These are some beautiful things:
A baby's first smile,
A bird in the wild,
A bride on the aisle,
A love that's worthwhile,

Warm wind in the trees,
The salt in the seas,
The buzz of spring bees,
Winter's first freeze,

A loved one's laugh,
A child's handmade craft,
An actor's autograph,
A newborn calf,

The sunrise in the sky,
And the sunset alike,
And kind passersby,
The stars in the night,

The wind in one's hair,
Sweet spring on the air,
A mother's care,
A child's prayer

The color of skin,
True feelings within,
The sound of violins,
And feeling sheepskin,

A book in my hands,
My feet in the sand,
Stories of another land,
And the promised land,

The leaves in the fall,
Mountains like walls,
Sounds of a waterfall,
The smell of rainfall,

Peace after war,
And petrichor,
And sand on the shore,
And a winning score,

Peace at night,
And perfect light,
And a first sight,
And a flying kite,

A smile so dear,
A kiss so clear,
A loved one near,
And a new come year,

And hope that everything will be okay

These are the beautiful things
I could go on and on and on about beautiful things, even ones that don't rhyme. I fall in love with the little things, like how my friend only eats apples with a knife, or how my mom never actually drinks her coffee, she forgets about it and leaves it in the microwave ten times a day. I love that my cat can tell when I can't sleep and comes and lays right up against my back and purrs to help me sleep. I love that whenever my best friend is thinking, she subconsciously touches the back of her thumb to the indent above her upper lip. I fall in love with little details. There are just as many beautiful things in this world as there are ugly ones. Don't forget to savor them. ❤
People say you fall in love
I like to think I flew.
The only fall I've ever felt
Is getting over you.

|b.g.|
Late nights, short poems, and working through the same feelings in different memories.

I can feel you fading away
From every pore of my body
Your existence is sweating out
Leaving me anew.

I can feel my heart
Healing itself,
Only peace resides inside.

I can feel things changing
For a better future,
For me to start living again and
For me to fall in love with myself
Once again

it's been years since I met
A guy I thought worth admiring for
Didn't realize the possible outcome
If I pursue these uncontrollable feelings

Everytime I lay & think
I would say, "Finally, I've moved on."
But it would always turned out as a lie
And let me continue anticipating things

I cannot tell that I've fully forgotten
The happiness & pain that lingered
When I was falling in love with you
What if I tell you I still am?

To you, whom I fell in love with
Always know that this mere tingling feel
Will always adore  you
Even though you'll never look at me

*the way you look and feel for her

it's okay to be in love--

falling for that clerk that toasted your bagel
first thing in the day,
winking at the guy next to you
at the gas pump as he admires
your Femme ride--

this girl in my heart
shies away from feeling,
but expresses so much--

like knowing how to skate but
refusing to because of how free and
happy it makes her---

Pump the breaks!
Seize the ******* day!

it's okay if those temporary others
don't share those feelings,
but rather acknowledge your
gratitude and shift their own thinking--

that clerk's job isn't meaningless,
that guy at the pump isn't a creep--

meeting the right human at the exact
Cosmic time is absurd,
thrilling and anxiety-causing but
smiling at those that pass through
makes the big things seem so much smaller--

just breathe, fellow traveler
it gets easier--
Life can be a cluster-**** of emotion but that's no reason not to try. (01.31.2016)

I am too dumb to fall in love with you
don't know why but you're making me to
I don't know whats with you
All i know is I love you

You're turning my life into bliss,
every time I see you
All I want is love,
love that will be coming from you

I want to escape the reality,
the reality that you don't love me
But I'm still hoping for the time,
that you will feel the same way too

10 months have already passed
Yeah,I have just realized
Its almost a year,baby
and I'm still hoping for you to be my lady
This is a poem for my close friend. I just wrote a poem to demonstrate or tell her situation.

I loved the way her cheeks turned a slight cherry red and how she became a closed shell when someone complimented her beauty
She was always the happy girl everyone knew but it seemed nobody but me heard the misery and slight sarcasm in her words
And I loved how she was a walking sign with closed written all over her, but she let me in anyway
And god how I loved the way she talked to me so differently than everyone else
Most of all, I loved how she was so afraid to show her sadness, except to me.

"I think I fell in love with her misery"

I love you today and tomorrow
With all the sorrows that may follow
With you by my side my heart can never be hollow
And without you I rather be solo
Because you are the only girl that holds all my tomorrows
I love you today and tomorrow

I think I haven't felt this feeling
In such a long time.
It's different.
Just the thought of his voice
Makes me giggle.
It's definitely different.
Just the the thought of him
Makes me laugh.
I haven't even met him
For 2 years or something.
I only can see him through his photograph.
And it already makes me happy.
But I want more than a photograph.
I think I got some love-struck
This time.
