Together, we walk through the red midnight,
soaking our hearts in each other's tears,
releasing our fears into the starlit sky,
wishing them away, one by one, into the dusk.

Together, we ride upon the fluorescent moon,
indulging in each other's madness,
feeding each other the sanity we crave,
and closing the wounds that only love can heal.

Together, we dance in the amber rain,
purifying our souls and washing the pain away,
renewing ourselves and unleashing our hearts from their cocoons.

Together, we glide with the innocence of angels
tasting perpetual serenity.

Together, we hold time in our hands,
and crush it gently until the pieces blow away.

Together...we share tonight.
This is another poem I wrote when I was 17 that is very special to me!
Kerri May 2015
She's so ******* amazing and beautiful in every way
I couldn't imagine if we grew closer
She's my sunshine and my rain,
but I just can't afford the rain right now
She knows the power she has over me
and is taking full advantage


Will I ever be redeemed from these ashes?
I have faith even though it's shaky at times
but I'm tired of showing her all of my weaknesses, it drains me
She still has my heart and seems to crush it daily
I was used, until she felt whole again

My sunshine has been stolen
it's all tainted now
The emotional love has been severed.
But, I need you to know I don't resent you
This poem was written by taking a line from 13 separate journal entries I had written over a span of 5  years.  I chose a line and flipped to the next entry and chose another line to add below it. So this is what the result is: A Mash-Up Poem!
Kerri Jul 2015
The sweet, toxic smell of her perfume
like poisonous berries
seeps through my veins,
saturates my heart,
and floats in my memory,
like that last sip of wine
before the haze.
Rocking my inner being
and tickling my carnal sensations,
until my body is as awake
as my soul is.
Cradled in her lingering scent
until it wafts away as she does,
leaving me lifeless on the floor.
Kerri Nov 2016
Just as
The worth
of an
Undiscovered gem
Still exists,
She's a hidden beauty.
Like
the inside
of a wave
that curls
Shyly,
Wrapping itself
in it's
Magnificent
Turquoise walls;
It's strong
before it crashes,
then tumbles
into it's desires.
Not many see or appreciate it,
But those who
Dare to brave
the
Wild swirl
of wonder,
Are left with Fascination
And Dreamy eyes.
Kerri Aug 2016
She's a messy lover.
She's most beautiful
in wrinkled sheets
and unmade beds.
With tangled hair,
chapped lips,
and confidence,
she draws you close.
She's a slow kisser.
She savors
every breath
you draw from each other,
until you're
living inside of her
and her inside of you.
She's the painting
that was never finished,
but is somehow
a ******* masterpiece.
She's a puzzle
that you'll never figure out,
and for that
you'll only desire her more.
She will
tame you with her charm,
frighten you with her truth,
and
make you fall in love with her,
because
you will never find a woman
as
simply complex
as her...
Kerri Nov 2015
Uninhibited by her
Brilliant pain,
She swims through
Her tears,
A sparkling River
Of life and madness.
Kerri Apr 2017
Slither into the sea
Inhale
The top of a mountain
To swallow,
Sorrowful dusk
Butterfly floats
Heaven is shiny deep
I'd fly if I drown
Kerri Oct 2017
I'll Stand
on my tiptoes  
Atop
Of a mountain
To steal the moon
And
Make the world go dark
To light up your eyes

I'll clutch the
cold, soft
earth
In my fist
And sprinkle it
Beneath
Your bare feet
For you
To walk on

I'll pluck the wind
And lock it up
In a mason jar
And pour you
A glass
For the moments
That take your breath away

And if any of these shall ever
Run out,
I will LOVE you back to life
With
Kisses
dreams
And truth.
Kerri Oct 2016
Some people
Love you
For the way
You make
Them feel
About themselves.

I just simply love you.
There's a difference in these types of LOVE.
Kerri Jun 2016
Standing near you
Leaves me breathless.
You lean in
And I'm
Intoxicated
By your energy,
A fiery aura
That draws back
Its bow and
Pierces my soul
With its
Dream-laced
Arrows.
Kerri Jun 20
Beautiful souls with a pastel glow,
That leave a trail of hearts wherever they go.
Ink-splashed words
That mean more than they say,
Black and white photos
Of those that couldn’t stay.
Lyrics that warm you like
a stoked winter’s fire,
The world’s finest artwork
willing to inspire.
Kerri Jul 2015
A horrid jealousy invades my heart
because I can't accept the harsh reality
that I am not yours,
A flood of tears sweeps my outer soul
and I recognize my non-existence
as the razor is pushed deeper;
inserted directly into
my soft, tangle of emotions.
You hang my heart on a leash
and drag it on the ground.
But why do you lead me on?
only to melt sugar in the rain,
Look at you...
knotting my stomach
and withering my soul.
Why can't I let go?
Maybe if I cared more
about myself than I do you.
But I don't.
Another one of my intense high school creations!
Kerri Jun 20
Running wildly up
The mountain side
Straight up to the stars
Skipping on galaxies
And soaking up moon beams

