The latest poems on Hello Poetry

“K-pop, Anime, and Tay Tay. Tik Tok share this.

You got advice for me?
Cool. First I really need to know, did you serve?
Did you wear the boots, eat the dust, give up
holidays and birthdays?
Ever sleep on deployment with the sound
of your own death breathing down your neck?
Did you get a half-gone roll of toilet paper
as your only gift for Christmas break?
Was it the best gift you ever got because
it could double as your only pillow?
And second
do you vote?            Do you?
Ever drag your *** out to hold a hand  made sign
when it’s raining and the tear gas is  like a wall of fog , blinding,
paint the letters big enough
so history can’t miss them.
If the answer’s no,
then step off,
because I earned  it.
and you’re just another unpaid preacher
with a mouth full of borrowed words I’ve already ignored.
Go back to your doom scrolling and Latte lies
the adults are talking. Or at least attempting to.

last light hits

last light hits
the tips of trees
it hangs in the air

and comes to rest
as gold on the leaves
color pulls from branches

curves in the wind
and scatters
across the pages of the past

hope hovers
like a harvest moon
and whispers
through the dreams of winter

Trapped in a timeline we were never meant to follow

Some dim it, ignore it,
stay on the surface of life,
never reaching the depth they came here to feel.

Earth may be the only known place in the universe
where emotion, real emotion, like love exists.
Maybe that’s what the entire universe longs for.

And we… we have the privilege to feel it.
Love is what we’ve been chasing since we were children,
dreaming of it, needing it, searching for it.
Maybe Earth truly offers something no other place can:
Emotion.

So stop suppressing it.
Stop numbing it.
Emotions are the reason we’re here.
Don’t be afraid to feel.

You’re on another path

If we were meant to walk different roads,
why was I led to this turn?
Still haunted by the past,
yet somehow, it’s the only thing pulling me forward.
Since we met, I’ve compared everyone to you.

They’re all made of glass.
I see right through them.
And no matter how long I look,
there’s nothing beneath the surface.

I sleep so we can meet

I sleep so we can meet,
To align with u in a dream.
Scenarios like when I read
not forced, just the subliminal scheme.

No pressure here, no twisted game,
just shadows dancing in a name,
a space where fear begins to fade
where you’re still kind, where you still stay.

You see me whole, like once before,
before the stillness,
before the door
you quietly closed
when you chose to ignore.

ignore what bloomed, ignore my ache,
walked past me like I couldn’t break.
Yet even pain begins to gleam
when I return into the dream.

So if we meet, let it be there
a world imagined, soft and rare.
Because the only place I still believe
is in the dream I never leave.
