26/Non-binary I'm a burnt-out poet/artist. Poetry is one of my ways of coping with stress, and art is another.
You are my love eternal I may be tired as I am more nocturnal      But it is all worthwhile                                          Because I get to see your smile My starlight love eternal

Love Eternal
I am a plant. I am a thistle. Cirsium arvense. Creeping thistle. When you first see me I am a beautiful, colourful flower. But if you come closer, you will notice two things. 1. I can ***** you. My needles are few and nearly invisible, but very sharp. 2. I am not ONE flower. I am a cluster of a hundred tiny flowers. I am possibility. My opportunities were not the best when I was a seedling. The ground was dry and the sun burning. However, as the forest around me, the sunlight that hit me directly lessened. The rain made the ground more fertile. The ground is still too dry. I need more moisture to live. It is difficult to see the sun at all through the dense trees. I wish I could at least see a little bit of the sun. I am a plant. I am a thistle.

Creeping Thistle
I am not here. I want to be part of nature's depth. My body is naught but a broken husk. I do not want to mend the husk. I need to repair its many cracks. I can be here again.

Where am I?
Don't go past the horizon. There's nothing there. Do go to the Horizon. There you'll find a friend.

Horizon
It is not fire that burns           the most.    It is not anger of an untold           story's ghost. It is the           poison and the           pain              which it                     brought. Yet without               it,   our tiny stories mean        absolutely     naught.

Stories
Silence echoes. It reaches        for you, that sound of silence. Let it reach.              Let it echo.                        Let me wonder. What does silence               sound                        like?

Silence
The sea. So many colours.    Green.        Grey.            Blue. All in between. So many emotions.    Rage.        Calm.             Peace. All can be seen. Reflections in       mirror-black water. Raging winds       over restless waves. Freedom! Ever changing is the sea.

The Sea
Idle days thinking... All the time we Make mistakes. Time heals us. Is it true? Roses have thorns. Evidentially the same applies to time. Doesn't it?

Thinking, Time & Thorns
A poem can take flight with our troubles But sometimes instead the weight doubles We carry something for so long And suddenly we don't know what's going on Dreams can shatter It feels like nothing will matter We try to move on forward But we realise we feel cornered Things happen yet time stands still Time passes yet it all stands still Life goes on.

Time Stands Still
One-Two-Three One-Two-Three Life was simple once. We would go out, friends. One-Two-Three One-Two-Three War suddenly came knocking. We would stand together, partners. One-Two-Three One-Two-Three Death was so swift. We were torn from each other. One-Two One Our magicians' waltz was over. I miss you already. One-Two-Three One-Two-Three Three. Two. One.
