Steal your heart <3
I'm paralyzed with thoughts,
my tongue tied in knots.
I'm hot from head to toe,
to be with you is all I know.
With all these feelings locked inside,
they can't be stopped I know I've tried.
You came as a surprise,
now it's love seen through my eyes.
Please tell me how you feel
let it be your heart I steal.

My Change
The old black and white photo was taken
the day my life had changed forever.
It was a humid morning in July.
My hair had sprung into tight silky curls.
I was standing in the sun. Hands on hips, with a self possessed grin.
I was confident. Forward. Naive, and full of potential to be anything I wanted to be.

Motivation
Motivation is what carries us forward in life,
and sometimes our motivation will hit a road bump
and we'll be stranded without direction for a while
until our minds flip back to a reality where forward
is the only direction left to take.

Dear January,
You are a month of new beginnings.
You carry snow on your back and cannot
let go of the frustrating challenges you lay upon us.
You can be irritable at times but know how to
make up for the bad memories.
Your as bitter as black ice but as sweet as
the sparkling snow I mistake for sugar.
Promise me one thing, be sure to make each day
last, because soon enough you will disappear
behind another season. Behind another day.

Tragedy
Why do the most tragic things
happen to
the best and most unlikely people?
Is it simply because they are
too precious for this earth?
Or is it simply due to the inevitable
death we are forced to carry with us.

Insomnia
I'm left to think in my own bed
rock hard pillows beneath my head.
a mind so cold, a mind insane,
Heart beating fast like a rapid moving train.
I want to dream of a world, one I have yet to see
but once again insomnia has taken over me.

Lost Strangers
We are the strangers we were meant to be.
We are lost, we are cold, but never free.
How do we escape this dark unfriendly town,
streets they are so empty, streets they are so brown.
As we make our way through life,
we try to bury all the strife.
We turn around the bend, losing every good old friend
now we know we can't pretend that this moment is now the end.

At First Sight
A boy of such wonder,
you've ripped me from my dreams
my chest, it feels of thunder
with a hint of lightning beams.
Your image appears so strong,
Though I wish there was more to see
you are the tune to my favourite song
you leave me wild, young and free.

Every good love story
Every good love story starts with a friendship and it's usually like that for a while.

until every word that escapes their mouth feeds your infectious smile.

Then eventually someone questions where did they go wrong?

Aimlessly picking up the pieces to discover you were perfect for them all along.

Full Moon
The full moon follows me.
It glances by my window.
It awakens my room from the fragile
darkness, and helps me discover
the mysteries of every hidden corner
that surrounds me.

Two Friends Two Worlds
"The days your awake are the nights I’m a sleep.
Two different worlds with conversations I keep.
Best friends so we say at least for today
Hope the connection does not fade away.
We’re the same in some sorts and different in others,
some we have sisters some we have brothers.
So let this be a reminder that you make me happy,
on the days I feel sad and the days I feel yappy.
So Tomorrow we’ll talk,
and take pictures as we walk.
But all will be finished when Three strikes o’clock."

If pain demanded to be felt,

Many chapters end
Many chapters end with a far bigger plot twist
than what we intended to seek.
They will have many ups to make us feel euphoric
and many downs to make us feel weak.
Although some chapters can be long, others can be short
and we wish they could have gone on forever.
We'll miss many of the moments and words we sadly skipped
to see if the ending would bring us together.
Yet there's one thing to note, one thing to remember
that we'll only have so many chapters.
So we hope to god we've fulfilled our dreams
that will give us our happy ever afters.

Still Evenings
My thoughts come together while viewing the purple sky.
Gusts of wind rattle the cold windows I pass by.
Lights bleed through the trees from far over yonder
Cant help but explore the streets that leave me to wander.

The Initial M
I love love love you
yet I am not sure you love me too.
We're squished between rocks that always crumble and washed
onto shores with a distant view. I like the sky and you like the stars, so I like the stars, but you prefer mars over the rest of the universe because more is too much and loneliness is too little. There are split seconds when I know you need me and I need you, but there are also milliseconds when needing me is not enough...so you need another. At last I am trapped on a roller coaster of unsolved madness, and I don't know how to stop it. Why haven't you. Cause you are my day and night and you are my sky, my stars. I'm still empty yet your complete, you always will be. For you will never be beside, but within me.

Thoughts At Home #1
The feeling of being locked away
high on a shelf, with only the sounds of hopelessness through echoes.
I am lost.
When we are lost we fight to get home, but this home is no longer a home
its a prison.
One I only wish I had the strength to escape from.

