Faith
slender fingers
point animatedly
at a pale face.
"you,"
he says,
"you are beautiful."

electricity pulsed
throughout me,
and a beautiful memory
was etched forever.

Mistress of the night
sweet smell of darkness
oh how cherished was the scent
never knowing until it was too late

true love's blinded sight
a pain never fading, forever ageless
tattered soul left in fragments
pain that never will abate

oh mistress of the night
*please don't fade into the shadows

One day
I will be different.

One day
My legs will push faster

One day
The approval in myself
Will be greater than any superficial recognition

*Only those days feel so far away sometimes.
Only why can't that "one day" be *today*?

he was an unswept floor
she was unsolved rubik's cube

he taught her to write poetry
she taught him to love

she said that love was a butterfly
he'd never even been in a cocoon

he said that words were twelve story buildings
she was afraid of heights

he was a creaky old cabin
she was an unfinished jigsaw puzzle

but he had the missing piece, lost in the dust behind his rickety counters
and she was a fixer upper, looking for a renovation

they were red stripes with orange plaid
they were mismatched socks

both so different
both so lost

A winter wind
Kisses thy flesh

A gentle breeze
Your face, it shall caress

I envy that air
For it must never stop
It's touch

Myself, however,
Has limits on how long
I may hold you
Someone, love unselfishly.
Someone, love so sweetly.
Then you have those negative vibes of folks always cutting you down.
Those, you just don't want around.

Someone, has love constantly to give.
Someone, live to feel it and give it.
Then you have those always bringing love down.
When love has never done a single thing wrong.

Someone, wants to share love.
Someone, wants to explain it.
Even teach it, if given the chance.
Then you have those afraid of romance.
Loves to kick it.

Then there is you.
Who know how to reflect it with feeling?
Share it forever.
Make lovers wants to stay together.

Yes, love is in you.

Knowing you is serendipity
I knew deep inside I couldn't get enough of your beauty
the effort and courage it took you to willingly
to say "hey" to me
got me smiling so happily
stomach starts to get giddy
always making my mood fantastically
you have this sort of ability
to get me believing to the positivity
instead of the negativity
and I've got to admit
that you're sometimes very witty
there's something about you
that brings out my curiosity
for once I actually like living in reality
because you're not like the others
you have morality
and doesn't treat people poorly
really digging your mentality
for ever since
I've learned to keep my sanity
and been treating myself more equally
because you showed me of how chivalry
still exists
so I'm amazingly
grateful for meeting you, my greatest serendipity
A happy poem I guess?
Subconscious decisions

Blurred morality

There's a lacking somewhere

Why did I do it?

I'm on your side

We're both against me

Slamming the back of my head against the wall
sliding my body down until my face rests in my knees

I taste the salt as my cheekbones struggle to catch each dropping tear

"What the ****."

None of it makes sense.
All that makes sense to me

is us
"I don't want to talk about it, 'cause I'm in love with you."
