Poems

May 12

I'm a fat ass stoner
eating peanut butter from the jar
watching new girl on fox
wishing I was zooey deschanel
or maybe just looked like her
cause people don't dig her personality
marijuana is bad for fat girls like me
time for a glass of milk
and a cookie

really awful poem, only one I've recently written.
Apr 21

I need the ocean in my life. I need to be by it, in it, near it. it's like my long lost love I've been searching for. I cannot go another 8 years without seeing it.

it is the most beautiful peaceful thing in existence. once I see it ill have found the missing link to myself. I will make sense again. my mind will be calm and free. I might even start crying.

I need you to understand my need for the ocean. I can't go for years on end without digging my toes in the sand or feeling the salty spray upon my face. hearing the waves crash on the shore. the seagulls in the sky & the smell in the air. nothing can replace that, nothing can imitate that.

I long to hear the waves outside my window as I lay in bed. I would sleep on the beach if I could. and if the crabs didnt come out at night & pinch me. wish I was there, sitting in the sun, on the sand. listening to the waves of infinity.

Mar 12

you go to bed at night
alone
I come home after midnight & sit
alone
you shower in the dark
while I am just greeting sleep
I wake up in the afternoon
alone
always opposite
meeting out of order
maybe we are time lords
just out of synchronization

Mar 2

dizzy
headache
hallucinate
blue blue veins
run across my chest
electric visions
of neon
follow them wherever they go
everything leads to the heart
my blood runs, dances through my veins
you trace them with your finger
faint lines
all over my body
like a route on a map
follow my blue veins
back to the epicenter
back to my heart
you're permanently locked away
inside
forever

she comes to town with groceries & luggage
it feels like a bizarre episode of a 1950s sitcom
she's made dinner & brought dessert
food fit for the best company
she makes you feel taken care of in your own home
she's gonna make breakfast
eggs toast & orange juice
she comes with a big bag of grass
and some sass
served up  with a smile
she seems like such a celebrity
coming from Boston California Florida or somewhere else she's been
handing out hotel soaps & shampoos
leaving you with groceries & grass she's gone before you wake up the next morning
driving off to another adventure

I long to be purified
envelop myself in clean
untouched beauty
natural
like emerging from the ocean
naked
wash away the filth
this life has me covered in
pure as fresh fallen snow in the arctic
pure like vanilla ice cream
creamy white & smooth
I wanna be reborn immaculate
unsoiled, unadulterated

I'm never prepared for Sunday nights.
They come too quickly
Leaving me alone on the couch
Watching terrible late night tv
Cold despite being wrapped in a blanket
Think of all the meaningless things we spent time on
When we should have spent time on each other
We never realize these days could become a precious commodity
If I were to ever lose you
I'd think back on the time I wasted
I don't want this to keep slipping thru my fingers
I want to grab you and never let you go

Nov 20, 2012

I wanna smell like milk & honey
Like I melt in your hand
Creamy white thighs
Curves in all the right places
My apron always hiding them
Baking in the kitchen all day
Flour on my nose
My hair smelling of cinnamon
Lips like sugar
That you just want to nibble on
Dip my finger in frosting
Lick it off slowly
I wanna devour you like a gingerbread cookie

Liar. Cheater. Whore.
Names I call myself in my head when I think of all I've done to you.
How could I break your heart so many times? How could you take me back all those times?
I am nothing without you.
Why do I always argue, always have to be right? Why am I always so grumpy, and why do i always cause a fight?
These questions dance in my head while laying down to sleep.
Maybe I'll never know until I'm six feet deep.

feelin insecure again
I look at myself
and never like what I see
it's never enough for me
unsure of what I wanna be

sick of trying to find myself
sick of second guessing myself

why can't I be who I am
the way you see me
through your eyes

honey you think too highly of me

Nov 20, 2012

darling can we get shipwrecked
to a deserted island?
run around in our bathing suits all day
build a hammock out of leaves
feed me pineapple and coconut
catch fresh fish for us
grill it over a fire that you made
sleep in our hut at night
kiss in the rain
let the waves lap at our feet
build sandcastles all across the beach
take a shower in a waterfall
stay like this together
forever

He appears out of the fog
His eyes searching the room
He is on a mission
He locks in on you
And suddenly he is in front of you
His hand on your breast
His lips on yours
Tasting, caressing
Always wanting more
He overtakes you
Lost in the haze
on a velvet couch
The moon shines thru the window
Onto your pale skin
Two lovers at midnight
Who can never see the light of day

I want to write about you but don't have the words to do you justice

I want to think about you but I can't  focus long enough to think

I want to touch you but my hands are bound behind my back

I want to kiss you but don't have lips worthy of touching yours

I want to talk to you but nothing comes out, just my breath

I want to see you but my eyes can't find you

I cannot get warm tonight
I am cold to my core
wishing your bones were touching my bones
body heat exchanging between us
like a current of electricity
it is something i easily miss
when laying in bed alone
without your warmth heating me up inside
every night I inch closer to the center of the bed
as you aren't here to push me back to my side
next to you
not on top of you
as we sleep.

She drove along the coast
Wild purple hair blowing in the breeze
The ocean reflected in her heart shaped sunglasses 
She left everything & everyone behind
For this moment of freedom
She had said goodbye to her lover
Then grabbed the keys to her car
And headed west 
She changed her name
Before she disappeared 
Into the sun

Jun 22, 2012

Why do I always
Fall for boys with blue eyes that
Love to lie to me

Roll a joint and smoke
Listen to radiohead
Spinning in a chair

Jun 10, 2012

Throbbing & Pulsating
Sweat dripping off your body
It's raining glitter
The music pounds in your chest
Skin Against Skin
Eyes burn into mine
Everything feels electrified
Bodies Moving Fluidly
Lost in the bass
Lost in ecstasy
The Beat Moves Me

It took me a ver---
y long time to figure out
How to write haikus

Crash and Burn perfume
Makes me feel like a sex bomb
I love to wear it
