Did I join the Wrong Gym?

My therapist told me
Exercise would make me happy
So why are there tears in my eyes
As I run away from my problems

Desire.

I long for your touch like a family reunion.

I Wait

I wait
I sit and wait
Nothing
Nothing comes
Nothing goes
Empty and alone
I still wait
I still sit and wait
Still nothing
Still nothing comes
Still nothing goes
Still empty and alone

So she was...

If pain was a color...
Hers would be three shades darker than black.
Cause after yhu left.
All her twilights became night, but without the moon!

Softer hearts deserve warmth.
When a person gives yhu their all... Please Cherish t.

A second tonic

I can't find the rhyme in all my reason
I've lost sense of time and all seasons
Feel I've been beaten down
By the words of men who have no grounds
Can't sleep beneath the trees of wisdom
When your ax has cut the roots that feed them
Forked tongues in bitter mouths
Can drive a man to bleed from inside out
What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?

To teach the fools who rule a lesson or two

when will it end?

Away she flew
Swept by the waves
A soul so blue
Now gone in the grave
And what can u do?
Nothing but remember
How she cried to you
On that night in September

The sitting poems revisted

caught a smile
of you in
my mind today,

and it was
like my last
memory of
you,

was happening
right before
my eyes.

and everything
in life
was pure,

and the kiss
upon your
lips was
just for
me.

and all
my souls
seasons
fell into
one,

and the
clouds in
the sky
were everything
in my eyes.

and you
in my
heart.

and love
was old
and it was
new.

and my soul
was sky
and you took
me with you.

today and
all of
our days
that might
follow.

and it was
easy to
see everything
in me

is you...

it’s like that

yeah.
it’s like that.

let me

before i say
let me
kiss you
only your hand only
as i can not do
more

my nations habits' prevent me
my will blame me
as i want to see
you so clear
as an angel comes near

and kidnapped a wealth
that for me my worth

but i will have no mercy
I whispered
into the inner spirit ear
I love you
and enforce taking your heart
and run away

could you catch me?

the love makes every thing so white and clear. the black point goes away.

I’m Okay

I wanted to scream
Until I heard the
Whistling in my ear.
I wanted a song
To pair with the freight
Train crashing through
My heart.
I wanted to feel my
Bones shatter
At the impact.

But instead,
I implode
And my lips pull
Into a smile.
"Don’t worry,
I’ll be fine
In a while".

Surrender (10w)

Stop fighting against
The brightening light
Surrender all to love

books of magic

i found a mystical chamber,
filled with a haze of sweet musk
and its walls adorned
with books of magic

a book chanted my name,
and in its decaying pages lived
a majestic portal to an
entirely new dimension

Hello Autumn!

I could feel the chilly weather
I am seeing red and gold
A season so bold
Oh Autumn!
Even though I couldn’t stand the idea
of you falling for the ground
Leaving the branches all alone,
You're the the season I want to grow old.
The season which gives solace!

Happy Autumn!☺

Because

Because the earth’s round
Doesn’t mean it’s having a ball.

Because waves crash
Doesn’t mean that they aren’t in control.

Because the sea is deep
Doesn’t mean that it’s thoughtful

Because land meets the sea
Doesn’t mean that they agree

Because you float my boat
Doesn’t make me the captain.

Five little ten worders to ponder.

An eternal sentence

I’m all alone and cold inside this invisible prison
But I’m my own worst enemy, trapped inside my visions
Thoughts run through my head and keep me from my sleep
They haunt me, they scare me, they are far too deep
I lie silent under my covers, screaming inside my head
But no words leave my lips, so I won’t leave my bed

Fighting with your own mind

For some of our most important beliefs
we have no evidence at all, except people that we love and trust hold these beliefs.

Temporal Exhaustion

Frustrated at myself;

But feel I need say more
than that
about these serotonin fumes
I give off.

Ye Ye - Daphni,
Heard it before
hon'. Where's the sweetness at,
Where've you gone?

H'on.

Looking For Courage

I know I'm a fool for
running away from love,
especially when love is the only
thing I've been dreaming of.

