#embrace poems on Hello Poetry

LC Sep 2021

my fingers fell into cinnamon buns.
the sticky, sweet icing coated my nails.
the residue - stubborn and unyielding -
but enticing to lick, making me sick.

then my lips flirted with sultry wine
that pulled me into its safe embrace,
letting me breathe a sigh of relief
as I stared into space, enamored.

The pain in the scars

Walking on Sunshine
Embracing the pain
Never letting go
Still staying the same

Standing in the rain
My scars still raw
Clueless with regret
I wanna forget everything I saw

After all, We all have the scars to prove we showed up for it, right?

Watertight

Caulk these broken bows, please
whether salt or fresh water,
it has weight, presence
and if allowed to pour in
it will sink me

Trying not to think too much
won’t work
as the only perpetual motion found
in this empirical life
is in our anxious minds
so as life jackets go
it’s a no no

To ask for a shipwright is unfair
but to have you there,
tar brush in hand
is enough

Death's Embrace

As pulsing through my veins starts to slow way down
Tiny part of me is relieved
Blood swirling under skin nearly stands still
So subtle it's barely believed

My entire body pauses a moment
Then two
Paralyzed completely in place
As I prepare for the worst
A bed in death's embrace

Hearing goodbyes as world fades away
Quickly turns to black
Shifting from solid to spirit
Released from life to never come back

"We live on the cusp of death thinking that it won't be us..."

Spring

The sun stays longer each day,
as I wake up to your face.

By day we create,
by night we embrace.

Ocean Tears

The sound of an oceans breeze upon the shore,
the subline of every hearts broken sore.
Tears drip down my eyes,
and I see the way you move your lies.

the lick of sweet sweat slips down every curve of your collar bone,
tasting every inch and it fills my mouth,
with a salty embrace.

-Ocean Tears-
Not al poems are about me, but these are short forms of my little stories.
Thank you.
-Ocean Tears-

Love haiku

Love is indeed art
Simple to see and embrace
A challenge erased

What is love and how do we know it, couple times found in your life, only to be lost and discovered like the rise and fall of the sun. Fooled and shamed into believing only to see clearly later it was game and Pons were topled for her pleasure. She is an island that is not reachable if it was you'd be stranded and slowly die.

I create my own way
I am unique
I am a craze
Ready to sweep nations
Off their feet
And into my gaze
Where a hug
Full of warmth with care
Is waiting
To comfort
The inner workings
Of their internal maze 💖✨

Embracing Emotion

Be proud when you feel angry
It means that you are alive

It means you are not yet numbed
By all the ******* from outside

Be encouraged when you are crying
It means something touched your heart

Be grateful that you are still standing
Even if we're standing 1.5 metres apart

Be joyful knowing that joy is a portable tool
That you can stick onto another soul that has long ago been frozen

Feel accomplished when you see that joy melt that soul in transformation

So now what once was a cynic, is now somebody brand new

Give yourself some credit because that change started with you

Embrace your emotions like you are bracing for a fall

If we do not embrace all of ourselves

How do we love others at all?

Be proud when you are angry
Anger means you actually care

Always look for a reason to be here tomorrow
Even though tomorrow is never really here

embrace your emotions like you are bracing for a fall
