Mirror, Mirror
Brianna Ki Apr 2014
Mirror, mirror on this wall, I’ll remember you as you fall.

In slow motion you crumble, you stood so strong.
Keeping all records of their wrongs, but why?
Your burden was what you reflected, what you surround.
You fell in the open, but no one heard a sound.

Discouraged and misplaced, you shattered
All of your pieces scattered.

Broke apart to create a work of art

two tone poem
Brianna Ki Jan 2011
Some day’s I'm like polka dots bouncing all around,
Can’t keep my feet on the ground,
Never lying around
Colorful and brilliant

But other days I’m more of the like a single stripe,
Plain and out of site,
Wishing it was tomorrow
In pain and full of sorrow.

Which one will it be?
Well, for today we’ll just have to wait and see.

Unity
Brianna Ki Jan 2011
Exotically twirling, swept off of her feet
In love even more when their eyes meet,
Staring deeply with passionate eyes
In love forever and always until their hearts fly
Senses and being are together as one
Their love will never, ever be undone,
Sensual sweet whispers in light,
Two beings as one forever in the night,
Life day to day
Sweet kisses in the sun,
Having fun until the day is done
No fights just perfect
Worry free…
Exactly how this wicked world should be.

Nightmare
Brianna Ki Apr 2014
This reoccurring nightmare overrules me deep in sleep
Won’t wake me from my slumber,
Imprisons me in this keep


I try to run, I try to scream.
This is my certainty
Stuck in this bad dream


There, all about me are these stone cold walls
Over-protecting, so suspicious, untrusting …
They guard my soul.
Asking why are they so **** tall.


Restricting my heart I’m bound.
Powerless, I trail this authority
What hope is there now?


I pray in this frigid nightmare for the strength that I won’t break
Eager to be released from this lonely place
I’ll lie right here. My sanity they can’t take.

Discouraged
Brianna Ki Jan 2011
I am discouraged
Not content with life
Not pleasantly lost in a beautiful memory
Not caring anymore
But just walking around with the fake smile on
Down and hurt
Down that, I cannot take it any longer
Just down to my lowest in the hole where no one can get me out….

Wet Dog. (senses poem)
Brianna Ki Jan 2011
Panting
Long soft sighs
Breathing in sync with heart beats
Shampoo
Sweet mossy scent
Soaked
Wet velvet fur
Shake, shake, shake
Now everyone’s wet
Running and screaming
Spraying with the hose
Loose fur and water in my mouth
Spit
Sick
All ***** again

Sunset
Brianna Ki Jan 2011
Serenely sitting on the end of my dock
I watch the sunset rippled in the lake
I shut my eyes and breathe the air
And slowly drift away

Now I’m in an affectionate and bright sandy land
And all I sense is love and bliss
Feeling swept away by waves of remarkable blue water
I am alive! I shout when the next wave hits
The man of my dreams comes and joins me,
Takes me away, away into the sunset
Suddenly we are dancing, dress and radiating hair flowing and flowing
Sugary sticky scent of the bright pink blossom in my hair
In sync our bodies collide, side by side
Spinning into your arms moving all about
Your are mine we walk into the night my eyes open and all is lost,
I’m back in my world thinking of you

Fight of this family
Brianna Ki Jan 2011
Why does my family feud?
Can’t they ever get along, my mom and my dad?
Can all this yelling stop?
Even though it is silent, it still hurts to hear.
Why do you have to leave?
My heart is broken, can’t you see!
Just get along with dad just get along with mom!
Can’t you see my brother’s worried!
What is the matter with you two?
Is there no love? Is there no God in your heart?
Just do something about it, there are other ways.
You can’t give up now! That’s stupid!
You’re not children you’re adults…
Family helps each other out, not fight about who is right and who is wrong!
You are both wrong can’t you see!
We need to work this out as a FAMILY…
There is some hope, please don’t give up now!
I need you all,
*With out my family,
I am nothing.

unknown existence.
Brianna Ki Jan 2014
How must she restrain her heart from the embrace of the one who crumbles it so casually?
So delicately her heart sifts through his hands, as he holds the parts most essential for it to beat unaided.
She has exhausted her limit, her soul’s definition.
She no longer knows her very own existence.

Forget-Me-Knot
Brianna Ki Jan 2014
Relax upon this chilled rock.
Gaze between sun-touched forget-me-knots
Simple complexity routinely ignored.
Just as the sounds of surrounding spring breeze is looked over.
The yellow buttery center melts into sky colored petals, spiked with sassy white.
Small and insignificant standing alone, nonetheless confidence takes a hold in its’ bunches.
Beauty strikes the eye of imagination
In simplicity the smiles of appreciation break free.
These little things that break our reddening madness are the little things that move us to skip a beat.

Without You
Brianna Ki Jan 2011
I stand there...

See you.

