I don't think I've ever actually purposely did a 10 word Tuesday so here's mine :)
(I think I counted the words a minimum of 20 times just to make sure)

It's be six long years
Tainted by many tears
As this demon called harm
Crawled into her arms
But she met this guy
Who became her sky
He's improved her life
She'll become his wife

Her blades been thrown away
Her demon can no longer stay
Wrote this Christmas Eve
KM Apr 2013
I don't mean this to be sad dear,
My writing for you is from the heart.
The way you hold me closely and when
You whisper it makes this world bearable.

You make the world crisp and clear,
Our souls are together, bodies are apart.
I promise it will be soon when we shall again
Be together and our worlds stable.

I get overwhelmed when you whisper in my ear,
And the things you tell me inspire my art.
Near you I am calm, collected and zen.
You make the worst of the world tolerable.

There will come a year when we shall not shed a tear,
For the part when it's time for one of us to depart
Will become the past "then" and we will say "when"
For this distance makes us humble and we'll longer grumble.
Goodness I miss you abcd abcd abcd, aabbccdd.

Watching him enjoy something
Something he knows
No matter what it is
Is such an honor
Of the highest degree
The way he glows
Shines
Beams and smiles
Knowing every word
I am beyond blessed
To see that side
That no one else gets to
My pride my joy
My best my love
Thank you
For sharing with me
Without using words

KM Apr 2014
I will so desperately press my lips to yours
Tracing your lines with mine
Melting into one being
You and I

Selfless love
For my love is not mine
It's for you my dear
To be selfless and kind
An act I can't master
Though I'm trying I swear
My selfless love
I apparently can't share
5/2/2014
Because love is not always smooth and easy to maneuver.
KM Nov 2013
I want to say
My darling dear
Let me count the ways
I know you love me

You told me before
You'd never do distance
Or so you swore
They never work out

But here we are
Madly in love
My lucky star
You've become

You're my best friend
My brave dear knight
My heart you mend
The brightest light

You told me before
You'd never do distance
Or so you swore
They never work out

I want to say
My darling dear
Let me count the ways
I know you love me
10/16-11/1 Okay some people are mightily offended when poets reference each other but I think that's crap because it's a sign of like.. respect or honor or something.
KM Jun 2013
If you've never tasted my tears as they stream across my lips
Don't tell me you've understood my pain
Tears lips and eyes tell stories words cannot
The stories deeply hidden in someones heart of hearts
The aching pain that stirs in them on the coldest days and warmest nights
The stinging in their throat and they lose all sense of up and down
When they clench their fist and squeeze their eye lids shut
And gently shake
When they don't understand why the tears chose to fall this day
But every pain is revealed to them at once and pilled upon another
Before you vanish out of this world and existence
Taste someones tears as they stream across their lips
Understand their pain as they cry for the world that has broken them
I cry for the pain of every human sometimes..
KM Aug 2014
And suddenly
the phrase
"the one whom
my soul loves"
has never felt
so strong
and so real

KM Jan 2014
I grow under my sky
He shines brightly for me
Nourishes my soul
Fills me with all that I need
He called me his flower
Saying I smell so sweet
And grow in the light
That I bud and blossom
And grow so beautifully
Does my sweet sky know
That he is the light
That makes me grow?
Shining so brightly
On my cloudy days
Raining when I'm dry
Filling me with all I need
Because I am his flower
And he is my sky

I brag about you
To my friends
My parents
My God
I tell them all
About your beauty
The way you shine
Encourage
Make me whole
Complete
Content
I tell them how
You're the most handsome
With the best smile
Most sincere eyes
And how you're genuine
Real
Helpful
I tell them about you
And how you are
Everything I want

My darling my sky. I love your darkness, your light, your everything.

