You deserve it, you're a gentle soul, your beauty it shines because you're a person of love. You've been broken and damaged, bruised and beat, but now he's here, to love and to cherish. He will never leave, he's yours to love. He loves you too, his eyes show that well enough. This love you've received, you deserve my beautiful friend, the pain you've endured has come to pass. Let your man kiss your wounds, and mend your healing heart

Day
in your bed
the sweetest of sleep
in your arms
the truest of peace
close my eyes
hear, please dream of me
darling,...

I always do

Cherisse May
We wake up, opening our eyes
And basking in the sunlight
Or not; burying ourselves out of sight
And the silence replaced with sighs.

And despite a horrible morning,
We end up chanting a mantra hoping
That somehow the day gets better
Or negativity a tad bit lesser.

As we reach school, we face
Numerous formulas and boards
All with problems in hoards
And an anxiety that stays.

And as class ends our eyes meet
And a smile creeps up to my face
And of course, you never missing a beat
About the heat on my cheeks

But I pretend I feel nothing
Because by the end of the day
I pretend we were something-
No, I’m just another idiot today.

The day you told me
You believed in me
Was the day my brain thought
“I guess I’m not that flawed”

Because you were the guy
Who everyone painted as dangerous
And to be friends with you,
I couldn’t get myself to buy.

I gave you what I thought I could give you:
Thoughts, words, promises
And yet I realized now
How stupid I actually am.

I believed in an us:
Something we could’ve been
I believed I was something, somehow significant
And unfortunately I was wrong.

I can’t write poems
Or sing good enough to be acknowledged
Or draw pictures of what we could’ve been
Or have talent, simply because I can't be your type.

I can’t write poems
Because I’m a complete failure
In typing and scribbling out words
To even create something comprehensive.

I can’t write words
To string up to create a poem
Because I can’t even think straight
Because I can’t think of anything.

I can’t write poems-
No, I don’t write poems
Because I can’t tell you-
No, I love you, I love you, I loved you.

Hands entwined perfectly
Fingers tracing the fine lines of my palms
Our stares not once abandoning one another
Lips briefly caressing every moment possible
Words were hardly spoken our presence of each other was enough for both of us


Then I blinked
and it was all but a haunting memory again
10/12/17
That day was the best day to happen to me
But it turned out to be a tormenting memory
I can not shake
I wish more than anything I can forget you and that memory

I see you
Walking towards me

I’m grinning
Checking you out

Butterflies in my belly
While you’re with me

We kiss
And you take my breath away

If this is love
I don’t want it to end…

I’m here alone
But you’re in my thoughts

I yearn for my medicine
That is what you are

We talk
And I forget all my worries

Your voice
Is music to my soul

If this is love
I’m glad I found it…

I feel safe
Knowing I have you by me

When I’m with you
I can see us together grey and old

I’m content
Knowing I have the best

When I’m not with you
I can’t stop thinking about you

I hope this is love
I want it forever

Your whole being is poetry,
from the way you talk,
the way you walk,
the way your lips,
form wrinkles,
each time you smile,
from your deafening silence,
to your soft voice,
poetry,
when you put your arms around me,
bringing me warmth,
against my cold, melancholic body,
when you hold my hand,
making me feel less lonesome,
making the moment grand,
you're poetry,
complex yet subtle,
defined yet undefined,
and I'm just a hopeless poet,
hopelessly trying to decipher,
hopelessly trying to write,
the ambiguous,
you.
uhhmmm hi! I'm new to this community and I would very much appreciate your criticism on my writing.

Sweet Serendipity
You hang the shining stars in my sky and paint the delicate moon with sweet words.
The twinkle of your eyes reflect against the pale moon gleam and I think I have found my universe in your eyes.
You're oh so divine and I wouldn't mind spending a lifetime by your side.

i want to kiss her. not because i want to feel the softness of her fair lips or the warmth of her breath as she exhales against me. i want to kiss her because i can’t think of any other way to fully express the beauty that she is. i want her to know that i see her as perfect. that she is perfect.
