The world is wild and beautiful
The dark is vast and deep
But I don't know if I'll survive
To pass this way again
I want so badly
To be able
To touch you
But you are water
While I am fire
And due to the laws
Of physics
We will never
Collide.

*"How is pain controlled?

Breathe.*
Choke on the cold,
feel your lungs tighten,
your teeth ache.
Hold your arms in themselves,
cradle them as they shake beneath goosebumped skin.
Walk.
Walk slowly so you do not force wind against yourself,
walk slowly so you do not have to choose where you are going yet,
walk toward light.
Let it spill over you,
feel its heat,
you,
still frozen at the core but the light,
it is so warm.
This.
This is what you have been waiting for,
what you wanted but could not articulate,
this gentle touch.
*Breathe.
Wrote this in my creative writing class
White paint peels off to leave the walls bare,
naked and exposed to
elements.
Much like her soul.
Starved of love and affection,
accepted but not wanted.
Tolerated.
The sun casts her shadows on those
she frowns upon,
leaving winding roads to spiral out of control.
Time shifts her world from
it's axis as it progresses,
it doesn't heal,
it doesn't lessen,
It just is.
Echoes of your voice ricochets
to find her heart,
carrying the exact weight they
did the second they fled your tongue,
never shedding an ounce of momentum

"The waves of pain
that had only lapped at her
before now
reared up high and pulled her under .."
A thought of You blossoms inside of my mind
flowering its senses with sweet tastes of bliss
Drowning me with so many furious emotions and joys
of a genuine want and need to share Your happiness

Yes, a thought of You cries out from deep within
for another chance to begin a new wonderful day
In which my feelings can begin lovingly to express
the exquisite thoughts my heart has longed to say

For inside my mind each new day comes to life
a persistent energy which never falters or dies
A living organism growing, breathing, responding
to heavens creative essence which dwells inside

You are the loveliness of all my thoughts and dreams
the sweetness which flows gracefully from my heart
Your love is more priceless and so sorely needed
I pray each day from my life Lord, it won't depart.
Praising God

I spy a twinkle in your eye
you will be my soulmate
till the day I die!
This was my try at romantic poetry
She made her home in a hundred different people-
Inside the desert of her heart
A brawl of sorts
It didn't much matter the type
Just as long as they were living
Perhaps to capture even the tiniest of thread-
Of what it felt like to encompass the sensation
Of the lines that our nerves dance along in the presence of a warm touch

Only-
As the heightened flight began to ******* in gravity
She was left in hunger-
A vulture
Devouring the living
Only to continue walking beside them
