Nuna - Hello Poetry

Nuna Apr 2018

as you walked into my life
I welcomed you
arms wide open
completely unarmed
fully aware of heartbreak
giving you the power
to break this fragile heart I've been carrying

it's funny how I had lost the will
to ever fall in love again
didn't even know where to start
but as you showed up
you untied me from my sorrow
you watered my heart, helped it grow
told me my beauty could make men go to war for
my smile is to die for

you're the colour of the sky at sunset
you're the feeling when the lights go down at a concert
your smile is cure
I could write songs about your eyes
you told me you loved me
I forgot how to breathe
I have fallen in love with your mind
your soul is precious I want to keep it in a safe
buried deep down my heart
for as long as I'm alive
I will never let go

you know to never tie me down
you let me be as free as a bird
,,say I'm a bird
now say you're a bird too''

our souls were made for each other
dear lover,
I am truly, madly, deeply
thankful for your existence
no matter the distance,
I will fearlessly fight through the miles between us
I know we were made for each other
I know our souls will grow old together

you're worth the wait

thank you for helping me glue back the pieces of my heart
thank you for being alive
thank you for loving me

to my ex lover

the first time I told you I liked you
was the first time I ever lied to you
I always knew I loved you

liking seemed less dramatic
less problematic
you might have liked me too
at one point

but I loved with all my heart and soul and everything I had
I never wanted to stop
I never knew I could
I used to always be the one
to set myself on fire
for you
to light the way
while I was the one stumbling in the dark

it's safe to say that you were the one
the love that teaches you what love does to you
to your heart and soul
I haven't been the same ever since
I am a completely new person
thank you
for whatever it was between us
you shattered my heart in pieces
but I picked them up, saved them in a jar
now I'm glueing it back together
with someone else

I know you never meant to hurt me

comfort

in silence we find comfort
yet we also find ourselves
in the middle of the night
when everybody is asleep
face pressed to the pillow, screaming
in silence

where is the comfort in that?

you're in my veins

not forever
but for as long as you're alive
don't forget about me

remember me for who I was
remember us
for who we used to be

I know for sure
I will not forget you
I couldn't, even if I tried
you're in my veins

#forever

reminiscing//promises

when we left, we promised it wasn't the end
too many ups and downs
we got through them together
broken hearts, sensitive souls
we filled them with laughter and happiness

theres no one to blame
take a minute,look around
we're all in the same game

we were too busy growing up
we didn’t  realise
we were growing apart, too

(some things about you I've been dreaming about;
the blue in your eyes, your curls
your arrogance, your scent
the way we'd argue
and I'd let you win
I'd get angry with you and stop calling
the next day I miss you
can't help, its true
you hated that I'd often come over
borrow your things just to keep them
I still have them, by the way)

you knew how much I hated that town
I hated you too, for leaving first
I wonder where you are now
whether you've found yourself
it's ok if you haven't
I haven't either

we were just kids when we met
we promised we'd never part
we were better together
we promised we'd visit
we promised we'd call and write
I never did
life got in the way
I hope you find it within you to forgive me
maybe when you're around
we could go by the river
drink cold beer and reminisce

a poem from the future

a simple message

many think they can talk
they talk like they're to decide
whose body is more suitable for that dress
whose ******* look best
I feel heavy in my chest

I'm here to protest

against anyone thinking they have a say
in my home, my body
my secret garden, my skin
the flowers growing in it
remember that -
my tongue is a gun and apparently, I don't even need a permit

remember this -
my body is not yours to judge
my body is mine to grow
my body is not yours to like
my body is mine to love
this is a fight I will not let you miss,
if you dare speak one more time
about whats mine

they say I'm irresponsible

I might misplace my keys from time to time,
I'll forget to buy milk and do the laundry,
my mother calls me irresponsible
cannot blame her, she doesn't understand;
my mind is busy
analyzing peoples lips when they talk, the way they smile
or when they walk
observe their fingers as they hold on to something
do they hold it tightly? does the way they hold it influence their need for it?
I like to study peoples eyes the most
when they laugh
when they cry
when they talk or just listen
the glory is each individual eye and the way the color changes in sunlight
I'm sorry I forgot your birthday
the names of the movies we watched
I didn't mean to ignore your calls, i promised I'd call back
I will
