This day of love,
My heart slowly wants to crack
Slowly and foolishly weak
It starts to crumble into pieces,
Like stars that we once wished to in the sky

A wished selfishly forgotten by the gods
Loved washed away by tears of our broken hearts
But the Gods should remain still,
For this Valentines Day
My heart will never break apart
Richard Frank Dec 2018
I was trembling and sweating
Heart beating like drums,
Pulsating through your ears and body
Tingling vibration in my skin
Chills walking on my spine
Darkness loomed my mind
The cowardice had taken over me
Provoking my deepest anxieties
The demands of courage are different from what I envisioned
Different from that bright morning, when I felt brave
Deepest Fears
Richard Frank Jan 2019
He was in his death bed laying on his last moments
As he reminisces, he plunges himself to the past
I am dying, he thought himself
Pondering about the things he's never done
How he never swam the vast oceans across the world
Climbed the tallest mountain that ever existed
Regretting about how he never stole the stars from the night sky

Here he lays on his death bed faced against his mortality
The cold and dark death whispered across his ears
An afterlife might be waiting after him,
He might be reincarnated and live a thousand lives,
But this life will remain unlived
The school came up and I've not been posting poems lately
Richard Frank Jan 2019
He who knows the war will know peace
He who lives when faced with death
He was audacious when he descended from the ashes of fear
He was smiling when everyone was weeping
He knows peace
My first short poem that doesn't revolve on love
Richard Frank Dec 2018
A rain so stupid, it touched my flesh with its bare hands
Every drop clinging to my attire
Soaking my very existence with a splash
Seeking to find a shade, but the storm hesitated to stop its rage
During the rain, anxiety unfold
Am I to be locked in uneasiness?
I felt lonely, it felt it left a void in my heart
The cold, harsh cloud started to drift away
The scorching sun shone on me,
simply catching my breath
Rain wont go away
Richard Frank Jan 2019
In this world full of strange men
Their weary eyes clouded with grief
It windows through their empty souls
As they their sorrowful soul seek light outside
But they cannot find the light in me,
For me, myself were finding light in this dark place
Wearing their deceitful smiles, it hung across their faces
In this world full of strange men
Richard Frank Jan 2020
She, like Mona Lisa
Mysterious yet lovely
A smile full of simplicity and joy

Crafted by the hand of God, perfection shows itself
When you look at me, I thought I had you
A face that encapsulatesΒ Β beauty and popularity

Perhaps that's why I never had you?
You were stolen by someone else
Richard Frank Jan 2019
As the wave kisses the land
The wind passes by gently across the shore
It ripples through the sea
One by one, the waves disappear inevitably
It fades from my sight, as it vanishes from the bay
The sun withdrew its rays
The breezy sky transitioned its way
Night has embodied the heaven
Looking down on the playful waves
Let me try waves
Richard Frank Dec 2018
Christmas essence was passing by
Winter was icy and blue
Songs calling out from the sky
It's so beautiful, the starry night
Swirling into gleaming stars
Shining upon the land below
A delicacy prepared across the table
The the whole world is enveloped with joy
My first try :)
Richard Frank Jan 2019
The cloud was lonely
The world was sad so it weeped
Tears fell from the sky
Another haiku
Richard Frank Dec 2018
Winter's about to end, snow fading
Leisure days melting
New Year will mark the calendar
As I walk to the park one last time
Before school will come to an end and arrive
I pondered about myself
In my deep instropection, shining light disrupts

It was a shooting star streaking throught the velvety sky

Behold! The sight of milky way so elegant

Swriling in space, spiraling spiraling

The moment is fleeting

Moment I'm living
It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!
No! Second most beautiful thing
For the most beautiful thing in the universe thatΒ Β I saw that night,

