#content poems on Hello Poetry

Elioinai Jul 2017

I look for you here
something in me longs to find myself
hidden in someone's sorrowful words
or adoring lines
I look for a mirror here
as my eyes wait for your name
I want to see myself in blazing colors
Poems from the eyes of another
But selfish never gives me happy
and I stare at my own too much

I'm choosing contentment instead

Second to Second

physical flesh
of minds electric
exhale purple images
upon galaxy screens
silky neuron fabric
weaved with dreams
tie memories
to feeling

Happy is better than interesting

I used to think you had to be sad to write good poetry.

It always seemed to be true for me.
But it wasn't a problem,
I had plenty of material.

I mean, the best movies are the ones that make you cry right?
It's only the really good books that you throw across the room.

But yesterday I felt the need to write a poem.

So I tried to think of all my hardships.
And
I couldn't really think of any.
I realized that the most poignant moments in my life right now
Are happy ones

And maybe contentment doesn't make readers turn the pages.
Maybe my life isn't as interesting as it used to be.
But I think it's my new favorite story.

Futurebound

It's been seven months since I last saw everyone that ever mattered to me.
I've been anticipating my homecoming for two months because I missed my family.
I missed my older brother's ridiculous mannerisms,
His goofy laugh and stories.
It's been seven months since I've seen and heard any of that.
I needed my mother, because what child doesn't?
I missed her warm hugs and genuine smiles.
I missed her boyfriend and her silly nicknames she'd come up with for him.
I missed my dad and singing songs around the house with him.
I missed how he'd randomly burst out into song and dance.
I missed the smell of his cologne mixed in with cigarette smoke.
I missed my little brothers and sisters.
The shine in their eyes, the trill of their laughter.
I missed the smell of East Troy after it rains.
The quiet streets at night, and the chill of the air in the mornings.
I missed the lake, the fish, and the bugs.
I'm so happy to be back here spending time with my family and my friends.
That's what I came here to do.
I came here to create memories with my family that I only get to see about twice a year.
My life is perfect right now, and nobody can ruin it.
I'm home, I'm happy, and I don't have to worry about anything or anyone
Except for myself.

I'm not worried to walk outside my house and run into people I know because I don't stick my nose in other people's ****. I worry about my own business. I don't care about anything other than being home right now. My family is all that matters to me.

My Person

I always feel the most content
when I'm sitting or talking with you.

I'm so happy with you.

Happier

I am happier than you,
don't take it personal,
but it's true.
My life has direction,
yours,
does not.
You,
bully for fun,
lie to get attention,
create false personality traits,
to appeal to others.
I,
go out of my way,
shower my loved ones with
love,
praise,
and gifts.
I,
show my true colors.
I,
don't hide my flaws.
That's how to be happy.
Make others love the
real
you.

And hopefully,
you learn how to.

friends

It's nice to have people around you,
who you know won't attack you.
I don't feel like I'm walking on glass anymore.
I don't have to worry about ending up crying on the floor. It's nice, how my mind isn't racing with worries. I never knew a world without you, could still be happy.

B

I feel safe in your arms,
your scar blemished,
strong,
loving,
arms.
I feel happy in your gaze,
your green,
adoring,
loving,
gaze.
I feel content in your company,
your goofy,
awkward,
loving,
company.
I feel loved in your heart,
you sweet,
wondrous,
loving,
heart.

You are the love of my life. I know that.

I wait for love

I haven't given up on love.
It's not that.
But...
there's something in the way the night hollows out the heart,
it's like being sculpted.
It holds less sway over my thoughts than it did when I was younger.
I wait for love.
Yes, yes that's it.