These times are not like time before these now broken nights.

I reach out...

You're close...

So close,

But you are too far away.



Forbidden to stare, Can't even care,

No touch...

I can taste how hell is like.



One tear, Shatters my cracked heart.

Your eyes meet mine...

Finally.

& I can see your soul.



Your eyes hold me ransom to myself,

& freeze me where I stand.



Guarded emotions bring me down to my knees as I take you in.

Timeless kiss... Ends to soon.

You leave me wanting more.

But you are gone.



I'm left empty.

Confused.



Feeling in need of something...

Of you...

You hold the key to my pain,

My love...



You keep my sane.

But I'm left hurt and nothing to gain.



This is me without you.

Dear Heart
Brianna Ki Jan 2010
Dear Heart.
Please take your time to love fall in love again, don’t bail.
Your time will come.
There are those who would **** to see you fail.

Dear Heart.
You are so frail,
Let it go to Jesus.
And he’ll provide you your wings to sail.

Dear Heart.
You are too swift to fall for lies.
Relax assured in the rested truth.
I know you are incredibly wise.

Dear Heart.
I can only do so much for you.
Be strong.
I’m sorry for what I put you through.

Dear Heart.
I can’t promise you won’t hurt anymore,
But one thing I can guarantee
I’ll give you what you need to soar.

Don’t give up on me yet.

Mazed
Brianna Ki Jan 2011
My mind is a maze
Confused and dazed
I turn one way and end up in another direction
Walls so tall enclosing all
Never to show the world
Dark and dreary
Vines capturing my words
Running inside twirling around
Unorganized and lost
My mind is a maze
Confused and dazed

Poetry Mind Vomit
Brianna Ki Apr 2014
The seemingly ungratefulness of this tricky life drives my compulsive mind tumbling into a wild fire of thoughts and sadness

Smashing upon my heart to let go and live what is this heavy chain holding me back, what is there left to lose?

I break free to be cuffed yet again to that **** heavy chain. It's like a glue that is stuck on my soul a leech refusing to budge, ******* it dry.

Life is unfair. Leaving us slaved to its rules.  But my heart won't hush. It's lies feeding my mind like I starve for a different ending as these feelings lead me away.

It can't be this complex. Being worked into my grave.  Whats left to enjoy but to be miserable until death.

Life fuels the fire for my heart to run astray as my mind attempts to water its ruling blaze.

I can't help but wonder if my mind can ***** out my heart's longing to be free. Knowing I can't tame these feelings I try everything to refrain from going insane.

I Do Not Understand
Brianna Ki Jan 2010
I do not understand
Why hearts can be broken
Why it hurts so much when it is
Why I can’t take the feeling

But most of all
I do not understand,
Why I get blamed for all the problems
Why I can’t love anyone else
I try so hard to keep it together
But I fail so terribly I almost don’t make it
Because I can’t ever take you back

What I understand the most is time
If you don’t get enough
Things will never be solved
You can never have your love back
I wish you were mine
All I wanted was time
I do not understand

Chain Poem
Brianna Ki Jan 2011
Hiding away from the world behind a mask
Masking her untouched porcelain face
Face of pain face of hurt
Hurt by the scars and secrets of the past
Past stabbings of her fragile heart
Heart aches at her sacred fate
Fate that kisses her sweet skin and brushes her glossed eyes
Eyes dulled with lost love so beautiful yet disguised
Disguised with her compromise
Compromising her feelings under a blanket of fear
Fear of love fear of hate
Hating you
You in your disgrace

Opposites
Brianna Ki Mar 2011
If you're ice, I'm fire.
You can cool my heart & freeze our desire.

If I'm the dark, you're the light.
When my world is dim, you come in & make it bright.

If you're up, I'm down.
When you see me gloomed you turned it upside down.

When you're left & I'm right.
I point you in the direction & allow you to view through my sight.

You're silver & I'm gold.
Though we don't match.
We're both stunning & beautifully bold.

Though I'm fire & you're ice.
You're left & I'm right.
You can't live your life without my sight.
& I can't live without your light

Dress down
Brianna Ki Nov 2016
I'm in no want of your pressed dress pant disposition

I just need to be the only one in your eyes

Amber Sun
Brianna Ki Jan 2010
I was the amber sun that lit your world so deeply
I wonder if the life we live can ever be the same
I hear your cry in the distance
I see your hurt as you falter to the foundation that crumbles so fragilely beneath you
I want to cement the pieces of your heart together again
I was the amber sun that lit your world so deeply

I pretend this ******* up world was pure and peaceful
I feel hurt by words of stone you threw, but I still know you were hurt too
I touch the faint glass of your picture
I worry I will never get through this…
I cry until I fall asleep at night
I was the amber sun that lit your world so deeply

I understand you say this can and will never be
I say maybe some day
I dream that love is still real
I try to let you go but my heart is still attached
I hope you can still see me in that beautiful light because…
I was the amber sun that lit you world so deeply