Reports are that New York City
Has washed out with the tide
Give my regards to Broadway
The starless Manhattan skyline

The coffee shop patrons are oblivious
To what is going on outside
With latte in hand they don't realize
They'll soon be swimming for their yuppie lives

All the business men on Wall Street
Are stuffing money in suitcases
Hoping that they'll double as
Life saving flotation

All those spotless high fashion models
Are in heels trying to run-away
It's far too late for that now
Shouldn't have gone to work today

With Central Park underwater
It's now New Yorks finest fishing spot
Tossing fishing lines out of every high-rise
Using what ever bait they've got

From Escargot to caviar
Along with diamond rings for shine
To attract the fish for that special dish
On which the rich can dine

Once a place of so much fun
The island became it's own ride
When Coney Island washed away
As New York was pulled out with the tide
Collab with Mike Hauser :) seriously love working with him, even though I was kinda lazy with this poem and he did most the work ;)
KM Mar 2014
Stuck between the moment
Of reality and make believe
If I could grab a hold
I wonder which side would set me free

A gravitational pull
Keeping me locked between
A choice within myself
To others it remains unseen
Real quick collab with Mike Hauser :)

I have these thoughts
That pop into my mind
"I just need..." Help?
"If I could get..." Stronger?
"But I..." Need?
"I.." Me.

How dare I utter words
That speak about my love
My so called selfless love
When on a bad day
I don't pour more
I just ask for filling

KM May 2013
Slow and steady, death consumes.
A sweet sweet kiss, passion blooms.
My heart you hold, poison me not.
Gaze in my eyes, I'm already caught.
A friend and I were discussing love and this spun out of the conversation
KM Jul 2014
All these things I've said I'd do
I don't see at all how I'll make it through
These trials these challenges
To be a better me
I can't seem to improve
The slightest of these
I pick and scrape
And barely get by
Though maybe that's only
In my eyes

The constant mental banter
    Back and forth yes or no
        Do I disappoint my love
            For a moment of instant gratification?

            Do I throw away recovery
        Three solid months
    Itchy skin and hateful thoughts
For a moment of instant gratification?

                                                               ­                                                         And I'm so full of regret
                                                                ­                                                     Because it wasn't worth it
                                                              ­                                                       And I hurt my best friend
                                                          ­                                         For a moment of instant gratification

          A moment of instant gratification
          That wasn't even gratifying
          Wasn't in the slightest, satisfying
          Harboring a moment of regret
          For something he won't forget
          But I tried in vain to justify
          The actions I couldn't dignify
          Words that trickled like thorns
          Oh how I wish I waited a minute more
          And not let their whispers win
          Screams rather, as they crawl in
          They soothed their shrieks
          And gently brushed my cheeks
          And convinced me it didn't count
          If it didn't bleed on my account  
          But he held my close and said it did
          I can't swallow it, but it's true, I backslid
          "But it didn't leave any marks to show"
          My mind screams and my heart does echo
          "I didn't bleed in the slightest my dear"
          Disappointing him is a biggest fear
          As immaturity grasps at my soul
          I have to accept my repercussions in whole
          Three months down the drain
          And causing my best friend pain
          Not a scar to show for what I've done
          But away from me, he'll never run..
Wrote the first two stanzas in late November.. The rest is from this morning..
But if I'm being honest that last chunk is really cool and written well in my opinion.

I'm so sorry love.. I'm sorry my sky..
KM Feb 2014
In a tomb by the sounding sea
That’s where he waits for me
His lover long lost
Never to be beside again
Moans and wails and shrieks of horror
As that wickedly turning sea
Gracefully and steadily, it regurgitates me
His lover returning
But not quite the same
Gagging and choking and coughing up salt
Slimy skin from the waters embrace
A twisted grin of joy on his face
His out stretched arms
I stand at the shore line
With a glowing smile enticing
Laughing and crying he stumbles forwards
Water logged eyes shining bright
Knowing to him, I’m a glorious sight
Stopping just before my gentle touch
His smile fades as his mind catches up
Why won’t he come closer to me?
Hesitating and questioning his bride before him
His gut screams no but his heart pushes on
A whisper escapes ‘but you were meant to be gone’
I smile graciously as I reach for his hand
‘My sweet love, but I’m here now, follow me’
Holding and locking our fingers together
Turning to face the calmed, silent sea
Swallowing us whole to the depths to be free
In a tomb together, my lover and me
2/13/2014
KM Dec 2013
My love you're irresistible when you're happy
The way you glow and shine so brightly
The way you smile with such infectious joy
Sadness doesn't stand a chance with you around

KM Apr 2013
I will taste the sunshine
While I'm with you
It'll eat us up
And make us new.

I will yell to the thunder
While I'm with you
Hold me close
So I know it's true.

I will dance with the trees
While I'm with you
And when we're old
We'll see we grew.

I will climb mountains
While I'm with you
We can reach the top
The most beautiful view.

