One day I'll write your name upon this anthology
but as I lay abandoned in the garden of grief  coughing out smoke signals and vomiting up words I'll burn every **** poem
This is who I am now, a weeping willow
I flooded the ocean trying to save myself
And can still hear the sirens song
Mutilated lullabies
I see you in tricks of light, and in a blink gone

Not all good is bad
Not all bad is good
Just two halves of an ever changing world
Eyes like spiders
Nails like blades
I am Cruella De Vil.
If I don't scare you, no evil thing will.

I am so afraid that one day your heart will grow legs and run away

Rest in peace to all the brave gryffindors
The courageous ones with hearts that soar
Rest in peace to all the smart ravenclaws
You left this generation in intelligent awe
Rest in peace to all the clever slytherin
without you, many of us wouldn't grin
Rest in peace to all the kind hufflepuff
I know our journey was tough

Avada kedavra to the other sort
Crucio on voldermort
imperious on the non deluxe
Destroy all of the horcrux

Shortlived were the cohorts
That tried to defeat hogwarts

we thank you
The death of fictional characters will always outweigh reality.

Do you remember the cold day that you slipped your favorite braclette onto my limb as if to replace the shivering with material love
But instead of the charm it held your initial to lay forlorn on my pale flesh
Yet in reality it was just beads of my favorite colors patternized in the sequence of my heart beats.

A** love message in skin
Late night pillow talk
Extra cream your coffee
XIII days, years, century's could never be enough of what I want to spend with you.

Damn, you're amazing.
Always be the one for me.
Violently crush me with your lips
I'm so in love with you.
Dear alex

to put yourself in my shoes
is hard when they have holes
filled with dirt from the heart
These Appalachian souls

we work
from night till morn
These rough calloused hands
so tired and worn

a love like my pillows
after a long day
though do I complain
‘nay

These hills have ears
that I ain’t wishin to disrespect
so I whisper and pray
and hope to connect

to the rolling meadows
and slopping range
my deep roots
who have no desire to change

when times get tough
ill never miss
the land that loved me
that beautiful whiskey kiss

I take my hat off and bow my head to every mile marker that is your 81, I know you're trying to follow my journey but kitten I'm going down south, East of misery and a little bit West of the cemetery, your ice cold heart just doesn't belong, the sun is my Shepard but baby you're just a sheep, I'll love you always just not in this mid Florida heat, complete opposites in the light of the path, you chose too early, and now your set in a casket, go haunt route 66 where I might visit in a few years, I'm just a wandering soul, trying to run, you're not making it easy on me, I miss my lost son

She waitresses on poetry as of he's an old lover.  Serving warm hearts on a silver platter like it was never her job to please.  Don't bite the hand that feeds and never show your teeth. Thin lipped smiles counting secrets and forgotten shifts on broken fingertips.  The cafe of delight never had a women like snow white and giving is what we do best. Fine wine,  dine with us. Taste test the waters and see if you don't drown.  Bobbing for apples as if we grow on trees,  I waitress on poetry but it's about time poetry starts waiting on me

Green
Blurring forests and a lead foot
Racing the enemy in my thought
Being pushed aside,  I put
Money in the hand of a grim who could be bought
Playing a card game with fate
Pinky promises with a double pair of eights and aces
The grave took the bait
And looked me in my two faces
Green
Sick at the reminder of midnight wine
I can't find my last dime
To place a call to a home that's not mine
cherish the bitter taste of a lover who's long since past their prime.
I'm not proud of my virtues nor vices
But I'm giving them up,  again
Everything comes with prices
Please Don't make me give up my pen.
Green.
Gardens of rosebud
A prickle a thorn
More water than mud
Less lust than scorn
I'm growing some petals
I hope you notice
Although this sun never settles
A beautiful white lotus
Green

Yellow
Broken boards of plastic
A mannequin of blockade
Accept this apology quick!
So you can be remade
The brakes stopped
Or at least the ones in my brain
I hear a whistle, hopped
In the way of a train
Whispering suggestions and hints I can no longer ignore
Pages ripped from the seams
This hazing I can take no more
Waking screaming from my dreams
I woke up covered in ****
I'm sorry for my language
No one will hardly miss
Me
Yellow

Red
stop lights in front of train tracks, you were my biggest friend because friends let friends, keep going

I love the spring.
The summer and the warm weather.
The green grass and the bumble bees.
I know someday I'll be sad again.
Maybe when the cold returns, freezing all feelings of happiness.
Or maybe when you realize and see my flaws as an open book before your eyes
or when you get bored and leave me to love another.
Or maybe when we're old and life cruelly takes you before the heavens do me
but for now as the weather gets better so do I.
The sun in smiling and so am I.

