Look up, child, before it’s too late
The years fly by and life won’t wait.
It’s not there on your tablet screen,
or any smartphone that I’ve seen.
No lovely lass can catch your eye
if you’re perusing shutterfly.
Facebook may be fun, even great,
But you have an expiration date.
You may get “likes” and have “4 bars”
Does that matter if you’ve lost the Stars?

The world was dissolving into a meaningless mess,
It was draining her strength, as she tried to stay on top.
But the more she tried, the more she lost in this game of chess.
And she wished, would time please stop?
She needed to breathe,
There was a lump in her throat, and it wouldn’t leave.
The quicksand stopped, only her heart continued to fall.
She struggled, fighting a losing battle with herself,
There was no where to turn, no lights to follow.
Only the quicksand, and her,
No words spoken, no thoughts read,
Secrets to remain with a soul never to be caught again.

I must not gaze at them although
Your eyes are dawning day;
I must not watch you as you go
Your sun-illumined way;

I hear but I must never heed
The fascinating note,
Which, fluting like a river reed,
Comes from your trembing throat;

I must not see upon your face
Love's softly glowing spark;
For there's the barrier of race,
You're fair and I am dark.

my heart beats faster for you
my heart and mind ache simply for you
is this love or fear i feel
for my thoughts are solely on you

you confuse me so much
i fear you so as such
you bring out the worst in me
gawky inelegant maladroit i am around you
it's nauseating that i am, also without you
it's upsetting, i am revolted at this
is this love or fear i feel about this

my heart beats faster for you
my heart and mind seems to ache
just thinking about you
is this love or fear i feel for you
stranger at day, thief at night
you are to me
for my thoughts are solely on you you see
my heartaches specially for you
is this love or fear i feel about you

i am having one right now
you know,
the feeling of being blocked
from the words I want to flow
for the words and worlds i want to show
is it because i already said it all
is it because now i have nothing to say at all
my mind is occupied with things i don't really want
i want it occupied with the things i want
and need
i need it to overflow with words
rhyming words of love and treason deeds
is it because i really don't know how to write poetry
or it is because poetry has ****** me for eternity

How can you fight what is inevitable
How can you stop something unstoppable
How can you run and hide from what's inescapable

No you can't
So just go with the flow
for all you know you are superhuman
with a strength unfathomable
with love deep and impenetrable

you are just misunderstood
