Tien - Tim - Hello Poetry

Hidden words,
Buried within.
Unseen feelings,
Blindfolded by circumstances.
I'm captivated by your eyes,
Now you got me held hostage.
Beauty is what you define,
And anyone would cosign.
I got you on my mind like tunnel vision,
No one else in sight like my peripherals are gone.
I'm blindsided now,
Everything else is out of focus.
Just you on my mind frame,
No words can be found to explain,
But I know that this picture is worth more a thousand words.

They say the realest things are felt, not seen; so that's why I chose to title it "Blind Words."

Puzzling Piece

Silent cries,
Sad smiles,
With closed eyes,
She shuts herself from the world.
Always hiding behind a wall...
Friends ask me why do I bother?
What is it that I see?
I would tell them a broken girl,
They find it puzzling.
But I found my missing piece,
One that completes me,
The last piece that binds me together.
It's hard to accept,
But I have no regrets.
I'm looking for change,
But she's the only one that makes sense,
Because behind those walls I see a castle...

I felt Puzzling Piece was a good choice of play on.
I wrote this poem because most people have a mentality of shunning away from people that are depressed and pessimistic. To some extent it is true that those people can only bring you down and lower your confidence and self esteem. However, they can also build your character in strengthening your will and faith. Not only that, but to be able to change their perspective on life is a reward in itself. So yes negative people can bring you down, but only if you allow it. Your mind is own.

Dealt Hands

They say love's a gamble,
Make the best out of the hands that you were dealt.
I got no ace up my sleeves,
But I'll call all bets,
Even go all in,
Because she makes cents.
My hand look straight,
But I would still flush it.
Even though I won't have Jack,
I feel like a King with her in my hands,
Because she's the Queen with the heart.
They say:
Real eyes,
Realize,
Real Lies.
So don't bother calling out my bluff.
There's no need for any other fishes,
That's a kids game, so go fish....

Poker terminology used as Puns: Straight, Flush, Call, All-In, Bluff

Difficult Roles

Thinking about that smile on your face,
The one that sends my mind into space.
A feeling so foreign,
As if I'm weightless.
So drawn in as I float towards you,
Like a moth dancing towards a flame.
I knew from the start that our parts were hard to play,
But like Romeo n Juliet, we were meant to play these parts.
Even though we tore each other down,
Crashing and burn.
But also we build each other up,
Laughing and learn.
I know that we are not perfect,
But I knew that you were worth it...

Last Dance?

Let's break each other free from our past,
So we can look forward instead of back.
I'm not trying to steal your heart,
So you don't have to stay on guard.
If you let all your emotions un-bottle,
I Promise there won't be any bad side effects.
But if you happen to fall,
Then I'll bring colors to your world.
Then we can enjoy it like spring,
We're mature so it won't be past tense.
Just take a chance,
Let's have this dance,
Never know it may be the last....

The line "We're mature so it won't be past tense" is used as a pun as past tense of spring is sprung (To fall heads over heels), at the same time it is saying that it won't be like the past.

Moon and Sun

Your beauty is not obscure,
No need to feel insecure.
Because you're the winner whenever my heart race,
You got me lost within your love without a trace.
There's no doubt about it I ensure,
You can have my heart to be insured.
Trust that your heart won’t be misplaced,
What you'll fall into is to be embraced.
So drop those make up products and cream,
Cause your natural beauty is surreal like a dream.
It's your soul that highlights your beauty.
So when you look at yourself in the mirror know that you make me happy,
Because you are the reflection of my happiness,
Like the moon to the sun,
I can't shine unless you shine...

Broken Frame

You may have left,
But my heart followed.
Now I'm falling apart,
With memories eating at my heart.
Got me hiding behind a smile in the day,
The sun shines just to cast a shadow.
Shedding tears reminiscing in the night,
At least the dark night will cover up my sorrow.
The cause of this pain is specific,
Thought our love and future were prolific,
Now I'm just a broken frame holding a picture...

I chose to title broken frame because it is so simple yet so deep. A frame holds memories, even though the glasses will shatters when it drops, the frame can hold onto the picture still.
