He wants to say I love you
but keeps it to goodnight
because love will mean some falling
and she's afraid of heights.

-R.I.D.

And if the world were black and white,
you would be my rainbow in shades of grey.

Those
gloomy
eyes that
occasionally
showed
wavering
reflections
of city
lights

were like
the ocean
at night

and against
all reason

they
instantly
drew
me in

She always wondered
    if loving you was wrong or right

These thoughts of you filled her head
     only on her darkest night

Like the ocean, you had stolen
     all her precious thoughts

Leaving her conscious
     in a mindless drought

Keep your doors wide open
And your windows shut tight

Welcome to society,
I hope you enjoy your stay.
And please feel free to be yourself,
as long as its the right way.
Make sure to love your body.
Not too much or we'll tear it down.
We'll bully you for smiling.
And then wonder why you frown.
We'll tell you that you're worthless.
That you shouldn't make a sound.
And then cry with all the others,
as you're buried in the ground.
You can fall in love with anybody,
As long if it is who WE choose.
And we'll let you have your opinions.
But please shape them to OUR views.
Welcome to society.
We promise we wont deceive.
And one more rule, now that you're here,
There is no way you can leave.

I have followers
I love them
I'm sure their amazing
I may not know them personally
But their poems are worth praising

They take their time to write and read
All these mesmerizing poems I see

So I appreciate these strangers and poets
who take their time to share
all their wonderful inspiration
and put it into words with care.

She couldn't understand why people wasted their time being in love
She had plenty of other things she could do with her time

He couldn't understand how people couldn't waste some time being in love
He didn't have many things to do with his time

How can you waste your time doing such silly things? She said
How can you not? He replied
Falling in love, spending time with that person, your time is thrown away to the wind. She couldn't understand
That wind flies it to it's Timekeeper. He understood

I don't have a timekeeper. A hint of animosity in her voice
I don't have any time. A hint of hint of intimation in his voice

It's most terrifying seeing the Happy go Lucky become serious.

There's no Blessing
And No Love
Only a Contract named "Matrimony"

What if everything had a roundabout exit
Another choice yet to make
The easy way out
Like a dense forest with a shortcut
Would you take it?

Say you love me A thousand times
     I'd still doubt

I am the word hypocrite
In human form

I tell others to be strong
and yet I still mourn

"There's light at the end of the tunnel"
    I say

While they move towards
I can only stay

My legs like stone
my heart, a castle

Hypocrite in human form
My being remains a daily hassle

I open my eyes to a whole new world
I open my senses to all new things
For today is the day of my birth
The day I become part of this Earth

Time flew by fast
Day by Day
I tried to make my way
A Naive child I was

School years hasten as I hit Elementary
Always picked last on the team
Picked last for almost everything
Picked last for the friends
Picked last, it never ends
For no one wanted a Naive child like me

I dare say that everyone was on my side
After all,
deep down I knew I was wrong

Middle school was no easier
than the previous years
Seeing I no longer could be Naive
Nobody wanted to be acquaintances
with the likes of me.
A Naive child such as me has learned to mature and face reality

For no thought in my head of what was wrong with me
What reason did they have to despise only I?
For myself attained only a few friends
In which I lost and gained through those privileged years

High school came around
Those details require no story
For Highschool was just the same
as they have also left me confused.
A Naive Child like me, confused .

Time passed
My Life hastened
I met lovers and non lovers
Liars and Truthers
For what did a Naive child like me have give

If you may ask
Yes there were those whom loved me
And never left my eyes
Childhood friends
And A Lover by my side
Those childhood years taught me that in this world
There wouldn't be enough room for a Naive Child, like me
I laugh and push through the crowd
For as I know, there was never enough room
for Judger's  like them

The day has come
For this is my end
this story must close
I rest on my deathbed
In this world I've loved since Birth
For today is the day of my death
The day I leave  my  role on this Earth

This is not a love poem
Nor is it a hate
But it isn't quiet sorrowful
And no, it's not about fate

Just a poem about a simple girl
And the decision she had made
To leave behind the real world
And in her fantasy world, She would stay

Her eyes were made of stars
Her voice, The galaxies
She could be light and frolicsome
In her world of beautiful things

So here she stayed in her make believe play
And here in her own world, is where she would stay.