Was her smile
I know nobody's gonna read this. Well it ***** anyway.
Richard Frank Jan 2019
They peek through the night
Dreams scattered across the sky
In form of a star
Richard Frank Jan 2019
I was bonded with dreams and fantasies
May the heaven come down and hear it
It was lost in the stars
Soaring the heavenly skies so high
Flickering, Shining
Submerged in an emotional bliss,
Seemingly drunk of passion and contentment
#Dreams #Hope #Stars
Richard Frank Jan 2019
Always, they say, we are not meant for each other
That love was never made for the both of us
That your flaws tear us apart
I beg to differ
You're just perfectly imperfect
Let us try this
Richard Frank Jan 2019
It's thought that I'm the God of Romance,
Descended from heaven to unfurl love
But then I saw you
And then I knew,
The world is already full of love
Just came back
Richard Frank Jan 2019
As the sun navigates the sky
Ages will pass and time will come by
When the stars were shining, I was growing up
Responsibilities had settled in
And before I knew it,
I forgot about the stars
Richard Frank Jan 2019
There was something mesmerizing about her face
Her skin as white as snow,
Seemingly conquered by winter
She was listening to music, with an elegant smile
Relishing upon the night wind
Like gravity,  
She's like the force that keeps all the stars in the sky
The universe reveling against her glamorous beauty
Richard Frank Feb 2020
How does one even love?
When one's heart lost its warmth
No amount of bandage to mend my shattered soul

How does one feel?
When the shimmering sun has forever left my days
And the lonely nights cast a shadow

How does one even have happiness?
When joy slowly drifts away
As you look at my eyes and see no life within

How does one even live?
Even in the brightest days,
My life is dark
Richard Frank Jan 2019
If ever, I disappear from this world
If ever, my existence has returned to dust
Scatter me in the night sky
Submerged me with the stars
So I will lay down on the cozy heaven
Gazing down on you
You'll make the earth so fine
Even the stars will be in love with you
I offer a short poem
Richard Frank Jan 2019
Her smile had changed strangely
Hey eyes filled with apathy
It’s like she’s found someone else better than me
I remember when I first met her, warmth filled my soul
But in the midst of this bustling summer night sky
Never in my life, night has ever felt this cold
If only, I should’ve known sooner, I wouldn’t have to cry
I shouldn't have set you free and be happy with someone
If only I knew sooner, I wouldn't love in the first place
Richard Frank Dec 2018
I look upon the summer night sky
All I see the cosmos awaiting its end
I care not for everything will end
So I will love you for you mean more than the universe to me
Short Poem
Richard Frank Jan 2020
When I first laid my eyes on you,
I fell in love so passionately
My heart pounded deeply into my chest

Happiness overflowed my soul when you felt the same too
When we held hands on a beautiful summer day
When you kissed me and told how much you loved me

It saddens me to realize the delusion I've created
The result of a playful and desperate mind of mine
The love that doesn't really exist

Because we will never be for each other
yeet
Richard Frank Feb 2020
In a world full of exceptional titans
They walk the lands and the world shakes
Talents forged in the highest forms of heaven

They scoop the gold glittering sun with their palms
Stars bow their heads as they twinkle with affection
The seas shake in fear and the world spins for them

I was overwhelmed,
Because who am I compared to this shining titans,
I was just a peasant farmer
Poor and helpless with nothing to boast of
Richard Frank Dec 2018
It was a special day in her life
I was wearing my sophisticated  black coat,
Holding white tulips in my chest
Such a beautiful scent, a fragrance like her heart full of love
She was waiting for me in her white gown, waiting to be seen by me

It was a special day, there's no time to wait
I went to the church as quickly as possible
Finally, I was here, opening the door with creaking sound
I nod down smiling, walking in aisle steadily
The tulips in my chest, petals falling off the ground
Finally, I'm here in front of her, she was smiling
So I smiled too, I was happy but a little lonely
Rain started to fall down, so does my tears running across my cheeks

She was beautiful in her dress,
Lying down in a bed full of glamorous roses so beautifully put in
Her smile is so elegant
I kissed her forehead, my tears dropping on her face
She's so beautiful when she sleeps, I can't help but weep
She was in the midst of her enternal sleep
Lying down like the star in the sky that shines brightly
Goodnight my love
:)
Richard Frank Jan 2019
Yesterday, it was raining and there was love
Rain sprinkled across the sky
Pouring against your lovely existence
It was love at first sight, the feeling was no any other

After some time the rain grew stronger
But sight seemed to have changed
Love didn't seem to reach like it didn't matter
Today, it was raining, but there was no love
Richard Frank Jan 2020
I want to be forgotten,
Like the sun during the night
I want to be forgotten,
Like the history buried in past