I WANT TO SHOUT I LOVE YOU FROM THE TOP OF A SNOW COVERED MOUNTAIN AND WATCH THE SNOW BILLOW DOWN LIKE AN AVANLANCHE OF MY LOVE

Its easier to write free verse but you like rhyming best so here's how it goes
3 am is for the poets, or didn't you know
That I'm always kissing and missing you, and picking your nose
I guess I'm just so in love with you, all that has to show

That I just want to make you smile
I'm proud of you and want you to be proud of me Mr Lyles
please stay for a little while
we'll walk hand in hand for miles


**love me, miss me, need me, want me,
Want me, need me, love me, miss me
miss me, love me, want me, need me,
Need me, want me, miss me, love me.

She pleaded with pirouettes in a game of Russian roulette, a trigger happy princess who's looks only shot blanks.  A tight rope teen, a choreographed ****** scene as the ballerina danced with death. It took more than a few bruises ankles and broken hearts to stop this one women show. From pain comes art, it was self-destruction that was the theater's downfall.

O' Blackbird cant you see in good faith what you've done to me, surely you must since you never blink an eye, O' blackbird how under ever such a watchful presence could I lie, early bird catches the worm but neither one of us rest, please O' dear let me leave the nest, I promise I wont stray near of far or reach for any a star, I just want a break
let me fly  O' blackbird,  let me be unconfined, I will always be yours and you will always be mine, I just long to let my wings stretch and soar, me and the sky forevermore, how the blues and greys are nothing compared to ours

There are petals in my lungs
I have roots instead of veins
Soaked in rainwater, dancing in the sunlight
I am beautifully photosynthesized
I've been writing about plants and trees a lot lately. I have springtime butterflies
AavelinaJaden Apr 2014
Shuffle my thoughts
bridge my emotions
Build a fortress that can't be moved
I'll be the queen of diamonds
You'll be the outlawed joker
Together we'll be the wildest cards and rule the land of poker
Deuces* ✌

DEAD POETS HONOR.;
- I PROMISE TO SPEAK OUT OF TURN
- I WILL LET MY COMPASSION GET IN THE WAY OF MY OTHERWISE ACTIONS
-I WILL NOT BE AFRAID OF MY OWN VOICE
-I WILL SEIZE THE DAY
-I PROMISE  TO INSPIRE, TO CRY, AND LET WORDS SEEP FROM MY EVERY PORE
i shall not break this vow of commitment to my club so help me, poet, my peers shall dig the dirt from atop my head and sacrifice me to society's whims.
i am a dead poet and this is my honor.

Upon walking in the market a guy noticed a disheveled young woman sitting alone on a bench.
"Penny for your thoughts miss" he asked, raising his eyebrows.
"It'd take a lot more than that to get whats on my mind, sir"
"Let's start simple then" tossing her a penny.
"Well," running a hand through her golden blonde hair "the weather is finally getting better."
"Yes" he agrees and tosses her a nickel.
"5. Its been 5 years since my husband left, and took the kids."
With a frown on his face he throws her a dime.
"10. The number of days any man has stayed with me since."
He walks up to hand her a quarter, placing a hand on her shoulder for comfort.
"I am 25 years old sir. Almost a quarter of the age you are. And simply just not living the life a 25 year old should."
"Well. That's too bad. But I have a gold dollar in here that wants to hear more. So, may i ask, change for thought my lady?"
"If it's anything to say, 141 is the most anyone has ever invested in me at all. I didn't know i was worth so much. Thank you"
Reads more like a story then a poem. Idk 2:31 am

I'm in love with your coffee shaped heart, and the way your scent of fresh bagels wafts through to the bedroom as you kiss me with the taste of sugar and cream on your lips. A caffeine high radiates from you as you grab my hips from behind while I make breakfast in one of your over-sized t-shirts. You have to go to work but I grab your hand and whisper "please, stay for one more cup"

BEFORE YOU THE WORLD WAS A RAINBOW, FULL OF BLUE SKIES WITH WHITE CLOUDS, GREEN GRASS WITH YELLOW LIGHTNING BUGS BLINKING IN AND OUT; NOW EVERYTHING IS GREY. GREY SMILES AND LADYBUGS, GREY FORESTS FIRES WITH EVEN GREYER SMOKER. YOU DRAINED THE LIFE, THE HAPPY, THE COLOR OUT OF MY EARTH. IM EMPTY AND BLIND AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE YOU DECIDED I WASNT THE RIGHT HUE PUT TOGETHER IN THE RIGHT PATTERN. IM SORRY I WASNT WHO YOU WANTED TO ENJOY THE SUNSET WITH BUT ILL BE ****** IF YOU DONT LIKE THOSE LIGHTS BECAUSE YOU LEFT ME IN THE DARK AND I HOPE SHE IS YOUR SUN WHILE I WATCH IN THE SHADOWS.

