Let down

An empty promise
Is naught
But whistling wind

Your lies
Drift down
And rest
Crumpled
On the
Pavement.

l.v.s and z.k

Leila The Kiwi Mar 2020

Trace your thoughts
Along my thighs

Engrave your secrets
Into my spine

You don't have to
Say a word
Just make me
Feel something

After all
We're told to
Show
Not
Tell...

l.v.s

Budget

You've got your
Basic food needs
Shelter and warmth
Friends and family
Music, films, and games

You tell me
There's only
Enough for
The essentials

That there's
Not time
For me

I understand now
I'm not a
Priority.

l.v.s

back at it again with word generator poems

Double Standard

Don't look down
At me, lover boy
I can show you
Around town

Lead you through
The dark alleys
Of your mind
That you're
Far too
Afraid
To share

We can chat
And hold hands
The whole way

I wouldn't mind
The pitch-black
Inside you

But you always
Need sunshine
From me.

l.v.s

felt inspired listening to 'by the time you've finished your coffee' by korantemaa

Slow motion

I feel like
Every second
Is a
Time
Waster.

l.v.s

Just high thoughts 2020.

Leila The Kiwi Mar 2020

Hand picked

Flowers held out,
Wilted and rotted.
A momento from past lovers,
Arranged poorly.

Boy you must stop
With this
Childish hope
No one wants
A bruised bouquet
Please, just go away.

l.v.s and I.M

A friend was sharing some poems with me, the first part was a section of one of his poems that stood out to me. I added the second part to it because I was inspired.

Luke warm

You're the boy
I met in the
Summer rain

We were
Spinning
And laughing
Your hands
Slid to my waist
As if they
Belonged there

We shared
A moment
Sheltered
From our
Lives
Hidden
From the
World

It caught
Me by
Surprise
When people
Asked
About me
You spewed
Lies

I hope
I never see
You again.

l.v.s

Just feeling inspired while having a bath...
The warm water made me think 'summer rain'
