Summer Dec 2015
i am not a flower
i do not need your sunshine to grow.
i am trying to be fine on my own.
rain or snow
do not get close.
i’ll be fine on my own.
although
I won't sleep most nights,
not because I'm lonely
it will be because
I'm scared when
time swallows me whole
and forces me to remember
how it stung in the shower
last December.
Shayma A Dec 2015
Once upon a chilly October night
we'll lay under our blanket of tranquility and comfort,
and we'll gaze as the stars gather round,
from all the corners of the serene sky,
to listen in on our secrets and conversation.

But we won't care,
as long as they bring us enough light
to be able to glimpse each others eyes
and as long as they beautify the sky.

And perhaps,
as our souls, the stars and the moon
dance in harmony with the night breeze,
we'll feel complete.

I Tried To Run From My Problems.
I Tried To Leave Them Behind.
I Tried To Become More Solemn.
But, The Tears In My Eyes Would Not Dry.

I Tried To Think Of The Future.
I Tried To Not Focus On The Past.
I Tried To Make My Life Smoother.
But, My Demons Were Too Fast.

I Tried To Never Hope.
I Tried To Never Dream.
I Tried To Cope.
But, The Pain Was Extreme.

I Tried To Give Up.
Yet I Tried To Believe.*
But, If There's One Thing I Know
Its That My Try's Need To Be Complete.
I keep trying to accomplish things, and I have yet to actually accomplish then. I need to work on that.
Secret Poet Oct 2015
When I look at you, the stars align
and I feel as if you are picking up my broken bits piece by piece. You make all the pain disappear, and help me forget all the scars as they fade away. I didn't know I was falling for you, I feel as if you complete me.
If only you felt the same way...

Once upon a time,
I was thinking about you.
Wishing with my one and only dime,
That I could spend some moments with you.

Your beautiful eyes,
Your peerless smile
Oh,
it would be nice,
If you let me stare at it for a while.

Your good personality,
Your heavenly attitude
Oh,
it would be an honor,
If I could hear your deepest gratitude.

Am I falling in love with you?
Yes, I think so.
Are you feeling the same?
I hope so.

Once upon a time,
These impossible dreams of mine
Became unexpectedly true,
Because of...
You.
From A Heart Sep 2015
Am I only equivalent to my words?
If this is the case, then you define me, as I am only memories
You could remember every line I said last year,
But not recall my words from a minute ago.
Accept me for my wholeness.

Will you judge me for how I feel?
Don't worry, I will realize I am wrong
But for now I am right.
All is ask is that you don't dismiss me.
Accept me for my wholeness.
Steele Sep 2015
Worn converses scuff the floor.
     The crowd sings, and they roar
     his name. Things aren't the same
     like anonymous Mondays before.

He pulls out his strings. Silence.
Steel vibrates and sings; Violence
erupts and again he hears his name.
It isn't the same... but he finds it
strangely fitting; On this stage
he's the benefactor and the tyrant.
He's the laughter, killing quiet.
It's not your average Monday
but no surprise, he finds he likes it.
Cordelia Rilo Sep 2015
Your hair was long when we first met
you would crawl under the blankets
and I would feel it tangle in between my fingers
your skin was porcelain cream
the taste and feel of honey

In these moments of silence we created a world of fantasy
holding each other
we built buildings and temples
then watched them burn down
from the holes we had dug

Without her I
Am naught;
With her
I am all.

ii.

Without her I
Am lost;
With her
I am found.

iii.

Without her I
Am in mine grave;
With her, I am free
Not a slave.

iv.

Without her I
Am in peril;
With her
I canst seeith, speaketh, breatheth, liveth on her holy water.
