The latest poems on Hello Poetry

Brianna N 3d

I'm bold, bold, bold.

I thought I could melt your heart,
and warm the iceberg in your chest.
Honestly, I'd thought I'd be your best,
but I was not made for that test.

You're distant, distant, distant.

I'm here, here, here.

You think of the future,
and I see the current world.
Honestly, I wish you'd look around,
but you won't turn your head to me now.

You're oblivious, oblivious, oblivious.

I'm aware, aware, aware.

Of they fact that you'll never stare,
but I still hope you will.
The warmth in my heart,
will go cold before my love disappears.

Abbott J Hardison 3d

Can (I) Love You?

Rocking in the empty space,
Between loneliness and overwhelming love,
Is where you'll find me now.
Looking up in the night skies,
Thinking about the stories I was told,
And told.
Life is what you make it,
So I'd like to make it this.
Running after storms,
Holding fast to the ground.
Coming home with dirt stained shoes,
Hoping someday I'll come home to you.

If you want to make a change, set an impossible goal. Once you have it in your head you'll chase after it.
Then someday it'll be less impossible.

LM 3d

Reunion

My final letter:
An elegy to friendship,
A knife in your back.

My solace is in your laughter,
In your kindness,
In your heart.

My touch-starved soul yearns
To return to your embrace,
To come home.

Abbott J Hardison 3d

Somebody Said The Sun Comes Up

Somebody said the sun would come up,
It stuck with me,
When I was stuck up.

I wanted to be somebody people could love,
But I was too boisterous to contain,
Too wild to settle.

When I asked for help I was told,
First you need to help,
If you're going to help yourself.

Karma kills to knock you down,
Unless you lean that life is more than your success,
Life is the blooming flowers of our people,

The pulse of our community.

Love thy neighbor.

The Invisible Poet 3d

maelstrom

the water is pulling me in
pulling me under
churning around me
as my lungs fill with the salty ocean spray
I hear the name of the maelstrom
loneliness
loneliness is drowning me
deep into its depths
this maelstrom of loneliness is killing me
will it ever end?
will I ever swim to shore
and escape it's wrath?
maybe hope is in the horizon

maelstrom: a powerful whirlpool in the sea or a river

No knife

There is no knife that cuts my skin 
Just too many bright reflections
 Good words are screaming from within
 And blood might help confessions

I’ve read so many similar words on here
 In some weird way that fills me with fear
 I can understand it’s romantic, I guess
 But for once in my life I wish to hear less

Little red drops, they won’t help the pain 
Big chunky bracelets on your wrist 
It makes you feel like you’re insane
 Yet still you remain, and still you insist

I feel like this sounds too optimistic and unfinished, but maybe that’s the charm? or not? feel free to share your opinion
