Ashley
the carpet is orange with little gray and white specks
like television static
the ceiling is off-white with the occasional stain
like snow the neighbors’ dogs have ****** on
I’m filled with the sound a plastic trash bag makes as it’s being *******
suffocating out on the curb in the ***** snow

car exhaust staining the ground
oil dripping in little rainbow pools
they look like tiny universes, cosmic filth
the rings of saturn are only flecks of dust
each of my eyes is a planet for you to explore
each of my hands is a nation for you to invade

the stars are visible in every glistening patch of snow
the sun and moon are the eyes of god
the solar system has lent me its gaze

That Day

Marian
The blueness of the sky
The coolness of the bitter wind
The redness of holly berries
Shall linger in my head
And I shall treasure it
Always

*~Marian~
I don't believe I shall ever forget that day!!! (: ~~~~<3
I'm writing this poem from my brand-new iPhone
And I'm already consumed by it
But it's not just me stuck in the tube
Millions and millions of people
Oblivious to the natural beauty
That is our ever loving planet
Drop the phone, explore. a cave
Turn new stones, catch some waves
Humanity we have to save
From this monstrous epidemic
Of technological addiction

This tree is no evergreen,
Though its roots run as deep
Through emerald soil unseen.
Branches bare witness.
The seasons ebb and flow,
Creaking and curling
While the north wind blows.

Leaves cling for dear life.
Fragile, fading
And yet dancing with light.
They grow and blossom
Only to falter one day.
Crinkled and trodden,
Swept up and blown away.

Who would want this broken boy
Past riddled with choices destroyed
Chose a life completely void of God
Chose the blade, chose the rope
But God gave one last hope
To keep from causing unneeded dread
He put a flaw in the thread
Rid his life of prior addictions
Rid his head of all the fictions
Turned his messed up life around
So joy just might be found
But when the hardship came
His faith became a little lame
Turned back to past addictions
And started believing all the fictions
But God would not give up
On this broken boy; feeble as a glass cup
Sent in in others to help clean his act
So it wouldn't be a fact
That he was bound by his past
That left him so empty, so fast
Who would want this broken boy
God above who created him with much joy
Thought I might start writing poems. I don't really think I'm very good, but I'm giving it a try. This is the first poem I've ever written. Thanks for reading
