hello: Favorites

If you are a lover of words,
you’d understand the
beautiful curse that befell us,
those who strive and endeavor
with a passion planted inside us
that flourishes and thrives.
Like Athena and her web,
our webs are made of
hundreds of words, woven with
our pencils like needles,
and so we get better at
sewing our works.

A girl
once loved words
wholeheartedly,
but occasionally tried
to let love go
before sewing poems
became her favorite thing
and nothing more.

This is when I found my voice. Written on March 24, 2013.

the sky out, tonight

Apr 2013 hello

the sky out, tonight

memory clings to my porous depths,
moments now all but nonexistent, in a
shatter-scar painted fog,
rolling in further,
each hour before dawn.

what I have not yet even begun
has already transpired,
and dug ditches into
point-blanched seconds,
as I sit,
on the windowsill,
looking out over the ocean.

its countless cerulean rivulets,
tugging, at the
worn-down and torn-apart fabric,
binding the center of my chest,
each little shard
another droplet of
growing, smiling sharpness.
it whispers:

"you're in love
with the sea,
so
why don't
you just
god-
**** drown?"

so I set aside
all my nails,
and walk down,
to the shoreline;
but

I'm just
sad words,
and
no action;

so I slip back, to square one,
just a little further down,

and

rinse,
and repeat.

You are weary, I think

Apr 2013 hello

You are weary, I think

You are weary, I think
 Of endless puzzles and games
 And short romantic flames

  You have grown disenchanted
 With everything
 Every stupid girl and foolish fling

  You are bored
 Of things built upon passing waves
 Of all these conformists, these slaves

  You have grown spiteful
 Against people whining and nagging
 And keeping secrets and bragging

  And you are exasperated, maybe,
 With all your toys breaking
 As soon as you take them out of their boxes

  It may be you are sick
 Of instability and castles of crumbling sand
 Of things reeling and getting out of hand

  You have grown impatient
 With cheaters and capricious ******
 Who claim they are forever yours

  You are tired, perhaps
 Of feeling alone
 And things aching through no fault of your own

  I may not be
 The sturdiest thing you've ever laid eyes on
 I am little, and frail
 And weak and pale
 And I stumble when it's windy out
 But I know, without a doubt
 That for you I will be strong
 That I will never do you wrong
 I'll keep you from going off the brink
 Because you are weary, I think

In The Woods

The sun shines upon the trees
With its warm red glow
And the sunrays shine upon the trees
Where birds perch in the branches and sing
Where flowers secretly unfurl their soft petals and sweetness
Where bluebells grow and cover the ground
In purplish-blue
Where the sky is forever sapphire blue
Where the violets and moss grow
Where the breezes dance and caress my fair cheeks
Where periwinkles bloom
And peach blossoms unfurl their petals
And lift up their heads
And feel the warm sunshine on their pink cheeks
And where Fairies dance and waltz
At nighttime when Night wears her dark
Majestic gown of celestial beauty
Where the Fairies dance
And play Enchanted instruments
Like the harp
Which brings forth its nocturnal melodies
That dance upon the air
Which is perfumed with dazzling flowers
That bloom at Night
Where mist lingers in the sky
And sunrays dance upon its
Beautiful path
Where sunsets greet the west
And where sunrises say hello to Dawn
And where Dusk settles bringing
The dancing Fairies
That hush the world to sleep
With their sweet lullabies

How to write a love song

Apr 2013 hello

How to write a love song

First you try and create the mood,
A quiet and peaceful atmosphere
Give us more romance than you should,
Find your inner voice, calm and clear.

Then your hands on the piano
Should look like the wings of a butterfly
Tell us about that girl you know,
Tell a story that would make us cry.

Just write a love song,
With stupid clichés and stupid romance
Make us sing along,
And give us the chance
To fall in love tonight.

Try to remember about
All the chances you missed
And what hurt the most in your past
And all those goodbye kisses ;

Turn those memories into
A stupid song with a stupid name,
Like "That girl I thought I knew",
And don't come back with no fame.

Just write a love song,
With stupid clichés and stupid romance
Make us sing along,
And give us the chance
To fall in love tonight.

And here we go, you're on stage,
The crowd listens to you.
Locking your heart away in a cage,
Locking away everything you knew.

Sing with your own voice the painful words
That couldn't get out of your throat ;
Admit your feelings to that special girl,
Or don't say anything at all...

Just write a love song,
With stupid clichés and stupid romance
Make us sing along,
And give yourself the chance
To fall in love tonight,
For the last time.
