The Sun Sets and Falls for the Earth,
There are many like her
And only one like him.

He needs her to live..
And still she is ordinary.
Not even the brightest out there...

Warm, and so is he, through her.
Inviting life into his core,
Needing her light and spirit to thrive.  

But the Sun, still falls.  
Though not for him.
But because she does it on her own.
The second piece to "The Sun Sets and Falls for the Earth".
Lvice Aug 2017
If you wouldn't
Take the Sun for granted
Do not take Me for
Granted


But you forget
Who brings you Warmth
Don't you?..
Lvice Aug 2017
Flames flicker
Like they're dying
Yet they light the room
Can we take
Note of this please?
Do people
Become dim before they burn?
Before
They grow bright?

Thoughts
Lvice Aug 2017
Please                                  Do not stare
              Don't look at me
Please                       Do not reach for me
           Leave my hand be
Please                     Not this kind of love
          I don't want this
Please                    Just leave me
                  Please

Some people,
Are angelic. Graceful. Godly.
They are otherworldly
In their beauty

And others
They are hell and heaven
On Earth
Imperfect and rough
Around the edges
With witchcraft
Under their skin

Do not tell them
You love them
Even if you do
They do care,
But not about you.

Young
Boys and girls
Say they don't have a place
In this world.
Yet,
They were born into it
Without question.
Does the Earth
Ever wonder about
Its existence?
Or just
Live
And
Let
live

Brick and Martyer
Lvice Aug 2017
Do I remind you of your first
love?
When you look at my eyes do they shine like your last heartbreak?
Tell me, do you see me made of
bricks?
Understand that I started out soft, but as I cooled
I began to harden.

You look at me,
And I see the thick wood
Of bridges we burn for warmth.
We burn the bridges
We once seeked shelter under to get out of the rain,
We burn them
But we called them home.

You call me home,
And I am made of bricks.
Why do I build you up,
When I am already safety?
I give to you
What I am myself.
You call me home,
But skin can never
Be cement and glass.

Jealous of Nothing
Lvice Aug 2017
I don't have to
Prove anything to anyone
Because
The truth is still the truth
No matter who believes
The lies
You think you're clever XD
Sorry to be right,
Except not really.

Winchester
Lvice Aug 2017
The character of beginnings,
Where a name ends
And an old story is rewritten.
Say goodbye to friends,
And call you by a new name.

Where the smile is brighter
On the side of this freshly painted fence.
You open new doors,
And take skeletons out of your closets and leave them in the sun.

Prince to millions of second chances
And kissing demons on the lips.
Asking your  mistakes to marry you,
And accepting them for what you are.

You'll be okay, tomorrow
And you're alright, today.
But you already knew that,
Didn't you?
A new name for a new person♡

Blankets
Lvice Aug 2017
The moon
Fills the glass bowl
That is the sky
Empties my mind
I wonder where you are
If you were made for cities
Did you grow restless in high school too?
Were people like us made for planes?
The ceiling is lit
Do pillows miss us when we aren't there for them to hold us?
Did teachers dream of being teachers?
The world has weight but never falls
I went to tell you I love you
But instead I typed "I don't know "
And life is full of uncertain
And do I want to know?

Maybe Cupid didn't Miss
Lvice Aug 2017
He
Plays with my hair
He
Plays with the fire
Of my soul
He
Asks me to kiss his burns
He
Continues to reach
Into my soul
She is fire
And he loves it
Lvice Aug 2017
There are leaves on my skin
Glass tongue kissing my legs
Yes they are shadow,
But my legs are covered in vine

And as the moon cast the window pain
Into my eyes I see it
I see it between the vines
Snaking their way through my sheets

Ripping through the cast of my house
Reaching for me in my sleep
Begging to ******* walls
Pleading to tear the carpet into shreds

Leaves on my skin
Though only the light is filtering in
Glass against my hands
The only thing between me and the Jasmine vines
These vines
Are taking over
This house.

Please Don't Quit On Me
Lvice Jul 2017
I just keep saying to breathe
And I'm not sure of who
I'm telling it to anymore

I keep telling them to breathe
Breathe because you're falling apart
Breathe so you can't quit.

Please don't quit on me
This is why I can't breathe
Don't quit on me

I can't quit breathing
Because if I do
I'll be losing the only thing I've ever done steadily

Third Eye Mantra
Lvice Jul 2017
I repeat
Words peacefully
As my mind becomes
The flickering candle
As flame grows,
my shadow dances with me.
My body reshapes-
I burn once again
As my wick
Forms the words repeatedly
"Enlighten".

