Does anyone want a hug?
Like a really good cuddle.
I've just really felt so alone these days,
And I doubt I'd be okay.

I guess I just want someone to stay,
Stay even 20 seconds of a day.
Because I badly want a hug...
Does anyone want a hug?
I'm just so done with the gravity of my failures in school these past days. I haven't even gotten quality time with my friends

Having the sudden urge to hug someone, but restraining yourself because you don't know hour they would react.
Making this series a thing, introducing feelings and defining the by the scenarios they come from.  I'm in between using loquacious dictionary language and putting things simply.
We used to stay up 'till 12 to communicate
Sacrifices were made to be together
There was no need to elaborate
Our common endeavour

Love was sleek
Love was tangible
It was never like hide and seek
Where we couldn't see each other anymore

My hugs satisfied you
Your touch satisfied me
I was in front of the que
Of being in the heart I wanted to be

A stray eye
Was never unintended

I’m tired of being alone,
Letting myself fall back into depression.
Sometimes I wish somebody
Would love me.

My family is great,
But they don’t realize my pain.
I wish somebody
Would miss me.

I feel sad.
I need someone to care,
Or pretend to, at least.
Please?

Maybe it’s a “phase”
Maybe one day I won’t be lonely.
That one day, someone, who cares,
Will be brave enough to hug me.

Could someone possibly tell me,
I’m all they’ve ever wanted?
Tell me I’m gorgeous,
And say I’m the only person,
Perfect enough for them?

Not now at least.
Probably never.
Could be close.
I’m not sure.

Maybe someone will adore me,
As much as I adore them.
Hopefully, they won’t have
To pretend.

At 3 am,
In a small city
Where the stars barely shine
And the darkness is silent,
You can hear hidden crickets
And feel the ghosts of forgotten memories.
They call it the witching hour,
But I call it
The hour of inspiration.
Because it's at 3 am,
That I write my best poems.
But it's also the only time,
That I let the tears fall
And I allow myself to think
Of hugs from winter,
Conversations with the breeze,
And the kisses from the stars.

we both like hugs and cats
we're pretty much the same person!
she makes my mornings so much easier,
this friend of mine.

last year,
i didn't know her very well.
(i didn't know anyone very well;
a new school district, if you will.)
but she's the loud to my quiet
the pretty to my clumsy
and the fight to my meekness,
this friend of mine.

this year,
we hold hands,
and hug,
and laugh,
and i'm very glad to have her,
this friend of mine.
for one of my best pals

Words Of Love.


There you stood, in front of me,
I sat and stared, with a distant grin.
My thoughts had gone up, to a better place,
You shine such an, amazing grace.


You must have thought, I’d lost my mind,
I must have looked, a little frightening.
You must have thought, I like that guy,
When our friends introduced you to me.


But now I know, the thoughts you think,
Are everything, I’ve ever wished for
And now I know, the words you the speak,
Are the loving words, of an unbroken trust


And now I know, the thoughts you think,
Are everything, a boy could wish for
And now I know, the words you speak,
Are the Heaven sent, words of love.


And if I ever, let you down,
I hope you’ll let me, make it up to you.
And if I ever, bring you down,
Just know I never, meant to hurt you.


For you my love, are everything,
My one and only, true love lady.
You my love are my favorite dream,
The one who can truly, be satisfied with me.


And now I know, the thoughts you think,
Are everything, I’ve ever wished for
And now I know, the words you the speak,
Are the loving words, of an unbroken trust


And now I know, the thoughts you think,
Are everything, a boy could wish for
And now I know, the words you speak,
Are the Heaven sent, words of love.


So hold me tight, don’t let me go,
I want to have your love forever.
So hold me tight and truly know,
With you my life could only be better.


I offer up my heart to you,
So please step down from your pedestal
And take all the love I have to give,
For you my love are truly incredible.


For now I know, the thoughts you think,
Are everything, I’ve ever wished for
And now I know, the words you the speak,
Are the loving words, of an unbroken trust.


And now I know, the thoughts you think,
Are everything, a boy could wish for
And now I know, the words you speak,
Are the Heaven sent, words of love.


Come and lay down, here with me,
Let me massage away, all your troubles.
For with you I can, become free,
I can truly look forward, to tomorrow.


For if I have you by my side,
Nothing can stop, this true believer
And if I have you in my life,
I know I can be truly complete, yeah.


For now I know, the thoughts you think,
Are everything, I’ve ever wished for
And now I know, the words you the speak,
Are the loving words, of an unbroken trust.


And now I know, the thoughts you think,
Oh my gosh!  I do truly love you
And now I share my thoughts with you,
My love I feel the same way you do.


And now I know, the thoughts you think,
Are everything, a boy could wish for
And now I know, the words you speak,
Are the Heaven sent, words of love.

I keep reading
lovely tributes
to grandparents
especially
to grandma
it seems

I smile
sometimes
a tear
then a tug
remembering wishes
remembering dreams


I remember
kids at school
"headed to grandma's"
at the end of
school days

going to see her
going to play

I remember
my yearning
when
hearing about
the cookies she made

the stories she told
the hugs she gave

It might be
grandma
or nanny
or gran

they rang
in my ears
as I wished for
my own to listen
and understand

those names my lips
wanted badly
to form

my tongue to
taste
cookies
fresh and warm

my arms wanted
to hug her
tight

as she hugged me
back just right

my fingers ached to
brush
fine silver hair

as I'd rock
there in her chair

to tenderly stroke it
away from soft eyes

perhaps
as blue
as blue as the skies

my heart wanted
to say
I love you
grandma
I love you, I do
and
one day
I'll write a poem
just for you
I know grandparents are special. I just wish I knew it firsthand. My grandmothers both died before I was born and my grandfathers when I was far too young to remember them. Thank you to those of you who are/were lucky enough to have grandparents for the beautiful tributes I read here!

"What is as ****** as the setting sun?"
They inquired.

Without any hesitation
I pulled your picture up
And
Showed them your smile

The world has been shocked
Ever since.
