47/F/New York I am a beginner writer/poet. I hope you all enjoy some of my work although I don't seem to get many likes. Please keep in mind that I am just starting out.
I’m missing how it used to be How you’d seek me out like a little puppy The sparks flying between us like fireworks Anticipation building as we engaged in conversation Then it finally happened on a steamy summer night The curiosity we had about our bedroom manners Discovered in an instant moment of gratification Our bodies tangled as mouths and tongues tasted one another But as expected things fall apart We’ve slowly morphed into distant acquaintances You pay me a visit only when you need to vent As I listen in silence about the woman you love and hate Laying wide awake in my bed Thoughts of you take me over Pleasing myself at the thought of your mouth Gifting wet kisses to that sweet spot You can’t deliver your message to my face That this short lived connection was just that Ceasing your exploration of me and my body Our association has reached its final stop

End Of The Line
I waited in vain for your validation In hopes that maybe you’d see me The way I saw you, beloved Sadly, you viewed me like thin air While I was mesmerized by your cappuccino skin And the way your hair danced in the wind You couldn’t give a **** about me I was just one of many who looked your way Even as I would ignore you in plain sight I would beg for your attention in my head But you only threw crumbs at me Like I was some lost street pigeon Keep your linty crumbs for someone else The hell you think you are? I am deserving of so much riches Yet I feel like some vagabond

Crumbs
My precious; that is what you are A dark crystal with gleams of color You’re a gem; a talisman to my heart This treasure I cannot grasp or touch It’s as if I can feel your energy Eager lips caressing my cheek Your voice audible only in my soul’s ears Sensing your body’s warmth beside me My mind is lost and unclaimed Are you really here or is it just fantasy Do I just want and need you that badly That fables start to form in my head You are a stinging grand sorrow Pumping through my icy veins The reason for my mental demise My guide to a vast lonely world

My Grand Sorrow
So what of those who aren't sought Or the ones afflicted with eternal solitude Where do our hearts go or rather hide We are the refugees of this so called euphoria An enigma so potent known as love We are those not wanted by it The unchosen and not desired It chases us away like we're rats Forcing us to scurry for cover When all we want is to be fed We've been shut out of it's presence Like we are unworthy vagabonds Sleeping on an empty cold floor Crying ourselves into slumber Only to be orphaned again tomorrow

Refugees of Love
Watching the sun rise out my window Emotions begin to run high This longing attacks me hard Feeling trembles go up my thigh Waves of tremors going up my chest Finding respite in my throat A knot forms ceasing any sound Blocking my voice from a crying note These weekend tears got me going mad Needing your body beside me bad My craving for you on level ten Tired of wondering how and when

Weekend Tears
Your waters are slowly drowning me The waves of your unrequitedness dragging me below This ocean so indifferent and cold My gasps for air fall deaf on your salty waters Your currents tossing me around like a rag doll Gurgling cries emanating from my lungs A Godly barge frantically tossing a life saver My attempts are no match for your choppy seas Fight I will with all my might To survive, to live and to thrive Victorious, I will reign above the drenching flow Of your dark emotionless undertow

Undertow
I want to look into your eyes Get lost in the hues of topaz Taste your rich brown skin With my eager hungry lips Feel the thickness of your curls Intertwined around my fingers Nuzzle in your neck for security Hypnotize me with its scent My mind shouts I should forget you But you are unforgettable In physical human form An event etched into mental corridors A muse I never imagined A being that’s left an impression On this helpless shivering heart Shrouded in a blanket of hopelessness

It just isn't in me Doesn't feel like it's right Although you hurt my heart In plain vast open sight All the years I spent hoping Some of them big, some small They fed my attachment to you You swiftly obliterated them all My friends viewed me as insane Thought I was losing my marbles Over some non existential connection Words about you on paper I'd warble I should hate and detest you Spit on the images of your face Set on fire the part in my heart Where you occupied a big space I won't allow your dismissal To shatter me into pieces My soul will fend off the wounds Till the memory of you ceases

Unhateable
What happened to your eyes? Blankness was residing in them A force field built around your perimeter Their protection of you my condemn I kept hoping for approval Some sign of validation Yet you had nothing for me Only a serving of rejection Gluing your eyes to an animated screen Shutting out the action around you I being caught in the mix My insecurities coming to a brew So now I'm the invisible woman Transported to a state of sullen My feel goods suddenly taken Hopes for your love disheartened

Invisible Woman
Dark wave pulling me under Dark wave filling my lungs Dark wave ceasing my breath Dark wave holding me hostage Battling them wicked demons They puncture the fabric of my soul Using their horns to injure and harm Leaving my sanity in pieces and shreds Opaqueness and void paints my everyday Grey fog envelops my clarity Storm clouds gather to drench me And whisk me away in it's murky waters I don't know who I am I don't understand why I exist If there is no purpose there is no point Living is just a waste of time
