Hop
      Skip
and  a
                         jump

my heart skips
to the rhythm of hop scotch

Tickles and giggles
as we roll around in the grass

then pause

to gaze into the wispy zoo of white
lost
in your sky blue eyes

Sweeping my thumb
across your bottom lip

coy dimples
you show

third eye
you kiss

Fleeting glances
into one another's soul

I surrender

letting my emotions go

Waves push me over
And swept me away
into your sea

I am bound up in this affection

this

Love

You want to give to me

Wrapped up in the warmth
of your arms

your kisses
are seldom few

It's a new day

a fresh peak into

the eyesome future

of you.

You see,
    there’s this thing
   about you…
   …in the way that you chew
words
so effortlessly

Stomach
on    empty
after you spewed
  all   over   my   sleeve

Where I wear
my heart
  no courtesy
  to  wipe  it  clean

You would let it
stain
if it weren’t for the
       rain
to wash it
                   away.

Difficulties arise
competing with
all of these
fallacies
surrounding me

We're incomplete
receiving till we overheat
technology's consuming me

Because what you see
it isn't me
it isn't me
system's overloading

We've got to dilate our minds
- disconnect to reconnect -
evaluate your time.

Through crowds of chaos
the room becomes still
as you pull me through
to your world
not having to be near
your eyes
like portals
guiding me to serenity
taking in what you breath
inconceivably
deceiving me
like clay, you play
by ripping me apart
from the start I knew
you had me
it's in your art
of shape shifting
to please my senses,
bits and pieces
there is
not enough glue
to keep us whole so
we fall
we fall apart
nothing can keep us there
we try
but change like clouds
until
we fade away.
Added on to a previous poem I shared a while ago, and now is part of a new song :)

I have never been so uncertain
on holding back
all of my emotions.
One minute you're saying that
you love me
then it's like I have
no existence.
But I would never ever dare
to say so,
in hopes that you'd finally catch on.
Can't you see that I'm waiting
here, so
you can let your emotions
fall...
let them fall
into my hands.
Tell me now what I'm suppose to do when
my heart wants
and doesn't want
you?
Perhaps my minds got the best of me?
Or maybe I'm just a silly fool?
Hold me back,
cuz I'm about to freak now...
can't you see the realness in my face?
I'm really trying not to ******' flip out!
Can you show me
some emotion,
please..
let them fall
into my
hands.
Lyrics I wrote to a pretty intense song.

Eclipsed,
by the curve
of your lips.
I unveil my eyes,
no longer blind
to icky little tricks
sewn closely
to your wrists.
Go...
go ahead now,
voodoo what you do.
Dizzy silly dazzled minds,
fracturing the rules.
Déjà vu wouldn't help.
No chance to reverse
ticking clocks
on the shelf,
soaring through the universe
of
yourself.
Narcissists…. need I say more?

Nestled closely to my dreams
  I build castles in air
Dancing on tops of clouds
  with my tiny feet bare
I carry on in a way of grace
  singing songs with rapture
Hands twirling in the sky
  rose petals I swiftly capture
I kiss each one
  blowing them back to the wind
My soul is too selfless
  to have harbored all of them
In the distance his eyes met mine
  with a gentle smile
My cheeks turning to a cranberry wine
  as he took my hand a while
Floating deep into the rising sun
  warm colors melt our souls
Poured into the open sea
  spiraling round and round on carousel
Until washed upon twinkling sands
  of greens and yellows
I awaken with empty hands
  and a heart that bellows.
This was the very first poem I shared on Hello Poetry back in 2015. It is still my favorite poem I've ever written, so I wanted to share with you all again :)
