I'm gonna' grind through this notepad like the nervous do their teeth
Ive become in love with this art because it's a part of me
Hard to see? No
Ill undress it with C notes
Approaching rap like it's yoga assuming a new pose, but please know..
That NOTHING ever works
       NOTHING ever comes to pass
     NOTHING ever hurts
And that's that pessimistic part of me that has no part in party scenes it's bothered since this mucus has slowly started hardening its hard to breath.
     But still the want to live never dies and when I do its "peace. Much love Fam. High five."
Deuces to the sky with no regrets,
Im falling through this funnel life creeps until its death,
I am here then i left..

A pointless mystery to many men.
We live like products to get placed and hide their needles in our skin.
Everybody run fast vast landscape, concrete, Modern day jungle right here where the bomb meets
The ground....

Goodnight moon
Goodnight world
For the joys you bring
And the lessons we learn
Tomorrow's a new day
And we can try again
Even if we fail
we always have the stars
And we can always say
Goodnight moon
Because the moon will always shine in the light full of darkness

I was wearing a green shirt paired with our PE pants
Clothes that seemed to add coldness to my body
Nervousness was gnawing unto me
Even just opening the door gave me cold feet
I almost backed out
They were talking to me and all I could say was yes
I stood there like a display
I opened my mouth
Nobody was talking
They were actually listening
Then they looked at one another and I felt timid
Fear knocked on my door again
I say the next line then bowed my head
Pretending that the action goes along with the scene
I don't look at them
I drop on the floor
I am dead

I wanted to find a place where I could just publish some poems online. I've actually just written this as to ease my nervousness when I joined an audition in our school. I did not get the part but at least I produced this poem :)
Phenomenological Dec 2017
Wandering lines of water
Lost, flowing through the glass; not
known not certain,

A fragment of a lost source, vanished from begotten source,
Etching lines, deep lines, an impression into
Glass with a responsibility, a sire to
That which ridicules the world that
Stands avast in light that wanders past the eyes,
Eyes of wonder,
Peering to that beyond yonder,

A world of ink, flowing through the vast
Cacophony of falling waves, crashing, raging,
Violet indignation.
Cursing the gazing sun that holds the world
In yonder;
A pair of open arms,
Closed
To the passion that precedes the red velvet that amasses in the east.
An army that shall never cease.
They ponder on silent dreams as they plough
Through the sea that never fails
To open up the arms of isolation.

Hi, I'm Samantha.
I like to write poetry.
Maybe you do too?

It started quite some
Time ago when I thought to
Put words on paper.

Now I'm here, writing
Some simple little haikus
For everybody.

I hope you enjoy
My collection of poems.
Please have a nice day.
I'm so happy to finally be a part of the Hello Poetry community!

in the morning,
you wonder to yourself why
you feel effusive,

and then you remember that
you were left with
nothing but melancholy.

he left you with pieces of yourself
still under his teeth and you
ponder why you
feel so empty.

you always put fragments
of your tumultuous love on
anything else that ensorcelled
you and yet you still
question why you
feel so vapid.

in the afternoon,
you gaze at the gaps of
your woven heart,

admiring how you still chose
to love albeit it has been
treated by uncouth and
cantankerous men, grabbing your
jagged edges and claiming it as a phantom's home.

walking home was certainly an
experience for you, you were
scrupulous on avoiding the cracks
on the sidewalks because you
were afraid you would fall too deep and wander around the empty
hallows of quandary.

in the evening,
you wear
a careworn visage.

the efflorescence that you
once desired for was kept
untouched at the kiss of the
pale moonlight, swooning you with every echo of apologies dripping down
your god-forsaken body.

your heart, beaten and
turned into everything
sublime, is ensconced behind
the walls, cosseting the bruises
he had left you and not once did his
eyes become rueful.

loving is a mixture of
boiling thoughts and sleepless
nights, a state of perplexities
wherein you plead that
maybe, just maybe, he still thinks
about you too.

I'm an angel trapped in a bubble, who is remarkably naïve.

What will happen to this angel when the bubble bleeds?

Will I fall into the depths of this horrid world or will I stand tall above the trees?

Honestly,

I think I will fall into the depths of my own naiveness, blind to what I see.

Capuccino Nov 2017
Sugar, flour milk and eggs
to start the greatest thing I made.
Butter, cinnamon and vanilla,
to make them smile with delight.

A little bit of this and that,
and its ready to bite.
From the humble kitchen I made
to the hearts of those who would taste.

I am sweet like my cupcakes,
But I am shy to say them by myself.
But I tell them by my craft,
And they know my love is soft at last.

I wish to be a mockingbird

To imitate perfectly
singing at the sight
of a flicker of light- right on time

To amaze and never once fail
to carry a perfect tune
with just enough joy
harmonizing till noon

A melody already heard
yet new and unique

A master of imitation
an artist within
following a yellow streak

Every chime and song
is voiced peculiarly
not a hint of hesitation

Moving it’s body rhythmically  
it never doubts
For it knows which direction it shall go

I wish to be a mockingbird

To imitate so well
to be cherished
because I am
because I do
without fully being myself

People say that love is the best feeling in the world.
But i say that dying sounds more pleasing than the heartbreak that comes after love.
