Love Quotes #62
We locked eyes, met lips, and put bullets in our heads....

"This world wasn't made for love...."

Confessions of a Heartbreak
Have you ever had your heart broken?

It's like taking a rose and snipping off its petal
caressing it around your hands and crushing it
until it slowly fades away in the midst of the breeze.....

Comrade-In-Arms
Muddy water was all we had to drink
we went weeks without eating
the field, a soup bowl
a graveyard of tanks and landmines
and every ten minutes we heard an explosion....

Our feet were rotting from gangrene
A soldier had his arm sawed off
and a cigarette sticking out of his mouth
We cuddle with our bayonets
and we kissed the blades
pretending that they were our wives

Flies had began to gather
swarming in a soldiers mouth
his eyes rolled to the back of his head
a bullet though his chest, his medals stripped
and his coffin became the soil...

Sleep
Her body was motionless
and her face was supple and sweet
she was warm and tender

Sleep.....

My lips, close, yet not quite touching
a whisper, my hand softly embracing her body
her hands and mine....

Sleep... a soft embrace....

The Woman & Her Rifle
Her long, flowing, black hair
sways in the autumn breeze

silence speaks, she is silent

a lonely bullet lays in the chamber
her hands rest gingerly on the guard
her fingers snuggle the trigger

The leaves blow, the poppies bloom
and the grass stands still....

her eyes gaze and wonder....

the enemy is in her cross-hair
silent speaks....

The bullet whispers to the wind....

Paprika And Acid
I busted my brains
open and scooped
out the raw flesh
and useless ****** material

only to replace it
with dashes
of schizophrenic paprika
and hits of new world
ordered acid....

and echoed love
she whispered back
and echoed never...

If women are from Venus, and men are from Mars

Bullet Cookies
I open my package of
oatmeal raisin, chocolate chips cookies
I scraped away the sun dried devils
and devoured the chocolate chips of course
but something felt funny, so I forced
my finger down my throat and puked
up my lunch, the yellow,green concoction
contradicted the lead filled little bites of death
and I also spit up some blood as well
stomach pains and heart palpitations
were my best friends for the next 3 months
reminding me that if I ever buy cookies
online again make sure the package
doesn't say "from Russia with love..."

Life #82
She was a black rose sitting mindlessly in a field
of blooming poppies....
Crushed peanut shells are
scattered all over the floor

Beer bottles smashed,
blood drips from the roof

A body hangs from the rafters
loyal patrons play
a ***** filled game of Russian roulette

**** stains plastered all over the bathroom floor
cockroach's and rats run rampant  
raging alcoholics throw fist and set fire to bar stools

Drunker stupors, and stain glass windows rule
people call it martial law but I call it a regular Monday night...

Quote #436 (Love)
After so many failed attempts at romance and affection
I've forgotten what it's like to love and I've forgotten
what it's like to be loved....

A Poet's Suicide
Slowly killing myself
with every strike that bleeds
from my fragile pen....
686 · Jul 2016
Love #2
Hugs, kisses, conventional small talk,
and the little essences of mutual respect
will not bring back the likes of the dead
but it can start the long, slow healing process,
all we can pray for is a little peace in this world
and all we can hope for is a little bit of love....
686 · Apr 2016
Love #54
A simple caress... tenderly holding you in my arms
while we slowly escape the harsh realities of the world....

Jungle Warfare (1968)
The slickness of a blade
pressing against a throat....
the cold steel meeting tender flesh
blood drips and a body tumbles

the taste.... the sight... the sound....
all quite euphoric.....

Ripped clothes, smashed items,
echo screams, and the raging fires that glow throughout the night

The beauty.... the savagery.... the destruction
all quite euphoric....

Love #76
I opened the blinds
and watched the rain
it took me back to memories
of kissing, hugging, and flat-out
joyous love

We were kids, wanting to become adults
but when we became adults
we wanted to be kids again....

Love #3
It seems as if time stands still when you and I are together....
The days have grown dim
and the nights slumber-less
piles upon piles of papers
clustered against the wall

it's ink rots and whither's
against the strands of time
tormenting me with unpaid bills
and threats of a foreclosed home

The idle threats of separation
have grown familiar, the sparks
of romance no longer seem apparent  
I question our vows....

I question my church and I question my religion
rosaries wrapped around my throat
suffocating the faith that I still have left

These wine bottles have become my god
I drink the blood like it's water
the water cleanses my sins and blind my senses    
it's sweet but bitter

I wonder.... What if.....
but, if I knew the answer
then perhaps this gun
would not be laying upon my nightstand....

What if...... What if......

Confessions
Here I am, sitting in a box,
confessing my sins to a man
who has committed more sins than me....

Mustard Gas
His eyes were a blazing yellow
choking and coughing up blood
his flesh developed sores
and the screams echoed throughout the night

We put him out of his misery
a bullet to the brain
and a star shaped hole in his head

We ripped and teared into our flesh
we couldn't breath, the mucus became thick
and the colors were yellow and red
signs of pus and blood

The masks were suffocating us
and we couldn't see...

a yellow fog hung over our heads
no smell, no taste, just air....

a yellow fog hung over our heads
no smell, no taste, just air....
A sea of slime and sludge
crawls into our boots
and slithers into our socks
gangrene swarms at our feet

Hands frigid and frostbitten
bodies burred beneath the earth
worms and maggots feast upon rotten flesh

The wounded weep,
bloodshot eyes stare at the darkness of the sky
the cannons crash and the bullets rain
as lighting and thunder rip through the sky

The rats scurry out of their burrows
and feast upon our cheese and bread
our food runs scarce

Blood dries on the bayonets
the soil is our graveyard....