I will swim the ocean
While I'm with you
We won't have much
But we'll make-do.

I will become transparent
While I'm with you
Inside and out
You'll see me through.

I will be myself
While I'm with you
We won't be perfect
And we'll argue.

I will grow old
While I'm with you
We'll travel the world
If you want, us two.
Something a fellow poet wrote inspired this, vaguely. It was a trail of thoughts spun off a couple words I briefly read. 2/25/13

Busting out in side splitting laughter
When you want to sit and sob
Truly makes one feel insane
2/17/2014
KM Aug 2013
When I awoke I sat alone
Goodness me that's a large mushroom
Or have a gotten small once more
All I can recall was a mist of blue
Surrounding my eyes
Choking my lungs
I'm late for a very important date
It's my drug of choice but it controls me
Though I lie to myself
And say I have it under my will
I crave my tea-of-tears
I'm late for a very important date
And I feel so large today
Larger than my house
Goodness me curiouser and curiouser
We'll never dry off this way
Nothing seems right anymore
Why am I always too tall
Or just too small
I can never fit quite right
Will I ever fit anywhere
I'm so alone
I just want to find my way home
But this is home
This new wonderful land
The key isn't on the table anymore
I have it right here
In my pocket
It's been there the entire time
I don't guide my own steps though
Forever lost looking for home
These people here are simply mad
Bonkers
'Round the bend
This must be where I belong
Home amongst the curious
The mad
My own asylum
Built in my mind
My very own
Home

KM Aug 2013
I heard the faintest whisper
Just a hint of a melody
It was the tune of a song to sing
A song for you and me

A song that reaches your heart
A melody that sings with your soul
Something stirring within you
It makes you lose control

The vast sea of emotions
Endless late night smiles
Hearts are easily fooled
But the mind knows the miles

A song with a long pause
But lets not skip this track
Waiting can be beautiful
Someday we'll have each other back
8/18-19/2013

Lots of times
I tend to
Forget
Everything is real.

KM Aug 2013
You know you start to believe them
All those lies
When you tell them
One too many times

How pretentious and atrocious
To write stories
Where you get to be the main character
And have the life you've always wanted

Why don't you try living
Like your temper controls the weather
And you anger
Destroys lives

A peaceful soul
Tender kind and loving
Will always be sought after
Above all other types

Regardless of recovery
You will always be your own worst enemy
Drown the voices in your head
You can make it out alive
Parts of this are from today, from April, some from last week, and some from years ago.
KM Jul 2013
We only had a few hours that day
But it was sunny and beautiful and full of light,
I never wanted to leave your side.
The taste of your soft lips on mine,
Was sweeter than the brightest sunshine.

Near the river on a fence we lay
The softest skin I've ever felt,
And the bluest eyes that can make me melt.
The way you held me close and tight
Every moment seemed so right.

You wrapped your arms around my waist
I leaned in a little closer just to hear your heartbeat,
That day we skated and walked with bare-feet.
Watching you drive away wasn't too bad I swear,
Though it would have been easier if I didn't care.

Our first hug was the sweetest embrace
But just being in the same room was breathtaking,
My heart, immeasurable joy when you said 'intoxicating.'
Someday we'll be together again,
Thank you for being my very bestest friend.

Listening is a complex activity
But I can't help myself
From staring out this window
At the birds, the flowers and trees
Gently being guided by the wind
On a sweetly flavored day
Right on the tip of spring
Pushing the thoughts of winter
Far far away
3/24/2014
KM Dec 2013
Oh little gentle soul
Long dark hair
Bright green eyes
Favorite red dress
Twirling and dancing
Leaping and smiling
The living room
Your stage
The sunshine
Your spotlight
Rows of teddy bears
Your adoring fans
Don't give up
Oh little gentle soul
Don't ever stop
Twirling and dancing
Leaping and smiling

Little things always change
They all build up
And I always forget
To watch for it
Though not always for the worse
Little things always change

Love is not selfish
But what is one to do
When two choices
Are both selfish
And no light
Is shining through?

