Wishes do come true.

Never be what some one
wishes you

To be.

Be the genie,
and show
Them your wishes.

Trust, friendship & empathy.

Alone

You are not here
and I am so alone.
I feel like making love
with you my new stranger.
I am waiting for you.
When are you coming?

Lust

I pen a poem
about
a beautiful
flower,
and think that maybe
it is about a woman instead.

in disgust,
i throw it away.

not that i hate her,
the contrary,
but to me,
it seems,
a flower cannot be a flower
and a woman
cannot be a woman.

on it

I need to stop being
sarcastic all of the time
- yeah, I'm on that.

I'm not a negative person - but my humor can be dry.

eve

you

Your presence
Sends shutters down my spine,
An indescribable feeling
Made of fear and confusing pain.
An overwhelming feeling
Wanting to scream and shout

Help,
Help.

Severity (TW)

I'm worried about you

you say "it's not bad, it's only scratches"
"they don't even begin to match his"

but whether you deserve help is not measured by
the depth or the size of the scars on your thighs

it'll only get worse
this addiction is a curse

please get the treatment you need
maybe then you can finally be freed

end this this cycle of suffering
try to start recovering

you are worth it

haven't posted in a long time but here; a reminder that you are loved <3

Worthless Penny in the Fountain of Memories

Oh...
Oh how I wish...
I had been a longer chapter in the story of your life.

i. Sunflower

My beautiful sunflower,
of warm, yellow joy -
infectious - as sunshine
beams across our faces.

An abundance of petals,
golden in the light.
Growing toward the sun,
striving for perfection.

Our beautiful sunflower,
nurtured and thriving,
growing through my heart, warm
with happiness and love.

happiness of being in love? feels gross to read it now haha

One Day

Maybe one day
We’d run into each other
Outside a cafe like this
In the heart of Paris

Two strangers who have
been in love for years

Still going

Still going

Before the end I will find a way.
Of this I am sure, no need to pray.
Never been a believer, except when I was told.
The story is getting very…old.

If wishes are real, then why am I here?
I cannot believe love is still not near,
When all I do is desire the fire.
My life in the ice is oh so dire.

But still on I go, through all the snow sorrow,
Not knowing where it is I will end up.
All I know is I am destined to be loves woe.
Still going forward; still distracted by lust.

Solid Perspective

look to the mountains to seek your peace
the ocean is ever rolling
beautiful
constantly questioning
the mist in the quiet blue of the mountains
gives solace
no misunderstanding

Alba

Some will sing of Scotland,
its heather and its hills
Some will sing of sunrise,
the coming of new dawns
Some will speak of hidden gems
some of treasured pearls
But I will sing of Alba Flower
when kneeling in my prayers.

I will thank my Father God
that she came before the dawn
that in the deepest night
Alba's bright new light was born
I will thank him for the joy
of finding this precious pearl
and thank him for entrusting us
with this wee bonnie girl.

Alba Maggie Flower bn 25 Nov in the early hours. Congrats to my friends Jon and Yvette.

MAKE YOURSELF

Whether a comma, or colon:
Punctuation slows my rolling
I need no period. When I end
no Capitalization when I begin
Rulelessly I flow my art
Not a single!
Exclamation mark
Are you not the one
Who'll know?
Where a question mark
No longer goes

Warp the structure
Bend the lines
Put in repeat
Let emotion unwind
Make yourself
Your poetry's the best
Be your own ruler
Pass your own test

Take your own road
Where ever it leads
Lover or hater
It's all poetry!

Traveler Tim

Hay
No matter who you are
You have my deepest respect!

Vanity but the computer is not correct

Moments

Time flies by so fast then its past

Remember special moments always last

So make some memories to treasure

Each day have and give some pleasure

So when second chances do come by

To love again say yes reach for the sky

Because I love the moments in time

When you're with me and you are mine

Cherish and relish everyday while you can

Precious are the moments when love is the plan

make every moment count

Lust

Deep within me
Is a hunger
A lust for life
An inability
To accept anything
Less than
Love
I stand
At the doorway
Of coming of age
And wonder
Why love
True love
Seems to elude me
I long for the permanence of life love
And
The only One I can get that from
Is
God

Mindfulness

They say the universe speaks to us
But with all the noises this world has
I never heard it, not even once
Now I'll let the galaxy pour in me
Maybe then my heart will hear what it has to say.

