Arms to hold us up
when our legs buckle
from under us
and lips to kiss us
good morning.

kaye
tell me about your first love,
when it was all about soft kisses and rough kisses and sweaty palms.
remember that time when it was all about looking in each other's eyes and promising to never say goodbye,
when you walked it to places to pass the time?
oh god, you watched movies but didn't pay attention to the screen,
all you ever wanted was each other's company
and everything in between.

tell me about the day it all fell apart.
how it ended with not two, but just one broken heart.
tell me how the tears flowed relentlessly,
how your hands were shaking and you kept being on your knees.
tell me about how begging for him to stay never worked out,
how you felt so stupid and ******* it,
how could you live without him now?
where were his sweet words and false promises?
where were his "i love you's" and "there's no one else's"?
all you ever wanted was the only thing he could never give,
you knew it from the start, but **** it,
you never thought he would actually leave.
he sounded so sincere with his rhymes and letters
and handwritten poetry,
but first loves always felt so real til he says,
"i don't love you anymore,
i'm sorry"

When his intellect attracts you more than his physique
And that his knowledge nourishes your thirst to acquire them
When the search for some brain food goes beyond the physical and create mental and energetic understanding
Staring at me in the eyes that he thinks innocent that I'm
He repeats to me that he is too old as I shall say as the blind and novice he thought I was

You
I know you
But I don't know
Who you are

I want to know.

I want to know
Everything about you
From your favorite color
To the things you only speak of
In the darkness of the night.

Now,
I only know
How your dimples
Brighten your face when
I make you smile and
Then your cheeks turn red
And you make me feel
Like a prince

But then I remember
You'd never let me know
You'd never let me see inside

It's just because I'm different
And you're not.

AM
He sits in a bar,
And the tears in his eyes dry.
He orders something sour,
to cover the bile.

As his throat burns,
the feeling in his chest screams in agony,
it wants to come out,
but it doesn't know how to leave.

He drinks in her name,
trying to forget her kisses,
and all of those damaging caresses.

But her face appears as an angel in distress
Oh how much he missed it.

He tries to stand up,
and help her fix her wings,
so that maybe she can fly.
Yet, she only laughs,
as he stumbles and tries.

He rubs his eyes and she is gone,
another sour drink.
He doesn't want to be alone.

He begs to see her one more time.
His head spins,
and he starts to cry.

Where did she go?
She didn't say good-bye.

I will follow you
I will chase you
I will hunt you
Never shall I give up
All I am is a heavy heart and an empty soul
All I need is you

Lost love
1000 nights of you
500 days without you
It only took one day to fall in love with you.
Im glad I share it with you.
I love you.

WOMEN OF COLOUR
WHAT’S YOUR FLAVOUR
GALLANTLY TRIUMPHANT
EXOTIC COMFORTS
MAN-MADE FIBRES
AS IT TRIGGERS
THE JOY OF THE WORLD
FOR EVERY BOY AND GIRL
WOMEN THAT WOULD SHARE
OF ECLETIC HAIR
LONG OR SHORT
TO SUIT ALSORTS
‘TIS NOT THEIR OWN
FROM SOMEONE ELSE’S HOAN
ENDLESS SPRAYS AND CREAMS
TO MAKE IT SHEEN
FEELING THE FLOW
OF SOMEONE ELSE’S GLOW
ON TO THEIR HEAD
CHANGING IMAGES OF STEAD
IMAGINERY FALSE
JOIN TO THE PULSE
OF THIS SURPLUS ENERGY
AND SYNERGY
FOLLOWING FASHION
ENDLESS CONFUSION
FULL OF EMOTION

