Tears are said to taste salty,
But I would never know,
For I wipe them briskly away,
So they'll never show.

Love is supposed to be healthy,
And give you all that you need;
Not stab you where it hurts,
And make your heart bleed.

Voices are of encourgement,
To boost up your day;
But now, all they do is spread rumors,
And no one knows what to say.

Nothing is right anymore,
And this world has turned to hell,
No one is safe here,
And even God isn't left to tell.
We were good friends once,
you and I .
Remember? All those
good times we had...

I looked you up today,
and I hurt for you.
Part of me wanted to go back
and save the parts you lost.

I can't help you anymore.
You ache and I plead.
Just get better, okay?
I can't stand feeling guilty.

You wished death upon me,
but I saw you wither away instead.
Eat, darling, and remember those
midnight coffee runs.

Take a trip to Starbucks,
I know your order still...
Just order my old usual,
and grace your lips with food.

You've destroyed the girl I
had once known well.
It's okay, just get better,
because I can't stand to see you ill.

Lacy palm trees held the sky,
And below that ocean flowed on by,
Tiny seashells left on the cool sand;
And all around Twilight settles on all the land.

Salty breezes filled the air,
And I loved it there,
Sitting on the shore all day;
Gazing at the ocean, a million miles away.

The breezes begun a symphony,
Some sweet and nostalgic melody,
Played to the setting sun;
Our orchestra to me it seemed had just begun.

I breathed in the tranquility,
Of the ocean's harmony,
I was watching the sunset;
Where dreams and time had met.

Seated there upon the cool sand,
Lemonade in hand,
I was breathing in the its beauty;
Of a daydream in nostalgic harmony.

I don't want this moment to fade,
When the hibiscus on the shore balled,
I want to stay there forever;
I don't want this to end...ever!

Another one of my ocean poems!!
Sorry, but I couldn't help it!!
I love nature especially the ocean!!! :) ~<3
you feel like blasphemy
(our love is sacred)
your lips gently whisper prayers across my skin but
the way you say my name illuminates our biblical fate
and this sin becomes easy
Here, beneath your holy weight
I am no longer afraid of what I might weather
behold, the storm of oblivion
behold, a sulfur lake engulfed in an eternity of flame
I know, only now-
that hell could not match
the heat
between your skin
and mine.

"I didn't think you where that kind of girl,"
this is something you said,
and it cuts into my mind
and I realize I have no idea
what kind of girl
I am
when i have been gone
for a very long time
i hope you find me
in these blue lined pages-
and if you find me
i hope you could make room
in the simple parts
of your heart
to forgive me
and keep me safe
i speak let's say i speak and let's say i sing
whatthen?i sing; i say
whitely of your lips
i sing by them
i am lifted by them

they come beneath each foot
they come their strongness leaping
they come, and Dear, you
by them you charge

and Dear

against them Summer's dull

it shines not
it heats not
it feels not sudden or serene

for though it golden rushing thunders
your lips are far more perfect wonders