Dear you, its 3:12 am I can't sleep because your arms are not wrapped around me. You are the if in my life, a chance I'm forever willing to risk and the lone star shining in my galaxy, my knight in shining armor. I am your princess, your angel only because your breath gives me wings to fly. I love you. I need you. I miss you. I hope when you wake to this. Your heart will reach out for mine and skip a beat, wanting to soak up every second we have with each other, even though it'll never be enough. For now I hope you're sleeping sound, maybe my sweet lullabies are caressing your dreams and scaring your nightmares away. Dear you, my Alex David, good night, sleep tight and think light. Sincerely, Mrs. Lyles.
I'm so hoping you like this baby, I want to make you proud.

for a long moment
nobody said a word
the Dissonance crept in like ice
under the nails, under the skin
mouths frozen shut
silence again

and it lingered

the scent of a cigarette
chill of the air
the disturbance of something constant

for a long moment
we touched
for a long moment, we just touched
and everything was okay again

*******, im just a kid with dreams, right?
dreaming of a day when all my problems go away
i dream of lightning striking trees the way teachers striked down every thought causing chaos and fire burning down the forest of thoughts in my brain
and of the waves, on a windy day, being able to wash away every bad memory of plagued black shores caused by irreugular heartbeats
the wasted potential of ghost poems haunt my subconcious on a regular basis
im afraid to go to sleep; nightmares of you leaving chase every atom of my ever running body, exhausted reality and non
i dream of books being true, the words of my favorite love novel unfolded in front of my eyes, spoken characters out of the past
dreaming dreams, all i ever do, in hopes that at least one comes true.
dreams night sleep nightmare unconscious reality thinking thoughts scared you me
AavelinaJaden Jun 2014
Sometimes I wonder if the trees are green because they are jealous of the clouds, to grow so tall and yet never be able to hold hands with the sky, to never be good enough so when it rains its really just the clouds crying out for the lost friendship and they say the grass is always greener on the other side but that's only true because neither can reflect the meadow in your eyes that I often gaze into wondering if its really me you see and not some sycamore because no matter how luciously sinful nature is it'll always be beautiful and I will never compare to that emerald jewel because I'll always be a **** billowing in the land of self pity and outward envy.
AavelinaJaden Apr 2014
Maybe I don't notice the little things.
Like the way your mouth looks when it forms my name.
Or the way you feel steadier with your hand in mine.
Or even the way your fingernail is chipped from playing guitar for me.
But what I do notice is your eyes.
How they have little golden flecks in the soft green.
Green that's like a meadow in the summer that's more prominent in the sun.
I often stare into those eyes.
Trying to catch a glimpse of what you see in me.
AavelinaJaden Jun 2014
Fire and ice share two common letters.
I and E. Vowels, to be particular.
Yet the similarities don't outweigh the differences.
Fire is how his hands feel on your thighs after the first fight and ice is how your heart feels on the night he walks away.
Fire is destructive, like your words that lash me like a whip, aND SOMETIMES I JUST WANT TO BURN EVERY SINGLE MEMORY OF THE LIGHTNING OFF YOUR LIPS FROM MY BRAIN but I can't risk the cold and lack what your warm hands bring. Ice is cruel, it leaves you cold and miserable, suffering as an avalanche of unreplied text messages and love letters unanswered downfall on your ever aching body aND I SWEAR IM SICK OF THIS ICEBERG IN MY HANDS, LEAVING ME NERVOUS AND NUMBED I just miss the smell of oak trees burning as we ran laughing through the forest, I'm sorry I was so cold, ruthless even that the moon cast its shadowed eyes upon me. We are opposites but we complete each other, fire and ice, come back, I need you to thaw me out, I'll melt in your arms and promise never to freeze again

Her name was petunia
She had hair the color of twilight settling after a hurricane and irises darker than the moon
Her smile was the crescent that the stars sung for
her fingers as dainty as China ware on the finest plates
Shy as werewolves howling for comfort
and brave as the wind dusting the horizon
She never did understand why her mother named her after something as petite as a flower
She couldn't understand her own beauty

