally find something I like
When I finally find something I can do
It is pulled away from me
And I fall
People say I don't try enough
But what I find is that it finds me
How was it so easy to change on me
We use to be so deeply in love
That when you were sad,
I cried
When I was hot ,
You Sweated
When i thought,
You reacted
If you had an enemy
I lay my head on your shoulder, Cuddle with you while the day is over. I lay my hand on your chest, viewing you as a form of protection, my vest. Clearing my mind of the rest, in that moment, I realize...Im yours and your mine.
Every answer is a lie,
Every night it all unfolds.
Only when I'd rather die
Is when the truth is told.
Every answer is one I hide,
It scares me more than you know
Because when I search,
Me and You
I was your love and you were my babe
Sounds cliche and cheesy but why not hun
Just a couple of kids who secretely liked the other for years
But this was not known until recent
My heart is a saxophone
Full of passion
Full of love
Full of strength
Once you slide the ligature
Around the mouthpiece and reed
The tightening, so trivial
It will be a while till I am fine
Until this jumbled mess in my cold chest
That used to pump in its warm nest
Is recognizable enough… to be called mine
I once held a heart in my little palmhopeless, broken, barely holding on to the thread of life
"Please don't say you love me, because I might not say it back..."
Backing out is my fear-instilled instinct.
Instinct normally would be telling someone that all of this feels so right.
my brother has broad shoulders and a straight back.
he is a pillar of stone and a slab of concrete,
the way he marches around the house.
he has hair the consistency of canvas and his laugh
This beating heart aches with each breath I take,
The pain is unbearable to my soul.
I am drowning in this fiery lake,
And this person I am is far from whole.
Each day, I steal many a glance at you,
When withing reach, yet out of grasp,
my arms yearning to hold her.
When looking back through all the past,
not quite knowing that it's over.
When present seems to flee from view,
when hearts begin to break,
We judge before we know
Accept those with media at their disposal
A profile picture isn't a window to the soul
You'll never know
I'd stay up countless hours
Talking, Talking, Talking
All I did was love you
While you snuck out and gave your love to another
But all she wanted was your money
And now look who's the sucker
After you made me sign that waiver
She doesn’t need to worry about the size of her body,The length of her hair,The color of her eyes.To know she’s perfect.
It's 12 am and I'm starting to realize that I literally want no one else but you and I only want to touch and draw on your skin and I only want your hands on me and I only want to comb my fingers through your hair and I only want your lips to e
You told me life was crazy
Never about the snakes in the grass
You told me they were evil
One bite- I would never last
Tomorrow Tomorrow
That is when you will be all mine
When our hands fold like cards
When I feel your marrow against mine
One day you were there
By my side
Hand in hand
Than one day you left
No words were spoken
you
Were
Gone
Waiting for you
Hoping someday
You'll return.
I am not going to give a sob story
I am not going to give a glory story
I do not have any horror stories to give
But if you look into my heart you will see the only story I live
You will see who I am
My heart whispers.
And I panic.
My heart will whisper and it will murmur.
I was scared,
And I couldn’t breathe,
When my heart leapt forward,
And forgot to beat,
For the first time.
My gaze falls upon your radiant face
And all I can see is your flawless grace
When I am down you would make me smile
I hope that you will stay around for a while
The glow and look in your eye.
A shock of excitement from your smile.
Spread of warmth from those delicate hands
Maybe even a stride in your walk
Are you telling yourself that you need to change?
Why, are people causing you pain?
Saying you want to be part of the"in-crowd,"
Don't, instead just scream out loud, be proud.
Do people tease about your looks?
Delicate and fragile,Broken and mended,Metaphorically red and constantly beating,Full of love and care but yet so tender,Pulsing with blood and affection so dearly,
Almost everything in daily life
You're there
We were there
We listened to this
We sang to that
We ate here
There
We kissed here
We just talked there
You liked this
I really don't need your shit
I don't want it
Don't have to take it
Don't need to hear it
I live with the memories of the past
What I've done
What I've said
Who are you to remind me
Being left all alone
After all the effort put in
The effort wasn't noticed
It was that or a step forward
Many steps back
I could say there were times when I didn't care
I won't like
please dont ask me to
write about our love
or about us at all
because i can only
write poetry
on the things that kill me
and if you want a
poem from me
You didn't tell me you
loved me
in so many words
but in the way you
looked at me
and held me
you didn't tell me
goodbye
in so many words
I shall teach my heart not to sing
like a hooded falcon, quiet and resigned to the jesses.
To let my heart soar,
I tell myself, would be a fearsome and frightening thing.
Once I spot my prey
man my minds a train wreck so explosive but nobody knows what's going on cuz I show no emotion. I don't feel the need to tell people my problems.simply because my problems are my problems.
My heart was once your home.
Lucky for the girl who have your heart now
Lucky, for she finally captured what was once mine.
Be happy, I know you already are.
I want to be happy for you
To all wounds of the heart,
Time is the antidote.
Designed like a coat
Soothing the pain as it impart
It is nonpareil
It understands what you want
As time acts more than a confidant
The veins of my heart are pulled by strings.
You are the puppeteer and my wires are now in knots.
Through fire I was born
Through fire I shall die
I never have seen another way
For the only way out
Is the way I came in
The came in into this life
The fire being my start
Is it the way you look at me when i'm mad
Or maybe is it the way I smile when I sad
You bring out the better side of me
Even though you make me mad when you test me
My pride tries to stand in the way
My two little windows look out on the world
Seeing things that it cannot explain
To to light in the attic, the windows exclaimed,
"What is it we see?"
To which the light said “Love.”
Two idiots
sneak off
after school
to cuddle.
They park
at Wawa
and crawl
in back.
Lying together,
listening to
sleepy music,
La mia fiducia che tu trovi
Già era andata quando domandasti
Svanita, perché la nascosi
"Quale c'è per nascondere?"
Non hai guadagnata delle amicizie
Fino a che tu mi abbia conosciuto bene.
Now, may I love you evermore
through space and endless time?
The thought of life without you might
keep me from another rhyme.
So will you give me the honor
of using your left hand?
I love the way you look at me,
I love the way you smile,
I love the way you laugh at me,
I love your quirky style.
I love the way you bite your lip
and play with my hair,
I have something of yours
I know it's been awhile,
but better late than never, right?
That's why I'm at your door.
Not for you,
but for me
to move on.
I cannot carry them for you anymore.
the softness of your lips,
sends shivers down my spine
one kiss,
and my heart is frozen
by such as bliss,
as this by lips
is a icy infatuation,
Crashing down,falling hardBroken dreams, broken heartI guess I'm not really sure where to startPicking up after your goneWide awake at night, listening to our old songs
If love were something that could walk and speakIt’d do such as you doIf dreams were something that could take shapeMine would live as youFor dreams do not always cause you to smile
Realization dawns like a new eraYou had your chance and you blew itNow you get to regret itAnd I assure you, you will miss thisThings are changing, time moves forward
I've heard it said- is it true?
The heart of men is wicked.
But does that just include men?
Are women wicked?
Children?
Men are deceitful.
Are women not?
Children?
Your demeanor fooled me.
Thug hood hard ass sending chills down my spine I despised you at first glance
A Women of All Odds
Please pay no attention to the women behind those books
Intelligence is over-rated; twerking is all the new rage
I wanted to tell you how I feel,
But I don't want you to run away;
For the ones who I care for and love the most
I am carbon
a diamond in the rough
still dull with jagged edges
I've been through heat
and under lots of pressure
but I still don't shine
people look and stare in my direction
Behind my “I could kill a man” exterior
I am bubbling with little joys
Happy thoughts and events like counters
At Disneyland filing in and through
On their quest to experience some joy
Fly.
What are you thinking?
Me?
If you were here, what would I say?
I've imagined it more than
I've breathed.
If you were here...
The hypothetical.
Then reality.
If you dusted my skin for fingerprints you would find a multitude of people have touched me in all of the most
I used to be different
The world was brighter
I always had a smile
Nothing could bring me down
You are so close to my heart.
You completely skipped the start.
We turned into a thing,
So unexpected, so beautiful, so strange.
You are 800 miles away,
but it'll all be okay, One Day.
People from across the globe fall in love
from house to house or thousand of miles away
Never meeting except online
what if you met that person face to face
would all those feeling come flooding back
Crisp air of autumn,
Cool breeze drags gentle fingers through hair hopelessly twined,
Firey colored leaves chatter below my feet ,
It is a field that hold my peace of mind.
A mane of white sleet,
My heart was about to be broken
But you came just in time
You saved me from falling
My heart belongs to you
in this moment, I did die.
the smile on your lips.
the soft touch of your skin.
the twinkle in your eye.
in this moment, I could die.
the sound of your breathing.
the rhythm of your heart beating.
Look Here N, You stole me
Yes for the very first time someone has stolen me in years
But please know I’m very fragile and have high self-esteem
And unlike the body I live in I don’t have any fears
Am I wrong to think about you like this?
Will I open up your skies?
You would say no and walk away pissed
But you know I know I hear your cries
We have the same heart same beat
I think that is a good question
C+N?
Will it ever work while I hurt and think about you
Knowing that the love I have for you might be true
But it doesn’t come back to me boo
I guess I’ve lost the argument
EVERYDAY LOVE
Because she lights up my life
Every day and every night,
I wish I could make her my wife
The name N goes so far
He really does he’s like Jafar
Giving him promise, my times, and even my attention
It’s like he’s got full dominance
Beautiful green eyes like emerald seas
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
It must really feel good to be you...
Because, I sit here and think of you every second of every day and it hurts,
I hope you think of meas you are flicking through old moviesas you are kissing lips thinnerfar thinner than my ownas you are hearing words that triggerpast text messages exchanged
Smiling is contagious,
You catch it like the flu.
When a person smiled at me today,
I began to smile too.
I passed around the corner,
And a man saw my grin.
When he smiled I realized,
once i love you
it can't be changed
no matter what the out come is
me and you
R one forever
loving you isn't the hardest part
lossing you is the worst part
but not being able to see you
feel you
love you
this hurts me the most
And I'm still thinking why. . . Why did god chose me for this struggle on my journey
Who am I, why does my appearance gives the right to judge me.
A sweet glow follows his every glance,
My seductive love heats the land.
While we spin around enjoyuing the dance,
My love travels the world holding my hand.
Bringing cheer to fauna and flora,
I opened up my narrow sighted mind
In hopes that it was you that I find
with my luck the sun will not shine
you continue to give me no signs
the rain pouring down it hurts my ears
Two broken souls,
Lost at sea,
Will find each other,
When it’s meant to be.
