XVII (I do not love you...)
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz, / or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. / I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,

My prepared speech for school- Love.
Sometimes you open yourself up to a person because you feel and believe that they're different and maybe this time they won't break your heart and that your love will be requitted. So you go out on a limb and open up so much of yourself to this person. Things that you're afraid to tell others about because of fear of being judged or rejected. But there's just something about this person that allows you to tell them everything. You become so comfortable in the presence of that person that you openly admit your flaws, you don't hide it. You just completely lose yourself in love and in the thought and concept of being loved, of being in a relationship and of being with someone that you can be yourself with. The idea of that person just completely excites you and everything about them makes you happy. Seeing them and hearing their voice just helps you in an inexplicable manner and being with them is an emotion of complete comfortability on its own. You learn to love this person and you accept their flaws and differences. You accept how they might not necessarily love eating McDonalds as much as you do or they are crazy about sci-fi movies where you can't even get yourself past watching a chick flick. / But that's just it, you don't mind. / You don't mind because love is about sacrifices.

The weak breeze whispers nothing / The water screams sublime / His feet shift, teeter-totter

I know why the caged bird sings
A free bird leaps on the back / Of the wind and floats downstream / Till the current ends and dips his wing

somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond / any experience,your eyes have their silence: / in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,

Don't Settle
Love, the real kind, is never simple. / It is the one thing that makes life worth it in the end, / and something that wonderful and sought-after is never going to be easy to get.

Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye
I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm, / your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm, / yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new,

A Poem About Liking A Boy I've Barely Known
The first time I saw you it was in math class. / I didn't notice anything about you at first I just memorized the back of how your head was. / After all, I had an hour to kill.

What Can Your Idol Do?
#*Can it love you like God loves you, with a love that is better than life? / Can it connect you to eternal beauty? Can it save you? Can it redeem you? / Can it lift you out of the miry pit? Can it make you clean enough to finally feel acceptable?
