Silent
is the barred mind
of a Girl
of a Boy.    

Colored prints
of my colored prints,
and America wasn’t great
to those whose hands build it.    

And their anthem plays on,
disguising detestation as protection
resentful the Sun’s
never made love to their complexion.

It's a feeling I think
I have to crave
Your hand in mine
Is like a lullaby
Your eyes sparkle
In the sweet sunlight
And by the moon's light
They don't loose their luster
My head on your chest
I can hear your heart beating
And time stops for a second
The world around us
May still be moving
But we lay here stagnant
In our own universe
With little infities
Enough for a lifetime
But yet this moment could
Not last long enough
For our time is fleeting
Though it just begun

i want to sing my sorrows away
and sweep myself off the ground
to go soaring through this rainy sky.

you're in my way, and you're
crying your sorrows away.
but your crying never stops.

my singing doesn't stop either,
but i feel better.

you don't feel better,
and you keep crying your
sorrows away, while i am still here
singing, my sorrows long gone.

Since the first time my thoughts met paper
I saved my happy thoughts for later
So with this elementary rhyme scheme
Let me tell you what was stopping me
I wrote when emotions were vivid and high
Requiring sadness and despair to comply
But I have found to achieve true contentment
One must wash away all resentment
Leave your venomous thoughts behind
And if I am yours, you are mine
First positive poem I have made since I have joined this website ;)

If destiny has a plan for us,* why make it a checker game?
There is a winner, but both sides lose pieces

If destiny has a plan for us, why add in others?
The recipe only calls for two

When destiny had a plan for us,
You threw away the script without a fuss
Another 5 minute write up I made because living off of two hours of sleep spurts ideas
me
My echo wont reply for me.
My reflection will not look at me.
My shadow does not walk with me.
My footsteps will not follow me.

I lost myself to someone else.

And they never gave me back.
Shouting at an empty room;
Even echoes do fall silent.
