Ego #1

"You can only be smaller
than your ego is large."
That's what they all meant
when they said: "be modest."
False claim.

Genderfluid (not female)

I know my face is feminine
I know everyone 'knows' I'm a girl
I know in this confusing christian society
You have to keep to the binary

And so I don't expect them
To look at me
And say "He"

But just once
Maybe they'll hesitate
Before saying "She"

That could be enough

Cranberries

Cranberries cry
And wait to be gone
From the world
I wait
To smile again

Sometimes, Smiling.

Sometimes,
Smiling seems so right,
But sometimes,
Smiling seems so wrong.
Sadness seems so right to get rid of, if we could,
But it's impossible to get rid of all the sadness we have...
Seeping through our brains,
It makes us go insane.
Sometimes,
Smiling seems so right,
Sometimes smiling seems so wrong,
And sometimes we want to remain emotionless.

~What do you see about someone's smile?~

you’re awake
when I’m asleep

you’re asleep
when I’m awake

slowly but pretty surely
we fall into a pattern
called ‘familiarity’

megan

and i left

im in my bed
instead of yours
and theres no one to blame except your heart not feeling the same

all the things that you said
it felt like you meant
so i packed all my bags, took my broken heart back and i left

Chaos in my mind

Chaos in my mind

                 Spirals on repeat

They left me behind

                  Blisters on my feet

I’m lost and I’m blind

                   Empty and Complete

I try to chase my thoughts

                    But they end up chasing me

Rianne, Sunmaiden Of The Cosmos

Rianne, our love is one
Sweetest Rianne, bright as the sun

I know you love me
Deep in your heart

So tell me you love me
When we're apart

Rianne, our love is one
Sweetest Rianne, queen of the sun

Tell me you love me
Deep in your heart

I know you love me
When we're apart

Cosmic seas are in our eyes
Poetry runs through our veins
Mystery swims in our hearts

And
I love you

Lost and tired

Lost in the sea of life
I'm tired let me rest a while
What do you mean "The world's now ending"
It has been ending since a long long time

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.

In the fall,

All is first one way

To turn, dry out

Destined to the breeze

Cold down from that

Introspective hell
Of knowing not matching my
Self appraisal

Sheep Rolling Over The Cattle Grid

They are like commandos these sheep
rolling over the cattle grid
I don't know why they do it
there is nothing on the other side of the road

No greener pastures
no future here in these lands
for there are sheep here
with their rams and lambs

Come back if you can
but I think it's too late. I don't kid
never I think you will roll
back over the cattle grid

red wine

i still look at the recipes you wrote about me.
you told me that baking requires trust—
maybe that's why my macarons burnt.

you were the most sobering experience.

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

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
455 likes and loves
Beware.

trust

what is to trust
is is to entrust
your soul to someone
is it to become from one
to two
come i'll give you a beautiful view
of my abandoned heart
since i trust you
i hope you to won't break me apart

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

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

U and I were both vulnerable.
the reason why are hearts remain broken and can't find a cure.

Life.

It hurts worse than hell some days;
Some days it's rosier than flowers itself...

Fighting on, living through the highs and lows, taking everything in my stride continuing to breathe even as I fight for breath...

nebulous galaxies
                          spiraling forth
stars collecting
                          in clusters              lost
configuring
               constellations           in

                                      space
and
                time-
                                  travelling
   through
                        light-years
duly                                             revolving,
              aligning
     with                       the Sun
                    and                           the Moon
suspended
                      in the interstellar

WILLIAM WORTHLESS

lonely mouse

there was a lonely mouse he moved in with me
somewhere he could live with some company
he lived in the corner in his little hole
happy and content and such a friendly soul.

i gave him bits of cheese he could nibble on
he would chew away till all the cheese had gone
such a lovely chap he had a friend in me
somewhere he could live and had company

light rye

flicker in the party's fairy lights
padded feet fumble on the wooden porch planks
stars shine in the leave-shaped ruddy strokes
A rose-leaf complexion peers over
the sugar dusted tree tops

You

I didn't expect to find you.
I didn't expect to share so much.
I didn't expect to like you.
I was hesitant at first
but of course
I gave in.
It was my own fault that I opened up
knowing full and well you would leave too
just like the rest.
You said you weren't like everyone else
and you were right.
You're not like everyone else
you're you.
and you broke me.
You took the pieces of me
you promised you'd repair.
You're not like everyone else
you're worse.

Listen It's Raining

Imagine if rain fall
made sound
when it hit the surface
the world
would sound so serene

Herd of Faces

People-

They look at you,
They don't see you
.
They laugh at you,
They don't laugh with you.

They check out your clothes,
They never check up on you.

It's a herd of million faces
Saying same words in different voices.

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

A piece of my soul chips

The way you embrace me,
Embrace all my flaws,
It makes me see,
How like a broken bird I've become.

The way you kiss me,
Like a sailors wish,
Stuck in the eye of storm.
It makes me a criminal,
Fraudulent in the pleasures I take.

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.

I have a crushed disc pressing against my spine.

A place in time

The here and now
A place in time
The world feels so soft
and open

Fulfilling my wish
A three part kiss
where time stands still
and I seize the moment

On the brink of lust
With each healing touch
And suddenly the world
appears less broken

The here and now
A place in time
Our soft worlds collided
and wide open

salt

I know some people
like to pour salt in the wound
but I'd never met anyone
who'd so carefully cut open old scars
just to clean them with saline
and delight so wildly in my pain
before you

adam, from the bottom of my heart, go to hell.