Do ridiculous things
Like not telling your children

Lvice Jul 2017

As the sun wakes
The Sky.
And I ache
To hold you, as your
Eyes welcome the light.
Good morning to my Earth.

You
Lvice Jul 2017
You
The walls are spinning
Or
You
Are spinning
The bed is moving
Your head is moving
Your feet are dancing
Your mind is open to
All possibilities
There are no impossible things
In the realm
Of make believe
When you are a fact
And I
Am a point in history
I will look for you
Where the world never stops
Spinning
And colors
Taste like your name
This place
Where happiness sounds
Like music
Surround sound
In your head
The impossible is possible here
Where you never stop moving
I need another night
To never stop moving
To hear the music of my soul

Watch as it

Cupid doesn't shoot strait
Lvice Jul 2017
Our first clue
That love will hurt,
Should have been
Cupid shoots arrows
At people.

"But is the pain worth it?"
For I wouldn't know,
I've only been grazed
A couple times.

Papayas: Part Two
Lvice Jul 2017
I watched
As you peeled your layers back
Enough for me to see
The ripening fruit underneath
Enough, for me to love
The seeds that spring forth
At the mention of growth.

I watch
As you grow
As you break shell of seed
And peak of dirt
To kiss the air
As gently as ever
For my Papaya, keep growing despite struggle♡
Much love for you @VØD

She Is
Lvice Jul 2017
She
is
fresh air,
and I
had
forgotten I
had not been
breathing well.

She
breathes the sunset
back into
me
and suddenly
things are vivid once again

She
is the cold
when the sun
and I
have fought until the night.

I
never thought
that one person could
make the stars seem trivial,
but now I know,
even the stars
wonder about
her.
Our  Thousand-Mile collection is getting full!
Another poem with JAC! His are italicized!

Time Loops
Lvice Jul 2017
How was I supposed to know?
That in the cracks of time,
Are places that you've dropped hints
Of endless happiness.

Where pillows hold your voice for me,
And bed sheets are made of sleep.
Each time I hit them,
I'm thrown back to you.

Walking is easy here,
You need not hang on to your trouble-
For they don't matter in the morning
And nothing will weigh you down.

He will still protect you
Though, if you're scared.  
But there is no reason to be,
This is where dreams come to visit you.

Hearts Intertwined
Lvice Jul 2017
His cheek bones tightened with a little bit of a masterpiece,
yet I can see a small beautiful grin right underneath.

She looks at me,
And my world turns upside down.
Oceans don't seem so deep,
The sky at my feet.
She crashes into me like a wave,
And her hair curls around my finger like the tide.


His eyelashes flutter in the dark, lost within themselves,
every breath he took was taken with his demons sitting on his shelves

She can hardly breathe,
I know that now
Will all this talk of being deep
And yet she starts to drown


He built her into a gun, loaded her up,
made her say things she wouldn't

She crashes.
She looks beautiful as she breaks


He kisses her,
He tore himself apart first

I let her hands
Find mine


and so our hearts
were intertwined
This is a collaboration with the wonderful poetess Mina! Her beautiful words are so inspiring♡
My work is in italics, but look out for hers♡♡

This Afternoon
Lvice Jul 2017
I ran
without looking back
my spirits were lifted-
the heaviest weights
I ever held.

I almost fell backwards
but my spotter held me
he said to me
*Don't ever worry,
I have you.
I won't ever let you fall.

Clouds and Clocks
Lvice Jul 2017
The
clouds
must be moving
in their own sweet time.

*But who are we
To think that clouds
Have to follow our clocks?

California
Lvice Jul 2017
The quitest thing
was the city,
and at night
I'd let it
speak to me.

Music on streets
-cars and laughter-
fitting for someone
who can't sleep.
The city's awake,
So so am I.

When
did love
Become
A means
Of
Perfect torture?
Lvice Jul 2017
The lighting
Kisses the ground
twice.
As thunder
Caresses the
sky.
The harsh love
of Earth
Is how
I love you.
And when my soils
Are less than
what they were,
They were not worn away.
I have given them to you.
Lvice Jul 2017
I never used to "goodbye"
But I guess it's easier now
That you're just another guy
Another person to let go of

I never used to count my blessings,
But now they seem lesser and lesser
And you've become a burden
When I have to tell him why I won't say it back

I never used to shy away from love,
But the word never seemed so rough
Looking back at it
Maybe it never started with you
