the cold bites back, and the wind does not exist in
sunny california. difference? between
cloudy and gloomy. it's wet and there's ice,
and i'm dressed in nothing but jeans, blue wool, crocs,
admiring a closed loan shop, no street tacos yet,
but a pizza shop firing up their stoves, ovens,
the yeast and olive oil pressed into bowls of
dough, to form nothing but endless
platters and platters of margaritas, pepperoni,
a side of breadsticks.

a man curls up like a kitten seeking warmth on a
bus bench, waiting for the great big fireball to
embrace everything again.
but it is winter, creeping into the shadows,
into my blankets, into nighttime when the rain begins
to clean up when no one else is awake

the moon smiles fondly, and the insomniacs
find solace in the peace of night, when their time
is in no one else's hands but their own,
not in the hands of their mother, warm by
observing the rest of the world
from their perch like a ****** of crows
waiting for the next fallen fry or crumb that
falls in their line of sight

there’s a woman walking, in her mid thirties
and holding a bag of tomatoes, i think
it's not coincidence; she looks like an aunt or
grandma i've seen at church, and there’s a
man probably in his twenties who trails after her
not far like a son

I loved you the first time
I loved you the last time
Mon amour, your eyes, like a peacock feather kissed by the sun, glancing between emerald and sapphire, as if nature blessed your eyes with petrichor and the scent of endless blue.

Hair like wheat fields, a lion's mane swirled with amber and gold.
Curls soft and elegant
Unadorned but intricate

You stood with peau beige skin
Warm but yet so cold and unsure
It glimmers in the sun, ivory white
Unbleached, untouched.

You werent just perfect, your heart was as kind as the first rain after a drought, gentle, soaking into the cracks.
Love soft, kind, Agape and selfless.
All the things you do, the ways you move, they send me straight to heaven.
This is my first poem being posted on hello poetry, I honestly don't know how to use this.
I wrote this poem while drinking a Latte at 2am and thinking abt my first love so yeah

Sweetened Tea

I have taken shots of the dark, running aground, mindlessly breaking under tow
Where is that solemn day? Fallen into atrophy, unable to wrap these pulped knuckles as I have prayed and fasted to an empty sky
The tiny dagger like hands ask for help, but sorry, you're not sick enough for us to care

I have been given strong trees, but my water poisons their bark
I inherit a mind of wonder, but the heroes in my book have all moved on
I was given a dandelion, that could not grow in my cracks

There is endless rancor, and I have grown tired
I can't offer you a word of hope nor a long and weary traveled ray of sunlight
This Earth's dirt spits into my soles, we cannot walk out of here

Put my hopes down resentfully as they weep and pray, n'evr enough green to cover those horrid thorns
A statue learned to shed nothing, in moss coated granite
In an unmoving ground I have elucubrated a remedy, in capsules that know naught color

Aged eyes grow exhausted circles, faithful to a hospital bed taut with restraints
Because I am, I will be in solitude, a lesson August's light never lets rest
I am broken ostentatious displays not worthy of your time, unable to carve a smile

Can you keep your head up? Can you resist sorrow's attempt to hurt you?
Amist a sea of tarnished rubies, you were the last and best light of the evening
I have tried everything, only to cut my sails, the future failed to change me

The things others have seen, hide from my view
The feelings have become fleeting I once held so dear
It bitterly breaks my heart

There once was an angel who fell in love with a fern
And I was given a dandelion that could not grow in my cracks
When your eyes meet, I miss you

Always and everywhere,
The man who can speak well holds the power.
And the one who lacks the courage to speak—
Always and everywhere—
Stays lower.

No one knows what he hides from others:
The past,
A future,
Or his own feathers.

A past best left behind,
A future woven with lies,
Or feathers meant to fill the skies.

But what if he finds the courage to speak?
To speak of what was left behind,
To tell a future free of lies,
Or simply—
To fly into the open sky.
"Always and everywhere, the man who can speak well is the man who has the power."
-John Wanamaker

I remember smiling brightly
and laughing
when talking about you–
as if you were still alive.
I don’t know who I was lying to,
if to them,
to your memory
or to myself.
im back:)

I remember loving you on a sunny day
Roses and Kisses
You said I’d never get away
But somehow things began to slip away
Will you still listen?
To one more thing I want to say

I just want to see you one more time
Feel the warmth of your hand in mine
Taste your ruby lips of wine
Will you stand here by my side?
Pledge you’ll never say goodbye
Love me ‘till the end of time
My metaphor love

I remember long walks in the night
Holding you closely
Kissing you under the moonlight
Everything back then was so special to me
Life was so simple
Take me back to yesterday

I just want to see you one more time
Feel the warmth of your hand in mine
Taste your ruby lips of wine
Will you stand here by my side?
Pledge you’ll never say goodbye
Love me ‘till the end of time
My metaphor love
Here is the video for the song

I want to go home
where is it?
Where is home?
Is it here
or is it there?
I don't think it's anywhere.

State to state
I want to escape
I want to leave
but where do I go?
I want to leave
I want to leave
I want
to
leave

But where do I go?