I want to be forgotten,
Like the people who were once known
I want to be forgotten
Like the happy memories, we always had

I want to be forgotten,
Like what you did to me

Always remember to forget me
Richard Frank Jan 2019
If loving you is war
I will be the soldier
And I save the world from your madness
Richard Frank Jan 2019
I was alone, lost in an intergalactic cosmos
Wandering across the river of stars, with nowhere to go
It was melancholic,
Not even the sprinkling light of the sun can reach
There was nothing mesmerizing about me
Even I was abandoned by Gods in the underworld
Lumped with the living dead, and perished souls
A rock to small to be noticed, too far to be seen
Too lost that I was forgotten
This is my first poem about a planet so it wasn't that good.
Richard Frank Feb 2019
Labor has finally come to an end
The world has finally drained me
Engulfing myself with comfort
On this delightful, elegant bed
Remaining stationary,
I refused to be in motion
This bed has loved me more than anyone did
After some time, tranquility conquered my mind
And then, my day has come to rest
Richard Frank Mar 2020
It was a confusing world
One dares to say
Baffled by the universe mysteries
Puzzled with all the intricate philosophies

With all the vanishing clouds
And invisible forces that engulf us
It doesn't matter
In this confusing world
You're the only thing that makes sense
What
Richard Frank Jan 2019
Reincarnation so good might it seemed
People outlived their old lives
They rejoice to relish their thousand lives
But they are not bound to suspect the greatest thing
To live only one life to love you
Richard Frank Jan 2019
If I shall die tomorrow
I shall look upon the shooting stars with you
As they fall from the beautiful night sky,
They were neither sad nor happy,
Nor they grant your wish
But when you look upon them again
Time will tell you who I am
And I want you to remember me
Like a sparkling shooting star,
That came in your life and disappeared
I hope the day will come when I can finally write a short poem besides stars and the sky.
Richard Frank Jan 2019
Seasons pass one after another
Hope leaps like the grass that grows sweet and green
Shaking the earth beneath the flowering plums of spring

As the sun conquers the sky,
Its eyes wander the heavens with pure apathy
My life is all dried up in midst of bustling summer

While the wind stirs whispers to the trees
Autumn walked the earth with rage, perishing the colorful leaves
It withers and falls along with my hope, cries of annihilation howls the skies

Winter has impaled the world with its bare fingers
The silver hue dominated the sky, crystal snow falls silently
The world grew colder, so did my heart

Dear, my repugnant past, I bid you this poem of farewell
For in the next season, a flower will bloom to tell a poem of hope
But it will never die out, even if it is starved of sunlight
A poem of farewell
Richard Frank Aug 2019
small letters for your naive soul
because no matter how big and meaningful words could be
words can't seem to fit in your small uncaring heart
Richard Frank Dec 2018
We were lying on our backs
Surrendered to the night sky
I gazed to her like I did to the stars
So memories ought tell me,
I loved someone so beautiful in my life
Love will never perish
Richard Frank Dec 2018
It was a dream exemplary and honorable
Delicacy laid in a glittering table
What a sweet dream it was
The sight so glamorous it will never last
The sweet scent has gone by
A luxurious aroma so enchanting, like I'm about to fly
Living in a castle full of delicacy and dreams
A knock on the door swept in
Come on and join me and take my heart
My sorrows withers when I'm with you

Trembling, Crying
The table is breaking, castle is fading
Shes chomping the delicacies voraciously, without hesitation
My Pride, My Hope, My Dreams
She ate it all, it shreds my heart
And when she's done,
She left to find a new castle
Worth 30 of my time
Richard Frank Dec 2018
My eyes ran naked across the sky
It was bombarded with flashing bright colors
They were shining with passion
Souls seemingly igniting high up the clouds, greeting the stars from above
They are free falling, they are lost
Leaving traces of ashes and dust