But I'm afraid of rejection, so I
isolate myself from other's affection.

Time after time I find myself
walking this road alone,
with just the thought of you
to keep me warm.

Why I write

These words are for me,
For I'm the one who's hurting,
I'm just healing myself.

I often wonder why we can't understand other's poems sometimes, but deep down it is the one who writes it knows the value of it.

¿?

What do you want me to do?
You say that I don’t love you,
That I treated you like the crap that I step over to avoid.
You say that I never put in the same effort that you do,
That your calls for attention went unheard due to my selfish screams that overpowered yours.
You’re done with me?
I’m okay with that.
Just remember,
There’s two sides to every story,
It’s not my fault you never asked mine.

All that there is ...

All that there is
of goodness
and of love
and of warmth
and of light
can be seen in the smiles
that you give to me
every hour
of every day
of every night

love; caring

love you.

keep
pushing me a w a y.

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!
Explanation 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
I love you all!!

Hear Me

I miss you
Like the rain misses the blood in my veins

You know they say we are made mostly of water
I drown in you

She watches darkness
I see the light in you

I live in you
Petty phrases and lifeless eyes

Why do you write?

Because sometimes,
paper is the only one
who listens.

Please mind the gap between the train and the platform edge

‘…If you are feeling unwell during your journey
Please seek help at the next station…’

But what if you don’t know when the next station is?

What if you don’t believe that there even is a station up ahead?

What if you don’t know what help you need?

Sometimes I feel like I am hurtling down the wrong track
Towards the wrong destination
And I don’t know how to get off

Perhaps I need to pull the emergency brake
And sit still and think

Perhaps?

red lipstick

today,
I wore it again
and people complimented me
they say red is my color
and it suits me.

today,
it's too thick and dark
did I overapply
no, it's the right amount
just enough
to make them think
I'm fine.

today,
I look at myself
in the mirror,
and they're right
red shines on me,
so I applied
another layer,
and another
until my lips felt too thick,
but my eyes still see
the scars beneath it.

essay

i'm still half a page short.
this essay is pointless
there is no fluff left to write

the cursor sits there- it
mocks me.
this isn't helping either

Untitled

Like magic in a hat
Reach into nothing
Pull out a distraction
A game of smoke and mirrors
Couple tricks up my sleeve
A bouquet of flowers
Don’t expect them to be fresh
Maybe if you have a second stop and catch their scent

the stories we tell

self-hatred
is art
just like
poetry
it needs to be expressed

a razor blade
is my pen
my skin
the paper
and my blood
the ink

art tells a story
coming from
deep inside
our darkest secrets
revealed
and once they're written down
they stay
forever.

Face it

Some relationships are not meant to be. It’s sad but this is life. You can not accept that, you can be sad and angry. You can drinking to hide the truth. Or you can just face it.
Life it’s like a trip on the train. If you are too focus on the destination you’re just missing everything.
I don’t believe in what I’m writing. Not yet. But it’s my duty to believe it.

they see me as a stranger

your eyes still look familiar
but the looks they give me now are foreign

glow

Your glow irradiates the room,
it heats the cold,
it lights the dark.
watch me dance in the embers,
praying powerlessly,
wishing for warmth.

A distant memory

We use to dance

To the rain

The sun

The moon

The stars brightened our dark sky

Shiny whispers of forever

Dawn waves a new day

Reminding me

You will remain

A distant memory

Clouded skies

No colorful rainbows

Love

We fell in love by chance,
We stay in love by choice.

I Am a Creature of Movement and Pain

I am a creature
Of movement and pain.
In movement and pain I exist
And have always existed.
To cease movement
Will be to pass from existence.
I am a creature
Of movement and pain.

A marathoner's mantra.

In the ocean

I saw the little boy with my own eyes
He cupped the sun in his hands
Then threw it away in the deep ocean.
It was him, who gathered all the sand
With his hands and his bare feet
Under his red pail,he hid it all, underneath
And threw it in the ocean.
Then he giggled really loud
That caused ripples
And from ripples emerged big waves…
In the ocean.
