Un respiro.
Un exhalo.
Poco a poco,
el cuerpo
analiza lo pasado.
Apago los ojos,
solo veo blanco.
Blancas las sabanas de la cama desordenada,
durante el momento en que dos almas se reencontraban.
Blanca la tela que el torso cubría,
al caminar sintiendo la arena, por la oscura noche en la que dos corazones corrían.
Blanco el destello de las estrellas percibidas,
que hacía arriba era lo que veían.
Blanca la mente, ya que fascinada y demente se encuentra.
Empeorando al desvanecerse en aquellas brillantes ventanas de tonos cafés que mesmerizan.
Mariposas blancas aleteando colman
todo aquello que al cuerpo conforma.
Un respiro.
Un exhalo.
Ahora la mente
se encuentra en relajo.

i couldn't stop staring as the coffee dripped from her lips
she hooked her thumbs under her belt loops, resting her palms on her hips
i admired the curls that fell atop her forehead,
feeling the glowing sensation as my cheeks burned red
her name was sweet, like chocolate on my tongue
and the only thing i could compare her to was our everlasting sun

-PJM
based off of a fan fiction i was going to write but never finished. i really want to though...this poem was supposed to be by the main guy in the story, who's an aspiring poet in college, talking about the main girl, who he'd just *formally* met in a barnes and noble starbucks cafe. i don't know, maybe it's cliche, but i'm just really into that kind of thing. thought it was pretty cute.

The Life of a Bee
Busy, busy
Buzzing, buzzing, buzzing
Workerbee, Queenbee, Bumblebees, Honeybees
Harvesting, pollinating, nesting
Honey, wax
The productive Life of a Bee

I AM A THING OF BEAUTY, A SIGHT TO BEHOLD.
I EXTEND MY WINGS TO FLY AND HOVER WHEN I GROW TIRED, THEY
FOLD.
I AM THE RED ADMIRAL VARIETY.
ON TOP MY COLOURS ARE BLACK WINGS, ORANGE
BANDS AND SPOTS OF WHITE.
UNDERNEATH MY COLOURS ARE OF A DIFFERENT SIGHT.
FROM EARLY SPRING TO WINTER I CAN BE FOUND IN
WOODLANDS OF THE SOUTH.
LAYING MY LAVAE ON NETTLES, DRINKING FROM FLOWERS BEAUTIFUL MOUTHS.
I START MY LIFE AS LARVAE, TRANSFORM INTO A CHRYSALIS FROM WHICH MY ADULT BODY GROWS.
FATHERLESS AND MOTHERLESS I MAKE MY OWN WAY IN THIS WORLD.
ONCE METAMORPHOSIS IS COMPLETE, MY WINGS I UNFURL.
I FLAP MY WINGS AND FLY
FROM FLOWER TO FLOWER POLLINATING, AS I GO.
ONE OF NATURE’S OWN MIRACLES.

Her Imperious Canticle rewarded
From the butterflies of monarchy
Mermaid scales are her bouquet
An ombre is the debut
Crystal corals are the stars on her face
Below pink rings that scale a tune
Which the winged beauties will charm in too
An amazing debut for the see through
Of a dynasty that glows in the prism moon.
My first poem of 2019, based on this amazing artwork: https://www.instagram.com/p/BsvsTLbFt2o/
Please follow this artist, she is astounding. Also, I tried to make an unrhyming poem that instead focused on description...Free verse is the name of the genre, thx Flo for reminding me lol

I used to get these butterflies
Beautiful creatures that simply tickled a little as their wings lightly brushed against my stomach
I don’t know when or why
but these butterflies became dragons
angry fire-breathing beasts
That set my insides a blaze
And I am being swallowed whole by the flames

The day that
I
Become
A ghost butterfly
I will
Break free from
The crytaless
I shall take of
Have a flight of fancy.

Velvety paint
Upon wings
Creating elegance
And grace;
Angelic creatures
Flutter around
Traveling miles
Landing gently
On some
Rose blooms
Staring again
Another day
Another two-word poem