But for now,
They search and search
For a love that burns bright.
They look at the same sky,
Give me hope,
Humanity-
I'm livin' in a nightmare.
Praying for better dreams;
Jesus weeps
As he hears the
Screams of the
Saints.
The holy shouts.
You are
A deep dark soul,
But not an empty one.
Deep in that darkness is a heart,
Beating with
Love and conpassion.
Open up your heart,
Let that part
Thar wants to shine
Shine.
My weary old soul cursed by another's unfinished past was given a long and treacherous path, paved and made with broken stones and questioning tones
That's a start - in the room of my heart.
My thoughts do not contain certitude,
For there stands before me a physical facsimile
Of you.
Except lacking your attitude.
Your timorous tone,
You threw,
Late nights, early mornings
Staying up for days
How can you ever sleep?
The drugs keep me sane
Judge all you want
Finding myself with every hit
How can I not love it?
Everyday I tell myself
“If she only knew”
Every morning when I wake
I start thinking of you
Sometimes I just wish
That I could tell you
Just what I’m thinking
I dream of a place
One distant, yet close
I dream of a face
With blue eyes and a sweet nose.
I dream of friends,
Friends I met long ago.
I dream this chapter ends
And I find a new home.
Please, Please, Please
I’m dying.
I have days, maybe weeks
I’m dying
I need to go, to need to see because
I’m dying
I need to act I need to be
I’m dying
Oh, If they only knew....
It's never who they think it is
Those who would suspect
that you long for someone
you can act like you're my friend
but we both remember the end
let's stop pretending it's alright
I am that smile that no one sees upon my love's lips
When my love looks at the gem-filled sky, my love sees me
Darling, if I may speak my heart's desire
It's content wishes a burn longer and brighter by fire
Give me your heart
So I can sway this melody along
And we shall never be torn apart
Even if it is just for this song.
Open my mind to dream
And imagine these things so green
We should't be together
We shouldn't have our say
There is no us, there is no we
We've faded like your torn blue jeans
I've forgotten your face
Somewhere in time and space we
I'm that weird girl that sits in the back
The quieter you are the less attention you attract
Though I'm not the only one who would rather it dark
At times I find those with that same unique heart
For what is a heart
if it is not brave?
What is it for
if not for feeling
the courage
to invite
every stranger
into Its home
To
Do you see me
Because as the sky turns blue
And the wind stirs hot
You say nothing.
But your eyes whisper sweet loves .
The distance
Somehow so much,
With the winter winds as a guide,
I want your breath to swirl in my chest-
I need your nicotine.
Can't you hear my ribs chiming
like chapel bells
Each time your words form smoke rings
When we run, what do we have to show for it?
When we're nervous, no one will know of it
When we draw it, we obscure it
And defile and hurt it
It's ill-conceived to put
The word love, with the word hurt
My heart.
The substance that I need to able to live
It guides my decisions
Tells me right from wrong
Shows me the path to take to greatness
Shows me the right person to love
It is during waking hours that you simmer on the back burner.
Softly existing
Gently rolling
Around
On my tongue
In my mind
She died of a broken heart
falling asleep with the
sound of Love Love Love
in her ears.
She had no emotions left to give
She was done.
She was done-done-done, girl.
She was done.
From innocent birth
to a peaceful death,
the wheels of a hearse
become our last breath.
For those who believe,
and for those who dismay;
there is such a place,
to where all may stay.
I could erase that lonely feeling
Of you leaving me that day
I could take all of the pictures
Of you and me out of my photo album
And throw them all away
But no matter what I do
And then I cried
Lost in an air of vague and blind
Found at the bottom of a beer can
Only drunken minds seem to make sense
Expressioning emotion oppose to logic
The rendition of the vision
The path under the break
The voice grating in my ear
The ways I always shake
Your hands all over my body
The words you sat are praise
The actions that delower me
What heavy burdens a heart must carry
From the times of love to the times of sorrow
But all will be good and new by tomorrow
We've got the world in our open hands.
With just a tap of finger, we've accessed the Web.
This dimensional universe of knowledge
that contains the world.
Hey,
What is that sound,
that seems so old, but yet still new?
A musical note from a different hue.
A tone that sharply cuts through,
the blues inside your heart.
It was a joke
Such a cruel, sick joke
The type of joke that your best friend pulls on you
When you are sleeping
I love the taste of sugar, but your lips taste better
You glisten in the sunlight, but I will take you in any weather
Some open book you were
So open, I could see the dotted lines on the pages you scribbled on
And everyone knew how to read but me
Gold has no worth, when compared to you,
your eyes say a thousand words,
something a million essays could never do
I don't want to be your smoke break
In the middle of the night, when you decide to take me out,
The follower slides down the mountainsides,
of pale glory, traveling amongst the lines to paradise
You told me not to cry when you were gone
I tried to hold back, but life became a waterfall
and just when I thought I was going to survive,
I know you cannot promise me much right now,
because your integrity is kind of low,
but if you could tell me why you're here
The clouds have veins,
at the end of the day, when the sun kisses the edges,
and the purple spreads along the blue, dancing on the white
Family.
Such a frail fragile thing
It is a living ecosystem of aunts and uncles
Mothers and Sons, daughters and their fathers.
What becomes of this intricate unit when it is disturbed?
If you can't read the photo it goes-
Here I sit in this rut once more,
waiting, longing.
I wish I could stop but it only goes just,
beat, beat, beat.
And the raging thump continues just
I wish, how I wish, I could just dismissthat longing feeling, that search for a kissIts like I'm trapped between the heart and the mind
The fires burn in the distance nowyet he feels better, some howGasoline and matches, his keys to freedom
Day in and day out
Your name pops into my head
Memories of your touch, smell, and taste
Haunt me at night
Wishing and hoping you'd come back
That you's realize that I still love you
I felt this pain in my chest, the pain to pierce a bulletproof vest.
A girl miles away who stole the heart of mine a long time ago, I just hope she misses me when I'm gone but I don't know.
I heard you speak now I want to hear you more
I heard you laugh now I want to make you laugh more
I saw your smile now I want to make you smile more
I saw your eyes now I want to gaze at them more
You are the music of my heart,
Each beat mistaken for a murmur,
By every tone-deaf stethoscope,
But I hear the melody.
Your tuning harmonizes with mine,
Making the very scales jealous,
I move through the halls with barely a glance.
People won't talk to me, won't give me a chance.
They hardly notice if my appearance I enhance.
I am not a ghost.
I spend most of the day inside my head,
Have you ever felt like you're in the shadows waiting for your time to shine?
Have you ever felt like you're tumbling over, caught on the borderline?
Her Heart was a secret garden
And the walls were very high
Exotic Flowers decorated well-guarded gates
Inviting and enticing onlookers
Your misery to me is totally attractive.
I love the way your tears taste, or at least i would if ever sampled,
Your sadness entices me, makes me feel like I’m not alone
How I would love to love a scientist
of curious mind and dazzled eyes
which seek understanding of complexities
in order to bask in their impossible beauty
for they understand the statistical significance
He went for my forehead and I went for his lips,
He slowly pulled away and I quickly pulled him closer,
Grabbing his arm as he grabbed my waist,
Soft sweet lips touching and I think I’m enjoying it,
Who said autumn leaves fall to their death?
I think they cover the ground with their beauty,
Like colorful souls bestowing their love
On the gray roads of rock below.
Who said just because your heart is beating
Is not a vessel residing in my sternum
Nor a conglomeration of tissue pumping the red liquid of life into my veins
But rather, it is a living entity, born from the bonds of friendship
The woods were encumbering in the sunrise.
My gut wrenched with uncertainty of the buzzing feeling
atop my forehead.
A little green creature rested in the nests of my tousled hair,
My summer love, with the passion of the sun's warm rays
and by night you're a gentle breeze, giving ease to a busy day.
Pampered kisses, the urgency to feel the lay out of their skin
Drunk to begin, sober at the end
It is with a heavy heart that I am writing this to you.
I want to start off by saying I'm sorry,
I'm sorry for allowing misconceptions to seep into your mind,
Destroying your future.
It all began on a windy day,
When I held my carved heart on a plate,
And that was when she tapped her heels,
Afraid of the fact I was hollow.
I held my carved heart on a plate,
Who has the right to tell me what to do?
Who has the right to choose where my life should go and what it should be?
Who has the right to say to me that i can not be with the person I love dearly?
Cleave to what you left,
When you took away my
breath. Leave, just go and
leave me with nothing left.
So my shattered heart can
grieve.
My heart is filled to the brim,
I'll explain, and I'll try not to weep as I speak.
But please listen, and don't ridicule me.
Things occur for a reason just like the transitions in every season.
The love I have for Him has sprouted up, and will not wilt.
You can find me
where the
dust sparkles
in the window
from the sun's rays
You can find me-
there
I'll be hiding
beside the curtain
blending into the wall
Beautiful Princess
There was once a night,
That darkness came to light,
And only beauty was in sight.
A pure beauty was found,
Her looks so profound,
Yet her life turned around,
Why am I nor happy?
I have such a big porch for me alone.
I have the life that no one else owns.
I have gold that no other holds.
Why am I not happy?
I have all I want,
But something stands.
We still feel the sun’s burn after a long day.
We still smile when we see the rains come our way.
We still have the haunted eyes at the fire side.
You are many things.
But cold, grey, and metallic are not any of them.
Your hands give a shock like lightning.
But they haven’t electrocuted anyone, not yet.
When we first met, I was covered in barbed wire.
Broken down and abundant
hope contaminates the air
choking the fulfillment of the undeserved
knocked out unconscious on the side of a curve
racing through the rain lies an unsteady heartbeat
Her EYES
Blue as the ocean
Peaceful as the morning breeze
And when a secret is amidst. They close slightly in curiosity, peering through my scalp, demanding to know what’s on my mind
he takes all i have
and all he leaves behind
is my regret and sorrow that
has remained for quite some time
i fade to ashes in the wind
when his words singe away my pain
i hear your voice and i subconciously smile
and i feel your warm embrace around me as we softly giggle over the phone
"did someone just call your name?"
"no"
"oh. maybe it was my heart. maybe it needs you"
i hear your voice and i subconciously smile
and i feel your warm embrace around me as we softly giggle over the phone
"did someone just call your name?"
"no"
"oh. maybe it was my heart. maybe it needs you"
I wonder what it’s like to go through the death of a loved one. A lifelong friend, a sibling, a parent, a lover. One day here, the next gone. Maybe there were warning signs, maybe there were none.
