Edgar Allan Poe

It was many and many a year ago,
  In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
  By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
  Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
  In this kingdom by the sea:
But we loved with a love that was more than love—
  I and my ANNABEL LEE;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
  Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
  In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
  My beautiful ANNABEL LEE;
So that her highborn kinsmen came
  And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
  In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
  Went envying her and me—
Yes!—that was the reason (as all men know,
  In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
  Chilling and killing my ANNABEL LEE.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
  Of those who were older than we—
  Of many far wiser than we—
And neither the angels in heaven above,
  Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
  Of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE.

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
  Of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE;
And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes
  Of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride,
  In her sepulchre there by the sea—
  In her tomb by the side of the sea.

Don't Fall In Love With A Poet

Don't Fall In Love With A Poet

He will conceal his emotions in sugar coated words
He will know of your beauty before he even sees it
He worries for romance rather than bees and birds
And he will be insecure about acne and zits
So his confidence isn't exactly alluring.
Don't fall in love with a poet,
He will let his words rain like blood on a river
Diluting all that is left of clear purity.
Don't fall in love with a poet,
Because he will not know how to fall out of it,
He will bury himself in an abyss
That is heartbreak.
He will surround himself
with tales of heartbreaks and heroism,
tales of company and parties
when he is actually still lonely.

Don't fall in love with a poet
He will tell you of your beauty
And as much as he knows it
He will tell you of your perfection.

Don't fall in love with a poet
His words will break
And he definitely knows it
That he will hold himself in heartache.

Forcing a Smile

Forcing a Smile

Faint echoes of applause
As the day approaches a close
Darting a death stare to the sound
As the casket gets lowered to the ground.

I was too emotional exhausted to exchange punches
And the memories of our late night 2 a.m lunches
Flooded my crimson teary eyes
As I hid my tears by looking at the skies.

I should have fought for you or at least with you
Way before my days became stained with a permanent blue
And there are no do overs so I can't relive it again
And for you sweetheart I dedicate my tear stained pen.

Next time write me a message and I'll fight for you
I've left a felt-tip pen buried next to you.
You use to make the ***** jokes of the felt and tip
Write a to-do list and I promise, not one item skipped

But I know you, you'll probably write something like
1. Live life
2. Smile
3.Try to eat healthy (that doesn't mean an all fast food diet)
4. Go play basketball
5. Go find love

Bye

I have always tried to write
So that my demons are kept away
Not everyone puts up a fight
And so the demons see light of day.

I write this last piece for the friends
Who have seen me through insanity
For those that believe that 'things end'
And now my words are living in vanity.

Thank you for the multiple experiences
Showing me that life in essence is beauty,
That there lies things beyond appearances,
And now I guess I've served my time, done my duty.

I bid you all a fine farewelll
Praying for all of you
To live life in swell
And escape matrimony with feeling blue.

Thank you all. Most importantly thank you to Ashley, Eriko (you'll make it to be a successful artist. Talent tends to drive success and you are talented. Don't ever stop painting or writing) lucinda, Blaine (you have been one of the toughest people i know and I want you to see that you are an amazing person. Although the skies might fall and the ground might shake, I know at max you'll bend never break. I hope you get through everything just fine and I am glad that as long as you are happy I'll be fine to go on. Keep your head up high, there's beauty everywhere around you but most importantly it's in you) nameless (all the best with your literal shawty if I remember correctly. Keep going bro, you'll find love and live happily one day. Btw you have a talent for writing maybe one day I'll read a published book) , bailey (sorry about that last collab idea- maybe one day in the distant future.

Don't let anyone take that light within your heart away. I know you'll keep fighting. And ps; I 100% support you if you were to call your coach an *******). Thank you to the murderer, princess (I believe in you dear, tough situations don't always last but tough people do and i know you are tough.

Wash Yesterday Away

April's rain
Brings
May flowers
Yesterday's pain
Brings
Eye's showers
But
Water stains
Can
Be washed away
And
Sadness will fade
For
April's showers
Brings
May Flowers.

Stay happy
for
Today
will
Shine
for
You.

You
Are
Amazing,
And
Your
Smile
Shines
Of
Beauty

I feel you don't hear it enough. You all are amazing people, and I noticed I've been getting into the bad habit of writing sad emotions in poems, this is my attempt at a little more hopeful and happy mood. Everyone, you all deserve to be happy. stay happy and I want you to know that you are all incredible people. Stay strong I believe in you. You are superbly amazing.
