When the dopamine hits
Tongue whips
Colours claw
My heart skips
I start to warm
To people, the outside
When the dopamine hits
Play, quips
Imagination is alive.

Will you remember her?
She was so fun after all!
She laughed by eyes, laughed softly.
She was so light and airly at all.
Will you remember her?

Will you remember her?
She so loved all sunsets,
Loved stars and caught their light!
She ran away in her sleeps some place.
Will you remember her?

Will you remember her?
She so adored winter laugh,
Snowdrifts to be higher, the snow to be white
And bitterlly cold and not in half.
Will you remember her?

You will remember her!
She so loved to love!
She gave of herself wholeheartedly!
She couldn’t live without love!
You will remember her!
Love is often so simple, so light, so airy, so pure, so real. But we just don't see it. But then, when we remember, it all comes back in our memory...
Thank you very much for reading this poem! 💖

Love me as I am,” you say —
The dumbest line we use each day.
It holds no truth, it holds no grace,
Just empty words in a worn-out place.

You mumble it with trembling tone,
He looks through you, cold as stone.
You hoped for poems, stars, romance —
But he won’t give you one more chance.

You dreamed a boy with softer hands,
Who feels, who sees, who understands.
But hearts like his, so dark, withdrawn,
Will never bloom, will never dawn.

You wanted tales with happy ends,
You hoped he'd break, but no—he bends.
nder touch, no gentle smile,
He’s drowned in poison, hate, and bile.

The light once clear has turned to ash,
His soul is twisted, cold, and brash.
He won’t believe in something pure—
Too scared to love, too insecure.

“Love me as I am,” again—
You chant it like a holy strain.
But poems aren’t for girls who cry,
And he’s too lost to even try.

“Love her as she is,” you fool—
It’s not such nonsense, not so cruel.
But blind and proud, you walked away,
And let your joy just rot and stray.

I have a word on my tongue and funny enough it sounds like ton mixed with tan, as in tongue

How do you spell it?
Are there any letters left,
or ways to encourage pronunciation like I intend

Like tahn of meanings withheld for now
Or taan, the power within
From the mouth
then someone's mind,
then mine.
Or I could use other letters and make another word.
tohn, taun, toan, or T͓a̴ňᶰ
I kind've even want to play with new and other characters/letters and words that make more cents
scents
or sense
Uck, English is strangely
I recall the faux weddings
That youth had adorn.
We were something like five or six,
Playing in her attic.
They had setup
A whole play marriage altar
Out on the back lawn.
My "bride-to-be"
Was dressed in her attire properly,
White veil & everything.
We had often played at house,
But never at matrimony.
It was always explicitly implied,
In such games,
That we were already married.
I did, she did -
You may kiss;
Sweet pronouncement!
Just as with half of all marriages,
We eventually grew apart.

Maybe it was the economy,
Maybe it was our goals;
Maybe it was because we were children,
Maybe because it was just for fun.

I still remember picking for eggs
At her home on Easter.

Police at the circus:
Ok, buddy, why the scream?
Excitement is for children, here...
Thoughts of adulthood, should learn to be

The juggler says hi
When may has an opportunity, baring a tooth
The fright of charity, is in the air, with silence
Terror came, when pasts are aloof?

The third ring, comes forward...
Sated angels, with misery for needs each?
Knowing a drama in the lie, we sternly compare what starred
A cagey house among many fields, we know the faring vanity...

Letting the culprit, ride the elephant?
We saw the problem, animals with a pace for us...
Have the cordiality to look, and see the limit
Of a surprise, happy enough to feed and pet; with thus?

A happier boat?
With moments to clear the board...
Saintly fights, with the voice of a stranger, are what we thought
Getting hysteria out of the way, makes good nature have a word?

With a wisdom's, shadow?
Prepare our smile, with a remembering guise...
Of what worry was to your fellow man, a place to hold
Ones distance to a wish, that wasn't a person again? home pie...
eeny meeny miney moe, why did the tiger go home? because it smiles better there...

The life of a mortal is one of contradiction. Contradiction of mind and body.
Contradiction of choice and fate.
When we stare into divine eyes,
It all seems to align.
When she breaks your gaze.
Well.
Ain't that a *****.
Wooden spoon for you. dear sir.
Ask questions. Get answers.
Make better decisions.
Ffs.
