Precipitation
I felt the raindrops
Hit my lungs
Like a cigar
I wasn't supposed to wholly inhale
But I breathed deeply
As if the earth were a hookah
With endless coals
Lit
As the street lights
Illuminated each drop
I only missed
One or two

you told me you loved
well if thats true why did
you leave
i'm broken and my heart
is shattered and i',m struggling
to pick up the pieces
you trampled on them
as you left

dew drops
rain drops
lemon drops
dropped ball
drop kick
side kick
kick in the ***
*******
*******
jack of all trades
jack of hearts
heartache
heartbreak
break my heart
break up
up your ***
up up and away

i love words.

I got them
You do to
Why can't we
Settle this feud
One on one
Like there is none
In our heads
If you
Happy
So am I
How will I know
If you keep them
locked away with your
mouth zipped
Eyes shut

Cinderella
walked on broken glass
Aurora
let a whole lifetime pass
Belle
fell in love with a hideous beast
Jasmine
vowed her marriage to a common thief
Ariel
ventured on land above
Snow White
barely escaped the knife

Because bearing a life of LOVE
**means overcoming all aspects of strife

Born
I've been gone
for long
thinking about tales
living lies
aches

I've brought you stories
of
escalating hurt
unspoken words
transparent shadows

bear with me
while I shade some of these
bare truths

us humans
who love to see the desperate
cling to these fragile life

us humans
who've grown used to horror
you think there is no other way

us humans
who seek freedom
to commit mistakes,
sometimes we don't have a choice
and sometimes we do

us humans
extremely, afraid of death
who do you turn to
when the night is at its darkest

Many poems I read seem so sad
The poems fills your eyes with tears
This doesn't mean the poems are bad
But sometimes a poem should be filled with cheer

There is so much beauty to write about
Not just lost love, fears, screams and shouts

A poem can be about
Flowers or trees
A poem can be about
Crystal blue seas

A poem can be about
a ring of smoke
Or a beautiful girl
Or about the beauty
We find in this world

If I fall
I doubt anyone would care

And if they did,
They'd probably be
Relieved

Not concerned

More of a
"Finally,
She's gone"
Sort of thing

Not a
"Oh no,
She's slipping"
Sort of thing

But if for some odd reason
You see me falling
And want to help

Just walk away
Just let me fall

You can't catch me
I'm too heavy
From the weight of
Lies and regrets

We would both fall then
And it would be my fault

So if you see me falling
Follow your instinct,
*And just walk away

I vouch to
Be your perfect
Version
What you like
In a woman
What you learn from
Her
How you treat her ?
Like a queen
Or some slave ??

Her
You spend time with her
Wherever she goes
Your with her
You laugh with her
Touch her
Most of all play games against her
I'm the
Invisible line
That has cuts and has bleed
Yes I'm not her
But I'm myself
I don' t come on strong
Like she tens to be
You help her with simple things
SHe does your work from easy - Hard
I'm not any help to you
Am I only worth ur attention cuz of my smile ?
Or is it that you
Need
  Not want ....  
Continue to spend this time with her
I never even had the moments she's had
But let me remind you that
  I care more and do it out of kindness
Not because I have to
Well I feel lke I still like a friend of mine and there s girl thats a friend too but she hangs out with him way more than I do and Its something I never had with him so it makes me feel un special

.
In the seas of night,
I wish to be with you,
Naked in a bed under stars,
All ocean and wake of dream,
For a true journey into the soul,
Fleshed out and wholly dispersed
Within the sheerness of locked peace,
Under the nearset stars of living light,
We could be, truly knowing in that air
And our eyes would climb, bursting
Into new heavens, hot in embrace,
Circle as we row among palms
And cheek joined with bliss
To a bed of touching love
Made for that journey
Beyond all reason,
Into the sun.

Can you hear that?
Time passing
Without a care?

Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock

Can you feel that?
Your time,
That's slowly running out?

Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock

Can you see that?
How long it's been
Since they texted back?

Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock

Have you felt this?
Clocks slowly
Counting your days
Hours
Minutes
Seconds

Till you're gone
Listen to them

Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock

Time is short
Make the most of it
