Senses
Love is of the senses
All six of them
Some think it's only recognised
When you feel it in your heart
This is mostly true
But the other senses contribute
You can't leave them out

My mother's cookies. 
I love them.
I truly do
But I love them mostly
With my taste buds

Colors. 
I wouldn't be who I am
Without colors. 
But I love them mostly
With my eyes

My friends. 
They mean more to me
Than anyone could understand
And this is where most people define love
The love I have for my friends
Is similar to the one I have for my family
Unconditional
Indescribable
And even when they're gone
They're still there
In your heart
Where you feel the love you have for them. 
And that's how you know love
When they're around
You enjoy their presence as much as anything else
You savour all the memories
Make them into jokes that only you understand

But even if you like having someone around
You have inside jokes
Memories
It's not love if you don't feel it. 
Feel. Understand. Love. 
With all your senses.

Puppies vs. Kangaroos
I do not know how you see
A peeing puppy you want me to be
But I would rather have big feet
And a long tail on my seat
A pouch to hold my things

Puppies
You can always find them peeing
Ah wanna be a f*ing kangaroo
But because of stupid puppy lovers like you
My dreams'll never come true
Sydnay Adams Phillips wrote this poem as an inside joke of ours

Running
I feel like I'm running
But I have nowhere to go
The last thing I wanted to do
Was leave
But my mind
Was made up
I had to get out

The phrase
it's not you, it's me
could work
If I felt like being nice
it's not me, it's you.
Would be a lot more accurate
Because I did nothing

You don't beat me
You don't bruise me
But you do torture me
When you don't speak
Your words made us last
But now that they're gone
There's no place for me
Anymore

A simple I love you
With a serious tone
Yet sweet
Went a long way
But something
Made you stop
Please come back
I miss who you used to be

Just So You Know
Poems are not always a rhyme
as a lot of people can tell
because trying to find a rhyme for every word
can put someone through hell

I prefer the kinds
that do not rhyme
they seem to be deeper
though they might not always
flow
as nice
they tend to grab me
pull me in
make me thing
and examine

Poems don't have to be nice
Poems don't have to be sweet
Poems are your thoughts
actions
words
Poems are you
Poems are expression
in one of many forms
Poems are whatever you make them

Why
Why
Why do I write these words
Type these words
Think these words?
Because I know not how else to say
The things I think
Somehow this language
These rhymes
These pauses
These emotions
Have the power
To make someone think
Deeply
Into themselves
To find meaning
In everyday life
Whatever that meaning might be

Train of Thought
We met in such
A different way
Not like many others
We were dares
to approach you
The taker would be paid three dollars
So the friend to my left
Gave in finally
She ran up and startled you
Then walked away swiftly
Which left only you
And me

You looked so confused
I though it only right
That I explain what
had occurred
So I took a seat beside you
And tried to keep my train
Of thought going
In one direction
But the tracks ahead became
Blurred

As we continues
To talk and question
I felt more at ease
Like I've known you
Forever
I felt strangely pleased

My train escaped again
And again
When I looked at you
You sent my mind
Into the future
With visions of me
And you
You would think
I'd feel unloved
Because I'm always against the ground
But in fact
I prefer this view
It's quite nice if you know where to look

Most would see
The filth
The grime
The chaos
But I see
The textures
The colors
The secret passageways
The places leading nowhere
And everywhere

You never know
Where we'll go
Or what we'll see
But I manage to see things
Differently
Maybe it's because
My speed is faster
Than yours
Everything passes
In a flash

The world seems different
When you're right
On
The
Ground

Was Once a Text
I don't know how easy this is
For you to understand
But the butterflies go crazy
When I only hold your hand
You make my heart soar
To brand new heights
And I want to be with you
Through all the cold nights
I've never felt this way
About anyone I know
I've heard it in a song
But your heart is my home
Love
You're so far away from me
And I wish you'd never leave
But when the clock strikes that fateful time
I'll have to heave a sigh
And say "goodnight" this time
Because even though you'll leave my presence
I know that you will always be mine

Doors
I'm trapped
Inside a house
With a million
Rooms
But behind
Some doors
Only darkness
Looms

Every room I
Enter
Is a chapter
Of my life
But it's always
A gamble
When there was
A lot
Of strife

Ever had
A day
You wanted to last
Forever?
Well in this house
Days never end
Ever.

But the room
You enter
Makes all the
Difference
But all the doors look
The same
Nothing varied
In their appearance

A place like this
Would drive most people
Crazy
But it's
A constant reminder
Of how I've been
So lazy

The thing I like
Most of all
Is the space
Between
The Door and
The wall

The door frame
Is the best place
Of all
It reminds me how old
I was
And even
How tall

But my only
Wish
Is to go back
In my past
To fix all the bad
I have to relive
So I can make good times
Last
This poem, I have given to Sydney Adams Phillips
The boy across the room
He thinks you're really sweet
Why don't you go say "hi?"
Because you are too shy.

He gets up out of his seat
And starts to come my way
I feel my face turn hot
And I hope he has something to say
But then he stops short
To talk to the girl in front
I bury my face in my book again
Trying to hide a grunt

But that's when he walks away
And towards me once again
And that's when I remembered
That girl's his cousin!
I get flustered again
He's coming down the isle
Then he looks me in the eye
And smiles that god-sculpted smile
I'm positive this time
He's coming for me
But I can't look away
What's *wrong
with me?!
But still
I don't know what he wants
My mind is racing
Is he going to ask me out?
Are we going to start dating?

That's when he leans close

And whispers in my ear

"Can I borrow a pencil?"

"Yeah.... Here.."

Life
Everyone's here
For a special reason
Though some don't know what it is
And during the journey
To find it
You could find disaster
or bliss

Life is different for everyone
No matter what it turns out
To be
Some people love it, some not so much
Or some on and off
Like me

Throughout your life
There will probably be
Someone that isn't there for you
I can not promise
I'll always be there
but I can say I'll always love you

When we're young
We want to be older
When we're old
We want to be younger
But no matter what age
We should be ourselves
And leave no song
Unsung

— The End —
