A country that the world left behind
when rubber could be made by man.
The country that slaves found home.

I love this country
that I haven't set
foot on it's soil
yet.

I want to walk it's
dusty trails into
rainforests and
hidden tribes.

I want to sing with
all the vagabonds
ragamuffins &
castaways.

It's a country unknown
a frontier to discover.
A place to call home
maybe...

#npmchat

We talked for the first time
in forever it seemed.
Actually talked, I mean.

I forgot how nice it was to
trust you with me.
See I lost my way with you.

We're just two battered souls
trying to scrape by.
Come fly with me, girl.

Had a talk with one of my most valued friends. We talk almost daily, but it was like last night we actually did talk for the first time in forever.

Blessings to Jesus

Bless the Man crucified
Bless the slain Lamb
Bless He who bled
Bless God in flesh
Bless the Savior
Bless Jesus
He Lives

How I live my life is totally different from the praise I put in this poem. #hypocrite

Memories Flood

For some reason I'm thinking
About two people I lost in the last year
My friend who killed herself because
She fell for me and I couldn't fall for her
& the woman I love who was
Torn away from me by force.

I can't help but feel regret for one
& feel devastation for the other
All I want is for them to come back
One to still be alive
The other to be in my arms
I just miss them both

I have no idea why today is so much harder then normal. I miss the love of my life so much, and I'm so sorry my friend had to die because she had nobody and the only person who ever invested anything in her couldn't reciprocate those feelings... ****

Hello Poetry Changed

Why is it a constant thing
When something works fine
It gets changed?

Not saying it's worse (though mobile and tablet views are not pleasant at all), but was it really needed?

[Also... holy cow there are a lot of genders in the settings!!!]

We're ******* Up

I honestly couldn't help but laugh
At how we both end up broke from
Love.

Seven years we've known each other
You've gone through six boyfriends
None meant for you.

I've had not a single girlfriend yet
A complicated situation with one
I loved like you.

Now we're in the same boat
Scared to love because it hurt
Too deep to heal.

Most ****** up thing is
If I wasn't a *****
and you could trust me
We'd have forever together
But instead our love is a memory.

I can't get over the fact that I'm still in love with you but wouldn't ever be with you now, even if you wanted me.
