just_dandie - Hello Poetry

It's only appropriate you were born on National Bad Poems Day I haven't written since March But evanescent phrases have bubbled on by And I have so many thoughts and feelings to describe If I could paint a picture to portray how I feel, it would be covered in red and oozing zeal Or would it be a subdued hue, a mellow blue that suggests peace always follows you I could never render how I feel using our color wheel When I look at you I feel so deeply everything but color As black is said to be the sum of all shades I lose my very sense of sensing I lose my wit, my comprehending I gain everything else. I win smiles that spread into the eyes I get to hold my greatest prize I revisit my childhood yet envision the future My heart bursts until it needs another suture You're the spice that makes everything taste better You're the sunshine beaming brightly, no matter the weather Let's just say if we dug into the Earth's core, I wouldn't be surprised to find you You're roaring ocean, you're sturdy land You're my world, but I'd like to expand: You're my universe, you're my galaxy You hold my purse so my hand is free And all it wants to do is touch and be touched by you And all I want to do is love and be loved by you And all I want is already at your core I couldn't possibly ask for more You're my dream come true And every shade, every color, every hue Black. As the pupils of your smiling eyes Black, as the sky in between the starlight Black, as the charcoal left behind at our campsite Black as our boots and Docs on a concert night Black as the inside of my heart right now (There's no light source in my body, but I glow anyway) Because light is all around me and it's coming from your way

I'm always the one that got away, Never the one that stayed My dad says I go through men like T shirts So I'm keeping this one on I'm going to tell it I love it and sing it a song I'm going to laugh at its jokes and wash it with care People will see us and say love is in the air My t shirt feels all my flaws with the softest touch My t shirt tells me I'm never too little, never too much I beam with brilliancy, I ooze admiration My aura is blaring red like a carnation I have so much to give it simply rips me to shreds But somehow I still find myself in other strange beds I want to scream and bite and kick I put the hopeless in hopeless romantic In a world of fast fashion, How am I to have a favorite T shirt? I live in a world of options and decisions feel too permanent If I still continue to love you, is it still considered abandonment?

I don't have a favorite T shirt in a world of fast fashion

I'm always the one that got away, Never the one that stayed My dad says I go through men like T shirts So I'm keeping this one on I'm going to tell it I love it and sing it a song I'm going to laugh at its jokes and wash it with care People will see us and say love is in the air My t shirt feels all my flaws with the softest touch My t shirt tells me I'm never too little, never too much I beam with brilliancy, I ooze admiration My aura is blaring red like a carnation I have so much to give it simply rips me to shreds But somehow I still find myself in other strange beds I want to scream and bite and kick I put the hopeless in hopeless romantic In a world of fast fashion, How am I to have a favorite T shirt?

A month of pure chaos A month quite the whirlwind A time to have saved and sinned A heart set free within a world at war We end and we begin Where off to now? I embrace it all Spring, summer, and fall We've been drenched in the rains We've been imprisoned and tamed And we've even been pictured and framed And now the leaves crumble As my bambi legs stumble And I wander into something new New feels familiar but not quite like something I'll regret to do And so I've whirled and I've sinned And I've danced with the wind And here I am, still afloat I told you I would learn to love again And I'll do so with all kinds of hope

Whirled and winded

A month of pure chaos A month quite the whirlwind A time to have saved and sinned A heart set free within a world at war We end and we begin Where off to now? I embrace it all Spring, summer, and fall We've been drenched in the rains We've been imprisoned and tamed And we've even been pictured and framed And now the leaves crumble As my bambi legs stumble And I wander into something new New feels familiar but not quite like something I'll regret to do And so I've whirled and I've sinned And I've danced with the wind And here I am, still afloat I told you I would learn to love again And I'll do so with all kinds of hope

Love will always bring us back You can take your foot off the gas, you can burn the candle But love will show us how much more we can handle You can cut the rope, you can avoid the addiction But we will always be tethered, there will forever be friction I'm cutting the rope I'm burning the candle I'm watching the fire go out How could I once think That my heart would just sink As long as you were my shipwreck How could I believe this And Why would I grieve this The love that left us tattered and tortured I will not be a bystander to my own heart And I will not turn cold I refuse to be forced to change or even grow old I have an open heart for a reason I will always welcome love But I have shut this particular door And I won't look back, I won't lose track, not even once more

Tethered & tossed

Love will always bring us back You can take your foot off the gas, you can burn the candle But love will show us how much more we can handle You can cut the rope, you can avoid the addiction But we will always be tethered, there will forever be friction I'm cutting the rope I'm burning the candle I'm watching the fire go out How could I once think That my heart would just sink As long as you were my shipwreck How could I believe this And Why would I grieve this The love that left us tattered and tortured I will not be a bystander to my own heart And I will not turn cold I refuse to be forced to change or even grow old I have an open heart for a reason I will always welcome love But I have shut this particular door And I won't look back, I won't lose track, not even once more

Will the tears I've cried take years off my life? How many times have you killed me, once or twice? How many more hours, days, years will I waste With a cake in my face I'm refusing to taste Like a moth to my porch light I am beckoned by thee With false hopes of ever being alive, let alone free Your life is the white noise I fall asleep to Nothing I could sing to

