I hope my poetry intrigues you
"It's water's lesson". Time paused into shape. Hardens like a decision; obscure or clear, the elements decide. Cools the air by presence, Pulls warmth in, to sink it. Holds without owning. Audible cracks, yet breaks without warning. Chipped, becomes fragments. Melted, remembers motion. Sometimes contains something ancient beneath silence, sometimes only pieces, clinking proof that stillness never lasts.

Backpedal
You are soft like yellow rose pedals I am scared, too damaged   May you slit my throat and spin my head to the wolves, and may I be alone. You are so full of youth and glowing, characterized by *** If I could only feel the way I kiss you -without my voice numbing my lips When promises fade away to words, how can I learn to hear again How can I listen? I can only hear myself.   Whispering and clawing, disguised as another.. I am the wolf

Self-preservation
I've been plucked from the most beautiful flower people would do anything to smell, to see, to touch the softness It hailed ground frozen; ice bullets gravitating towards my heart frost bites my skin The soil no more suitable for such a beautiful delicate flower, broken at the stem, rigid and slanted soon to decay, back into the dirt forever ingrained within land when the flood comes and washes all the soil amidst struggling, barley gasping for air the water chokes me, I squint to reveal a fish in the distance swimming ever so smoothly, scales shiny and brilliant imbricated as armor to a knight strong and natural

re·al·ism
It's really not you -it's me, you see I have a slight problem with intimacy Through the absent babble and lost words Somehow I speak, but am never really heard I lie awake; thoughts keep my eyes open Maybe I'll run a hot bath to soak in I can't help but feel bad for what I've done Fighting a war in my mind that can not be won

Slant Rhyme
I am endlessly thrown in the wind Dreaming of stillness Rain stop falling down my face so I can feel my own tears Thunder stop roaring so I can hear myself think Lightning stop brightening up the sky just to leave me in darkness Wind take me to the island where I smell nothing but saltwater and sweet fruit that awaits me Leave me with trees abundant with coconuts anticipating my conquer Fresh milk to drink and white meat to eat No worries, just the sand beneath my feet Where Waves only whisper my name at night and in day, Sun makes me feel warm inside

Stormosis
What's a story without purpose. My heart flutters uneasy when I think about my final draft. I stapled my soul to another page not knowing what happens when both pages rip apart. There are two tiny holes eternalized. Forever missing those fragments. Forever just a little empty inside. The first page needs a new staple. The ending needs to be rewritten -trash the other page, staple another. What will be the new ending to my story? What do I write on the next blank page? I have no ******* clue. Honestly, I'm still stuck on the first draft. Naive enough to get attached, I thought it was absolutely perfectly dreadfully uncensored.
