equal more
Kate Feb 2013
does sharing these little small things
if I stitch them all together, the glaces and smiles
can it make the sum of it all
equal more than what it is

the shows we have watched
the eyes you make at me
does it make us a little more than friends?
feel free to give notes. I like the idea and concept but need to move things around.

Fly back to me
Straight path to my arms

Check my arrivals
You know just where to start

Glace over my flight plan
See just where you are

Land on my runway
Climb right on board

Buckle in my dear
I'll take you anywhere you want

I promise a smooth ride
A destination in my heart

The Girl in my English Class
Kate Feb 2013
She sits in the back of classes
Answers all the questions
As if there to her all alone.
She annoys those around
Like no other.
She spews out another answer,
And sits back with a smug smile.
She thinks she just a little better then the rest.
She basks in the glow of self satisfaction,
Looking disdainfully down on those around her.
All the While insulting those who laugh or smile,
as if their Happiness annoys her most of all.
Do you think when she looks around,
And realizes she has no friends,
That she just supposes she’s too good for them?

Lemon Meringue Pie
Kate Mar 2013
Light and fluffy
melts on the tip of my tongue
I worked for hours
and now you are mine alone

I squeezed the lemons
and wiped the egg whites
measured out the sugar
checked my list twice

I cleaned up the kitchen
wiped flour off my nose
turned off the cooktop
and thought of eating you whole
ode to pie.

Houston
Kate Feb 2013
Humid, sweat
The frizzing of hair
Burning black leather
Scalding seat buckles that induce cursing
Air condition on full blast
Walk in sweating
Walk out shivering
Self made fans out of anything
Slip n slides, swimming, ice cream
Sun glasses
Soaking up the sun
Ice tea, lemonade
Aiming for that killer tan
Sunburns, aloe vera
Sticky school days
That last too long
And the savior of the south goes to
Central air
summer is coming soon.

I wanted to have you all to myself

my clique
Kate Jun 2013
sitting outside even though its 98
drinking *****, crunching ice
and sweating

all these people were my best friends
a few still are
but mostly...we are all so distant
every hang out is a catch up
we all still hold on
try to keep it the same
but we can never go back to those golden years
this group
we will never go back
to the camps and summer days
and driving 7 hours together with
nothing to worry about but sunscreen
how each one of ya'll were my second family
I knew your flaws and traits as well as my own
(I love all the people I've come along a long the way)
but I would give most everything
to fix what the years
have done to us

Being your friend is enough
is a small lie I tell myself constantly

I can't give you this.
Kate Feb 2013
you haven't texted me in two weeks.
I texted you once but that was such
an adventure in feeling unwanted that
I will not stick my toe in that pool ever again

I dont know what happened
maybe you found someone who is better
at listening to the events of your days
or
maybe your guilt caught up to you
though why now after all this time makes no sense to me

I tell myself that you are ordinary
that there is no spark
but even if I swallow that lie
I cannot ignore the pull of your eyes
and my willingness to do whatever you ask

So until you reach out
I'll have my pride to keep my company
and ill pray you hear one of my songs
or that I'll grace everyone of your dreams
but i won't give in
you have won everything from me
I can't give you this.

There is a painting
called; In Bed The Kiss
Hanging in a private collection
by a famous french painter
Toulouse-Lautrec

My heart leap the first time I saw it
because there we were
I'm sure many lovers have pictured themselves in that painting
but the resemblance is to canny for me to dismiss it as anyone else
it can't be just coincidence
It's enough to make me believe in re-carnation
thrilling to know in a past life
you and I
were captured forever
in bed
kissing.

a virus I cant shake
Kate May 2013
I'm fighting a constant heartache,
a virus I cant shake
there is a sickness is me
there is a sickness is me
                    a way of thinking
                    a bad way of living
Sorry that I look to you for help
but these hands shake
and they ache for you
boy they do

I never knew a cure that looked so cute
your bringing out this sickness in me
I call your name in and out of sleep
you think that i would ever be annoyed by you?
i must be more subtle than I thought
you are
a song
my friend, where I belong
swallow your fear
pour your doubts into me
ill sing you to sleep

Kate Feb 2013
I liked to pretend that it was all a big drama
that people wouldn't get hurt
somehow it would all work out

Curses
Kate Apr 2013
*******!
just your ******* name on a screen tears me to shreds
and it means nothing
and it consumes me
because I'm not allowed to tell you any of this.

