i think we love the ocean
to feel the crash
beat with our hearts
cause this ocean
was meant to be felt
within our souls

guide us softly
and steady like the ocean waves

I want you to teach me how to feel
feel me in between the creases
of my body

backs arched
toes curled tight
trace me softly

this all feels real
our love shared
without words

your heart against mine
every beat is calculated

intertwine
sigh
repeat

It was unexpected
like the summer days
the knots in my stomach seem to disperse
i never thought id feel this way
for you.
your brown eyes could heal a soul
i feel free with you
every word falls slowly,
not waiting to catch a breathe
emotions a teenager can't handle
That touch was replayed
to figure out if it meant something
something other than hello or goodbye
because every time i see you i don't want to leave

your side
im falling for you
crush

Tip of my tongue
overused, and quite abused
in the most polite way
can be entangled in fear and thoughts
not knowing what to say
lashes back in attitude
declaring war as if its the end of the world
those teenage battles
conflict between moral and selfishness
my tongue spoke words of devil but had a touch like an angel
speaks love and fights battles  
until the last breathe
use your words  in every moment

This isn't a poem to tell how special you are
cause you're not.

Black, empty screen
meant to engulf your mind into the scene
We're sitting in the back
stained trail of your hair over my face
Legs wrapped tight
Film unwinds

as you kiss the crevice of my neck
the wheels skid on the pavement in the scene
heart beats faster
that moment was a divine intervention

I saw you in the corner yesterday
Writing your essay about things that don't make sense right now
you spoke so eloquently
and tried your best
to express
every emotion that was spewing out from you
You are the future
Future filled with desire and passion
I could hear your heartbeat
it flowed with life
and room for knowledge to grow
Don't listen to what they say
Social norm
is not always the way
People like you are hiding
hiding in this world
or maybe
seeking the great where no one else can be found.
As you kept on talking
I smiled knowing you are the future
and the future is bright
Thought of all the amazing people in the world while writing this. Thanks for being on this planet.
