I will not be slain, nor will I tame
and trade no stitch for kisses.
I am but ice, no use of dice
or foolish empty wishes.

Slick grass glistened heavy
After summer showers fell before a sun
That trickled veiled toward transcendent trees
Towered on the outskirts of the demesne - It unsheathed
A pearlescent canvas for a dreamer who paints ideals;

A reader finding signs in smiles and glances
Strolling paths free of fear to free imagination;
Summoning hopes against a fresh red/orange
Backdrop, and ignoring perilous heights to cast
A thought to moments yet unlived -
This fool's masterpiece.
Love  is  a  most   *foolish  emotion  used   to  *ones advantage
Thought I'd give the 10 words poem a go
She knows they'll buy the facade
The farce, her little play

She knows that she's convincing
A liar made of mistrust and heartbreak

She knows that no one cares
They say they do but laugh instead

Some have come close before
And foolishly she let them in

Her pandoras  box she let them view
And loses herself as they misuse it

Yet all is not bleak
All is not lost

Some whom she let view her box
Have never misused it once.
//And she never learnt her lesson and carried on making the same mistakes, the open hearted foolish girl//

ABC Poetically Foolish
A young poet, I am
Bilingual in rhythm and rhyme
Cast out of English seas
Doubt in my words

Evidently misunderstood
F#ck my ABC's, 123s

Gratefully humbled by critics

Heartbreak by lovers
I wish peace upon others

Joy to the world
King of all kings

Love eternally bound
May the alphabet
Never end

Oh, how I sound like tweets
Posting my twits

Questioning society's wits
Raising my fist

Strengthening my grip
Teaching the youth

Understanding my faith
V per Vittorio

Why do I question everything
Xavier resurrected

You represent me, &
Zither is my voice.

I miss you
but I bind my wrists when I think of you
Was I a fool . . .
Your name now on the list
A thought that's only wist-
ful
hurtful
as I bite my tongue and turn away
shake out your image from my head
before I bludgeon my chest
remembering my quiet idiocy
And your dimpled smile

My last words
You never answered
It brings relief to write and my hands become free again
Women say I'm foolish.
Then baby your
My fools gold ;)

Its all redirection until somebody gets killed
Then its the end
I just read 'Of Mice and Men'

I thought i had already moved past this,
But apparently not.
That afternoon you messaged me
Saying how beautiful i looked and how much you've missed us.

My heart got so overwhelmed with emotions.
It felt all so strange to me; i was so confused and curious.
All those times i came back to you and repeatedly messaged you
And got shut down.

I wanted to know WHY!
But i pushed that question to the back of my mind.
The fact that you were there, made everything feel normal again.
Ha! How foolish of me to think that you were there to fix things.

Thats So Typical of You.
To come back when you see me doing better.
Saying all the right things, just to leave once again
Im so naive, i should've known  .

We all got that one person we would take back in a second
no matter how much they've hurt us
.
Being attached  *****.  Cant  get. Over that person , hoping one day we'll  get back together.

breathless
heart beating
electrifying
silence
you stop
inhale
“I love you”
exhale
I open my eyes
“I love you too”
and the moment
savored
in the dark
for us
to keep
your arms
around me
your mouth
pressing against mine
my body
pulsating
learning
the rhythm
of yours
like waves
crashing
against the shore
so lost
in the moment
so lost
in each other
so lost
in this world
finally finding
one another
summer air
warm nights
I can’t let this end
hold on tight
I want to wrap it
and tuck it away
when the future comes
I will say
I was young
foolish
and in love
and that moment
ah
that moment
was enough
// yesterday was magical; words don't do justice //
