Now that is character!
To encourage those qualities by her words
The very best of all time
The true story of whom won the age of twenty-one
Ooze character from every pore.
So magnificently exhibit loyalty, perseverance, and kindness
Not so much the men and women for their greatness
Best remembered are those who did not compromise
That fictional character that only the great know how to play
If you don't like them, I have others!
We usually talk about our feelings but how often do we talk about ourselves?

Noon and morning will not meet
But the sun and moon will swing
Tell me a tale in which flowers won’t bloom
Yet you’ll find them as glorious as spring

When being myself is as worthy as choosing yourself
The only thing you’re is all I wanted you to be

When being enough is no longer enough
What road do you take when you hear the soughing sea?
Most love is but acceptance

When being under the direct gaze of an ethereal light
You don’t need to see perfection but me
An undressed me like the sand grains in this beach
Look me in the eyes and appraise me as a minutia of this delicate world

Tender lips carry a looming dilemma,
A pretense of excitement can’t forgery mask
Under false pretenses, I swam in a sienna-colored sea

In your deceit a cautionary tale
To not underestimate pale words
Imbued with the disillusionment of admission

A truth that although known never revealed
Does not much comfort offer
But today I rest, knowing that I've known thee more in myth than in our candor.

The pains you give birth can never be unborn
Neither can they ever be revived
If you feed your somberest heeds, they will grow

Never mind how many times you ****, they will never go
Aspirations of joy, unmet
How could I turn this to gold?

Detract yourself
This will be over
Any minute now

It can’t be seen with naked eyes
My bare skin shows no signs
But something hurts.
I look around and take notice
I am the only fazed one
So I check the time,
How long more until I burst?
It’s so unoriginal of me to get the blues
Something hurts on the inside.
My hurt still pumps blood
My mind makes it fast paced
Maybe I find an empty cave
And turn this feeling inside out.
My heart’s throbbing, and I don’t know why
Yet my thoughts are not even racing
What it’s I don’t know,
Still hurts

To live a truer life
I fancy quiet surroundings
To allow me the lull of my inmost thoughts

The sojourney longing has barely begun
For Your company to Keep
I kneel down and plead forward

Mercy on our souls living in a worldly world
Complacent feel when only my breathing I hear

Let's not rejoice in a darken solace
But in a rich, cloaked affection.

I found Peace
Rare contentment in adjoining my tomorrow
Repose I have found.
Do not permit other agonies

Your quiet disrupt
And when strifes erupt
My tomorrow is now much coeval
The sought peaceful living I entreat
It's Tuesday and usually, I either feel dull or anxious. It's still early in the week and there's so much to do & accomplish. I hope this poem soothes your soul as it does to mine.

Lately, I have not loved
I have not loved anyone but myself.
The worry of wanting beyond oneself distresses me
It makes me act like a child in a world of grown expectation

Still, the look of his eyes made me no more than a little girl.
But the world is beyond playgrounds

And the pearl of my centerpiece
made me stand on my own ashes

There was no time nor pain in your house.
I wanted someone who asked me to never let go.
Not a spouse,
A full-time worshiper loved in part-time.

Once you were a given,
I’ve seen that I was the sun for my gloomy days
The sakura of my February spring
There were no more blurry lines from which to be rescued
and no longer giving what could be spared

Indeed I healed the heart I neglected when I left for you
And when it's cold outside and I need to be cherished
There’s no despair
It’s not love
It's only spoiling for an affair