Angered..
Brianna Ki Jan 2011
When the light is gone and the darkness consumes,
What is there left for a poor girl to assume?
Nothing of course, that’s why she’s better left alone.
Is that what you think?
Then shame on you!
When her whole world has fallen apart
Shooting arrows, of fire through her black, cold, heart.
Doesn’t do much for her I bet,
So stop pushing her around and bringing her down.
You could just be the cause of her end.
So just STOP!!
What is the matter with you, can’t you see?
You are bringing her down to her knees!
With tears running down her cheeks like rivers flowing through the middle east.
Her pain is not your gain, so just leave her alone.
And maybe just maybe,
She’ll come around, and pay a visit to your home!

Stand Still
Brianna Ki Apr 2014
Can I interrupt time, put it at a standstill? Never let it go?

Sealed within my heart

Savor every second while I’m next to you


At night.

Distance between hearts
Brianna Ki Mar 2017
You've stolen my heart.
It's no longer mine.

Where have you been all of this time..?

As our lives begin to change, I hope our hearts remain the same.

Until our lips can touch,
Please remember that I love you this much.

Distance isn't forever.
But will my soul forget?
For you love,
The answer is, never...

Still feel the heat that burned through my heart

My body moves in tune with your pace.


I can't get enough of what you do
It's all on you.

My Mom & I
Brianna Ki Jan 2011
My bond between a daughter and a mother
In unlike any other,
We’re silly and wild
Like an immature child,
We laugh, we cry
We get through the hard times.
Even though there is no dad,
She is the best friend I never had.
The worst, the good, all the memories,
Will be in our scrapbooks for all coming centuries.

she falls
Brianna Ki Jun 2018
the leaves fall as they die

stars fall to make her wishes come true
her hair when she undresses you

all of these fall,
just like she falls
for you...

My World My Life
Brianna Ki Jan 2011
I walk down the snow covered way
Only hearing the snow screech under each stride
I close my eyes and think of what it used to be like….

The flames of the sizzling fire crackling to each kindle thrown on,
I was happy then
Cocoa & cookies always warmed me up
Life was so easy no worry no cares
I can feel the sun blind me while I sled down the hill
Life’s little pleasures were always so sweet….

I open my eyes to reality again
My world now that is masked with a dull light
I sit down and cry for a while,
I take a deep breath
Walking back home my breath puffed before me
Tears steaming off my face as I wipe them away with my mitten
I get inside & retire for the evening
I look out the window my face wet from weeping
Sigh one last time and close the curtain to call it a night

Bye sweet world you are still quite a sight

Going the Distance.
Brianna Ki May 2014
I couldn't stop tomorrow
believe me I gave it a try
turns out all those moments, are what made time go by.

As I took it all in
the voice inside
fell silenced, content, but extremely alive.

I didn't get enough time within those deep blue eyes
engaging me to want the pleasure of calling them mine.

I'd walk all those miles if it meant I were to see you tonight.
It may aid this determined desire just to stand by your side.

In your arms, my heart must have stayed
because in your arms is where I wish to lay.

I still feel the permanence of your kiss on my lips
I beg that I feel that kiss until the next one I get.

If all I feel is real, can I ask you this one time...?
To keep me within your heart, within your mind
Until our goodbyes turn into only goodnights...

Portrait Poem
Brianna Ki Jan 2011
Green eyed beauty
Love to dance,
Have 5 dogs but I want one more.
Music is my life
Nothing held back!
You wanna go?
Then bring it,
I’ll bring it right back.
Love to live
High school rocks!!
Rock hard with friends,
Wish we could stay out all night.
Poetry flows through me,
My thoughts on paper
My mind could get scary
So don’t try to pry
I don’t mind to cry
Why should I be scared to die?
Boyfriend? Who needs one?
Just stick to being friends
Picture perfect
Model to be,
Head in the clouds
Wants to sleep!
Bright future will be me!
Don’t have a car
But yes the license I do!
I’m fragile
Please don’t break me!
***!! I’M ALMOST A SENIOR!!
Why not leave for the heck of it?
Sounds good to me!
I hate
Raisins
Olives
AND JELLO!! Eww!!
Love to shop! SHOP SHOP SHOP!
Clothes and shoes!!
But don’t forget the purses!! Hehehe
Now you know,
Just the gist of me!

What's this war inside my soul?
Should I stay, or let it go?

Stuck between the pages in my book
I can't decide to blink or take a look.

Love tugging on the strings tearing up my heart
Can't I just ask for this chapter to restart?

What happens if I can't turn the page...?
My soul will forever be trapped in the cage.

Bound forever in this ****** book.

Defeat.

Lingers just enough to get her to sink.

When will his drug leave her veins.
How long this time til she's clean of this..