Giving love to a hollow heart
Is like dropping a coin into a well
In hopes of making a wish
But never hearing it hit the bottom
No splash in the water
No thud against bricks
Just a feeling of dread
Cradle my heart.
Wrap it in swaddling cloth
And gently hold it close.
Sing to my soul.
Let your voice caress me
And your words heal my aches.
Give me your hand.
Lead me through the night
Depression is a widow's veil.
A black, looming object..light and wispy, blowing with every change of the wind.
It's flowery design serves to hide the pain and agony that lies beneath.
I want to rip out my heart to get rid of the pain.
Im not ready for the next lifetime.
Just take this feeling in between my breast away.
Make the time go pass.
When you're out of my mind.
Two minds, one body.
One heart for passions and ever-changing interests,
And a brain to make him like everyone else, a hard copy.
Your dear eyes reflect the beaches on which we could walk
A future that is glowing in your smile
Ladies and gentlemen gather round to see my glorious new invention!
Look at her isn't she wonderful?
See how she smiles and laughs. She seems so happy and no one could ever tell what she's really feeling.
I am living but I'm not alive
Everynight I let myslef cry
I go to sleep hoping to never wake up
I am living but I'm not alive
I've gone through things and I wish I died
I wake up but I'm still dead
Maybe
One day
I hope
I will make enough new memories
To fill up all the gaps and holes you poked into my mind
One day nothing
Will make me think of you again
I used to think I loved you
I used to think you cared
I used to think "this is it"
I used to be so scared
I used to want to be your all
I used to think you did too
A patient heart is well rewarded in time It understands the clock’s tick is a sign Each stroke a step to something so divine There are occasions we don’t fully understand A heart will break so it can learn to mend When life is truly ready, the go
I hear your sweet voice, the way you say goodnight. The sound echoes through my head and I can feel it in my heart. The buzz my phone makes, the name popped on the screen. All are components of the jump in my heart.
Your baby hand:
so strong, s small.
Your fragile head;
I won't let you fall.
Your eyes are closed,
and you're asleep;
yet you are perfect
from hair to feet.
I had my heart set for anywhere but here. Take me from the darkness of before. When I thought I was the last one standing you were there.
"Why must love feel like a heart attack"?Some may sayCausing our hearts to sputter one final beatThump, thump, shhDifferent types of love lause different types
There is much to life
When one only drifts
When one merely sifts
Through the sands of time.
Playing with sand
As though it will always be there.
I had met with an angel.
Here's what he had said:
Love me forever, and it costs but one small thing
a life, fleeting
a soul-less little thing
your soul I ask to bring.
I had met with that angel
I am holding a bladeUp to my wrist In the knife all I see is lies upon liesBut then I see youAnd your little blue eyesYou say put the kinfe down AuntieOr I will crySo I put down the kinfe
Why is it that when you lose a love your heart breaks,
if love is just a chemical addiction produced by our brains?
Why does it feel like your thoracic cavity is hollow,
I'm losing my mind it's three in the morning and my mind is starting to unwind,
I'm going on auto drive and everything is so intensified,
The ones who wear their heart on their sleeve
We are the few
the ones who are constantly stepped on
The ones no one understands because we
are
too fat or
too skinny
There's a monster.
It doesn't live under my bed,
Or make the floorboards creak at night.
It doesn't tap at the window,
Or make eerie sounds.
It doesn't cast shadows on the wall,
Or grope at my throat.
What's on my mind?
What about what's in my heart?
What makes it bleed and break,
cry out in despair,
what makes me try and want to rip out my hair.
What I think about when it gets dark,
Electricity and power and thoughts inside
Music, and wonder and time
It’s just a glimpse inside my mind
Worry and hope and tears I’ll cry
Happiness and running and learning to fly
Who am I?
Am I the person you see right in front of you?
Am I the person you hear people talking about?
Am I the person crying out for attention?
Am I the person who needs your approval on who I am?
A mind can do so much,
Think , do, and feel every touch.
We know how much good it can do,
But oh how much bad it can put us through.
Leads our hearts astray in sin,
Tells us we need things that we don't,
I questioned if you were reality,
My perfect match staring back at me.
You pulled my world from dark to light,
And encompassed me in heartfelt delight.
I've been listening to the same song over and over.
My broken heart sings along because it knows all the words.
The tempo fades out.
Encore.
You know those moments
When you just want the world to leave you alone,
When the littlest things make you break down in tears,
When there's so many things you want to say, but you don't know how to say them,
5'8
107 Pounds
23" waist
Yes I'm SKINNY
Does my outer appearance bother you?
I'm happy with my body rather you like it or not.
All you are worried about is TITS and ASS.
If I could I would
Fill the empty place in hearts
To move on in life
Give me a new heart,
one that is pure and clean.
Give me a heart that forgives and forgets,
Not one that keeps grudges on a chart.
Give me a heart that will never stop loving,
Broken hearts are like broken glass
Hearts shine at a glimpse of light but...
Are going to shatter at the slightest crack
Like Cinderella's slipper, falling to the stone
Broken, with no one to pick up the pieces
We might show each other love but my hearts too broken to fall for them tricks againLike a gambler in a casino I would always fall to my demise over some crap...
Thoughts are
Drowning me
In my head
A pool
Of lies
And conspiracies
Not stopping
Until I have sunk
But I know how to swim
Memories are
Burning me
Asleep In a Dream
Green at bay, painted blue in spray
Land rolls up and down
Brisk, chilled, mellow
Forevermore My Favorite Cousin
Endless joy, laughter and splendor
Secrets shared between us
An iron relationship
I don't want diamonds, and I don't want the world.
I just want you to hold me close and tell me I'm your girl.
Don't buy me a dozen roses or rings with big rocks.
Go to the dollar store and buy me some colored socks.
Does it matter that these tears fall for you?
That they hit the floor and the page, but not your hand?
Does it bother you that you did this to me?
When will you pull me out of this quicksand,
Stretched Bands
Grinded to sand,
Softened by oceans,
Brightened by the sunlight,
Being baked ripe.
We are all loved and we are all accepted
I saw these words with my eyes but my heart was still rejected
We are all loved and we are all accepted
My mind was fully engaged but my heart was not connected
Change Change Change, All about and all around
But it’s the wrong kind of change.
Beauty came and beauty died,
the beauty of our love inside,
our hearts crying out with pain,
please take my pain away.
Let me feel the pain,
coming down like the rain,
the faggot in the reflection of my space helmet visor is my only friend.
with shaggy shorn hair and big eyes and a hollow cheek bone that holds in my silent tongue.
i have etched lessons in my skin, leaving silver lines
You start from who you are;
Sweet, innocent, and caring. people ask and you say you're ok but no one knows how you're truly faring.
The following poem is an Elizabethan sonnet.
Since I was young I looked up to the stars.
The second to the right my eyes did meet.
And though the twinkling speck seemed very far
She awoke to hear him bid good morning
She slept to hear him say good night
But as the tide rolled in and washed him away
She faded into the darkness today
And time it screeched and cried
I can’t stop thinking about you. When I’m sober or when I’m drunk as all f*ck, you’re the only person that comes to mind. And I ask myself why?
People say mean things
they say I'm not good enough
say I'm ugly or dumb
sometimes they are right
sometimes I am dumb enough to listen to the hateful words
Isolate yourself
then ask why you're so lonely.
Tell you how I think,
now I feel like a phony.
These poisons were shared
over and over before,
between you and I,
this darkness we tore.
I'm back, but I'm falling apart
I'm back, but I'm lacking the heart,
That I need to keep movingAnd what do I think I'm proving? Starving for attentionReceiving it in the form of tension,
It's completely natural to me,
Like I've done it all my life,
It helps to take away the pain,
The way they treat me is wrong,
It helps to take it all away,
It helps relieve the stress,
My heart is not a tattoo worn
proudly on my shoulder for all to admire
My heart is not a toy plane to be tossed
Doth thy wonder,
In thy sleep,
Of a place where dreams come true,
And your heart be forever at ease?
My Love...Come like a cloud and pour love unabated,
Through your gentle caressing make me a jewel of love
Lend the pretty colors of dreams in my life
Come, make my heart your nest and present meaning to my life.
For me, my drummer beats,
Da boom, da boom.
He rarely misses a beat and keeps up with my tempo.
When I'm running--
Dadub-dadub-dadub!
Or when I meditate,
Daa boom. Daa boom.
OutsideThe entirety of my resolve runs with the river of tears thatTrickle, thenAfter a brief moment of suspenseBreak free, carvingCruel lines down my ravaged cheeks, a howling flood letLoose. My eyes are
What do I do whenOpening my mouth to voiceTo carefully shape what I think are words of beauty to Your ears,I am flung roughly asideAnd, raising my headI find myself as aggravating background noise
A night to remember, a spin and a glideas we make our way through the aisle.I was too young when you left my side.
In the mirror, I look up and stare at my reflection,
Oh, man, I saw this coming. What a recollection.
My makeup all smudged, all damp and out of line,
Huh, it matched the line I tried to draw when you were mine.
im feeling these feelings you see
that demand to be felt and their victem is me
butterflies wings slicing through me like blades
my heart beat a drum, never going to fade
im feeling these feelings you see
that demand to be felt and their victem is me
butterflies wings slicing through me like blades
my heart beat a drum, never going to fade
I'm not sure what I want to be
But I know what I want to see
I know I want to see brokenness healed
To see humanity revealed
I want the heart put back in society
To stop all the hurting
Hollow Ghost of Red Heart
Ominous with frantic rage
Yet vindictive under the Vail
Luminous as starlight nights
Breathing Just Fine
Held under water
Gazing upon him
We fight for a way out
The sea blue runs black
I thought
I was ready for heart break
when I was seven years old
and the most important man in my life
You were taken too soon my friend
And I sit here and wonder
Why your life had to end
Like the rolling of thunder
My one regret is not responding
In the month of November
From a distance much to great,
He silently seals his fate.
With a rush of the tide,
He loses the feelings he tried to hide.
His head spins,
A heart beats
Taking us across the streets
A heart breaks
Giving us terrible shakes
A heart lives
A heart gives
It beats
And lives it can cease
Homeless individuals sleep with dreams of what they used to be
Now they have moved on leaving the new generation drowning sea to sea
No education, no temptation, to get a dream fulfilled
Black and Blue
Do you ever get a clue?
Black and red
do you know how much i bled?
black and green
You were always too keen
Black and yellow
Afterwords, you were always so mellow.
