Light
Justine Kiss Sep 2016
You can't always count on me
I can't always light up your day
No, I am not your sunshine

Only when there's nobody else
And all you see is darkness
I will shine for you like a lamp

Him
Justine Kiss Sep 2016
Him
I wanted to break laws in my dreams,
And die while chasing the thief of my weeds

Drive around the world in my 1980's truck
While generating countless badass maps

I don't give a **** to falling in love
If they want me, then I'll want them back,
If they don't, I might as well give up

Still, marrying someone is a possibility
Crazy, *****, smart and funny,
now she's for me!

But even without an other, I feel rad
With all the awesome pals and sibs I have
Plus a hockey game that is so sick
And some Andrew Jackson on my playlist

I know there's no perfect life,
but I'm really glad with what I got.

Used to be
Justine Kiss Sep 2016
Twelve months. 52 Weeks.
One year is all it takes,
Before your "now"s
Turn into used to "be"s.

Things that used to make you smile,
now fill tears and longingness in your eyes.

How forever is now just a myth,
when it used to be an adjective to your relationship.

Unlovable Things
Justine Kiss Aug 2016
I was once fearful of heights.
I'd close my eyes in roller coaster rides,
held my breath once up high.
Never did I enjoy nor pay attention to the sight.

But then one day, I just decided to fight the fears.
Opened my eyes and just spread my wings,
Imagined I was a bird taking her flight...
Suddenly realized I was missing a life.

A life filled with pure adrenaline rush,
ecstatic happiness and wonder.
While enjoying a view that without gears
We mere humans cannot ponder.

At the end of the day, I felt really grateful
For taking the leap out of my comfort zone
And realized that the best things in life
Could be what seem to be unlovable

Poetry
Justine Kiss Mar 2016
It is not simply creativity, but also some therapy--
of hearts that are drowned in a different galaxy.

Maybe lost in time of precious memories,
or perhaps orbiting space filled with fantasies.

And by turning those into aesthetic literary pieces,
only then, that the heart gains access (or excuse)...
back to Earth's saneness.

FORBIDDEN APPLE
Justine Kiss Nov 2015
Our love is like some stars in the sky
Which is light years too late to survive
It's already dead as we gaze upon it
Already ended before it begun

Our love will just be like some stars
Nothing but captivating memories
A light that shines in darkest moments
Swallowed by sunrise as it faces reality

If only the clock can be turned
Before an Eve was drawn from you
Before the vows had been exchanged
Before the fruits ripened and was due

I could have been your Eve
The one beside you under the sheets
Who fills the gaps between your fingers
While holding on to the wings of little angels

The thought would make me the happiest being
But now its nothing but a celestial dream
Maybe in another life it will come true
Or in another galaxy... who knows,
      there could be me and you.

Even if I plead to thousand shooting stars
I know my wish of us cannot be done
And never would I want to be the serpent with an apple
Deceiving hearts and making humanity miserable.

— The End —