Knots

The knots know no reason
They come and go
Loosened or tightened
At will or not
They know no reason
For their being
And existence
Depends

Him

His face
The sight brings a smile to yours
His eyes
You can stare into them forever
His lips
You wish you can kiss them
His hands
You wish you can intertwine them with yours
His mind
It intrigues you
His soul
You can love it for eternity
His heart
It doesn't belong to you

Tell me

Tell me that you're listening
Tell me there's a light
Tell me that you've got me
And it's gonna be alright

Tell me that you hear me
Tell me that I'm loved
Tell me that my guardian angel
Is looking down from above

Tell me that it's safe here
Tell me it'll pass
Tell me that I'm beautiful
From the inside-out

Tell me that you miss me
Tell me I'm okay
Tell me that you're here
And that you'll never ever walk away

Tell me all these things
from the bottom of your heart
and I promise in return
I'll also play my part

I need you more than you
could ever understand
So please just take a deep breath
And when you're ready - take my hand

Autumn's Misgivings

Another cold Fall morning
when the sun dried leaves on the ground
are as crisp and golden
as the corn flakes
I poured into my breakfast bowl
When trees are growing bare
and questioning the wisdom of Nature's timing
When squirrels dash about
cursing their procrastination
It's when the only thing
I can think of what's wrong
with this time of year
is that it ends

and Winter begins

sea

closer but closed off

driving around
sun down

I'm out
feels like I was hiding nothing

I wonder
how things will go

for now
I will sleep

my guardian angel close by
somedays it's okay to just be fine

utopia

why would you do the same
you'll have me anyways
no need to work it out
if i decide to live with the pain
why would you ever need to change
or force yourself to rearrange
the way things are right now
have come to like your place

moon talking

perhaps I talk too much to the moon
and don’t listen enough to the universe

for I long for a love
too extraterrestrial
to ever find on this planet

perhaps a poet’s true fate
lies in solitude

for we yearn for connection
too shakespearean
to ever survive this modern day

I turn 21 on Saturday but feel around 70 if i’m honest.

Dead lover

My poems

I bleed through words,
From the cuts given by the society.

I want to escape and fly like birds,
With a hope, it all ends my agony.

sitting under the rosy sun
trying to escape the problems i cant outrun
waiting for the days to pass
people waiting for me to fall and crash
and i'm getting pretty close
underneath this sunlit rose

To my Master sahab

Grief
Let me just sit with you
For brief
To see
How you are going to berieve me
For the loss of my dearest,
Just sit with me
Stay quiet but
For the loss have i born
Is unbearable to speak in tears.
So
Oh you grief
You are adjorned
For the time being
So i can cherish his memories!

My sigh of relief

you never asked to read my poetry
maybe that was the sign.
i told you i wrote for fun,
you shrugged and moved on.

red flags went up everywhere, but i didn’t bother looking

misha

drunk on you

your name is
forbidden in
my mouth
or in my heart
because when
i think about
you;

i'll cry a little more,
hurt a little stronger
love a little softer
because you no longer
make me feel sober

i'm drunk on the
memory of you

if only i could chase you with pizza but shots don't work like that

Let my silence teach you

what my words

did not

This year, do not explain yourself (especially repeatedly) to someone who does not listen. Let your silence be your response. Let your happiness be your response. Let your peace be your authenticity.

Giving thanks

I'm slightly shameful
That it took great loss
For me to appreciate
The family I've got.

But maybe that's life,
And all that I can do
Is be here for who's left,
And be grateful for it too.

Lady Misfortune

An Empty Cup

I say:
Do you want me to pretend you do not exist?

She says:
Do as you wish.

I perceive:
All I was once you moved onto the next,
A waste of breath.

What a mutual perception process,

You keep on running and now I have nothing but my beliefs.

And what do you have?
Your cup is empty

It would be full but...
You poke holes in all the words I speak

The art of assuming the worst
