Palette

❝ We were of differing shades in the palette of colours.
You were blue
you were as calming and tranquil as water.
I was red
I was as dangerous and wrathful as fire.
You were white
innocence, pure and good.
I was black
mysterious, and full of depth.
But funny enough,
together,
we match like the pieces of jigsaw puzzles. ❞

Passion

Strike a match and I will burn
Becoming the fires that rage in Hell
With the molten ocean waves that churn.

My love is passion and I yearn
I must break free of this prison, this cell
Strike a match and I will burn.

Watch my heart as it begins to turn
I screamed and gasped as I fell
With the molten ocean waves that churn.

Maybe I will never learn
But what I've seen I will never tell
Strike a match and I will burn.

My heart claims it will not spurn
And that my feelings for you will not quell
With the molten ocean waves that churn.

These feelings I have worked to earn
I have finally cast my final spell.
Strike a match and I will burn,
With the molten ocean waves that churn.

A villanelle I composed for my Intro to Creative Writing class. It was very hard to write, and it took me a bit to complete it and be satisfied. To learn more about villanelles, click here: https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/text/villanelle-poetic-form

Perfect Match

I never regretted loving you
In fact, I blame myself
For not loving you more
For not flooding you with butterflies
For not making a spark
in your earthly colored eyes
For not hugging your pain and flaws
For not being there
when your skin need me the most
I blame myself
For not being the perfect match
That I didn’t make it literally
After I said I love you so much.

Lone

A sunflower looking for its sun,
A candle looking for its match,
Stick with whom, with you?

A moon looking for the sun,
A bee looking for its queen,
Sizing things up, with no one?

A sun waiting for you to bloom,
A match waiting to be lit,
Upside down, back to you.

A sun waiting to be found,
A queen waiting for its honey,
Bunch of thoughts, I'm alone.

For my person. I miss you.

Un-...

Unopened propane
Unlit match
Unfired gun
There’s always a catch

A Match Lit In Hell (A Match Made In Heaven)

The negative image of a drop in the sea...
All of my burning, reduced
To a spark in hell;
And if I escaped
I know what awaits,
That the sky would fall;
Heaven bright ablaze,
Every breath exhaled
Now holds the promise of
The cheapest ending yet
But I’m holding on
To seeing out the next sunset

-i let myself burn-

you must think i'm stupid, huh?
i saw you for what you were,
yet still i went for the ****.
but the joke was on me.
you were the gasoline and i was
the match.
the flames you emitted engulfed me.
i never had the chance of coming out alive,
and you knew that.
you devoured me whole.
i ignited you, but you burnt me.
if only you hadn't smoldered me with your deadly charm.

Things they never taught you about love pt. 1

To love
Is to light a candle in a dark room
And never
Forgetting to light it
Once it goes dark.

Match

To be loved

To be loved is the feeling of a warmth inside of you
The feeling of a flame burning so strong that your whole body becomes warm
A warmth that warms your body and soul
A fire you think never will go out
Until you get to the moment where you realize that the warmth only was a match and that all love burns to its end just like a match does.

Don't Fall in Love with Me

Don't fall in love with me.

I'm a devil in sheep's clothing dressed behind a brightly covered shirt and black jeans, bright eyes and a warm smile.
I will be cute. I will be sincere.
You could be standing in a busy crowd. Everyone. And I mean everyone is screaming in your ears. But. Just the thought of even seeing me will make you feel at home.
I have reeled you in.

Don't fall in love with me

I will get attached.
I will ask you what your doing about every hour.
I will ask you  about your day.
I will Instagram you, tweet  Snapchat, facebook and spam you.
I will worship the ground walk on  make you feel special. Because that is what everyone is suppose to feel.
I don't know it, you don't know it. But you just fell into my trap.

Don't fall in with me.

I WILL GET ATTACHED.
You will text me and If it's not .0236 seconds fast enough. I will get mad.
When I see that you answer my question with and "I don't know" guess what, you got me ******* furious.
But no, I won't tell you. That would be too easy.
I will save it for a another day. Explode on you like a unstable grenade.
"Hey honey" DON'T HEY HONEY ME!
You didn't been see it coming.

Don't fall in love with me

I will get sad.
I will question if you love me. Every. single. Day.
I will ask you to compliment me, even if I don't believe you or I don't deserve it.
I will compare you.
I will wonder why you aren't doing these things that I saw this stranger do with his girlfriend.
I will question why you didn't have the manners to open the door for me that ONE time.
I nip and pick at you.

Don't fall in love with me

You will grow tired, dnd your tiredness will grow to anger.
You will wonder why I did the things I did.
You will yell at me.
Tell me that I torture you.
You will scream and you curse. "Why this why that, why?"
I will question the things I did.
I will go "why this why that, why?"

Don't fall in love with me

I will lay those traps for you.
A series of bombs that I left lying all around us as I tap my hooves around the foundation.
I will for you to light your match Tap tap tap.

Don't fall in love with me

You will light that match

Don't fall in love with me.