TIME TO MAKE A STAND
FORGET ABOUT TOWING THE BAND
BE PROUD OF ONE SELF
NATURALLY, AND NOT ON THE SHELF
WITHIN THE EXISTENCE
AND BEING PERSISTANT
CLAMPERING OFF THE MOTHER SHIP
AND THE WHIPS
CENTURIES OF CONFUSION
ALMOST AN ILLUSION
MOVING FORWARD TO NOW
HOW TIME HAS GROWN
TO BE ACCEPTED
AS TO BE EXPECTED
THE WAY TO BEGIN
LOOKING DEEP WITHIN
TIMES ENDLESS STRUGGLES
AND MOVING BATTLES
THE DREAM IS HERE
IN THE INNERMOST STRASTOSPHERE
BEING PROUD
SAY IT ALOUD
COMING TOGETHER
LIVING NATURAL FOREVER
THE HUMAN BODY
IS NOT SHODDY
IT IS THE ONE LIFE
OF STRIFE
IN AN EVER CHANGING ENTITY
FROM NOW TO ETERNITY
LOOKING TO SYMBOLISM
USING THE WISDOM
TO BE ACCEPTED AS YOU ARE
THE WORLD TRULY CARES

ONE LIFE ONE LOVE

PEACE

And so here we are
Page after page
Hearts on fire
Exposing parts unseen
Beneath harden surfaces
Wounds unclean
Broken still we dream
On and on we pen
And so we breathe again
I never realized until you left, that I missed you.seeing you everyday, taking it for granted, that you would always 've here.never dreaming that one day you would walk away without a word.your perfume penetrates the air I breathe, lingering ad a reminder of your presence. Your photograph stares out at me with a pleading glance to 'love you', and I , never doubting your sweet love, would not give you the reassurance or mine! I can't erase the thought of you being gone. and that I must live without you.
I think I did really well with this poem

I looked over, and by chance
I saw you
You came to visit our school for the day
Because you were thinking about moving there
I thought you were pretty attractive
But I knew you would never think that of me
I started being nice to you, because of the kindness in my heart
Like when you smiled at me, I smiled back
And even when you couldn't find the restrooms, I showed you
When J came up to say "hi", I introduced you
Little did we know that we would become best friends
Let a year go by, and I'm in sixth grade with J
You were in seventh, but we still had class
You told stories of how you came to this world, and saw J
A little poor boy on the side of the river, his eyes a light blue
You said you adopted J, then went out for more exploring
About a month later, you said, is when you saw me
A little imp, lost and confused, with gleaming grey eyes
You said that's how we became family
J and I, brother and sister,
While you were the father holding us together
But you knew that wasn't true
You knew that it was really I who was the glue between us
Holding together the girl who acted like a boy,
The kind and gentle Californian-looking boy,
And yourself, the obnoxious but sweet new kid
But we were inseparable, no  matter the differences
Skip another year ahead, when J and I were in seventh
And you were in eighth, the last year of the school
We tried to make it work
But alas, we were doomed to shatter
I was a girl
J a boy and you a boy
It would never last forever
We were still friends, but no longer "the trio of classmates"
No longer best friends
And as you graduated, I could hardly keep my tears from flowing
J squeezed my arm, too sad to have sanity
Before you left the building,
You engulfed us in one last group hug
Before walking into the future
Leaving J and I behind, forever
The year after, it didn't feel the same
There was always a hole in my heart,
Yelling because I had lost a part of me
I had lost one of my best friends
Forever
To W. I will never forget you, and I hope you do well in life. Maybe we will meet again.

Love
You see
A person only truly falls in love
Once in their life time
And once that time is used up
There is no more.
You can lie to yourself
And to others
But if you were truly in love with them
That love cannot be undone.
I am in love.
A love that won't go away
With my best friend.
I fell off
The bridge of love
And into the waters
Where he followed
But his love came with strings attached
A bungee
And he jumped back up
And left me sitting there in the waters
While he's up on the bridge
Calling me up there
While I'm wishing him down here
And I have no bungee.
It's a mess.

DC raw love
What would you do
If no one loved you

Would you cry
or
Would you sigh

Love

Do you care
or
Do you swear

Do you look for love
or
Do you hide from love

Do you want it
or
Do you need it

Do you know what love means
Real love
Never ending love

are you a hopeless romantic
or
romantically wanting love

What are the feeling of no love

are they silent
or
are they loud

are they sharing thoughts
or
are they lonely thoughts

do you have thoughts of joy
or
do you have thoughts of nothing

do you smile
or
do you cringe

do you want it
or
not

It's actually not that hard to find

JUST LOVE ANOTHER
LOVE ANOTHER
