Poets will proffer a word creation
Pictures on the page of mankind*  
Pouring forth imagination
Past greats all of literary rind

Over centuries till to-day
Our world reading from quills divine
Of the art in a mind's thought clay
Opus after opus gold to mine

Verse of romance lovers embrace
Verily spring's bloom tis beautiful
Victory won on the battle-front's face
Vying for lands e'er plentiful

Every composition a story
Each wordsmith of singular hand
Etching a mark throughout history
*Ergo the masterpiece so grand

If your sky is grey
let me paint it blue,
if you need love
I’ll love you.

If your heart is broken
I’ll wrap you in my wings,
I’ll sing a sweet song
reassurance it will bring.

If you need a friend
I’m always there,
I’ll pick the stars
and place them in your hair.

When you feel alone
don’t be afraid to call,
for I’ll always catch you
if you stumble and fall.

If you’re sad and blue
just remember,
I’m your friend
I’ll always love you!
Suddenly, like a summer rain
You're falling ceaselessly
On my eyes
I think so
In the courtyard of my mind
You came so long ago.

The fire of separation of you
is burning hard
In my heart,
I think so
In the courtyard of my mind
You came so long ago.

When I feel hurt from your hate
Make me forget them
Memories of your love
I think so
In the courtyard of my mind
You came so long ago.

I'm ruined forever
But I still smile
And always will
I think so
In the courtyard of my mind
You came so long ago.

I am too alone today
But I'm still happy
With tender feelings
I think so
In the courtyard of my mind
You came so long ago.
Where do you live?
Hello, are you dead?
How about you?
Yes, everything
I am dreaming.

Your writing is perfect
Oh my sweetheart
You are so smart
I love you sweet.
And I'm an artist.

A little bit sad today?
It's ok sometimes
to feel a little sad,
I'm not sad today
My sweet friend.

Your last poem is magic
It's beautiful that
You're obsessed
with the moon
I love you, poet.

Eh, I can't see your looks!
Nah, It's time to read books.
No school anymore
Because I'm rich lol...

Sleep with me?
         Love me, babe!
Cooldown please,
We are still friends...
Emotional?
If you looked in the corners,
You'd find her right there,
Hidden by darkness,
And the curls in her hair,
Her nose in a book,
With her head in the clouds,
Hidden her feelings,
Away from the crowds,
If you sat by her side,
While the world passed you by,
She'd tell you the story,
Behind the pain in her eyes,
If you gave her five minutes,
You'd see how her smile,
Makes even the bad things
In life seem worthwhile,
But you don't look in corners,
You don't even glance,
So she sits there still waiting,
To be given a chance.
