Aloof from reality
People permeate through you
Reach out
Hold it in
You cannot seem to conjure a pure thought
Your troubles engulfing you
The people become elusive
Hello?
Are you there?
But you give no signal
Reassure those who try to reach in
Don't them in
Let's play pretend
That life is ok
That you know me
That I am real
Hello?
Are you there?
Silence is all they hear.
Intensify my thoughts.
Make the unseasonable thing in life delightful.
Untangle my interlaced knots.
When you are exposed will you be spiteful?
The heart of mine is leaking
Accept my unmet qualities that you see.
The heart of yours is peeking
Please don't wag away from me.

Instead be fain to stay,
And see what will become of this lovely day.
Didn't mean for it to be a corny rhyme poem at first, but it'll do.
The sea is a tease.
The waves are almost tangent to my feet.
The water will come and just gaze the tip of my toes.
It then soon departs,
leaving me with a sense of loneliness.
I am empty of all life.
I was so close to the sea, yet so far.
I barely have sight of the sea bubbles.
They seem to be distancing with every breathe that comes from my lungs.
It is so far
Come close
Save me from my land.
The meaning it holds overpowers what it could not.
Those reft of the truth
shall stand with innocence.
Once one sees the flower
one must express its beauty.
But the inwardness between
the clandestine beauty and oneself
powers beyond all.
Once shared to see
the beauty begins to mitigate.
For what is unique
is what is secret.
And what is apparent
is what is barren.
I tried to write a poem
about how happy you make me
but I'm so lost for words

Beauty marks as galaxies
Freckles as complex star formations
Her skin as the vast expanse of the universe*

With grace in her heart
And flowers in her hair
She seems to light the world on fire
With her love and flare
a cigarette in it's box
toys stuck in plastic
paint in the can
the girl inside of you
the happy one
we are all
*trapped
Dad
talking things out
has seemed to work for me
cause the more I ask
the more I find out
the more answers
I have to my problems
and I have found the root
of my anxiety
and my desire from perfection
but don't be surprised
because
*you are the root to my problems
alone in the mind
so focused on big things
tests
friends
life ahead
job
that when you walk in
try not to ***** her
for she is always afraid

Something about the way she sighs
Always taking those long, drawn-out breaths
Because she once grew so accustomed to taking such long, drown-out drags from her cigarette
Though she broke the habit of smoking
She could never break the habit of breathing so deeply
But you like small sounds

Something about the way she laughs quietly
Like her voice is shy and timid of being acknowledged
But you like small sounds
So you notice

Something about the way she mumbles
In bed, she once whispered, "I'll never leave you"
And you weren't sure if she was awake or asleep
But it didn't matter, you believed her anyway
Because you like small sounds
And you love her quiet way
