J - Hello Poetry

J May 2014

"I memorized your scent" you said as I walked into the room.
Looking through my lashes, I saw you smirking.
As our eyes met, I chuckled.
"Oh, really?" I replied.
I've memorized yours a while ago.
I've memorized your laugh and your smile.
But I couldn't tell you -- instead I just nod and keep the love I have for you
Tucked away in a jelly glass jar;
Safe,
Hidden away on a shelf in my bedroom.

this is a part 2 of a poem I wrote a while back called Translucency

Gravity

As I floated into the night sky
Near the stars
Near the heavens
I wondered if you were looking up
Thinking of me
Because I, as the little piece of sky that I am,
Looked down
Thinking of you;
The little piece of ground that you are.

Midnight rambles

Although my heart aches for you, the stars stay the same.
They do not mourn over my aching soul that weeps in sorrow.
Nay, they stay painted on the night’s sky looking down --
They feel no pain nor grief as I bend over in agony
Reminiscing the way your silhouette would stand in the doorway
Although my heart cries with loss
Although my soul weeps
The stars stay the same.

Yellows and Oranges

Your hands are cold,
But they are able to make
Even the smallest touch
Onto skin
Spark into flames

Willow

I have gnawed your name onto the inside of my cheek
Like carving love notes on willow trees
And I have painted your portrait on the back of my eyelids
Romanticizing the outline of your jaw
Like an artist would his brush
And my skin remembers every brief moment when
Your hand and would brush against mine
Like the leaves on the willow tree
With your name
Carved into
Its bark

Old-Soul

I am fire.
I am wind.
I am water.
I am the soil beneath your feet.
I am eternal.

Translucency

I want to put the love I have for you
Inside a jelly glass jar and seal the lid
So every time I pass by
I can take a glance at the feelings I have for you
Tucked away up on a shelf;
Safe.