Daisy; nose as freckled as the beach is sandy
Wrists as worn as the pages of a librarians favorite book
Sundays sunny as the sunflowers she wore on her church dress
inconspicuous was the boy she held hands with under the pews
Hated her parents for her wretched name
she murmured between kisses with the preachers son
the devil himself wasn't a flower, but a ****
Took her life the day he was baptized
A flowers life is not the life for me, said daisy

Rose
The beautiful of the most
with red lies that'd set your heart to flames
She'd burn down every field
and ***** every finger of those who kissed her lips
Ivory skin of leaves so green
envious of those who weren't picked,  and pitied, and deprived of their innocence and privacy
Just because fate handed her the life of lust and friends of petunias and Daisy's who never made the cut

You think you're better than me
You say you know you're better than me
So why do you have to keep proving it
When evidence has proven you **wrong
AavelinaJaden Nov 2016
You're making me insane by knotting your fingers in my hair,  pulling out stands and making a necklace of rope to lead me to safety.  I'm weak and frayed,  afraid and praying, no one ever said an alter girl was on her knees too much,  these bruises are temporary but I hope you'll stay forever. With arms held high above you are mine for the night and I'll make you shout my name from the heavens.  I want to be worthy, need to be worthy of your love, I'll lay down on the aisle and let the feet of a God walk over me  let the hands of a God take everything I have to give, my reason for retribution lies at the bottom of your alter covered in relations of relief. Only luck has guided me to you
AavelinaJaden Apr 2014
Finally together
At last
You close your eyes and wrap your arms around me
You hands explore mine as I'm trying to catch my breathe
You're exhausting the seven seas the way that you caress my bones and declaring I'm yours by decree
I swear ill hear you in my head past death
Breathing on my neck and whispering sweet words in my ear
I'm going to faint, I think as I pull your face up to kiss my lips
I will never ever ever love another, my dear
As we stare into the irises of each other, my whole world tips
I'm so in love
It's been two years and I still get goosebumps
AavelinaJaden Apr 2014
I love you, stupid.
You dont have to prove your worth.
Stupid, I love you.

This aching,
its hollow.
I feel it bouncing between my ribcage,
hear it echoing down the corridor of my mind
what once were steady hands began to shake
flightless bird
death looks cold on you

In drivers ed they say you must hold your hands in the "10 and 2" position, like the numbers on a clock but my time with you is always blurry and I know there's only 10 fingers and 2 hands that are holding my heart from falling off a cliff and that my dear is not very safe so next time your thoughts are a train wreck just remember wear a seat belt and tread carefully among the caution tape.
AavelinaJaden Jun 2014
I have a problem
I listen to music so loud I can't hear my own thoughts and everybody says I'm going to go deaf by the age of 20 but at least I won't hear you say that you never loved me
I have a problem
Your favorite colors are silver and red so I take this blade across my skin again and again and bleed out the beauty that you said was only on the inside
I have a problem
My vision is blurry as a bottle drops from my hand
The sound I hear resonating when it shatters sounds miles away like the memory of our first date with champagne and roses and you loving me
I have a problem
I need to feel a pair of hands around my throat. Get a grip on life, ******, I love you.
I have a problem
You used to hate cigarettes. But now that you're gone, one always resides between my fingers where yours used to be and hopefully if I smoke at 11:11 you'll care enough to come back and stop me
I have a problem.

im afraid to google your name because of all the newspaper articles about the little lost boy who never made it to graduation
AavelinaJaden Feb 2016
what is a paper without lines
these sullen faces show no decline
     or any remorse for their action

     im not a poet if I cannot write
     about these tragic spiritual beings in my sight
          you, beautiful devil, are my inspiration

               this square paper and these four walls
               so whitewashed with ambitions so tall
                    holding my pen like I wanna hug my freedom

the silence is suffocating
nails on the chalkboard, mandating
     every thought in this epitome of a prison

         the clock is tick tick ticking down
         tick tick ticking without a sound
               the boredom gaining excellent momentum

                   I ran out of ink, ill have to use blood
                   im running out of sanity, 6 feet under the mud
                          I guess that would mean that I am done
AavelinaJaden Feb 2015
think I've forgotten how to write. I know i have a voice. It speaks in my mind but its receding like the hairline I know yours will when you're forty and I don't know whether it will come back and I'm afraid that if it doesn't I'll forget how to speak to you and we'll grow apart like leaves on a tree in winter so glue a pen to my palm and make me dance and hopefully words will relearn how to waltz across the page.