I have a heart condition.
It's prompted me to no longer be bound. Abolition.
Can you tell me what's your rendition..
when the doctor says there's no cure, nor a physician?
Although it's been two years now
I am still reminded everyday and it brings me to a bow.
The new playful puppy next door,
and all I want to see is you on my floor.
Being strong through these days is hard,
Words are unspoken,
Things are not said,
But everything she feels is stuck in her head.
The sighs of a hurting, broken heart
Her feelings inside tear her apart.
Words that whisper,
It's extremely loud in here,
Though you do not hear it from there.
You may not be able to tell,
There are a lot of arguments
And the music is always up too loud.
Though the words spoken, shake,
I Fight,
I Fight For The Light.
I Fight For Those Sitting Their Room,
Crying At Night, Holding That Knife,
And Wishing They Died.
I Fight For The Ones Who Lost Hope,
Dejection,
No affection.
Depression,
No expression.
Happiness?
No. Not anymore.
No more blessedness.
No more galore.
Why do I still love.
Why do I still trust.
It is strange that I had never touched a cigarette until I had remembered how the taste would linger in my mouth after I had kissed you?
Broken bottles
lining the window seels
where pictures should be
where crosses should be
liquor soaking in the walls
yet not absorbing the blows
virbration from the seel decore
Judged by the way we look, magazines
skew the idea of true beauty. Who started this trend? And
I try to find myself, but I've been lost for forever. It's like I'm going in a circle so you'd think I'd know better. I'm somewhat lost in a trance, I can't find myself. Took 34 pills disregarding my own health.
Life is wrought a letter,
Written slow to live the read,
Longing to be tucked away,
For living long in Heart.
And yours, while still it beats,
Pumps Ink unto the Pages,
I’m trying not to lose these fading memories,Because they’re all that I have left of you,Even when the pain brings me to my kneesAnd I can’t breathe because I’ve glimpsed the hue
Fear hinders our progress towards better times
where we need not be alone,
it suffocates lights and welcomes darkness
into our mind's own home.
Fear grips the souls of men
in a way no human can,
Kiss me nowKeep me closeHug me when you need me most. Say goodbyeSay helloOnly you and I would know. My heart beats
Conversation was never our strong pointWe spoke in iPhone notes on car ridesIn a crowd we spoke in hand holding and gazesI know I said I wish we would talk moreBut I don't want a god damn conversation
Every day, it gets harder, every day it's like a nightmare, progressing on. Every day is another prayer echoing from my bones asking God to take me now.
In that moment, the warm breeze floated across my face.
The tears were trying not to come.
Your eyes gleam of realization when my words flowed out.
The stars shown as we were close.
We all deal with monsters,
Monsters in our heads,
Monsters in our bodies.
Depression, Scizophrenia,
Rymitoid, CRPS.
The monsters kill us,
Inside and out,
To the point of no return,
As I aged
It faded fast
Although I wished
It would last
One foot forward
One foot back
Now memories are
Of the past
Piano, Forte
Fast, Slow
What I did was stop
Instead of go
THE HARDEST TIME OF MY LIFE
Everybody try to understand
But I didn’t want you to
I don’t think you can comprehend
You left,
I cried,
I ate ice cream,
You went out drinking,
I went to school,
You stayed at home,
I got a degree,
You got a newborn,
I got money,
You barely made rents paid,
To touch another,
oh, how I long to feel
his skin against mine,
if only to finally know
What would anyone want with someone as broken as I?
What man could lot at me without pity?
The heart
so fragile yet so strong
endures many things.
Loss
and love.
Heartbreak
and heartache.
Yet it continues to beat
on and on.
Our trials and triblulations
it breaks never bending with love never ending
such a sweet thought for the poor human heart
it aches and crys bowing with the weight of the world
if i could change you little heart i most certainly would
The Girl with the platinum platformed heels walks with her head held high.
when it breaks it doesn't make a sound
there is no indication of its condition
it just gives in, falling prey
to the repetitive oppression
of day after day after day.
Running,
Chasing,
Hoping,
Waiting.
Hiding tears
And hiding fears.
Scared to say,
Scared to show.
In a room,
All alone,
This is the start of something new,
Where I forget about the old,
Forget about you.
Where I stop crying
Because you broke my heart.
Where I stop thinking you're my missing part.
I hardly watched my heart,
nestled warmly in my pocket.
Most days I hardly took notice.
But some I did.
I took it out,
and stared at the glass figure.
I began to toss the thing in the air.
Having a heart of stone is considered an insult,
But what about having a heart of concrete?
Cold, gray, hard, rough concrete.
But what is that concrete were covered in art?
There was a pretty angel,
once upon a time.
And this is her sad story,
of her heart of mine.
She looks in the mirror who she sees is not who she is.
Ba-bum…Ba-bum
The core
Of my inspirations
Beats
As it demands
To escape its
Cave
Yet it loves
Me
It loves the
Hollow
Box
Wrapped in
Silky, smooth
Sweaty palms when I see him,
I can't even stand up straight.
Give me a break,
I want to give him my heart to take.
Or to break.
I need to shake this is feeling.
Go ahead girl,
It burns deep inside me.
My love for you, hidden.
I would tell you, but I can't.
All hope is impossible.
Beyond the exterior roars confusion
A rhapsody of complete destruction
When a heart and head fight
There’s no fair end in sight
An unholy attraction,
That leaves me torn apart at the seams.
Each word, each glance,
Slowly shreds the delicate stitching,
Holding me together.
My heart is barred in this chamber,
Where the brain wont let her run free.
Oh how she wants to get out
The lungs laugh,
The stomache snickers
"Silly heart", they say with glee
My life was like a kaleidoscope.
My hand gripped your's as we walked through the art fair that late May day.
Together.
Just like the pieces of the kaleidoscope.
My heart burns hottest flames blue
My body sweats being in the sun
My mind's lost my heart's empty
All my emotions now disperse
For now my heart hurts
A flash of an image
And my mind suddenly works
When love gets a little easier
Maybe I'll be able to say hello and not have my eyes rain
Maybe the tulips will finally bloom properly and maybe the dandelions will finally blow in my direction and cover my face with their wishes
We all have song in our hearts.
Many are afraid to be heard.
Some people do not sing.
No, they do not sing a word.
Why would someone hold back,
I see you’re once full of life face,
Now pale and lifeless come through the door.
I am surrounded by people.
But all I see are your eyes.
I only see you in my dreams though I look for you always when I'm walking down the street and in every crowd I look out hoping to see your face (dreading actually seeing you,
The way our fingers fit together just tells me
We were meant for each other.
You are my other half, my missing piece, my lost soul.
When we are together, I feel the emotion that some call love.
And it began, again.
The battle between my mind and heart.
"He deserves better than you!"
"He will never love you!"
"You are way too fat!"
"You aren't his type!"
"He will never love you!"
Open up your troubled hand
Let me take you off to neverland
Open up those big ol' eyes
I can see right through you, all up inside
Heat blazes off me like a fire
Melt the frost right off your freezing heart
There's a quiet thunderstorm inside my head,
the thoughts strike across my brain,
neurons illuminate with light, transmitting more than what is visible by sight.
There's a quiet thunderstorm inside my head.
My ears: they are the best of friends,
and any quarrels my brain mends.
That car is coming from your left
proclaims the first, so smart and deft.
Punish me for what I have done, Or punish me for what I have not.We were one,And she strangled my love.
Wanting to cry but having no tears
Wantint to scream but pride's held to dear
This strenght is found in hard-hearted men
Who hide it inside and don't show the truth
I want you to say no, I want you to reject me.I want you to say yes, I want you to want me.
Anything but this, stuck blinded in the midst,no sense of direction,struggling to contain my affection.
I never really feared anything. But
As I sit here in my room filled with fear, I feel all the screams and anger from downstairs
They shoot up my spine and over-take my body
If only I could fall just a little bit in love with you.
I see it in your eyes, I know you wish it too.
How much simpler would life be, if only you belonged to me?
The world has proven that I misunderstood.
He is gone forever, the boy named Alex.
The seraphs come down beside me singing really taunting, " He who you call brother is with us."
Thoughts are racing through her mind
When you ask her if she's all right
All she says is, "I'm fine"
You shake your head and reply, "okay"
The silence echoes in your brain
Writing all of my feelings
Will relieve me from all these teasings
That will make me jealous in life.
I just wanted a better life,
But yet, I won't be anybody's wife
We kissed, I felt her lips connect as if we were one, and yet I wanted more. I could not resist her, her looks of pleasant torture, and warmest of the body. Long ago, her beauty vanished, and left there was nothing but hate.
I regret nothing out of all of this
I swear I would never take a thing back
And never have I taken your love for granted
In fact, it was my loyalty that had you taken aback…
Eyes meet and Hearts beat
Hands, soul, and heart reach
Dates, laughter, gifts,pictures, and love
Fireworks and sweet sweet memories
Oh, is it meant to be?
Stranger...
Friend...
If the sun burned hot enough would I still miss your eyes?
If the moon was always full would I stop wishing for clear skies?
If the grass was green enough would I be satisfied without you?
Because if you are to love me
there are some things you must know
for one i am broken
and hurt
and my view on love is blown
I have to start from scratch
and learn how to love again
There is nothing sadder--
not even the loss of a cherished item,
not even the mewing of an abandoned kitten,
I miss that girl.
I miss that girl, I really do,
It hurt to have to leave.
She has my heart, she really does,
For I gave her the key.
And now apart, it really stings,
For she is part of me.
If a heart breaks and you're not around to hear it because you're too busy trying to calm your rapid breathing and stop your mascara from smudging,
Does it make a sound?
It must, I think.
The question then becomes:
Tell me why I feel like I'm slowly slipping away from you
When we haven't even been together for long
I just feel like I'm not good enough for you
I feel like I can't be the girl you dream of me to be
But I do try
My anger pours out as I scream for some release.
I want to be gone and away from this beast.
Nothing I say is ever enough for you.
I cannot be content as long as I'm being used.
Set me free I repeatedly scream.
Despair and darkness have taken over my life
This is nothing new
I've gone through and put up with a lot of strife
What is one more day of hell when your life is a pit of fire?
You ruined me
It is the greatest passage I have ever been in my entire life.
It is like traveling to Paris, France for the first time and wishing to stay there forever.
Last year I sketched our dream home
with two balconies and a koi pond in the backyard.
It was simple pen and paper
We're here again
Two sides of the playing field
No longer able to feel your warmth
Just left to wallow in my memories
I can't say I’m surprised
Always knew it would happen
But it hurts
I stumbled upon it without knowing what it was.