Remember me
While I was beautiful
7/7/2014
KM Aug 2013
If you can't see love in someones eyes
Truly see love in them
The way the smile
The way their eyes glitter
The way they gaze at the person whom they love
If you cannot see these things
Love
Is simply a word uttered
By a lying tongue
And a deceitful heart
8/31/2013
KM Oct 2013
And darling no doubt whispers
The distinct difference from others
Who filled my heart with lies
But there's love in your eyes
We support one another

Pouring rain, hiding under covers
Cuddling close and finding comfort
In the clouds, my heart flies
And darling no doubt whispers

A love that does not smother
I will never want another
To sit and watch the sun rise
With joy my heart cries
I love you beyond measure
And darling no doubt whispers
So there was a serious stretch with some of the rhyming here but I hope you guys like it :) 9/7/2013-10/4/2013
KM May 2014
If your lover
Your mate
Helper
Partner
Loses zeal
Loses beauty
Looks twisted
Unrecognizable
Unattractive
When you disagree
Fight
Argue
Breakdown
Then you aren't loving

But my friend
My best
My favorite
You are as handsome as ever.

KM Jul 2013
I love the taste of my coffee
But I'm really terrible at remembering
To drink it before it stars chilling.
I write
I draw
I sing
I am art.
But my coffee grows old.
So I've become okay with the taste
Of lukewarm coffee.
It's become a familiar kiss
Across my mouth and these lips.
I've noticed I have a habit of using the word kiss
KM Mar 2013
Little girl with the miss-matched socks
Who are you to think you make a difference
In someones life so they'd go that far
To end it all is a big commitment
You think you make that difference?

Little boy in the too-short jeans
She didn't mean to break you
Thought that's the way it seems
To end it all is a big commitment
You think you can handle that difference?

Best friends in the whole wide world
She said she saw him first though
A taken boy but for his attention you twirled
To end it all is a big commitment
You thought he was worth this difference?

Best guy to ever walk the earth
Who are you to feel so shattered
She left but you're allowed to feel tattered
To end all is a big commitment
You think she won't hate this difference?
My most recent writing, save one being worked on this moment.
KM Jan 2014
Oh the mocking laughter
Gets louder and louder
As the heart I broke
Sits silently in front
And I sit across
Useless and hopeless
Can't fix a thing
Can't be trusted at all
And the mocking laughter
Gets louder and louder
I feel like my heads going to explode
I can't say I'm sorry enough

KM Apr 2013
And this is for a young woman
Whom I love more than most.
Who shows kindness to all,
Even the ones who boast.

She's patient and loving,
And quiet and sweet.
She's a flower so beautiful,
Her red petals so neat.

Humble and forgiving,
She won't hate her foe.
She's strong within Christ,
And she conquers sorrow.

For now I shall stop,
Though I could go on for days.
I can see it already,
She'll blush at this praise.
4/25/13
Yes, babe, this is about you.
KM Aug 2013
My beautiful mother just called me
And said so kindly, "her little pyro"
But oh if only she had a clue
Of the fire that burns within me also

Sometimes it's a subtle mellow flame
And other times a forest fire rages
My sweltering heart cannot be touched
Except for with him, the fire disengages

For so long the fire inside me was kindled
Burning up the things that upset me
I never saw the affect it had on what I loved
Till I was worn thin and my fire let me free

I was all burnt up and left charred from my faults
When a refreshing rain cloud hovered nearby
No hatred, guilt, fear or sadness was left upon me
And suddenly that rain cloud was my entire sky
8/23-24/2013
KM Jul 2013
It's been along while
Since I've felt the
Desperate
Suffocating
Excruciating desire
To hear the ocean
Crashing on those pebbles
And wait for the
Chilling
Calming
Beautiful sound
Of it drawing back off the shore.
KM Jul 2013
"You must love haikus
Because you are a poet"
I do not like them
I've only once or twice ran across a haiku that I thoroughly enjoyed
KM Nov 2013
The sparkle in his eyes
When he's doing his best
His arms his embrace
My ultimate place of rest

Two halves of one heart
Two halves of one mind
To share one life
Together completely entwined

All that he is, so perfect to me
A love that's light on the darkest days
Encouraging, uplifting, tightest embrace
He's explored my minds dark dark caves

Not a doubt in my soul
And by my side he remains
And by his I'll stand true
Even when my sky rains

