Tending to Pumpkins
Jennifer Louise Oct 2014
Their hallow heads hold fire after being carved by kids. I wonder how they do that, gouge a gourd for human fests. I bring them water every day, until they grow with might, these now seedless pumpkins that glow all through the night. They say they scare the ghosts away but none yet have I seen except the ones of the rotted skeletons that were once these.

Scraped Knee
Jennifer Louise Jul 2014
She grasped her knee with an empty hand and no one asked her why. She felt the pain the concrete made and broke down to cry. She fell so hard that she bled right down to her socks. The boy who her pushed her to the ground just laughed as he threw rocks.

Painting Faces
Jennifer Louise Jul 2014
I spend my time painting faces that I have never seen. I make them up inside my mind, I imagine them from seeds. The seeds come from places I've never been, they come from towns across the seas. People drop them by my corner from which I wish and plea. I wish to paint the face of love that has once found me. Me, I paint the faces of those across the sea.

Stopping to say hello
Jennifer Louise Jun 2014
As you pass me on the sidewalk, ignoring my gaze, I begin to think of the cold winter days we sat inside sipping coffee by the window; the crisp fall air surrounding us on our morning walks; the kids running outside in a rain storm letting the water soak into their skin. Only none if this happened because you never stopped to say hello.

Untitled
Jennifer Louise Jun 2014
My heart grows weary from beating without yours by my side. This life speaks words of sorrow through the wind. The frigid air cuts through my skin making me wonder if I could ever thrive again. This bittersweet end to a perfect love will forever cage my fondness for you. As we both take our separate paths, I will shiver through my veins praying to see you once again.

Broken
Jennifer Louise Jan 2013
When the house is asleep in the deep of the night, that is when I cry.
They don't understand because they aren't one of my kind
A reject of the default,
the broken inside.
So hurt and useless in a world so small We wonder if anyone cares at all
Our plea is the same lead us out of this hole they've dug for us
Our souls are empty knickknacks sitting on a forlorn shelf  
Waiting for someone to love us and pick us up from this hell
I see a distant wish granted though it will be too long
So read what I write
this empty hopeless song
for when the house is asleep in the deep of the night, that is when I die.

Story
Jennifer Louise Dec 2012
I want to fall in love
I want to swim with the stars
I want to dream of things the world has never seen
I want to draw in my storybook, the world of hope
I want to never let go of my destiny

Shrink
Jennifer Louise Dec 2012
Sometimes
I wish I could shrink
I wish I could talk to the ants
I wish I could live in their kingdom
sometimes
I wish I could carry a single drop of water in the palm of my hand
just to see how God feels
sometimes
I wish I could shrink
and fall down the drain like the rest of the world.

Wind
Jennifer Louise Dec 2012
You can't see  love. Nor can you taste or smell it. What you can do with love is feel it in every vein in your body. You can hear it in the waves of the ocean. You can feel it running through your fingertips. Hear it rushing through the trees and whistling through the valleys. No, you can't see love, but you can see it's effects. In the people's faces around you. You can taste love. You can taste the lips of love kissing you ever so passionately. You can't smell love. You can smell the scent of the skin that holds you close.

You can't see love, but you can see it's effects.

                                                          For love is like the wind...

Rewind
Jennifer Louise Oct 2012
I've faked a smile for far too long, I thought you were the lyrics to my song. Now I can’t sleep and you are gone. If I could rewind I’d start with a sorry, I know it’s too late now but at least you’ll know. I miss your voice whispering through the snow saying, “I love you, wherever we go.” Calm sea tides slowly turn to a storm and now you’re gone forever there is no more warmth. I miss your scent, wild flowers and berries, making me shiver when I could detect it. We were going to be the ones who made the earth spin and dance around the sun, now we’re just two souls split from one. We lived each day for the other, now we’ll live it for another. Love struck us down and now we know we’ll never be together, heart or soul.

My Life
Jennifer Louise Sep 2012
My life is a long bright hallway filled with my past, present, and future. I run towards my future, from my past and next to my present. The walls are filled with pictures and memories to know who I am and what I'm about.

11 years today...
Jennifer Louise Sep 2012
Seeing those buildings fall made the world stand in awe. Not because it's the united states, but because everyone in every place should stand together strong and tall, not watch each other crumble and fall.

The Valley
Jennifer Louise Sep 2012
The dark valley has pain in it's wake
A world filled with complete sadness.
Why does this place make me fall and shake?
This place keeps filling up with depression and badness.

It gets darker and darker until I can't see anymore.
The light, It's gone, the world is suppressed.
Darkness wants me, so what do I need the light for?
My mind is gone, my heart depressed.

I see the light again it's bright and blinding.
A book of the world wrapped in clear binding.

First Comes War
Jennifer Louise Sep 2012
This time is why we live our lives in war,
feeling empty at the sound of the wind.
Killing, dying, at the sea and the shore,
weapons and guns are on what we depend.
we see the trials of the painful deaths.
The people under war, the earth in peace.
We ignore the words of peace from the deapths.
The children of love and war do not meet.
We try to stop but hatred makes it last.
Heart to heart we are strong to make a stand.
We see the hate love put into our past.
All our love has been seen to come and land.
Listen to the earth, feel its endless love,
trust in what it says and fly far above.

Healing Wounds
Jennifer Louise Sep 2012
These wounds are healing quickly, as is my heart. But I will never forget the day our love was at a start. I loved the way you said my name in the sun and in the rain, all of this though, now causes me great pain. I heard the words “the end” and could never handle myself again. I struck the knife against my soul and heard no word following your swift flee. I never knew you wanted to leave, making my heart wilt like a plucked rose. It showed me true love cannot grow from stones. Cold heartless words are all we now exchange; I thought we would never be estranged. Your words once brought life, now all it breathes is strife. I’m living with no words to express my decomposed soul.

The Rose
Jennifer Louise Sep 2012
Loneliness, a venomous dispair, runs through your viens. It slowly rips you apart. You dont notice until the last drop reaches your fast pounding heart.You then realize what has happened. A gracious rose cuts you with its thorns,a single drop of blood falls, you are saved as the slow moving pioson leaves your body. A single flower has saved your life, and the vile of depression is burried deep within its grave.

Time
Jennifer Louise Sep 2012
Time is memories wrapped up in space, moving by so quickly it's hard to relax. It makes love break your heart in a matter of seconds and life to wrap up before it begins. You don't expect the unexpected because it moves like a train flying through your hands and leaving you dazed and you don't understand why you can't take hold of your love and your life til it nearly ends, but one thing you know is the time-the memories-last in the end. So make the memory of your life last and don't move on too fast.

— The End —