I pulled it out and saw my name written on it...the hand writting... it looked so familiar yet so diffrent...I opened it and started to read.
A rose, but one, none other rose did I have,
A rose, one rose, and this was a wondrous creation,
One rose a rose that brightened earth and sky,
One rose, my rose, that sweetened my breath and air,
You never understand it
Even as you feel it
It's your saving grace
And your damnation to hell
The light in the darkness
And the darkness itself
Consuming you
Trapping you
I had yearned for so long
I had waited for too long
I died inside for too long
no love no compaasion
no warm embrace
not even a tender touch
quiet nights
desperate mornings
We've All had that kin of love,
where we fall so hard
we've all fallen for the one person who can
do no wrong
to us
we've all gotten to that point
We've all been wraped up in
the phenomena of
In the silent waves she saw herself,
Lost and confused, she cried for help.
Through the screams and moans that came tumbling out,
The distorted images that filled her with doubt.
No longer could she stand alone,
A carbon atom is small,
But it can make you trip and fall.
It has many things to do in life,
So it will do it while he flies.
Carbon forms a bond with oxygen,
And they become the eternal bossing gem.
They travel through the world,
He called her ugly.
He believes she is ugly.
He hurts her.
He is ugly.
She is beautiful.
She is strong.
She loved him.
He is ugly.
Alex Noe, I love you
You make me feel very special
But you have to know
I won when I first met you
Only been a month
It feels right to say “I love…”
I believe in us
I know we can make this work
I need times like this--to myselfTo cook up formulas with words that explode, sending minds into the unknown.Hidden messages through similes and metaphors that'll make the greatest fold
The days pass as things around me continue spiral down. You notice as all my smiles turn into frowns, as your classroom becomes a haven from a weight to heavy to hold you listen as I explain the reason for my cloths long soiled.
It hurts so much,
You kill me with every touch,
I put on a mask because I don’t want anyone to worry,
Not that anyone’s going to help me in a hurry,
It feels like I been here before I feel familar with this scene these words theses actions I feel like its on everyones minds thoughts lips tounge, its been in every corner of the world this feel to familar yet it has no shape, nor organic matte
Dancing Shadows
By Laquanna Allen
In today’s society
There is only one thing you can be
The bully or the bullied
Round and round
Believe me,
I am aware
Of every single flaw
Or imperfection
That creates my
Monstrous existence.
So who are you
To come and blame
My imperfections
For making me
I came home and found you in your usual spot, hiding from the world.
Dark despide the sun being awake.
Your eyes are open yet nobodys home, you stare straight ahead without following my movements.
Where are you going,
I can't find you,
where are you going,
I just trusted you,
Where are you going tonight.
I just wanted you,
and I just needed you,
I am waiting, I am alone,
I fear myself
well who i think i might be
i might be gay
but my heart denies me
it tells me no yours as straight as they come
and then i see her and the butterflies run
My life is like a bad fairytale.
Dragons lurk in every cave,
ogres in every shadow.
When I get to the place where the castle should be,
what do I see?
The evasive palace has escaped me.
I want to love you for forever and a day.
Til the sun comes down, and its time to lay.
Til, the wind blows and the seas roar.
I wanna be with you, but dont forget theres one more.
My blood ran cold as he looks at me,i shiver as his breeze past me, i look apon his face and i worry... why is this i wonder?
Hey Mr. Principal,
Hey Mr. Smith,
I hope you sit comfortably –
On your plush office plinth,
With all your private accolades –
That no one could care about,
To the varsity trophies –
This is the blood i bleed
There is a reason for this pain
Some people just never understand
The pain i go through is too much to withstand
This pain i go through is worse than any other
--How much pain
How many tears
How many times must I say the word LOVE
How many broken hearts must I suffer from
How many times do I have to stare at a blank response
How many lies
To think you would care
To think you would understand
but I liked believing you did
The sweet oblivion was better
than facing the cold hard truth
Turns out you never knew me
Eventually
Eventually you’ll run out of tears,
Eventually you’ll run out of fears.
Eventually you’ll run out of sadness,
Love
a 4 letter word, though it holds so much gravity
yet we throw it around like something thats only worth a penny
Hate
Words on paper
Words on paper
Paper that cuts
Paper that wrinkles
Teacher cant teach
Teacher cant teach
Why am I here...
Perspiration slowly drips onto face, the butterflies season exceeded in the interior, The brain playing drums with the heart, teeth stabs the tongue-
There's nothing i wouldnt do just to see you again
All the words i've said have no meaning
With this mess i've made i must do all the cleaning
I told you i loved you
But you left me with no clue
Let's pop some pills, Fall in loveCut our wrists and spill our bloodDrink come Gin, let's die tonightCome on Demons, help end our lifeLet us bleed, for what we see
Let's pop some pills, Fall in loveCut our wrists and spill our bloodDrink come Gin, let's die tonightCome on Demons, help end our lifeLet us bleed, for what we see
All the cliques laugh away
While I sit and watch
Wondering where my friends are
Wondering where you are
Wondering why distance keeps us apart.
The teachers will lecture
I always said it couldn't happen to me I always said my heart cant be broken I always said I would never cry I always said I don't fight for boys I always said NO FATHERS ALLOWED I always said I don't believe in love But now I say that you change
I thought you were something special,
Not like any other boy,
But I guess I thought wrong.
I thought I had finally found someone who liked me for me;
Someone who wasn't just there to admire my body,
Love is hallow as a cave
Led by its beauty, a great quest
Love is a path for the brave
It will never settle for less.
People of different ages, genders, and identities stare into their reflections;
You’re feeling insecure
Don’t know what for
You have everything
That others dream for
You are beautiful, strong, and pure
You give me some kind of feeling.
I'm excited,
Yet a little scared and apprehensive at the same time.
Will I do it right?
Will I be good enough?
The snow never falls in my Wonderland
But the ice never melts either
And when the sunshines its cold
And when the song bird sings its sad
Here, in my Wonderland
Look there in the distance
I am not a preacher
I consider myself a leader
You make me feel like my life is on the line, no meter
I hate that we are brunched up together, 30 seater
More space please teacher and more attention
Fond memories, led astray
No glimpse of hope, such disarray
Scornful judgment brings out a beast, so tame
Blinded by its fear, naught bravery remain
Tearing at the wounds that reject
Love is something I don't understand.Hell, I don't think anyone does.When you say "I love you."And they say "Don't."How do you expect me to changeThe way I feel about youIt's not much of a choice.
Kiss my lips and empty me, love me long and set me free.
I'll give you it all, even me. Or crush me quick and leave me be. Our love is strong..in harmony
Love is only temprary.
In the valley of the Shadow of Death,
There’s no place to hide, no place to rest.
The demons there, haunting your every step.
Choking you ‘till you have no breath.
The light at the end of the tunnel
When your pain is tangible
You can reach out and touch it.
It’s everywhere, consuming you.
You don’t even realize how lon_____g
it’s been eating away at your insides, until
they finally cave in and c
You clenched at my chest,
For a sweet rational moment.
Heart drop.
Bottom rock.
The bitter grin
Made my face numb like gin.
The only
Substance
That can
Be
Absorbed
Hey there, my love
Don't you know that you're my universe?
You turn my world upside down
I miss you so much it hurts.
I love you in every way
Don't ever think that it's not true
Kiss me
Hug me
Tell me you love me
Where ever you are,
Keep thinking of me.
Feel me
Touch me
Tell me you want me
Drive me crazy,
Touching me softly.
Your hair
I'm sorry that I fell in love
Sorry that I think you're perfect
Sorry that You're the one
I didn't mean to bother.
I didn't mean to push you away
Didn't mean to go insane
I just wanted you to stay
Bound to her lone tower
Her White Knight won't let her go.
Chaining her with his love
He's blind to what's inside her soul.
But in the midst of her routines
She's drawn to this Dark Knight.
Nights of terror seem to pass
And days of sorrow fade.
In every moment that I laugh
I slowly crawl out of the shade.
Bits and pieces start to form
But some parts are still gone.
Hey you…
Yeah, you.
The girl with all the scars and stories to tell.
The boy who sits alone in the corner,
The child with a black eye from “falling down the stairs”,
I’m here for you,
Now and forever.
World's Deadliest Black Man
Which is deadlier a black man with a loaded gun,
Or a black man seeking education providing for his son?
Which do we fear the notion of inner city aggression,
My heart is on the court, my heart is not here
My heart is on the court, for it is my career
Passing, setting, hitting balls all day long
My heart is one the court, where it belongs
A kiss is just a kiss
Until you find the one you love,
A hug is just a hug
Until you find the one you're always thinking of.
A dream is just a dream
Until it comes true,
Love was just a word
Im not really sure where it began
was it the first or second time you held my hand?
It was Autmn and it was cold
I was only 15 years old.
I thought I loved you and maybe i did
The way it all happened
I know me,
I drain and I kill.
I take hearts,
I have no fill.
I know me,
Hold the hair back,
Scars fleshly gleaming,
Inside turned black.
I know me,
If I could teach the world one thing today,
It would be to love in the simplest way.
Right now love seems to be put on hold
So that we can follow what we're told.
Growing up we're told to use our minds
A dream.
Something I came up with.
It came from my imagination.
A fantasy.
Can it be real?
Something I can touch.
It came from the earth.
A reality.
A lie.
on the interent you see smiles becasue im hiding behind the tears that hit my fucking
face like bullets. Bang Bang the guns are going off i dont even think its possible
It doesn't matter if I try
all these feelings must slowly die.
I don't care to tell my friends,
but this will come to an end.
I won't let them into my mind,
all the secrets they would find.
The Hardness of her heart
the coldness of her hand, i wonder why she ignores me so much.
The sparkle in her eye is only when she crys, confort seems to not be enough.
The adolescent flair once abandoned
Now is the critically acclaimed charm
In the Fantasty Castle
Occupied via a more deserving owner.
So why did I attempt to perform ethically
Listening to them speak, acting as if I care.
I have a new technique, this blank expression I wear.
I show no hint of emotions, or feelings deep inside.
I just go through the motions, and push my thoughts aside.
I’d like to imagineI can still feel the sting
of the day she let go;clipped my wings with a word and said, Fly.
I’d like to imagineI can wax lyrical and triumphant
one more night;
Any Miny Mo
Another guy picked hoe.
Leaving her standing alone,
Giving up.
He sits in a corner.
Because his feelings,
He is a hoarder.
Left to give up.