I don't know you
   But I cried at your funeral

The thin threads search in the dark

The thin threads search for one another to entwine with

These thin threads binding their victims forcefully

Realism and Escapism paste over your mind

Now it's time to fall in love

I feel as if I know you
     when I look into your eyes

As if we had met once
     in our previous lives

I determine someone
By asking a question to myself
I'd smile with you, but would I laugh with you?
I'll follow you, but would I chase you?
I want you, but do I need you?
I love you, but will it *last?

"Hurt" , a word that is Past, Present, and Future

You will be Hurt

You are Hurt

You were Hurt

Why? Because if something truly hurt , It never really stops.

Hide your feelings in a Glass Jar
Send them through the Ocean ,
to prevent more Scars

For these feelings you hid away
Only brought you pain each day

So Darling hear me out
Let those emotions sail away
And let new feelings begin to sprout

Anticipation
Motivation
Amazement
Impatient
Expectations
Adrenali­ne Drainage

All the things I seem to feel.

Wait, did I take my Medication?

There is someone
who will protect me

Someone who will stay by my side
without lies...



...Can I believe that?

I'll try my hardest
to live a happy life

I'll try my hardest
to not deceive myself

Maybe someday things will turn out
for the best

I'll do my best

So, someday
We'll become friends again.

You gave me a helping hand
into deaths sweet embrace

The happiness of people
is such a fickle thing

Concealing in a corner
      Pressed up against the wall
      can they even see me
      do they know I'm here at all?

I never got the book
        to tell me who to be
        what to say and mimic
        like everyone else I see

As a flower I will wilt
        longing for the sun
        deprived of the cold water      
         hoping to be someone

Demons, Demons
Rescue me
I'm twisting into something I wish not to be

Angels, Angels
Cloak me in White
Hurry, Send down your Bravest Knight

Change me from this distorted Fate  
Adjust this path before its too Late

For now I am lost , too lost to roam
Life twisted in unexpected turns
And the Stars in my eyes, are no longer shown

Demons, Demons
I've twisted into something I wish not to be

Angels, Angels
Hurry, *Come Save me

It had been awhile
since we opened that rooms door
up the stairs
and down the hall

I hadn't wanted to go in there
or see what it had become
or even if it stayed the same

Because I knew if I did
the terrible memories would flow out
along with the small speckle of good ones
here and there

But when my mother and I
opened that room

Light came flowing out of it
through the open window
across from us
and the sun
shone through
and brought
only daylight
through the room
up the stairs
and down the hall

If you can understand my poems
I'm sure you can understand me
Because everything I can't say for those to hear
I write for others to read.

My Darling
My Savior
My Knight in white armor

My once upon a time Lover
My Life
My Sweet  Addiction

How I long for our lips to come in tact
How I dream of the day you are mine
The day you'll find the girl you left behind

You'll walk along her path
Her sweet embrace you long for
Her arms entwined in yours
But now she is far to gone
Your outstretched arms are only entwined by fate
And now she is on her way
The day you'll find the girl whom left you behind

Your Darling
Your Savior
Your Princess in white

Your once upon a time Lover
Your Life
My Once Sweet Addiction

On that illuminating night,
They realized their feelings of love

Perhaps I don't hate you for changing
And leaving your old shell
Maybe, just perhaps I'm jealous
that I'm the girl, who couldn't change herself.

The states and the races are all jumbled together
Territory changes from hand to hand;
Mankind stirs up strife again and again.

He never looked into her eyes
He never knew how she felt
He could only try to understand
The pain her heart had dealt

Don't cry my darling
My small little child
You're not the only one
There is probably another
child like you who is
upset because they feel
nobody sees them.

Become the person
who recognizes that
other child.

I'd gladly fall in love with you
But lets keep it to goodbye
Because loving means some falling
and I'm afraid of heights

He learned the
Sorrowful feel
of parting in
the words
"see you tomorrow"

And the
speed of her
beating
pulse

I


see


the


Monster


inside


your


*Soul

Unrequited love for these three
torturous years of my life

Run your fingers down my spine
Make me feel like I'm alive

Close the curtains
Lock the doors

Stay with my Forevermore

Once upon a time
I told you all I felt inside
The little sacred bits
That from the world I'd hide

You used them as your weapons
And only then I'd learn
The less I'd come to tell you
The lesser I would hurt

There are things I'll never tell you
Such is sad to say so
The more you come to know me
The lesser you will know

So lets take our time to come to
And realize our judgments pending
And just maybe when it's over
we'll have our Happy Ending