Ashes that signifies the past that they left behind
Scattered dust that symbolizes our vague perception of our future
They befriend with our sweet night sky, like how we will greet our new year
The flashing lights, asking us to be exactly who we are,
Magnificent spark of human life
Just like that fireworks, we ought to appreciate whatever happened and whatever will happen.
Richard Frank Feb 2019
I wake up every day,
Sunken into a miserable life
I weep over my sorrowful fate
Light shines upon me,
But instead of hope,
I live life like I'm a bare shadow
Living so pointlessly
I can't be sure if I'm me anymore
I was born sadistic in this world
But the world is slightly sadistic than me
Richard Frank Jul 2019
I sat quietly in the room with faint light
Like the light that once lit my soul
I gaze upon the world outside the window
Nothing but the sight of rain was on my sight

Splashes of water that washes away the will
Draining every last bit of my motivation
The liquid that pours over my lifeless heart
And vanquishes the remaining fire in my eyes

But the rain would soon fade
Hoping that passion would one day come back
Perhaps, the light will once again show its colors?
Only the cosmos would know
Richard Frank Jan 2019
The moon shines brightly
My soul is bounded to it
And I fell in love
My first haiku
Richard Frank Feb 2019
I saw a storm far beyond the horizon
Its wrath annihilates everything I hold dear
I realized that it's uncontrollable,
Beyond man's control
But I fret not,
Even if the sun doesn't rise
Because the storm is what I seek truly
Inevitable but enduring pain
The lightning is what I dance with
Richard Frank Jan 2019
The past looked was engulfed with regret
Prepared to unleashed chaos and despair to the future
The future was worried and unsettled
It ponders whether to fight or to run
This two came crashing like light and darkness
In the midst of this, there was the present
Imitating the movements of leaves
Steady and calm, not rushing
Relishing the moment of still
Richard Frank Feb 2020
Wandering across the vast space
Lost in this dark place
You're mesmerizing, has anyone told you?
I'm so attracted, I'm being pulled towards you

I was spinning, I was spiraling
I'm so attracted yet I can't get near you
Why are we so apart?
Your beauty is worth admiring

Our love is a forbidden place,
Our love is sacred
Will you listen to my heartbeat?
Or can I just stay in your orbit?

I was looking for my constellation,
And then I found you
One day, I hope our worlds will collide
When that day comes, we'll finally fly
pLaNets
Richard Frank Dec 2018
She was looking down on me
Gazing from the heaven scintillating with beauty
As I surrendered myself to the night sky
She blankets the sky with light
It outshines any star in the sky, so bright!

My heart throbbing with pure devotion

As she sets the rays
The world gradually stops its motion

Her elegance was forged in cosmos
Thus my mind was lost
Eyyy Everyone has their stars ;)
Richard Frank Jan 2019
Tigers were chasing
Then I saw a strawberry
It was delicious
Inspired by a zen story
Richard Frank Feb 2020
She was drawn to all useless pieces,
All the hideous parts of everything, she loved
It was mysterious, yet it made sense

That's why she loved me,
Because I'm also made of broken parts
Richard Frank Jan 2019
Drifting towards a doleful river of anguish and grief
So does the sky was agitated, rain was descending
But then I knew, buried deep in my soul,
Tears also continue to fall
It floods the world with  my misery
The flood came crashing like waves, I was helpless,
So I drowned

If my time has come to an end, make a million tombstone
For I died a million times
A poem about pain
Richard Frank Jan 2019
It was said that we're all the same
Came from the same dust,
From the same collapsing star
But truth shines brighter than that of star
We were not all same
It's clear that you love that guy better than me
And its because we were not the same
A first short poem about sadness
Richard Frank Feb 2020
I look upon the other side of the world,
And I can still see you

In the darkest shades of the nights
Within the seven continents and the seven seas
Inside the busy streets and the dead cities
Even if my sight is fading into grey
I can still see you

But when I look at you directly in the eyes
It's like you're not even there
Richard Frank Jul 2019
I left my words in a hidden valley
Suppressed and forgotten
Contained inside my head
They were unable to find their way out

I left it there and wandered somewhere far away
I desired something and longed for it
After pursuing it, seemingly I got lost
Not knowing where I wanted to go

I turned back, I found myself back in that valley
Back in that valley where my words lie
It was the words that I hold dearly and cherish thoroughly
What I was looking for was here all along
Back to writing poems :)