Collapsing dreamily onto
Cloud Nine
Floating through
The hazy remnants of
Our life before each other

Twirling clumsily
Into a sequin dotted sky
Holding onto
One another
As our hearts beat fast
Until they’re melded into one

Your passion is
Strength for my body

and

Your love is
Sustenance for my soul.
Kerri Nov 2015
A sea of rain
And a dark
Black mass
Covers the world;
A drunken eye
Sees it all;
But the heart
Forgets
As the cold
Gray pellets
Destroy it all
And we don't
Realize
Until we're
Swept away.
I ponder the world and its current conditions.
Kerri Oct 2016
The time
I felt
Most like a woman,
I was wearing
A push-up bra
With your head
Between
my thighs...
Kerri Jun 2015
Jumbled heart
euphoric glow
nirvana at it's finest
never letting go.
Intrigued by your story
fascinated by your hunger
enchanted by your gift
renewed by your wonder.
Kerri Jul 2017
Engulfed in fear
She stood before me
Shedding off
The ragged gown
Of her childhood
That weighed her down
For 20 years

Embracing the thrill
She flew into me
Revealing
Her naked scars
and truths
That somehow
Made her shine
More beautifully.

Reaching the
Deepest place
That we had ever been,
Our tiptoes grazing
The blazing fire
That simultaneously
Sparked our
Bodies and our minds.

A universal understanding
That we've finally
Made it here together,
Hearts dripping
like
hot metal,
Synchronized souls
No longer lost in between
The swings of
The pendulum.
Kerri Aug 2018
I want you to be
My E V E R Y T H I N G
But if I can’t have that,
Will you at least
Be my escape
Every now and then?
Kerri Nov 2015
Let me live in the sky,
among the marshmallow clouds,    
Departing from
this nocturnal nightmare
where my innocence
is disgraced.
Kerri Nov 2015
Your eyes burn right
              Through
                         My heart.
Until the Ashes blow away.
Kerri Apr 2016
You roped me into
Your world,
Filled with wondrous skies
And warmth,
Then tied me to a post,
To lull and wait for
Your return.
Kerri Apr 2016
The cold locket
She gave you
Slipped from your neck
Falling between
Your bare *******
And down past
Your broken heart

You hugged
Your knees
That they might
Save you
And hold you
Together
For just a
Little while

Staring at your
Reflection
In the
Lukewarm water
That stagnated
At your thighs,
A white
Porcelain refuge
Surrounded by
Moldy tiles
Was your solace

The salty leakage
From your
Forest eyes
Fell faster
Than the
Squeaky faucet
That never stopped
D R I P P I N G

The cool
Air grazed
Your spine
And sent
A peppered
Patch of
Chill bumps
Down your arms,
But you
Didn't seem
To mind

All you
Could feel
Was the
Broken pieces
Of your heart,
S c a t t e r e d
In the water
Slicing your body
Like tiny
Razor blades
By their
Jagged, Uneven
Edges

With one
Flip of
Your toe
You whispered
Goodbye,
As the necklace
That she
Gave you
And the
Pieces of
Your heart
That she
Took from you
Slid down
The drain,
Into the
Place Where
Broken Hearts Go.
A story of the place where most girls go to deal with their broken hearts: A good cry in the bath tub.
Kerri Jun 2015
Glossy green waving in the wind
revealing a rainbow painting
and remarkable intrusions
like a plasma dream

A feathery grey is highlighted
with wisps of dusty orange
while a rain scented breeze grazes my body
like a fresh start

A silence is found
after the whispers of the storm
shooting through the atmosphere
like invisible arrows all around

Reminding us of Nature's power
as we soak in the quiet destruction
and the beautiful essence
that we can't help but feebly admire
Kerri Mar 2016
A lump of eminence
Swells in her throat,
But she swallows it down
Flashing a shiny, humble smile.
This wild dandelion grows in the sun
and dances to the beat of the wind,
Scattering seeds of peace
And songs of love
In every corner of the world.
She floats among the stars
Crashing perfectly into
Every illustrious constellation.
As she shakes the stardust from her hair
And dusts her glitter-speckled shoulders,
She reaps the benefit
Of her selfless, meaningful offerings.
Written for someone special that deserves everything that the Universe is handing her.
Kerri Nov 2015
I know I'm
just a flower
in your garden
of admirers.

But I hope
you see
the difference
     between
a Wildflower and a Rose.
Although there are  more wildflowers than there are roses, everyone wants the beautiful, elegant rose. Whereas different types of wildflowers have their own unique characteristics...and most importantly GROW FREELY.
