i am able to carve illustrious images with the words of my poems,
yet I’m speechless when it comes to you.
why may I be so inept at speaking simple thoughts to you?

that’s the thing about people,
you only know the side they choose to show you
they may have been good to you,
but they may have also done the worst to someone else
that’s life’s tragic irony

I know the color of your flesh but not the color of your desires

The sun,
Oh how she shines her love on us.
She radiates her warm tenderness on you and me.
I will love you for as long as the sun shall allow.

The water,
Oh how she splashes her kindness on us.
She splatters her compassion on you and me.
I will care for you for as long as the water shall allow.

The wind,
Oh how she blows her peace on us.
She puffs her tranquility on you and me.
I will be gentle to you for as long as the wind shall allow.

The sun's love may become hidden by the clouds,
But she still exists behind them.

The water's kindness may get evaporated into the sky,
But she still exists in the rain.

The wind's peace may come to a stand still,
But she still comes back.

Be my Villanelle,
The assassin to my heart.
Stab me,
Once,
Twice,
Five ******* times.
Deeper,
Harder,
Show me your love.

drowned in moonlight.
the smell of cigarettes and cinnamon.
unapologetic,
yet warm and kind hearted.

the brightest star in the sky,
oh how she shines.

The moon has known me for my whole life
She has seen my best and worst nights
Yet she’s the only one that’s stayed

i want to be that interesting girl
i want to be proficient with words
is it so selfish to want to be admired?

there's a devil on my shoulder
and an angel in my heart
they're both telling me to act on my feelings for you
but i'm too scared of rejection

my anxieties keep me up
they tell me you might not like me as much as i like you
you unknowingly punched those worries in their ugly faces
you make it obvious to me
i love you too

Just as the sun is committed to coming up each morning,

Just as each day is promised,

Just as the moon and the stars will always shine,

I will love you,

And that is guaranteed.

You’ve never left my mind ever since the day,

You came into my life and took my breath away.

Always in my dreams I see your pretty face.

That is just something I could never erase.

So give me a chance and maybe you could see,

Exactly how much you mean to me.

I still feel your presence after all these years.
It's your old self, the one I fell in love with.
You've changed, for better or for worse?
Just stop haunting me.

poetry
isn't just words on paper
words are flowing
like paint from a brush
these words make you feel something

it's no doubt that we are truly one
when we love each other with our bodies

but even when we love by ourselves
we never split

Express yourself!
Don't be afraid to show your true self!*

No matter how much I want to,
No matter how much I need to,
I can't.
I don't want to get beaten.
I don't want to get ridiculed.
I don't want to get kicked out of my own home.
I'm not comfortable in my own skin.

it's a certainty that I won't live forever
but I want my words to be passed down for generations

Everyone hangs their darkest tapestries deep within their mind

I don’t understand atheists.
How could you not believe in a higher power,
As we are all gods controlling the universes within us.

Relax,
Everything’s falling apart.

Here I am,
Trying to think of a poem to somehow ease my anxieties since you decided to remind me of your presence.
But you don’t deserve my words anymore.
Keep your insincere and selfish apology.
Leave me to rot.

I’m someone lost in thought,
Just waiting to finally be found

i feel congested
my heart is arrested
and i can't find my way down

blood is thicker than water*
scientifically, true
figuratively, a load of *******

i don't want to be so ambitious
but you and i could be something so beautiful

this piece of plastic makes me feel better than you ever did

I've wasted such beautiful words and phrases
on the most toxic people
I tell myself it won't happen again
but the cycle will continue forever

I found her in the mirror five years ago
her damaged body unwanted
she was sad and tired

I found her in the mirror five minutes ago
her beautiful body extremely desired
but she was still sad and tired

before you look for love
look in the mirror

we were stopped by security at the art museum
they accused me of stealing one of the masterpieces
one look at you and I knew I was guilty

the thoughts in my brain are like tiny trains
they keep going and going
no destination in mind
no destination needed

we're not lovers
we're not friends
we've been mistaken for both
what side are you on?

You are the air I breathe,
The water I drink,
The dust that lingers,
The flowers that bloom,
But most of all,
You are the one for me.

You are everywhere.
My dreams consist of your beautiful skin.
My thoughts spiral with your words within.
My hellos are always meant for you.
My goodbyes are something I hate to do.
My skin is tainted with your DNA.
My fingertips search for you everyday.
You are everywhere.

you are the sun
I am nothing but a dwarf planet
I orbit around you and rely on you for warmth
you give me life

Everyone says the moon is lonely,
How lonely can she be?
She’s surrounded by the stars in the sky.

How lonely must the sun be?
She has no one but those wispy clouds.
But, oh, does she still shine.

little do you know
you're the one that makes this smile show

My judgement is clouded.
I can't tell right from wrong,
And you're to blame.

My habits have changed.
My friends call me insane,
And you're to blame.

My stomach constantly tickles.
My feet are walking toward you,
And you're to blame.

I'm ghosting my fingers on your spine.
Our lips are touching,
And you're to blame.

Every time we cuddled close,
One of us would overheat.
Was that our bodies realizing we weren’t meant to be?