I'll give him my all, my very best
Such  joy from our lives being combined
I'll be his light when he loses his way
Till the days we hobble and walk with canes
11/23/2013
You are simply marvelous, my love.
My reason for recovery.
KM Jan 2014
That first hug at the bus stop
We were both shaking
But only a minute
Till we felt so at home,
Sorry our first kiss
Was outside a bathroom
In a bus station
Next to our fathers
I just couldn't wait any longer,
Resting my hands on your soft neck
And gazing into your deep loving eyes
Could easily and happily be
My most favorite past time,
Laughing by the fire
Holding all close in the snow
Spending time by you
Is the best time I've ever known,
The way you hold me
Firm and loving
Gentle and safe
Such and overwhelming craving,
I felt it too, our heart aching
As I lightly brushed the tears
Off your soft but fuzzy cheeks
As we stood in the rain
And you were pulled away
And I watched you drive away again
But at least this time, darling
I know you're my best friend
And soon we'll be together
Laughing and smiling and holding each other
And before too long has passed
We'll be married and all close
Forever, at last
Seriously funky rhyme going on here
KM Jan 2014
I can easily recall the taste of your soft lips
And the way it felt when you softly bit

I secretly loved the way you messed up my hair
And the way we would sit squished in one chair

I enjoy how we solve things, when conflict does arise
And between your heart to mine, there are no lies

I can easily recall the sweet scent that lingers on your skin
And the way it left me intoxicated within
I secretly loved the way you lightly teased me
And the way you make me feel so free
I enjoy how safe and secure you are
And between your hear to mine, even from afar
KM Mar 2014
I just need a little help
A little hope
A little nudge into the light
I'm falling
Breaking
I don't know what this is
It hurts so bad
What's happening to me
Nothing triggered
This deep burning in my soul
3/12/2014
A messy little poem for a messy day
KM Sep 2013
My world is bigger than yours
And all the people I know
Somehow know each other
Your world is a single town
In a single state
In a single country
My world is vast
My world is deep
My world crosses oceans
Universes
My world is the beating hearts
The joyful smiles
Tear stained cheeks
From tear filled eyes
By every happy smile
And every breaking soul
My world is you
9/17/2013 I don't know.. This was weird and I just kept typing and this is what happened.. Sometimes my heart hurts for everyone on the planet at once and I just can't bare it..
KM May 2013
The earth screams at the smokey sky,
Fire rained back, and flames burned high.
The ocean will roar and the air
Will never relinquish power.
The animals they run run run,
Away from the elements that they love.
The heat pours down and penetrates a world,
The air is choked out, and reality is curled.

Silence takes over as the flame burns out,
Everything is gone without a doubt.
But it's the way of life, burning and growing,
It's earths process, cleansing and slowing.
There's good in the bad, though hard to see,
From the ashes grows a bud, a flower to be.
Please don't lose hope in any natural thing,
For you're of nature, like every human being.
KM Aug 2013
Somewhere over the rainbow the land of Oz is burning
What you don't know won't hurt you
As this world keeps on turning

Oh, poor Mr. Scarecrow is on fire
And far away the monkeys flew
Somewhere over the rainbow the land of Oz is burning

Tin man with his rusty wires
Needs more oil than when he was new
As this world keeps on turning

The cowardly lions hair did flare
As his home disappears from view
Somewhere over the rainbow the Land of oz is burning

Soon to be the witches funeral pyre
As water from the bucket flew
As this world keeps on turning

Do yourself a favor, don't look behind the curtain
Watch your step, a twisters coming through
Somewhere over the rainbow the Land of Oz is burning
As this world keeps turning
8/15/2013 Collaboration with Mike Hauser :) truly an amazing poet and friend.
KM Jul 2014
And how undeserving am I
Of the graceful, steady
Love he provides
And he knows this
Yet provides nonetheless
For true love is forgiving
And searches for your best

When I'm falling down
Breaking apart it seems
He holds me steady
As soon as he's ready
Never abandons or drops
And treats me like a lady

How undeserving am I
To have such a lover
Who gives so many chances and more
To learn again and restore
Even if I keep repeating
Things that cause heart-sore

So I break and I build
This heart in my chest
For my lover my sight
And do all that I might
To learn and to grow
So I may treat him right

Now
Screaming
Screaming
Screaming
LOUD
Screaming out
Screaming now
It's all I have
I'm trying hard
I'm falling down
Tumbling now
I can't get out
I can't
The screams in my throat
Are itching now
Clawing out
Choking me down
I can't