Good grief

Will the tears I've cried take years off my life? How many times have you killed me, once or twice? How many more hours, days, years will I waste With a cake in my face I'm refusing to taste Like a moth to my porch light I am beckoned by thee With false hopes of ever being alive, let alone free Your life is the white noise I fall asleep to Nothing I could sing to

Love hurts and burns and scrapes Love brings the wildest escapes But love should be gently beckoned for Not ripped out of me It comes naturally And it comes before anything Changed attitudes don't change the past And conversations won't make it last Every time our bridge falls apart You put it back together with duct tape A valiant effort But I need a whole new bridge I want a bridge built in stone Every pebble comes from the soul You hold my hand and guide me away from the puddles But there should be no puddles in the first place There has been so much rain and heartache and pain I want sunny days again Whether I have a hand to hold or not There will be no puddles to muddy my shoes My feet will then guide me to every dream I left to drift in the sky I kept looking down at my feet to make sure I didn't trip and fall again and again But I deserve to stare at the sun and dance and twirl and be safe and steady on my feet The end of this love is not a defeat We will seek what is ours And grow into our individual powers We will step into prosperity Without having to hold onto each other We will walk to the end of the bridge And find our destinations

The bridge to love

Love hurts and burns and scrapes Love brings the wildest escapes But love should be gently beckoned for Not ripped out of me It comes naturally And it comes before anything Changed attitudes don't change the past And conversations won't make it last Every time our bridge falls apart You put it back together with duct tape A valiant effort But I need a whole new bridge I want a bridge built in stone Every pebble comes from the soul You hold my hand and guide me away from the puddles But there should be no puddles in the first place There has been so much rain and heartache and pain I want sunny days again Whether I have a hand to hold or not There will be no puddles to muddy my shoes My feet will then guide me to every dream I left to drift in the sky I kept looking down at my feet to make sure I didn't trip and fall again and again But I deserve to stare at the sun and dance and twirl and be safe and steady on my feet The end of this love is not a defeat We will seek what is ours And grow into our individual powers We will step into prosperity Without having to hold onto each other We will walk to the end of the bridge And find our destinations

Today was a dark day I am hollow as always (Except when I'm bursting at the seams) It seems... That we always come back to this space This empty mindspace Sorrow and numbness Fueling my dumbness What if brain cells died every time I cried I would be doomed So we enter the gloom Today was a dark day And tomorrow will burn my eyes Light and love will be found all around me Fueling the fire I already have everything I desire So today was a dark day But tomorrow will be sunshine and daisies I always hated daises But I soak up the sunshine like a cat curling up in its warmth You bring on the cold But I'm here to weather the storm I will always return to the sun I will always come back to the moon I'm a sword sheathed in darkness But I'm getting ready to glint and shine Happiness will be yours and mine

You should crumble completely when I cry But it seems to fuel your fire How many tears will it take to dampen your mood How many times will you call me a liar Before my honesty becomes hurtful, even vengeful How will you fix what's been broken then shattered then brought to naught How will you do it this time

Broken promises

You should crumble completely when I cry But it seems to fuel your fire How many tears will it take to dampen your mood How many times will you call me a liar Before my honesty becomes hurtful, even vengeful How will you fix what's been broken then shattered then brought to naught How will you do it this time

I'm not empty inside I'm full of gumballs or some sh it What? You think you know everything about my anatomy huh Dissect me then if it pleases you You'll see I'm full of too many muchness There's no space between my brain and my heart I'm bursting at the seams What matters is what's on the inside, they say Well I'm full of dreams There's no room for anything else Not even reality Why would I make room for that I'd have to replace my heart And we've grown quite fond of each other Everything I do is rooted in love Some love for you, and I'm saving some for me Just like the Halloween candy that lasted till February I'm full of gumballs and dreams I said You chew me up and spit me out I'm full to the brim so I have no doubt That I'll once again be devoured without a swallow I'm still full but something feels hollow I'm perfect for a sweet tooth But I'm no satisfying meal That's what I tell myself as I fail to heal But I'm not empty inside I'm full of something that's for sure And I might just have to make room for more

Full to the brim, bursting at the seams

I'm not empty inside I'm full of gumballs or some sh it What? You think you know everything about my anatomy huh Dissect me then if it pleases you You'll see I'm full of too many muchness There's no space between my brain and my heart I'm bursting at the seams What matters is what's on the inside, they say Well I'm full of dreams There's no room for anything else Not even reality Why would I make room for that I'd have to replace my heart And we've grown quite fond of each other Everything I do is rooted in love Some love for you, and I'm saving some for me Just like the Halloween candy that lasted till February I'm full of gumballs and dreams I said You chew me up and spit me out I'm full to the brim so I have no doubt That I'll once again be devoured without a swallow I'm still full but something feels hollow I'm perfect for a sweet tooth But I'm no satisfying meal That's what I tell myself as I fail to heal But I'm not empty inside I'm full of something that's for sure And I might just have to make room for more

We hid this love like an abandoned scene But you always come back for more, You always come back for me Am I something to be ashamed of? I wonder why we hide I wonder why our love comes and goes like the tide Abandonment issues, tear-soaked tissues, Soft kisses on the cheek, making my legs weak I pray this isn't our peak I can't feel anything I can hardly speak And there you are, so different from when we met Is this transformation or is this a trick? I'll take my chances And you've used up all of yours What's next? You always come back for me And I'll come back for you, too With wild abandon This is what I choose