My feet smell
And neglect appears to be my only friend.
People hang out and talk with me
We share only words
Though nothing articulate.
Why can't anything ever work out right?
These are just words on a page.
They don't actually change anything.
They just barely offer an outlet to my rage.
My heart and mind,
Never see eye to eye.
I realize it is this skin!
For some unspoken words it is this skin
Does it bare a mark of ancestral sin?
How when they built this country on their bakcs and tears and blood.
You've got my heart beat runnin' high,
make me feel like I can touch the sky.
You give me that look, your amazing eyes,
My heart takes over, goes into overdrive...
My heart is very sensitive.
It deserves to take a rest,
Once in a while.
You break, you buy it.
But then remember to also fix it.
Able, Capable to do all things.
Heart of a tiger, Please don't mislead, perceive, misjudge for I am just me.
The one on high can only do those things
It is a beautiful feeling
to know someone loves you.
That someone shares what
you already feel inside.
It can make you do unusual things
that you wouldn't realize.
I wish I could take
Route 80 to Heaven
I could sit down with you
And spill my depression
Sit back with some chips;
And a nice game of cards
Watch game shows all day
And keep laughing hard
My own mind is playing tricks on me. Im able to concetrate, function in school & even maintain my social life
What the hell is wrong with these peopleTreating others way less than equalWe have to fix this nowCause this isn't a movieAnd there won't be a sequelAn ignorant mind is feeble
Birds fly awayAs the sky turns black and greyMeteors rainBuildings engulfed in flamesPeople are crazed, enraged, and others are afraidExpected to listen to what the TV said
Lying on the ground believing in your stories
Falling hard within your astonishing glory
We live in a world where we sit and ask questions
We wonder why me? what did I do? why?
Since when does being green give someone permission to be mean?
It shouldn't and I know because I come from a school where being green is cool
and anyone who isn't is seen as a fool.
It's so hard for us to operate.
We're broken machines.
There must be a kink in our wires,
or rust in our rings.
Tarnished metal and bent-up parts.
You're my tin man
and I'm your tin girl.
Shattered love
I'm scared to love you for I might hurt you,
Or completely you might hurt me or desert me or destroy me.
You got the power to defeat me make me break and fall to my knees.
I look in the mirror every day and see myself
and ask what am i to everyone else
I've been called ugly names
that bring to my heart lots of pain
sometimes i feel sad and lonely
They say you will never amount to anything
That the color of your skin is too dark
You’re body too curved
Skin too tinted…
My heritage and my background,
The color of my skin or the color of yours
the length of my hair or the length of my nails,
My hieght or my size only have as much power as i give them
It's incredible really.
How two fucked up people,
from a shit town can
end up planting flowers
inside each other's wrists
and growing a whole different
atmosphere.
Take a second to breathe, to listen.
To hear the laughing and the whispering.
I get it, we all do, it's old news.
I'm gay, yes it's true.
Yet you don't understand, acting rude and all whack.
Listlessly running. My heart screams and rattles my eardrums.
My destination was once approaching me steadily as I ran across shards of glass.
I tread on flowers as rain lightly caresses my face, but inside there is a
Let this be your first night of happiness.
Let all your fear and troubles dissolve away into the darkness
Let this night, be a peaceful moment full of bliss and relaxation
The hatred residing within youIs testing my obligation to love you.What heart?That stone?That stone that cuts through the water, plunging to the bottom.It is caught in your toes.
I have been getting perfects score on my quizzes
but when my exam came back, I almost had a heart attack.
In my mind I had written a letter on the matching portion
but to my dismay I have left blank three questions!
Sometimes I wish I werea marigold,so faithful to the sunto rise alongside you,my center.& dusk--close my petalsaround the promiseof your return& never have to sleepalone again.
The night creeps up
and it stings because
it reminds me of the things
that we used to mutter and sigh,
laugh and cry
to each other.
The daylight shines out our pain,
Oh, but the night,
You could see the brokenness of her heart in her lovely green eyes.
Hear her cry of help through her soft sweet smile.
You could feel the emptiness,
the cold lingering sadness of her soul,
Can you feel it?
Those minute movements
under the skin of your chest?
Every tick of the clock
becomes a suture,
tying together
the shattered remains of the
past.
Sealed with foreward
The bones they scream in volumes that grow
I hear them begging to show
They want to press pass the barriers
They want me to learn “no”
It scares me as much as it thrills me
To take it all in and see
It's crazy how things change, the type of isshh that'll make you feel strange. I dont belong here, im not wanted.
three hearts beating out loud
it speaks it listens
in the silent crowd
hands interlock and we all meet
in a circle where we quietly greet
each other's rhythms beating as one
Oh heart of mine,
do you not know the mirror lies?
For you are truly divine.
But you dare to ask for a sign!
Why do you listen to misery’s cries?
Oh heart of mine.
Your worth and beauty, you are blind
Some may not know it
Because they can’t show it
Dogs feel, taste, touch, and smell
But compared to humans not as well
We hurt, as do they
They know when we are just putting on a play
Close your eyes.
Thats what everyone does during a horror movie.
When the music swells like a wave,
Warning you of some unforeseen terror.
“What is the meaning of life?”
Some say life is a punishment we are paying for our sins.
But how can we finish paying for something that’s without an end.
Although we are apart
He is still in my heart.
He fills up my heart with love
although he is up above.
Cancer brought you up there
and life sometimes is just not fair.
I wish he were home with me
While the world turns we've disheartened our
life styles
for nights that's wild
temporarily holding moments
just for a little while
souls being sold
for money in piles
I hold the silver over flesh and feel the sting of thorns.It seems like there was no damage.Ah, there it is.
If thou didst ever hold me in thy heart,
absent thee from felicity awhile,
and in this harsh world draw thy breath in pain,
to tell my story.
If thou didst ever hold me in thy heart,
Body Language
With the strut of the Wind,
The boundless flow of time.
Our minds tend to flutter,
With an undying chime.
Speaking through tocs and tics
Vision scattered,
This day was coming
We saw it from the horizon
And how akward it is
Now that we can hold it in our hands
But It'll pass us by
This is just a new beginning
Because we know somewhere deep down
Am I wrong if I tell you I want to make love to your mind first ?
Before giving giving you back shots that sweat out your hair in make your spine hurt.
I want to make you mine first.
I want to put in the time first.
I don't know why,
Why I feel this way.
I don't know how,
How to let you go.
I don't know what,
What to do.
Confused about everything,
Everything but you.
I feel hollow.
I stand on the beach,
The sand between my toes,
The salty breeze through my hair,
Where does my time go?
I sit to watch the crashing waves,
In and out, in and out,
Then I jump up,
If I were older than I am,I would be travelling the universe.If I were wiser than I am,I would be writing countless books to inform the publicthat I am doing something.And although I am not older nor am I wiser;
The water. It crashes over perfectly glazed-over, deep grey sand gently-- striving not to crack the breathtaking surface of reflections.
The sun. It sinks quietly into the majestic purple and nectarine colored sky like silk.
He has been walking along this blinding, stony path for quite some time.
The sun strains his eyes, and the stones hurt his feet.
Every so often, he trips along his way.
Every so often, he stays down where falls.
Flowers in the Spring,
Blooming bright and tall.
Rugged old pine trees,
Covered with snow in Fall.
The clear Texas sky,
With clouds that loom above.
Quiet, sweet,
In your life you're always judged. PRESSURED! YELLED AT! Until you're crushed. People will tell you you're not worth a dime. But giving up and crying is the biggest crime. Never stop until you're flying. Even if that means you die while trying.
In silence, the monitor beeps.
One button and it all stops.
And now he sleeps.
Hospitals give most the creeps,
The dim lights and dark halls.
In silence, the monitor beeps.
Time ticks slowly, almost like my heart with out you
Just like the Moon, has to be away from the Sun,
I have to be away from you.
Every once in awhile you visit me in my dreams
BUT WHAT IS THIS? THIS SOUL DIMINISHING DEMON
ENDLESS SCREAMS OF PLEA AS CRUEL HANDS SHATTERS AN INNOCENT SOUL
CATCHING TEARDROPS IN MY HAND AS I WATCH MY LIFE , MY SOUL DRIFT AWAY INTO THE WIND
Sometimes I feel fickle and frill
Alone with chills, longing for someone to want me.
Angry and bitter my soul is a sinner
Waiting to be purified by love.
Coarse and brittle unchanged by riddles
One runny nose and two puffy red eyes says she's being irrational,
A barrage of words only partially heartfelt,
Unstoppable and not the least bit held back
Tongue. Teeth. Lips. Air.
I am that nameless one, the one girl everyone seems to have an opinion on
Oh look, there's that one ! that slim one, I heard she was this , heard she was that
You hardly even know me to even talk. what do I do ?
Where did we go wrong
I thought we had so much left
But all the words unspoken
Left us broken...
So I find myself
Once more
Searching for my soul...
And now I am the hole
Wait Blue Beloved, I want to tell you, let’s snuggle forever, and stay with me in bed sweetheartTimes will seem too hard to bear and I will feel like life is giving up on me
There’s a bitch in my brain
she’s filled with lemon juice
and black tar
There’s a bitch in my brain
I didn’t see her
filled with fragments of broken mirrors
and
rotten fruit
My heart is a birdcage
Hanging from a tree branch and
Moving with the wind.
You can look inside-but don't touch!It might fall
and
break.
Sometimes my heart is the bird inside
There are some old notes at the back of my closet.
I haven't been able to get rid of them yet.
There is a rusted ring at the bottom of a cup holder.
And a bunch of letters inside a folder.
the mirror reflects
my image
i see all flaws
no light
am i really like this
is this what
others see?
Stupid.
how Stupid of me it waS
to fall So hard
for a guy like him becauSe
it would only juSt bring my heart
So much hurt
knowing that he won't like me
but alwayS love her.
I wrote this poem for you,
and i supose it will be the last one I'll ever do.
I know I have to let you go,
but i just want you to know.
That you'll akways be in my heart.
Just like from the very start.
Throbbing and pounding,I give you your deepest thoughts.You're not using me correctly,Everything about me gradually rots.
Tonight I am quiet.
I sit alone in my almost clean room—old
Coke bottles stand on my shelves,
filled with pop tabs, bits of magazines,
a testament to my overwhelming need to hold on
Bags packed,
path planned,
turned to go ,
feet dragging.
Is my heart
ready?
A simple touch,
a warm hug:
keeps me
here with him.
