Sea

Sea
I want to be,
Wild
Beautiful
And Free
Just like the sea
SummertimeLace Apr 2015
Shall I compare thee to a winter’s day?
Thou art more cold and more desolate
Icicles **** springs bountiful bouquet
While winter delivers life a foul fate

Sometimes only by fluke warmth will wave by
And often melts the bitter cold away
And every snowflake that falls will melt; die
Either now or sometime far it will lay

But your never ending frost shall not fade
Nor ever lose the stone heart in your chest
Nor shall your ignorant soul accept aid
When your bigot mind never sees what’s best

So long as winter is harsh and clear to see
This will remind of the coldness in thee

God has been in and out of my life
Like the tides on a beach

I've experienced feelings of loneliness
Like the dry sand spells that find their way to the sea

But there has always been a part of me
that senses his presence
Like a salty ocean breeze
that ruffles the fruitless, dry sand

Without God
My life wouldn't exist
Like how a beach would be a desert
without the ever-roaring sea

With God
My life is alive
But not only is it alive
It is free

Through wrenched storm
and delightful sun
God will always be a part of me because
In covinent we are one
and he loves me
like the sand
is to the sea
Shy
SummertimeLace Aug 2016
Shy
I sit there in silence
and glance...
But only if I dare!
because your presence alone
awakens every hair

What I wouldn't give
to flash you a smile
and be able to just sit
and converse with you awhile

back in reality
I'm still in my seat
breathing faster now
clamy hands tingling feet

close and open
go my eyes
is this real life!?
Why are mind and body
in such strife!!

you get up and leave
my soul sings a sigh
I should have said hello
wasn't ready for good bye
SummertimeLace May 2015
Flowers lift their heads
To look at your lovely face
Yellow is this day!
I just wanted to try something new :)

I love the feeling
Of a fresh cut

The feeling is freeing
shiny and distracting

Your head feels light
and your mind, fuzzy as a feather

The feeling lasts only for a blissful wink of time
and brings you tears and laughter

And when it fades
Collect your money and return to the salon

Taking walks. Daydreaming. Stickers. School Spirit. My friends. Living in a small town. Japan. Singing. Painting my toenails. Pranks/ practical jokes. Painting. Stretch canvas. Costumes. Dipping my fingers in melted wax. Style. Soda. Spending an hour typing at a coffee shop. Musicals. Back to school season. Mopeds. Good hair days. Naps. Not walking up but looking at a beautiful staircase. being alone. My ankles. Playlists. Spending entire days in pajamas. Holidays. Telling stories. Spontaneity. Theme parks. Bookshelves. The word copacetic. Boxes. Empty journals. Surprises. Doing things in groups. Doing things alone. Getting real mail. Decorating. Small forks. A good hug. Gift cards. New Years Goals. Going out to dinner. When someone else remembers some great story about me/us that I’ve forgotten. Toy stores. Fireplaces. Breakfast foods. Journaling. Crying for a good reason. Doorbells. Pointless adventures. My birthday. Reasons to make wishes
Not really a poem but thought it would be fun to share and might bring another a glimmer of happiness. :b

Behold my eye
See what I see
Age is lovely
According to me

Wrinkles like road maps of where i've been
Crow’s feet of joy
And frown lines of sorrow

Spots of warm summers
Long past
Stuck on my face
From the ancient sun
That sets in the West

My voice
Past its time
Telling stories of my prime
When my beauty was clear to see
And people didn't have pity on me

Now that I'm old
And hunched and grey
Look beyond my face
Where my true beauty lay
From her point of view inspired by a  conversation I had with her before she died

Sometimes
It's just nice
To sit
Alone
And idle
Observe life
And catch up with your soul
SummertimeLace Mar 2015
The monitor is steady
But your soul still waivers

Gently I plant
a Kiss
On the apple of your cheek

Sincerely I wish
You would just speak
I cant bear to watch you wither and weak

Please!
Don’t go!
Don’t leave me here alone!

The monitor went flat
Now I sit here in woe

My Darling
Come with me
into my arms
and you will see
I’m thinking about
You and me

We’ve grown apart
over the years
And to tell you the truth
it’s driving me to tears

Come into my arms
Where you need to be
So we can think
Just you and me
SummertimeLace Feb 2017
Don't be scared to look my way
Even though somehow,
I'm afraid to look yours

please try to talk to me
Even though every time you get close to me
I end up tongue tied

Ask me questions
Even if my answer is weird

Pull as I push away

Scale the wall
Built around my heart

Love me enough
To chase me
To catch me
Even if I run away

Soon
I promise you
I will look your way
I will smile at you
I will even talk to you

If you ever catch me
Pull me
And I will follow

I didn't want to fall in love
Or need someone
I really didn't want anything.
But then you appeared
And I started wanting everything
SummertimeLace Apr 2015
We hobo’s
Hundreds in Seattle
We real poor. We
cardboard cave. We
always brave. We
scrape survive. We
stay alive. We
slump by. We
sing a sigh
SummertimeLace Oct 2015
When I look at you
My heart softens
And a smile
cracks upon my lips

Your face
Sweet as Jasmine bloom

Your hand and heart
They make me swoon

Your spirit
Pure and white like snow

And Your gleam
Oh your gleam!
is a star studded dream

When I look at you
My heart softens
And a smile
cracks upon my lips

I am from Ice Breakers mints
From pigtails and books
I am from my backyard
(Where the cool morning dew sparkles like
stars and anything is possible)
I am from golden pastures
And quietly grazing cows that I had to say goodbye to
When the leaves turned brown

I am from hot tuna casserole and playing pretend
From Pasture Robert Morris and the Hobart store
I’m from the do it yourselfer’s
And will work for food
I’m from elbow grease and hard heads
I’m from All In His Hands
The Blood of the Lamb
And John 3:16

I am from the neighbor and family friends
Crock *** stew and fresh slaughtered cow
From the arthritic hands of my great aunty Evelyn
that always help another
And the cane of my papa
that stole his independence and his youth

I am from our small country house
Because that’s where I grew
With clothes on my back
Food in my belly
And a loving family
that are always there for me

That is
Where I come from
SummertimeLace Feb 2015
I am
In a way
like the wind

I come
and I go
staying for a while
or just passing through

I am soft-hearted
as well as head-strong

Soothing
like a warm gentle breeze
Or violent
like a hurricane blowing down trees

So please
understand
that who I am
is not one
but a little bit of
everything

i wish you didn't
fade away
like a july
midsummers day

hazy
hot
pleasant
and dear

it turned cold
within a year

smiles and joy
of which
we used to toy
faded away

like a july
midsummers day

You
SummertimeLace Feb 2015
You
I hear you in my thoughts
I hear you in my dreams
That giddy laugh of yours
is everywhere it seems
Then when I turn
and reach for your smile
I find nothing
and all i can do is cry
What i wouldnt give
to lay with you awhile
and drink in
That beautiful smile
that even in death
never seems to die
