A poem I made for someone with whom I had a little bout with, and put in a letter. Nothing special, unless the words hide a meaning . . . ?
She was just another star
from a distant constellation

But she didn't know that
looking from his planet
she was already a
beautiful nebula.

i want to touch you
but its shameful
and you're on the other side
of the yellow line
in the carriage
beyond the gap
a world away
a different track

we don't realise
how much there is left unsaid
till we don't see each other
for half a year
and you push me away
when i hold you near
and you mouth words
my anxiety tells me you don't mean
though you tell me
it was instinctual
some part of me tells me
that i suppose it must be something real

glitter
coats your eyelids
and the visible light spectrum
clouds the streets
till all we can see
are rainbows
but im staring at your lips
kissing your neck and cheek
holding you close to me
like magnets
there is a force
we've tried to ignore
but it's pulling me
to you.

Inked Quill
I stroll
Under white clouds
Wish for a sunny fall
Bury myself
In your arms
Kiss you till sparks fly
As you stand
Dreamy eyed

Do you ever forget,
how lonely you are?
When the silence creeps in,
like the moon and the stars.
And all they see above so high,
is untold stories,
seen by those twinkling lights.

Everything that we once knew,
It was false, untrue.
We didn't know the truth,
Watching the stars burn as they die.

We're made of stardust too,
When I look at them,
I think of you.
They know our untold story
and how it'll never touch pen to page.
Why do you think it rains?
They're crying for us two,
Don't feel lonely,
when I'm always with you.

write a poem.
its been two long years
and i fear I don't even know what a poem is.
i fear i've never even written one.
i look back at my fleet and
i see forced words
prematurely picked
from their fields.
****** into the arena as dogs
with their tails glued to their thighs.
i fear i have succeeded at preparing
a dish of underdeveloped corpses.

Currently we judge,
Looking at angles to win
Just to please your own mind.

We throw insults and we fight,
We ignite fuel to our fingers
Tapping away like it's a race for popularity.

The world spins and spins,
Yet nothing really changes
Because we just keep spinning.

But it's as if we have weaved
Ourselves into a ditch of
Despairing linear paths.

As we watch, we listen, we observe
And try to become something else,
Something we're not supposed to be.

Just to let everyone know
That you watch the same things,
That you do the same things.

But then after it all we realise
As we grow older and as we mature,
We merely did nothing for ourselves.

We just followed the same road,
We followed the same destiny
And we lose ourselves in our journey.

At the end of it all we start to notice
We have taken the wrong path,
And the other roads are too far away.

So we turn into the side-roads,
Which lead to nothing but plagued floors
Broken doors and empty souls.

Mobiles have taken love out of ***,
Generations have missed out
How it feels to actually be connected.

You make love and your phone rings,
People stop to answer like your moments
Aren't precious enough with loved ones.

We eat meals at restaurants
With our families and friends,
All I see is arched necks and fiery fingers.

I wish I was in a time when we spoke
To one another about our days,
Not about a video that has gone viral.

I wish that as I grow and my children
Will walk amongst the earth I have,
It won't **** them into inevitable fates.

I don't want them to be another
White sheep hopping the same fence,
Like the rest of this miserable world.

Systems have taken individualism
Out of individuals and get labelled weird,
They give us titles like "OCD, ADHD".

I'm not either, and I don't actually have
A label to my name, yet I feel I should
I feel why shouldn't I?

After all I like to think different,
I like to think one day we will see
The clear glass in front of us.

But most of all, I truly hope one day,
We can become a better world
Instead of repetition in characters.
Just some quick thoughts I had on my brain. But this type of thing doesn't get spoken about enough. This may "offend" some, but I only speak in truths. My heart can only love so much until it gets stretched beyond its limit.

a one night sweetheart she surrounded me
I plunged the depths of one night's love
grasped about in my hands
all I could in such a short time
her soft *** in both hands
her neck kissed her mouth taken
for all I could and she did
and we said goodbye at 5 am
never to see each other
again
but in my dreams
her name
was
