Erenn
Translucent yet transparent 
Simplicity in its eminence 
Fragile yet fervid to uphold
Reflections sometimes blur to unfold
In any shape or size, manifold
Don't get blinded by the blinding lights
Beauty in its elegance, be mesmerized
Refracting spectrum of rainbows
Emmiting the colors of alluring ardor
Rays of sun burning stains of tallowed sorrows
With H2O and soap, impurities gone

Akin to your heart 
That could break anytime
Fragile in its name, 
Maimed, stained with pain
Pumping but barely breathing
Only you can choose 
To fill it full or to drink it all
To die or live again.

Just like the glass the heart could break anytime. You can filled it with all kinds of emotions. When it's too much you can either drink it all or don't. There's always a choice. Inspired by a Japanese film I watched. I can't remember the name.hha

These are the lies we've broken
and the promises we've told.

Sing to me freedom,
fight for the song.

Surrender to the King,
bow to the battle.

Drink the blood
and spill the poison.

Confused by your words.
Tell them softly.
No questions allowed.

I hate trying to write for the public
because I always seem to let myself down
especially when my writing sounds ******
I pride myself on something so many people can do better
than myself
I love people
who don't care
I find joy in the complexities of life
shouldn't life be simple?
shouldn't love be simple?
I hate trying to please people
I hate trying to live someone else's life
so I don't
if no one reads this poem
if no one wants to
than I say
don't.

Sometimes,
I don't listen
to the words you speak.
Instead, I watch
as your lips curve
and shape each sssound.
Sometimes,
I don't hear
a word you've said,
but I agree
with every breath
you've drawn between them.

You and I
Are water and salt:
Needing one another
Separately,
To live,
But dying of thirst
If taken together.

Pamella
Two vowels
one word,
two eyes
one world.

"Hello", you said,
as you caught me blushing
under a cherry blossom tree

Little did we know
that it was the start;
cupid's arrow went straight through my heart
Because darling, I knew,
you'll take my hand
and take the world in two's.

Entry no. 1: Hello!

Everything starts at hello. So as I thought I should. I hope you, yes you, lovely stranger, would come and take an adventure with me. And it all starts with this. (And the follow button perhaps - I am totally new to this thing). Thank you.

Every time I walk into the line I can only hope to run into you like I've  done before.
Your smile brightens up my day and
In your conversation I could forever stay.
Will you be my Starbucks lover?
We could grab some coffee and lattes,
talk about our lives and mistakes.

Cause I want to be the peppermint to your mocha, the pumpkin spice to your latte, the caramel to your macchiato.
We could compliment each other.
I just want your sweet company and I'll wait in line patiently.
Written about a cutie I like to bump into at Starbucks.

when my son was younger
he asked -

how old are the mountains
from where did the First People come
why does the sun sleep in the ocean
what is the color of rain

now that my son is older
stronger, wiser and bolder
he asks -

how old are the mountains...
...what is the color of rain


some things don't change.
