Softly, now
Break me softly
Leave but your musings to the breeze
Let me revel in the tears I weep
Gently, now
Push me gently backward
With those hold-me-and-grow-old hands
Brush me aside like embraces were sand
Quickly, now
Quickly cut the ties
Do not stay to watch me crumble
Do not wait to hear me lie

Ex
My ex-boyfriend is smart
He can talk about anything
He teaches me things
He's enlightening
And he sparks my interest in worldly topics
I wouldn't otherwise think about

My ex-boyfriend is kind
He's understanding
He's sensitive
He's supportive
And he comforts me in ways
Others really can't

My ex-boyfriend is easy to look at
He has nice hair
He has a cute face
He has sweet eyes
And a sincere smile
That makes you want to smile back

Nowadays, on the rare occasions
He and I get to hang out
I find myself questioning
Why it is I left him in the first place
Not much of a poem, but just random thoughts I have as I see my ex move on to someone new. I wouldn't say I want him, but I guess I forgot for a little while how great he truly is. He will always have a special place in my heart. He was my first, after all.

Your voice is angelic
& Nightingale-like,
it soothes me
into a frenzied-state
of unimaginable pleasure.

The formation of your
sweet precious lips
& your spoken desires
makes me hotter
than a white fire.

I do not fight
the temptations
of your raw soul,
for I know
how you feel
deep inside,
with a mouthful
of your command.

It's simply exquisite
& you might say,
"Yes, it's absolutely delicious!"
One,
who comprehends the Tao,
can begin to emulate the Tao,
and, thus,
must expend less mortal Energy
to attain more elevated ends.

This tends to translate
to less stress, less strife;
to more harmony and happiness:

Tao is not God
(except, perhaps, metaphorically);
Tao is merely the Way.
Tao is how and why.
Tao is because is is.
I once read
That in 7.6 billion years
The sun
Having reached its maximum size
Will shine 3,000 times brighter
Than it does now
I have always wondered
How it is possible
To know such a thing
When 100 years
Is beyond a lifetime
How we could possibly
Look so far into the future
When now seems like an eternity
And tomorrow is miles away
How can we embrace the moment
When we are constantly being told to plan ahead
And what's the point
Of waiting 7.6 billion years
When the sun is already
Shining
And the moon
Already loves her?

I like 10 word poems because it forces you to summarize your thoughts  to the point where you're really only saying what you mean.
Maybe I should try using that same theory in my own life, haha.

I wanna fire you in my veins;
have you ruin my life
I want you to be the cancer, baby
I have to cut out with a knife
Hello my forgotten hymn
I can hear you in my head
I can see your face again
