Gone, just like the rest
Broken, you put my heart to
The test, and I Failed
First try at a haiku! I hope it’s good!

I’m dreaming in red
White tigers and jade crystals
My heritage calls
I did not write this, the wonderful Adreishka wrote it based on some things I told her about my life

My birthday is in two weeks and I’m just waiting for the right moment;
You know that moment when you lean over and blow away the flames on your cake that you don’t even like because it has a layer of fruit on the middle?
When that measly second gives you a chance to wish your life away because every other method you’ve tried hasn’t worked.

So bring out the candles. Let me blow out the flames so that hopefully my flame burns out too.

A busy bee

She goes buzzzzzz all over and around me

Beauty in her sting

Death to her lonely self does she bring

I’m beyond broken inside. I know what I have to do to end it all. But I don’t think I have the strength to do it. I need guidance. A helping hand. Someone please help me search for an easy way out.

Too close, yet too far
My readings were beyond wrong
A missed connection

Words that escape, quick
Hearts that aren’t compatible
He rejects her, hard
Sarah Locklin Oct 2022
You have tasked me with writing a letter but the words escape me.
I know not how to write the way your eyes look into my soul.
I fear that I will never know to describe how your embrace feels.
Words on paper that will be folded into an envelope.
They seem not to do your love justice.
We speak of the future and marriage and children.
Yet I know nothing about how to please you like a wife.
I am learning with you.
My love.
My teacher.
My future.

Finally an escape from routine and I can finally breathe

Ive never been good at this poetry stuff but I want to give it another go. Any recommendations on where to start? Haiku, lantern, ???

His words are like knives
He unveils the truth within
Her identity
Usually I’m a tough nut to crack, but he seems to get me. Also really thinking haikus are my favorite now. I wonder if I could do multiple haikus back to back to make a longer poem

It’s okay not to be okay, but it’s not okay to wonder if you’re good enough for someone.
I don’t need you.

Dangerous, this game
Two souls working to keep it…
Together for once

The path of enlightenment is nearing.


Your worldly possessions are useless.
For when you step into the grave it is but you and you alone.
The quicker you come to this realization then I shall take you to Nirvana and light your way.

He makes me blush and I get nervous
He talks sweet like honey and caramel
A white guy that gets me red and shy
I really like talking to this
unnerving
white
guy
Sarah Locklin Feb 2022
He thinks I’m silly I just know it! A crazy chick with nothing but strings attached. I’m so much more I promise!

I’m so much more

She’s beautiful, the finest rose in the garden. Her hands soft as silk. Her hair as fair as her skin. Those thorns will get you though. So be careful where you pick her. She’ll ***** until you bleed.

She’s a witch, she’s a killer with looks that…. Oops that’s wrong, I’ll try again
She’s a witch, she’s a….
I lost my train of thought
“Would you like some gum?”
I’ll try again next time

Shop shop shop!
Until your little body drops!
Here there and everywhere!
How can you chose your wares?

I made this pretending to be someone I am not but today I show my true colors. Sarah. My name is Sarah. I'm not interesting, I just like to wear other people's faces because it helps me to escape.

She takes a deep breath
His words echo in her head
Torn down to a thread
Sarah Locklin Feb 2022
Am I missing something vital? I thought things were okay. My comment went too far
Sarah Locklin Sep 2020
What am I but a liar?
A meaningless liar.
Sarah Locklin Feb 2022
What do I write about? My confusion? My loss? That missed connection? His words quick and gone.
Sarah Locklin Feb 2022
Do I reveal me
No one has spoken my name
Not for many years
Sarah Locklin Feb 2022
Follow my instincts. Just write from the heart. It should be easy enough. Or could I be dead wrong?
I’m still finding my style. My way in this world. Can you forgive this naïve young girl?
Sarah Locklin Sep 2022
Soft. He is so soft
Not to the touch. I have not yet felt his skin.
Sweet. He is so sweet.
His words are so kind and keep me happy.
His. I am his.
For some reason I feel drawn to him.
Ambitious. He has ambitions.
He sees a future to be had with me.
Precious. He is precious.
Father of a daughter and a good one it seems.
Green. He is green.
Clean and pure and everything I need.
Frank. He is Frank.
Frankly I think this man is a good thing.
I get nervous when we talk. He makes me blush alot.