Pleasant Impressions
I wish I could go bike riding with a girl,
I wish I knew how to ride a bike...
or how to perfectly apply lipstick in a way
that looked natural.
There's something about long hair and rural roads,
leaves ruffled along the dusted trail,
perfect petals proud in the wind.
I want it all.
That perfect song during a midnight wander,
the taste of fresh oxygen on my tongue.
The feeling of two eyes locked on mine
hands so soft, fingers unbelievably smooth.
I guess there's more that will come this way,
an imaginable feeling felt only today.
There were many shades of colour
Yet the best were in your eyes
Far better than the ocean,
Far brighter than the skies.
I know it sounds insane
Because they weren’t exactly green
But they strolled the streets of Spain
And saw more than they had ever seen.

Love
Love is all around us
We can give it
Receive it,
and Share It.
Love is a remedy
a remedy so sweet it can make us hallucinate,
and see wacky colours.
Whether love is from a friend, a family member, a pet, or a stranger,
love is love.
Sometimes we take love for granted and
we expect the best from that one special being.
But even though nobody is perfect, we should never underestimate the value of that person or thing.
Love Is A Happiness
A Sadness
A  Mystery…. left unsolved.
Love has changed our world in ways we could not imagine.
Love,
is our life.
Lets use it for greatness!
(Original Poem)

I saw a promise
I saw a promise
In a single stare
eyes whispering with certainty
a feeling we both could share.

My kind of love
My kind of love
is...
The kind of love that has no limits.
The kind of love that has no face.
The kind of love that shouldn’t take a lifetime to find
Nor should it be a race.
The kind of love that’s purely soul
The kind of love that will never get old
The kind of love I wish to win
The kind of love that is the happiest I’ve ever been.

I'll Follow You
She said Take me where the sun shines.
Where there aren't any roads to find our way home.
To a field with flowers of all different kinds
to a place that is free to roam.

A Letter To A Friend
As I write this now, I feel memories
rush back from the good old days.
The days when things came easily to us,
when we had not reached rock bottom.
We walked the earth like two careless spirits
looking for a new pathway home.
Now that we are separated,
all that keeps us close is a single letter.
A letter to a friend,
a letter to you.

Where is my peace?
How do I have peace,
when i’m falling to pieces?
Well, I find strength in nature, music and my dreams.
They seem to grab a part of me that has never been exposed.
They seem to knock some sense into my slow pulsing mind,
and by the end of the day I look back. I seek gratitude in the
moments where I never thought I would.
I have found peace.
I have found me.

I tend to enjoy the quiet
I tend to enjoy the quiet
I get so lost in the sound of my own thoughts that the world just seems to pause for the perfect amount of seconds.
May I need no more, no less.

When You Find The One
When you find the one,
let their voice blow through your hair like a blissful breeze
and let them paint pictures with their fingers on your back.
When you find the one,
your feet will feel lighter, but your chest will feel heavier.
yet you know that carrying all of those butterflies are worth it.
When you find the one,
You'll want to conquer ever battle, every bruise that leaves a mark on your skin, with them.
Your spirit will run wild in a sea of stars that only you two can explore.
You will feel more alive then you could have ever imagined.
Your eyes were once weak and nervous but now they're bold, alert and focused. They've found a reason, a purpose to keep staring.
When you find the one,
Never let them go. Never let a single day pass without them on your mind. Life moves way too fast, and they could be gone in the blink of an eye.

The moment I knew
There are moments when we’re talking face to face where I stare at you for a little bit longer and think to myself, how could I have been so lucky to find you?

At this moment,
And at this time in my life.

a poet with a poem
A poet with a poem purely made of glass
Holds on to it dearly as each day shall pass
Waiting for that moment to simply let it go
For the poem will only shatter onto the minds who wish to know.
Seeking life through another's eyes
be not how I wanted to live.
Let it be my eyes that others seek,
and the hope they intend to give.

Stories
Whenever I meet someone new I feel like I’m repeating the same story of my life, but every once in a blue moon I’ll meet someone who will make me want to tell my story in a way I never have before.
~Emma
To the person who decides to give me their heart

I promise I’ll take good care of it.

I may take it out for walks a few times a week

Share some of my deepest darkest secrets

Laugh uncontrollably when friends comes on tv

And say goodnight before I fall asleep

But most importantly

I’ll be sure to thank the person who gave me their heart to hold in the first place.

And love them unconditionally because they’re also looking after mine

And that’s more than I could ever ask for.

Moods
My mood tends to change drastically when I don’t know the cause
Wishing my mind could be at ease or something I could pause
But of course it isn’t that simple because life never is
It comes with endless stress and anxiety like a pesky pop quiz

Loneliness
Loneliness is a curse to me
It always comes back to haunt me when I really don’t want it to
I just don’t have the heart to handle it
And the saddest part is that
Nobody can save me from it but myself
