Never share your poetry
With people who don’t care
Never talk with those
Whose minds are only halfway there.

Never cram assignments,
Never self-abhor,
Know that if you don’t stand up
Next week they’ll push you more.

Never trust your calculator,
Always have a pen;
That way you can vandalize,
And flee the class again

Do not trust the humans,
Never lie to love,
Listen when they talk to you
But keep your head above.

Through the walls of narrow minds
walk the paths they guide
within these walls
the sparrow finds
a nest to feed it's pride
burdens drag as dusk descends
sleep may hold the key
for in the dark
the bravest bend
the weak a chance to see
follow that which follows you
pull the deepest root
dilemma soon must leave the nest
to bear forbidden fruit

i brush my teeth and think of you,
i wish you’d go to hell.

perhaps to stop these sorts of thoughts
my soul i’d have to sell

Driving to work (and you), I hope
my tires pop in hell.

you see that bright green traffic light??
can go to hell as well.

I do not need these feels for you
i wish they'd go to hell.

i have them, though i pray to God
that you would never tell

a battle plan: all thoughts of love
to hell, to hell, to hell!

away with all soft feelings,
they can rot away in hell!

a category i’ll reserve
for online texts- in hell!

my smiles, hair-twirls, stupid laughs,
i’ll send them off to hell!

i’m ready: all my loving words,
safe stowed- my heart shan’t swell!

your footsteps round the corner-

so,
my logic goes to hell.

And I don't know if I miss the time when love songs' "you" didn't have a name,
Or if I like it when every "him" conjures up an image of your face.

And we kiss.
And in my mind I see stars and lovely seas that look like sunsets.
And I can feel my pulse and it feels like a song.
And then your hands are in my hair.
And warmth pours into my mouth that is like honey and everything sweet in the world.
And you make me feel like a winter flower. Strong enough to withstand the cold.
And my heart feels all fluttery like a moth enclosed between someone's hands.
And there's ice running though my veins but it doesn't hurt. It's a good chill.
And my back arches like the curve of the moon.
And your fingertips are like soft petals tickling down my spine.
And your hair feels like soft strands of sunshine between my fingers.
And all of you is sun shine.
And we kiss.

i want a love that captures me like a hurricane
one that is all-consuming

so i can't tell where you end
and where i begin

so that the beating of our hearts
is as loud as the thunder around us

i don't want to just be swept off my feet
i want to be swept away
completely

and when the storm passes we will be left
ragged and torn
completely wrecked by one another

if i have to fall in love
i want it to be like a hurricane
memorable and shattering
