I Have Lived

ARI
I have felt
Dejected.
I have been
Swallowed by
Grief.

I have felt
Anguished.
I have been
Far beyond
Heartbroken.

I have felt
Hopeless.
I have been
Abused by
Misery.

I have felt
Dysphoria.
I have been
Adrift within
Sorrow.

But,

I have felt
Wonder.
I have been
Wrapped inside
Comfort.

I have felt
Delight.
I have been
Given sweet
Laughter.

I have felt
Exhilaration.
I have been
Loved inside
Paradise.

I have felt
Hopeful.
I have been
Blessed with
Freedom.

great love to me is frightening
it's all ache and burn
the
rearranging of breath & bones
justifying anything at all to see that
smile in front of me
I can't
rightfully explain it the way my knees can
or my
right hand but
I like to call it floating
I like to feel that &
sink at the same time \
it's confusing and beautiful;
hours become petals,
heartbeats are worthy and
it is cold settling after this.
it is unbreathable
when the warmth gets wasted

parting
 Dec 2015 Anna-Lynn
Yasmine
When you said hello,
I said goodbye to every other person
I had ever met

When you said goodbye,
I heard goodbye from every other person
All in one moment

I wish we were together
Not world's apart like this
Not touching is one thing
But there's much more that i miss

I miss your face
Your words, and breath
The morning surprises
And midnight sets

I've never seen your face
North heard your voice
For you think you're ugly
That your voice is coarse

Show yourself honey
Well see how I feel about you
I can't take it anymore
Because you're beautiful inside.

What if you were a treasure
Hiding in disguise?
Same girl.
I am the bomb
Why?
Well just look at me
Look at my complexion, dark and smooth
Look at my face, so fat and cute
Look at my body, plump and petite
Look at my soul, so bold and free

Now look at you!
I love your complexion
Your face
Your body
And your soul

You the bomb too
Just a little differently than me
But it's still cool
Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated
