Small hairs sprinkle his hand
His touch is wet and uncomfortable
He smells of musk and ash
He's nervous

I try to contain myself from leaving
My minds fall back to you
It's like I'm sick
I gag on his smell

It's not one I know
Not one I want to taste

I hate you
Yet I come back
To your memory
Your sound

Is reminisced in my ears
You thwack and bang
Against my heart
Begging to be let out

I throw up on my words
They're like metal
Swishing and swallowing
My desire to let go

I end my meeting.
Leaving to my unwashed sheets
They outline the disgusting yearning
Of my body

A flash of light illuminates my face
Your picture
Your long hair.. and hairless arms..
I turn it off.

I have a date tomorrow.
I wrote this poem because although I'm now in a relationship. A happy one at that, I find myself reminiscing on things I shouldn't. There's always a pang of guilt that comes with such memories. Anyway, sorry for all the word *****. Let me hear your thoughts. And have a good day :)
She says,

"Open up your eyes to me," while we were on a blind date.
Some opinions come a bit late; early remarks are great —
And there’s a fearful much of men, of that phrase,
"oh, I'm late."

But I fear when she's running late for our date,
And secretly isn't coming anyway.

So my eyes remain shut; as from first interactions,
It looks for us, this thing isn’t going anywhere!

Words melt in the walls
Covered in paintings
Made of you
Made of me
Yours are beautiful
Careful strokes
Each of such precise yet casual calmness
The motion of your hands
They swing and move in such ways of a ballerina
Ones of a mother easing her child to a deep sleep
They recreate a sky that took so many billions
To become one of which it is now
You bring it into your own reality within moments
The lovely lights glow on a cotton canvas
Making music with the latex
darkening what's surrounding it
But me?
Mine are ugly
I leave rotting flesh in the daylight
Spred the shine of blood and paste the teeth of past fighters, veterans
They form the sight of ****** tires leaving streaks on asphalt
The animals that peel off roads, screaming with one last breath
in through your nose, out through your mouth
I'll hold you close and speak
"Let it melt in your mind"
"spit it out and light it up"
lets do it
together
we can burn the truth
Then we can take the melted remains
And make a balanced gallery
A museum made for 2
this poem took me about 3 months to properly write. the first draft started poor. the words felt bland and weak. I feel this new writing is much more descriptive.

Surely you heard
The stream babbling about us
The trees whispering amongst the wind
And the leaves crunching under our careful steps
The squirrels and turtles
Veering everyone away from us
I'll be sure to play this cassette back

The day the heart met, on that day,
Love sparked a brilliant ray.
Looked you in the eye, and told you
how much you meant to me,
And whispered the truth that set my heart free.

It was one sided, yet I loved you now and forever
Through every storm, we held on together.
I care for you still and I will forever
Through all of my time, my love will never sever.

I don't care anymore, I'm walking away, closing that door,
And leaving my love for you behind,
With a heart that's now free, no longer confined.

I hope you could see how much you meant to me,
And one day realize the love that never faded away.
I will always love you, and will always thank you for making me
the person I am today, Your kindness and care have guided my way.

I don't ever wanna fade away from you
I want to stay close, forever true.
So bare with me, and wait for me
Through all the storms, I'll set you free.

I will give you anything and everything you have ever wanted
To see your smile, I'll make all dreams uncharted.
I cant stop and wait for you, my heart beats fast, but I'll stay true.

I'm sorry you cant do anything about this, but I'll find peace, even through mist, and I'm sorry I couldn't have said this to you
I'd like to express my love and feelings for you through this way
With every word, my heart hopes you'll stay.

Sincerely, juujty.

Pass me the hot Cheetos
while we Netflix and chill

Order the pizza
while I get a refill

I'll choose the movie
And you pay the bill.
keeping it simple is sometimes the most exciting thing.

I rummaged through my wallet, checking if my card
was still nestled safely inside. “Yep, it’s here,” I muttered,
counting the cash I had on hand, just in case the card
decided to let me down.

Ah, our first date; my nerves were a whirlwind,
as I had never really ventured out with girls before.
A milestone in so many ways—my first date with a girl,
the inaugural use of my own credit card, and the first
time my hard-earned money spent on someone other
than myself or my parents.

And if I play my cards right, it might just
lead to our first kiss.
In midst of cold weekend
can we intertwine our hands—steps to
grab tonkotsu ramen as promised?

This is my silly haiku "tonkotsu ramen" inspired by my tonkotsu ramen liking! I'm scenario-ing a tonkotsu ramen date at Saturday evening in this haiku ^^

I asked her out on a date,
Never thought I would get any hate,
Turned around to look at the clock,
Never expected I would get blocked.