Mud
Mud

The thunder roars and the rain pours
black boots ***** in the mud
a serenade of feet, all in unison.

2.
The roar of artillery shells, the golden blaze of fire
the crumbling masonry, the rotten corpses
the tears of mothers and the letters from generals.

3.
The throat slashes, the mustard gas
the iron tanks, the flamethrowers
the bayonets and the noble foot soldier.

Love #58
The greatest kiss I can remember was when you and I stood together
in the midst of stormy weather, our hair fuzzy and clothes soaking wet...
yet our bodies were warm with a sweet embrace, eyes interlocking in a tango of passion and lips locking in a matrimony of tranquility.....
611 · Jul 2016
Life #3
Sometimes I feel that we move too fast and don't have a chance to cherish the little things like rainbows, sunsets, little picnics and dates, etc, we should just slow down and admire what we have before it's gone....

Absence
Sorry I haven't written any poems lately, I've been extremely busy
it's my senior year of high school and I've been really busy
with college applications, senior events, etc
speaking of college applications, I've been accepted into the
University of Kansas, Wichita State University and
University of Iowa so it's a great year so far
so again, sorry for the lack of poems, I will be back
with new content soon....

Your kiss is like a hurricane

Sexual Assault
Pants unbuttoned.....
his fingers slipping through
the confines of a cotton plaid skirt
tender kisses to the neck.....

A muffled cry, a powerful, painful ******....
a trickle of blood and a broken *****

Blood on the bed sheets and ***** on the floor
curled into a ball.... wailing sounds echo throughout the night....

When we were younger
the world was full of vibrant colors
who knew however, that as we grew older
the world would turn black and white

Religion #21
Crucifixes leaning against my window pane,
outside, the rain and the wind brush against the trees
staring at my crucifix, staring at a blank religion...

Gasoline Coated Cocktail
It's black and muggy....

a little bit of black ice
to burn my tongue

A hint of lemon
for that sour, exotic flavor

I sip and swallow
cough and puke..

A glass in one hand, a box of matches in the other
a flame, a warm feeling in my throat

and an unquenchable thirst....

Life #84
Bloodshot eyes, and syringes sticking out of my arms
it's 3 A.M, I'm drooling, the Television, full of static
rotten tuna by my bedside, paralyzed,
my mind thinks a million thoughts.....
Surrounded by mud
our feet make love to the surface

the bullets kiss us, the bayonets hug
our intestines and the blankets
cuddle with our cold, decaying corpses

we write to our wives, letters that will never be delivered

the wet ground gives our feet an unpleasant present
in the form of gangrene, the rats
make themselves at home feasting upon the rotten
flesh of fallen comrades while the maggots make use
of newly formed skulks and aged decaying bone

then comes the symphony of artillery
the roar of gunfire, the marching of tanks
the mighty foot soldiers, and
the majestic golden smoke of mustard gas

the trenches become our unwanted love
and unholiest of homes, "the tears do not shed
the blood does not spill, and the soldier does not die"
is the common the battle cry sung upon us
constantly by our commanders

but on the contrary
these bitter notes of blind fate forever sing to us
the illusion of life and the irony of war.....

Love Poisoning
Imagine..... simply imagine
the boy you admire or the girl you idolize
they're eyes, they're hair,
everything about them symbolizing perfection
the little glimpses and the hopes that they will recognize you
and soon be yours.....

imagine locking lips.....
the moment you've been waiting for
it's a drug, you're intoxicated, you never want this moment to end
you want they're kisses, hugs, late night phone calls
early morning texts, you want it all.... now you have it

Imagine..... every thought in your mind
is simply of them, every picture, every text, every kiss, every hug
every date, every little moment burned into the back of your mind...
imagine..... you are addicted, you crave them, you have them
you never want to let go....

Imagine.... your family, your friends....
they mean nothing to you anymore, simply an afterthought....
your only source of emotion, your source of thinking
is the thought of your lover....

Imagine..... nobody, you've left them, you have nobody...
he or she is the only one left.... your entire life revolves around them....

Imagine..... they're gone.... you have nobody
you've lost everything, your friends, your family
the people who have stuck by your side
through the good times and bad, everybody has left you
you have nobody, you've lost everything
and you have lost yourself.....

Wounds
I write on my skin
and let the pen dance on my flesh
I write about old memories and old thoughts
just so I can reopen old wounds...

Untitled #1
She took a bottle of whiskey
and began to chug it
the whiskey turned to water
smooth to the throat, tasteless
reaching for the cigarette lighter
in her back pocket and grabbing the cigarettes
from the table, a single puff.....

She took a plate, a fork, and a knife
from the kitchen and inside her freezer
was a microwaveable dinner,
she stumbled to the living room

The TV was static,  
muffled cries from the screen    
the meal was crunchy, hardly chewy
a single bite....

The radio was static
yet audible, one station, love songs
mascara tubes, empty, lipstick, dry
and face, bare....

Toothpaste, crusty and soap, dry
brown water and bare skin
tender flesh and wool rag

Tattered clothes, black lips
empty chamber, a pistol
cigarette, a single puff

Love #17
Love..... love is like a drug
it ***** you up, mentally, physically, emotionally
yet... we crave it, we crave it because it's so ******* addicting

I remember the first time I fell in love
It tasted a lot like cherry, with a hint of lime
It wore a short, little pink dress
Brown skin and black eyes
I stared at it.... And I thought about
For hours on end….

love has a face
a disturbingly beautiful face
a face that could **** you
and with a single glare,
You've just committed romantic suicide......