****
I want everything from you
I cant be your ******* friend.
because every smile is a splinter
and your killing me
and your killing him.
so pointless
so futile
and it never ******* ends.

I still think about you every day

Is this how it fades?

Fall at my knees
Kate Feb 2013
you make me shy
and nervous
I edit myself so much
I try to give you the best me
but you make me feel so raw

you seem so wise
maybe just quiet
I spew all my thoughts
please tell me how you move with such grace
every action has such forethought


I want to take you apart to see how it all works
to see you come undone
trip up and stumble on your own words
so bring all that resolve and poise
it will make it so much sweeter
when you are falling at my knees

-Katherine Baldwin-

Never over you
Kate Jun 2013
we will never be just friends
there will always be this soft spot
this tender flesh you left so bruised

my head will always turn at your name
and every time that song plays
it will cut me just as deep as the first time

I will be married
you will be miles away
I'll still be blushing at the way you looked at me

Flower hunt.
Kate Feb 2013
I sneak through the garden
flowers bending away from me
I hunt for the most beautiful among them

The old and dying are safe
so are the fresh young buds
oh but those beauties at their prime
are my target, my goal in sight.

I clip them at the base
fragrant and still alive in my hands
I add them to the others I have already harvested.

These will be perfect I think
Just right for their new resting place
I arrange them on my table
and smile at my conquest
and their comrades outside sigh.

The Valentine I can't send.
Kate Feb 2013
I can't send you a valentine
but I hope you know
that today
(like most days)
you are on my mind

I miss you
I really hope you find love
I know we will never be together
And I'm fine with that
but please be happy, that really is all I want

Once you find her
I'll be sick with jealousy
Of course
but I'll smile, and give you advice as always
oh and I'll hate her so much

but I'll get over it
                                                I'll get over you



                                                          ­                                                I hope.

Songs
Kate May 2013
In a dream
you took all the poems
I wrote for you
and turned them into sound

how you played out my heart
so lovely it was
trembling on the air
you spilled my emotions all over those cords

talented hands
creating and undoing
from their tips sang
my weak words into everlasting song

Bubbling
Kate Feb 2013
Bubbling this energy inside of me
Sometimes I feel so light and I see
Everything good there is to me

Bubbling this anger inside of me
Sometime I feel so ****** heavy
Why can’t I just do anything?

Bubbling these words inside of me
Sometimes I say things I don’t mean
And then I never know what you really see

Bubbling this hope inside of me
Sometimes I just feel so silly
Maybe it’s all working out and I just can’t see
old poem.

Poetry
Kate Apr 2013
I don't write for the glory
I sure don't do this for praise
It is for my health
and for the hope that the next poem
I pen for you
will **** this feeling
and deaden the traitorous
temptations of my heart.

Like a child
I forget
the times you hurt me
high on the rush

I have seen them turn cold
and your slight smile
has been hidden from me
I forget about your sting
the ache from not saying the right thing

Blow out.
Kate Apr 2013
Remember that day
My tires blew out on my new car?
That ******* truck ran me into the curb
My boyfriend was out of town
So I called you crying
I need a ride
I'm so sorry

Always it's no problem
and
I'll be there soon
You were my savoir that day
you hugged me
I went on about my beautiful new car
interrupting you told me the car doesn't matter at all

just me.

Any good friend would of done
said the same
but with you
its always the little ****** things.
that break my heart

How?

how do you not feel
my gaze
travel hot and needy down your torso

how do you not sense
my breath hitch
when you reach your arms high

how can it be
that you can't see me ******* you
as we both sit and smile
414 · Mar 2013
Oh

Oh those eyes you have
tell me how do they move from

I tell you everything
so I don't tell you whats really on my mind

Words don't seem to flow when I'm fine
Not many things to say when I'm happy
Heart break speeds my hand time after time
I'm sorry with you my muse is empty

It doesn't make you less then those boys who came before you
But still you beg me for a line
Envious of the pages I have written for others
So tonight what I have constructed is for you my love:

*My life with you is greater than any poem or rhyme.
Hard to write poems when one is content.

Sweetness to the point
Of delicacy
Hands on hips
While squeezing by

I don’t want to
Move an inch

Don’t need to
Move an inch

So touch me again
Ever so innocently
Beg me to tell you
Its you I need

For you I come to my knees
Sweetness you can have
All of me

Give me rides home
Oh, I don’t mind

For you I beg on my knees
I won’t mind.

Look how she looks at you
I'm sure you saw this coming

I can't wait to get to know her
I'm sure we both will be really fast friends.
