Madison

Blessed are those eyes,
One green, one hazel.
A shade for heaven,
And a shade for earth,
Balanced on a smile worth a million words.
Blessed are those eyes

Just proving to someone that they aren't a waste of words. ( : See, people can write a poem about you.

Pour sugar on me

It's that Whiff of air
The smell
The moment you enter Starbucks

That bitter taste
Sometimes sweetened
Other times raw bean

That's what love smells like
That's how it tastes
Like coffee

They're both praised
They're both overrated
And I hate coffee

Project: sharing is caring

Head first
I pushed through every wall.

it didn’t work.

tried again, and again

it didn’t work—my head burst.

with hands worn, I went back
rebuilt them all.

it didn’t work, but I built more.

it still doesn’t work and now
my hands broke.

but at least no more
sounds come through
and at least
I’m far enough.

I’m tired, but I’m better.

I shared my words with the wonderful Elle, and this is the result. If you liked this check out Elle's page @ hellopoetry.com/ellebsun where there's more of this sweet stuff.

Thank you Elle, it was a pleasure.

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands

In the bottom of your ocean
It's all dark, I know
it's all cold, I know
Like you.
Wanted to drown, did you?

In the bottom of your grave
it's all silent, I know
it's all empty, I know
Like you.
Wanted to die, did you?

All these skies, above,
it's all stars, you know
it's all melodies, you know
unlike you.
Don't want that, do you?

No.

So don't be a little ***** about it.

Contemplated sharing this for a while since it could be easily misunderstood. Regardless, I bet I'm stepping on a lot of toes.

Just letting out, nothing special

Slowly. Slow pace
Over a few days
It was drained and went missing
I don't know what it is

Slowly. Slow glance
Over a few cracks
It has left before it went missing
No string left, only wax

Slowly. Slow breath
Over an endless depth
It had dug as it went missing
Given up on my strength

I fall

Peace is down there somewhere, just wait I'm still looking. Or whatever is down there.

Void

Wound around
Cobwebs, dirt, vacuousness

around, around
bound with silence

Arteries pound
never satisfied, never fulfilled

around, around
bound with silence

Born mound
dehazed of color, worn by time

around, around
bound with silence

Grown unsound
Insanity into delirium, insatiable craze

around, around
bound with silence

Death crowned
glorious champion, vigor of hand

around, around
bound with silence

Shade found
peace at heart, rebirth will stand

around, around
bound with silence

Wound around
Hollow, Void, Empty
For all to be Full

For those who give in no return;
For those who give until none is left to give.

Inspired by Hollow Knight and a Maintenance and repair of Level Instruments paper.
There is a bit more context, but it's long. I debated adding it but settled on not to, not to bore anyone. If you're interested, let me know and I'll add it or send it to you.