Hand in hand,
Here I sit with my heart in my hands
You look at me with a frown
Around my wrists are restraining bands
The chains hold me down
I reach out, the chains rattling
All I want is you
Her doleful eyes pierced his silhouetteThe mind, pushing back his tearsleft his heart unguardedAs lies escaped his breathso did their security
I wonder if the other tired eyeshang low like their hearts because past loversare in the past and the future movesfast,so fast.
People are unpredictable.
If you think they are who they say they are, then you're wrong from the start.
You can only know somebody, if you truly know their heart.
But how will you know that if they cover up their scars,
I wake up at night
Unsure of what may come sometimes
I have walked aimlessly
Like a song without a beat
I do not know whether I hold instruments of deciet
In what I try, in my existing dreams
I was cold and feared nothing.
I wait for death because I feel nothing.
Thought I hated everything and love nothing.
She cracked into my heart of stone now I feel something.
Eyes of an everlasting sea-blue sky,
Greeting my own whenever we two meet
I notice them as life passes me by
Knowing our next union'll be bittersweet
And still those eyes haunt my eternal soul
Through the shadows of doughts that flow through my mind, and the many evenings that never brought me to wake. I look the through memoeries and dreams of mine, to see how much my heart can take.
My heart belongs to you,
It beats for you.
It only wants you,
And no one else.
But my body rejects you
completely.
I am disgusted by your presence.
I want to forget you,
Living a little is being in touch with reality.
You love.
You laugh.
You cry.
You hurt.
I tried to outrun the realities of life, but then reality hit me; you can’t outrun life.
I wrote a hundred poems
About you, for you, to you,
But you never realized
Did you?
Those words were not just words
They were physical pieces
Of a priceless heart
A paper and ink home
A thousand cranes, a thousand stars
Folding and writing, hoping and sighing
One wish is all I want but common sense
Is out the window and the smart things
To wish for are not what’s tugging at my heart
A broken heart is like a broken dreamA wold left cold as stoneA place of darkness never to be seenI see you walk away as tears fill my eyesThis is a world where love can never survive
When you're talking about the things you feel,
About how daring can be so unreal.
As I listen with my breaking heart,
Because I don't know where to start.
Thinking it should be only you and me,
Here I am watching the rain whip through the window
The water seeps in the cracks of the thirsty hard wood floor
My face is soaking wet as I stand by the window, watching you leave
It all begins with the human heart
A heart
1 heart
Has 2 sides that work overtime
Because of those 3 words
And 4 chambers of which you are incased in every single one
Beating within a hollow shell,it's pulse sends me racing.
There's life still living in a tattered soul,no death will I be facing.
The fire is lit, I feel its warmth,I walk a thin line; pacing.
All these DREAMS I am having.
They are all free, yet worthless.
Some seem sorrowful sometimes
And some seem serious sometimes
As if they were worth of being dreamt.
I have realized the hard way;
Suck it in suck it out.
What are you trying to do, pass out?
Not something you wish to be?
Take heavy thoughts in wisely.
It is hard to watch when it's hard to breath.
Will you stop going weak, don't deceive.
what sweet melody is your love songI step into its danceyou pull my weary heart alongwe swing and sway in tender trancewhat is right, what is wrongfades as you take stanceinviting hands, soft and strong
10/26/13
The sky shattered.
I defied fate.
Every light source combusted
as every solid ground crumbled
but I stood among the rubble
firmly grasping my future.
The gods screamed in fury
A pasted on smile, stretched over bleached white teeth
Perfect skin, clean and bright
Perfect body, toned, tanned, and fit
Perfect hair, straighted and dyed
THESE are robot girls, ripped from glossy pages.
I loved you so much,Your feel.Your touch.The way you walked.The way you talked.I loved it all, so much.
I used to wear my heart for all to see.I wore it on my sleeve,easy to reach, no protection.But enough people stabbed it.And it would bleed and bleed.
But no more.
I feel for you my dear,
I do.
He fooled us all.
When he took his vows as only words,
and broke all of our hearts.
And the son you bore him,
will never know married parents.
When I see you, my heart singsWhen we talk, the rest of the world melts awayWhen we laugh, my spirit soarsWhen we touch, it is as if heaven and earth meetWhen we kiss, my life turns into a fairytale.
The ghostly chest stilled at the thought..
A future of love brought into existence quick like lightning
leaving the taste of heavenly ions on this earthly plane.
The words flow from my heart
And into my revolving conscious
Where at the jot of a pen they part,
And with revision, I am cautious.
Poetry is me,
And I am poetry.
Words rising and falling like mountains and valleys.Letters form Heroes with passion and calling.Seas of ideas, all structured in stanzas.
I write to learn
about who I am
to embrace the ugly things
so that I can no longer call them ugly
To force my attention to moments that sound dissonant in my mind
I put my pencil to the paper to drain my mind of flooded thoughts
No need to look at the page my hand knows my brain's soughts
From my emotions to conscious subjects I write it out in a cursive vent
Wings that fly, burning feathers in the breeze.
Soaring higher than any drug could take.
Roaring sounds come from underneath the steeze.
Falling feathers land hurting them to shake,
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.
Dreams fill our souls
Weaving, spinning tales
of love and laughter,
Blossoming hearts.
Scenes of life and color
formed not in a lens, but in minds.
Oh, the colors
It gets me through every day.
It expresses what I cannot say.
It lets me be someone else,
or helps me to be just myself.
It is at times my enemy, but also my friend.
I'm writing from the heart
To tell you I'm not special.
I don't deserve special treament.
I don't deserve your pity.
I don't need your pity.
I'm writing from the heart
Escape
Because a cruel world needs a safe place
Dream
Because sometimes a piece of paper and a pen can create a new reality
Emotion
Because tears come to often and tissue runs out
Love
It all starts with a letter.
Not a phrase.
Not a word.
Not even an idea.
The letter is the crack in the dam that is a brain.
Slowly the magic seeps through the crack.
As time goes on, the crack grows.
Oh to life’s little desires
Through irresistible body’s pleasures
Such do they bring the hottest fires
Within you cannot control
Within it gives comfort and console
Promises to make things better
Paper's there to listen when the earth has tuned me out,
Poetry's the pillow that takes my angry shout,
And writing is the friend that never fails to say, "Hello."
It doesn't need to rhyme and it doesn't need to flow--
Fear, feel me
As I cry.
With cold hands,
Twisting my heart
And tearing my love.
Hiding underneath the skin
Afraid, alone.
Appearing like
The torture of my indecision
And fear,
you can dream big
or you can dream small
or you can dream nothing at all!
but if you dream big
and reach for the stars
you just may succeed
as far as you need
and if you dream small
Her heart had lain dormant for a while,
Licking its wounds and building barriers anew.
Building barriers stronger than before,
To cage the heart
That had its first bitter taste of love,
To capture the heart
it was a flawless secret
one held too tight across her mind
it would push against her eyelids
so that every single time
she would close her eyes to rest or even blink
it would take control of her dreams
It is you I dream of night and day,
In my mind is the place you dwell,
It is you that causes my heart to sway,
I hide my love so you can't tell,
A mysterious person you are,
when you look at me what you see
darskin ,brown eyes and sandy brown hair\
do see a big smile, with dark lips
someone thats not that tall
but stand so tall and proud
all the time
Fiery red was the rock
It was boiling, scorching, blistering sizzling, burning, searing rock.
It is going to explode
To blast through the earth with incredible power, strength, and force.
And yet
It's all emotion, feeling the power escape when you let it free
i love that feeling, the feeling of marking down who I am, feeling like me
me and nobody else.. Just this little pen and paper
I write poems because poetry is my specialty.
Without it, I wouldn't be me or even complete.
I write because my handwriting is neat,
And the material that I write is written to intrigue.
Denied without love
Living inside my own blood
Opening my heart
Betrayal without a doubt
Jealous of the rebounds
Seeing the world in you eyes but your eyes everywhere in the world
In my heart there were feelings
That I never really showed
In my mind there were thoughts
No one would have ever known
In my lungs there was air
That would have never breathed words
I feel like I could go crazy with worry
So scared of what could happen
Scared of what is inevitable
Nothing is set in stone
We never know what tomorrow brings
Our heartbeats are limited
I feel like I could go crazy with worry
So scared of what could happen
Scared of what is inevitable
Nothing is set in stone
We never know what tomorrow brings
Our heartbeats are limited
Once upon a time,
Not too long ago,
There lived a happy little girl,
Without a care in the world.
She was sweet but shy,
When I am hurt
Words flow from my mind
Like blood flows from a cut
My mind is raw like my skin
My mind hurts like a wound
Pain radiates to my heart
My hand move quick
Ink stains paper
Bleeding Pen
My pen bleeds with passion
passion of ones heart
it bleeds my pain and my happiness
drips tears of sadness
my mind speaks through my hand
I may fade like writing in the sand
I live in Texas weather,
It’s way too hot for us.
We always pray for rain to come,
Then we always fuss.
When it comes I’m unprepared
And don’t know what to do…
I’m undecided what to wear,
Skin deep I'm blond,
so I must be dumb,
but my mind whirls faster than most.
Skin deep I wear skirts,
so I'm a crazy conservative,
but I'm quite liberal.
Skin deep I'm not skinny,
When it comes to my feelings,
My heart beats only for you.
This is a simple way I know,
The love we share is true.
Your smile, your laugh, and your gentle touch,
If women are not bound by their waistlines,
Then why do girls’ eyes droop at the sight of scales?
More like blooming tulips than heady wines,
to put it bluntly..I think im in the deepest whole.Sunk in so far,Trapped for an eternity.Im not going anywhere,And no one's helping.Now of days we make it so easy,
I watch them fly away
My hopless heroes
The only ones I've ever known
Scortched capes torn to shreds trialing behind them
They don't go to save the day
They've lost too many times
Don’t be sad,
But don’t deny that you are
If I could hear the color blue, you'd sound just like it.
I don’t know how to help you but,
I can help you recompose your sound..
To change the past was your mistake
A broken life you can’t remake
Scars become the lines that you have crossed.
A child’s yearning to be free
Became your own worst enemy.
Writing is like carving.Carving out pieces.
Pieces ofThe heart of Jesus.
Love in the face ofpain-filled hatred,hurt breeding hurt in the heart.
I wondered how
Someone so angelic as you
Could have turned out to be
The demon that broke my heart
And then I remembered
That Lucifer too
Was once an angel.