ELIE
Brianna Ki Jan 2011
As I lay in my bed
I feel you curled in the arch of my knees
Sighing softly
Waiting for me to awake
Once I make the slightest move you’re up and ready
Ready to start the day

I still hear the click clicking of paws on the kitchen tiles
Running to make sure you didn’t miss anything
I still feel the dewy kisses you used to leave on my face

I imagine and remember your fur intertwining my fingers,
The weight of you in my arms

It’s hard to get the others to sing without your whining to start the chain

I can’t look at the stone with your name on it without picturing you becoming the earth
I miss you to the coming of my voice
“Cookies” and “let’s go bye bye”
It’s not the same without you here
“Go get him, Elie” I hope you are watching down on me
Dedicated to a furry friends Elie
RIP love u

Her heart only has so much room
So many moved in and moved on through

Leaving stains that bruised.

But feels ashamed she had to move on too.

What if they can't handle what she's been through?

What can her poor heart do?

When will you ever see?

Grasping at a goal so unattainable

Scarred Stars
Brianna Ki Mar 2015
I gaze up at these stars
Are you looking too?
They make me think of you...

I remember the warmness of you playing against the coolness of the grass dewed

Air so cooled, I watched your puffs of breath get taken away by me

I swear I felt your heart beat shake the ground we layed upon

Was it your scent that intoxicated me?
Or that crisp air spinning my head around

Or was it my thoughts.... Of you?

Those stars scarred the inward parts of me
Burned the memory on me...

                                                           Of you...

Not feeling loved
Not wanting the help to get up

Hurt where the sun can’t touch my soul,
Hurt ‘till I can’t feel no more

When we're apart once the sun goes to sleep
Take a look up at the moon with me

Whisper under your breath "I love you"
As I long of saying "I love you too"

Look up at the moon with me
Alone we won't be
See what I see
To be with me.

Taking my heart when we glance up to the moon at the same moment in time
Ungluing parts of my life I can no longer call mine

Look up at the moon with me so we can fall asleep...

Dreaming
Brianna Ki Jan 2010
My dream is quietly sleeping on the white beach dreaming of you
I’ve seen you there a thousand times
I’ve hoped you’d approach by me, sweeping me away into the distance
I’ve tried to run to you but you get farther and farther away
I’ve wished things were different as the sun makes my surrounding unclear
I’d like to be that girl you adore in your arms
Because you seem to love more than the others
I’ve waited in this dream forever, but the love is washed with the waves
I’ve lived this more than words can say, but my feelings never change
I’d be happy if I could only touch your face, but you are always so far away
I’d help you in your bashful ways to open to the world a whole other way
My dream is quietly sleeping on the white beach dreaming of you

My Best Friend
Brianna Ki Jan 2011
I search to unearth the words that justify what you are to me.
But all I really need is to open my eyes
and look deep down and see.
That everything that I have become is how you’ve molded my heart.
It hurts to grasp the fact that we will be apart.
Like a piece of glass lost at the bottom of the sea
true friends are hard to find.
But I realize now that, that friend is you, and I’m so grateful that you are mine.
There comes a point when best friends become sisters
and that bond can never break.
Filled with truth, honesty, faith and love
A friendship only God can make
We can’t be separated for a day, how will it be for a year?

You Are...
Brianna Ki Oct 2010
In one whisper you say it all, with words yet unspoken
With one whisper you make my skin crawl.
The warmth of your lips that lightly touch me,
Make me fall irresistibly in love,
With you,
Again and again.
The tenderness of your touch sweetly embraces me
Into a deep serenity.
You are my heart that thrives,
You are the whispers I hear at night,
Whispers striving to stay alive,
I want you and no one else,
Though there are trials that come and go,
You always will have a piece of my heart.
I can’t say we will always be together,
But I can say this…
You are my everything…
You are the whisper that speaks in the night,
You are the love that strives to keep me alive…
I can’t wait to hold you in my arms one more time…
You are…

Breakdown

Your smile allows my heart to fly.
Take me away.
Mean what you say.
I'm not in this for the game...

If you want me here,
Please tell me dear
Or I will be gone soon...

If you gave your word away,
I can not stay

My pain won't subside
So please allow these tears to dry...

Deep Purple
Brianna Ki Jan 2011
What I feel like when thoughts I have of you wander through mind.
Day by day the sensation that lurks through the ever so deep and long cold halls.
The deep consciousness that strikes the failing heart going to rest

The aroma of trickling juice running down a peachy child’s chin.
The thick humid air you smell on a raw day when the rain just stopped

The fuzzy velvet impressions between your fingers as you hold your lover close.
Flavor of soft lips flushed and longing, waiting for that special someone to touch.

The creeping behind you making you look around,
The sound of the piano being hardly played,
The wishing you could get away,
The surprise waiting around the corner…

Deep and purple…
