you
ash Sep 2017
you
your head weighs heavy
on my shoulder,
as the feeling grows heavy
in my heart.
my stomach melts
at the sight of you,
twisting,
turning,
erupting.
a feeling so strong,
a constant string of emotions,
desires,
forbidden thoughts
in my dysfunctional brain.
it's wrong,
i know.
friendship shouldn't bring these feelings,
but they'll have to do.
because even though
i am in love with you,
i don't think you feel it too.
kind of a response to a song i love. you by dodie clark. i love sad poetry but i don't really have any inspo to have sad poetry (esp about relationships) but i thought of this while listening to that song.

we are here.
ash Sep 2017
i am not your baby.
i am not your plaything,
to look, to gawk, to touch.
i am not here for your eyes.
i am here for me.
this is my earth too,
our earth.
we are not subservient beings,
that you can bend,
like your own personal clay models.
we are here,
and being here is simple.
we make our own moves,
our own choices, without worrying
the impact of what you think. without you, we are important.
without you, we are independent.
without men,
women can choose.
we can exist freely in our earth,
as simply as you do.
idk i wrote this randomly bc a creepy guy made me feel uncomfortable

A field of yellow.
ash Jun 2013
Lay me down in a field of yellow,
Watch the cotton clouds drift past.
Your finger slowly caresses my arm,
as I gaze into your green eyes.
As the sky fades to a deeper hue,
I realize that I'll never stop loving you.
Because when I'm with you,
We forget about everything for a moment,
And simply let
the time slip by.

three true cinquains
ash Feb 2013
Couples
happy, carefree
holding one another
loving each other tenderly
partners.
------------------------
Autumn
colorful, calm
leavings flowing peacefully
crunching softly below footsteps
harvest.
-----------------------
Kittens
innocent, soft
playfully pouncing toys
purring so delicately soft,
meows.

a haiku for Michael.
ash Feb 2013
your auburn, red hair
flows like a dandelion seed
in the breezy air.
i usually **** at haikus, but i liked this one. :)

Cologne
ash Feb 2013
As we embrace,
your soft aroma fills the air.
It's comforting,
like a soft fleece blanket,
wrapped around you in the dead of winter.
So potent,
even when you disappear,
it somehow ...lingers.
Reminding me of what once was.
Reminding me of the perfection.
Reminding me of you.

Wanderlust
ash Jan 2013
I’d travel the world,
With nowhere to go,
By foot,
By plane,
Or maybe even a train.
Stopping at fast- paced cities,
And the quaintest of towns.
Aurora skylines,
Viridian plains,
Aquamarine sea ways,
Are just a few sights to see,
So why not travel the world with me?

Patience
ash Jan 2013
Patience, they say, is a virtue.
But I cannot have that virtue with you.
When I am with you, time flies like the plane that brought you to me.
When I am without you, time freezes and everything becomes real again.
Time is what makes it hard.
I hate time. I hate it with a burning passion.
But if that’s what it takes, I don’t mind.
Because my love for you is forever,
And that’s longer than any time I will endeavor.

Serendipity
ash Jan 2013
You stumbled across me in a beautiful way;
Like a gliding bee, trying to find its delicate flower:
Unexpected, but perfectly timed.
Now, I will never have to search.
Search for the sometimes never ending path of love.
Because you found the love in me,
and I found it in you too.

— The End —