My reflectlion distorted by the cracks
As I passed the entry way mirror
Walking through the vacancy
My own footsteps echoed like thunder;
I stop
It's so quiet I could hear the dust
Settling behind me
As he lied, she continued to beat
Those watching could only sigh,
The ordeal consumed him, he could no longer eat
His body, his will, appeared to be weak,
Each and every question, by you or I, to me
My mind is quick to answer, so sure I’ll feel it be
An evolution strikes, as dusk turns into dawn
Awakened with wide eyes, my decision’s fully wrong
Panic sets in..
There's another storm in my temple,
but it naturally stands firm.
A place of ryhthmic vibrations,
and home of love's peculiar creations.
There's a need for an outpour,
I wish you were with me right now, so you could see the tears spilling out of my eyes. If you saw me cry, would you change your mind? I wish you could hold me close and whisper that everything will be alright.
Our hearts were once bound by white thread.Your illusions of a stronger netunraveled the fragile bond holding us together.
Here is a word, or maybe some more
I guarantee, simple is bold
We see the unseen
And feel the signals
The signals of heart
But there are choices
Choices to be made
Nerves racing,
heart pounding,
I walk up to the stage.
I have to read this poem
(just some words written on a page).
They're Robert Frost's
"Wind and Window Flower"
so beautiful but far;
Why did you have to leave?
Why did you have to be there?
Why did he have to take you?
Having to see everyone and everything around me so gloomy was horrifying.
You’re crying and you’re heaving
As pain rips you apart
And I can’t help thinking
Of how you do have a strong heart
Tears are gushing from your eyes
Filled with so much pain and anguish
It feels like I'm drowning in an endless sea of sadness
The pain sears right through my lungs
As the air leaves my body
I feel the darkness come for me
Let love not be just an impassioned flameDark like charcoal in a matter of daysFleeting birds escaping, his misled aimSomething so exaggerated in plays
I was not witness to a father who beats,
I was witness to a father who cheats.
I never said a word, I kept it all in,
I still wonder if doing that was my greatest sin.
My mother went on not knowing the truth,
Trees have always reminded me of lungs. They even kind of look like them. They branch out in the same type of widespread, fleshy mass with exposed meat, and their introverted veins; veins as in branches, veins that act as passages.
Three-hundred eighty-four miles apart.
Love knows no distance,
right?
I'm leaving soon.
You promise me your heart and I promise you mine.
I promise:
How long shall I yearn for you, Amazing?
So many uncountable days
Spent watching your beautiful face, gazing,
And my heart, in wonder, is set ablaze;
Wanting you never brings me peace of mind,
How long shall I yearn for you, Amazing?
So many uncountable days
Spent watching your beautiful face, gazing,
And my heart, in wonder, is set ablaze;
Wanting you never brings me peace of mind,
How could You?
Maybe it was all in my head,
believing we were different,
that'd we last longer.
I see the way You look at her,
it crushes me to watch.
It's not me you watch.
I wander throughout the earthSearching for my havenWhere is safety?All that I see is as the firstNothing familiar to my sightConstantly running from the pastForever hauntingHe hunts for my soul
I thank you darling
For those words that you spoke
To me that day we sat under the trees
In my backyard
On that hot summers day
The scent of my mothers yellow gladiollas
Drifting up our noses
Innocence…Enlighten my eyesYour memory haunts my soulWill you forget me forever?Is our separation an eternity?Innocence…Vileness consumes meDarkness blinds me
Some hearts are broken or mended,
Others are shattered or torn.
Although, it was never intended, because love is eternally sworn.
I have cried, and prayed, and pleaded, for this love to hold its ground.
Through the desert to the sea
None have found the right key
Simple, crooked, or sparkling,
None have matched up
Sailing through the moon to discover what I need
Closing my eyes and dreaming my own speed
I laid on the night's earthListening through the past's melodiesI felt the wind sweep me through timeI looked through a telescope and saw the faded starsA hundred and ten keys piled under the moonlight
The rods are all broken
The curtains are torn
The windows are cracked
The floorboards are worn
So much time wasted
Cleaning out dust
You marched in with mud
Hate and mistrust
Pain-filled days run longand hope is dashed with careless words.Love is lost in a night's sleep and reawoken in hopeful dreamsOnly to be found dead in the morning light.
The leaf falls briefly to its end, Next morn to be swept away.
The tree of life from which it came, Lives on to another day.
The plight of these is never seen, Through the mist and the yonder gray.
To clear my mind for the aura of a focussed being..
To put aside self inflicted insercurties brought on by societies images of perfection,
It’s so untouchable.
Something I could want so badly, if circumstances were different.
But even then, something I shouldn’t want.
Was your heart broken? Did it snap in two, Once you realized I couldn't have you?
How did you see me?
Was it the color upon me?
There is nothing different about this faceless creature
So now I ask
Stop, look around you. What do you see?
Not with your eyes, but with your heart.
What do you see?
People: meeting, parting, living, dying.
Nature: flourishing, decaying, living, dying.
Let’s swap hands you take my heart I’ll take your cigarette. Light me up here I’ll block the wind with the cuffing of my hand.
It’s summertime and everyone’s free
Taking life easy and drinking sweet tea
Hearts being broken yeah it’s the season
Girls dropping boys for no apparent reason
Boys leaving girls
I long to fall in love with my life
I yearn to live beautifully,
Crave to paint my life with metaphor
And plant seeds of meaning and significance
In everything I do.
I dip my brush in a pool of bue
To my past love you decided your own fate. You had me hurt and in a uncontrollable state. I had the false reality you were going to stay my mate.
My mother is special kind of woman
She is no ordinary mother, for her ways
Her ways are different, they are unique
As she shows love in various ways
She stared in the mirror wanting moreMore of what she lostThe world was mocking herCracks formed on the glass of her skinShe ran from the image and fellBetrayed by her body holding her down
Words and actions are two separate things, but both you need to discover somethings. Like who's in your past, or what will be future. You can't just say and expect them to know; you can't just do and hope it'll show.
Out of the frying pan
Into the fire
Just your fellow man
Mislead by desire
I can do it, I know I can
Liar liar pants on fire
Tears from the sky, like the 16th president I can not lie, About the fact that I'm turning into a storm, Which seems to be the norm, Because the clouds from which I see, Are raining constantly, Since the sun which brighten up everything with grace
We wish upon a shooting star, just to change who we are
Gaze among the stars so bright, just so we can see the light
Pencil marks bleed through the paper and litter the kitchen table;Long lines of illustration and the brisk patterns of written language.Rudimentary chronicles leave their legacy on that old
I don’t know much about the world, economy, politics and what not
I didn’t know about slavery or racism at all for that matter
I didn’t know about Martin Luther King’s dream and how the conquest for Civil Rights
Far far away my dreams reside...They are my innermost desires that I can no longer hide...My dreams are crying out to me so my heart believes...My mind whispers, my spirit grieves...Far far away my dreams seem distant...They silently whimper, but
The world has shut me out.
Told to never speak truths again.
My mind holds back my hearts true nature and shoves it in a corner of doubt.
My poor heart slowly becomes passive like a wild lion whipped into submission.
Seconds,
Minuets,
Hours,
Days,
Weeks,
Months,
Years.
All spent on you.
Me,
Laughing with you,
Making memories with you,
Loving you.
Dreams to me are...
The world within a world,
Is a story that never gets old.
As time alternates inward and outward,
My third eye connects the invisible cord.
Thoughts begin to gather as a sea of buzzing flies,
Unspoken words are very powerful words
Words that go without say
But hold strong meanings in the array of thoughts
These are my Unspoken Words
To you I may look like I got it all
Tell your haters
Thank you and your supporters
For being Mr. and Mrs. Literal
Takes courage to speak one's mind
Voices whether positive or negative
Celebrate, rejoice in your own vibes
I need your love.
Why don’t you love me?
Is it because I’m hateful?
I need your love.
Why don’t you love me?
Is it because I’m fat?
She falls into my arms
And I can hear nothing,
But I can see the last breaths her sick body is taking.
From everything I wished to have,
She's slowly fading away in front of my eyes.
A brush of his plumps makes thy drown in thought.
Savoring sweets off thy flesh though aren't dame.
Melting in cold hands one's soul does not rot.
Embracing, peering at movement in frame.
It’s Just a Heart!
By: Kayla Logan
The marketplace was off to a boring start that day,
Until the cry to gather close, they heard someone say.
I write to express
To give birth to fantasies
To show the real me
My secretes only paper can see
Keep the pain away, Keep my mind sane
I write
When I run, I am free, my chains are broken.
My shoes are like the13th Amendment; I am no longer a slave to society.
When I run, no one can own me, the road becomes my empowerment.
Strength, Struggle, Satisfaction.
I was always fascinated by the universe of New York and all the stars that hailed from its solar system but Brooklyn was a bitter taste that was hard to swallow.
Leave me
As the stinking flesh melts off the body of its unfortunate host.
Rain falls upon your dripping locks.
Blood pools around your sodden feet;
Or is it rain?
No one knows.
My grave is not marked.
Without you I’m like a bird without wings
Grass that’s not green
Trees naked, no leaves.
Without you I'm like a song without depth
Cheesy lines not in cards
The sky with no stars
Cut me open
Lay me bare
My beating heart I give to you
Beneath these lights
On this stage
I flay myself before you
Nothing is held back
Nothing will be left
In this small time
I'd give a day to hear the sweet warm voices that speak to me
To soothe my sorrows and fulfill my dreams for eternity
I rue the day they stop speaking to me
For I need them to fulfill my destiny
A sweet aroma, A calming sense
A solacing presence, A tender touch
Oh what I’d dreamed I’d one day find
Falling lies, severed words, tarnished feelings
All that I’d hoped I’d never experience or feel
Ten
I tell you of your sin
Nine
The anguish of your Eyes
Eight
Its the thing God hates
Seven
That No good girls go to Heaven
Six
Because no good girls exist.
Five
Both our deepest fear and most transcendent dream—
burrow deep within our deepest heart, not to be found
By those who search and search with just their hands.
It comes to us in darkest night, in most uplifted day
It feels cold here without you...
Its funny how much a hug can do.
Arms filled with warmth that surround you...
However your hugs were more than a comfort...
You not only handed me your heart
You weren't suppose to see
your unexpected timely arrival caught me by surprise
and you weren't supposed to see
The disappointment turn to happiness in my eyes
the smile that belies
my true emotions come to rise
I fell in love with you outside
in the spring
when the ground was soft and the
colors around us were dull but
beginning to brighten slowly.
The blooming flowers sadly
represent us in a sense.
You see a pretty face
I see a beautiful soul
You see a smile on her face
I see scars on her heart
You think she is
