all these merry paintings fill his vacant evenings
the artist stays an extra hour to paint a single line
never satisfied

an indecisive hypocrite made a decision for once
...
just kidding
today was opposite day

a star burns
yet we watch it not trying to help
stop a beautiful fire.

if my heart would start to glow in the dark
every night at home with you or alone
you'd be shocked to know nothing gives me a spark
since you'd squint to find a heart gushing with love
instead a hole woefully without a springing soul
Oof this is why I deleted over 100 past poems...

I was born from the breathe of Satan-I was formed underneath a tree in Salem
I was sworn to **** the king with swords of Cain-I was torn in-between infamy and destiny from my name
I'm a nameless hatred created from the twisted creator seizing an unforgiving lust and hunger for another miserable maiden wasting her worth with words of wishes longing the chance to dance with the duke of death
but the bet begs black
and I'm dressed in red restless dripping decisions of every maiden's sins ever since Satan brought me back from the depths of *** and a forever reincarnation of Hell's retrieving-unforgiving-sanatorium
based on the 8th house

every time you cross my mind
fog fills my skull and clouds my thoughts
each time I say your  name
my tongue curls up and green travels through my lungs
any moment I see you close
turquoise trickles and travels onto my lips
such salty emotions I savor
...
you are the badtaste that lingers but I’m obsessed with the flavor

I hate hearing my baby sister cry so much.
I'm so excited to be the only child.

babe just let me in
suppose you're going to
leave me alone on an island again?
to watch you drown
I can't swim.
Just let me kiss
the bottom of your ear
just talk with me
and don't push away
but
start to let it be clear.
I wanna stay and make  mistakes
and take time to create
wishes with you
when it's dark and cloudy outside
I'd always close my eyes
and it would all come true
to stare at your bottomless blue crystal sea stained-glass.
Dance with me
make me swing
getting tipsy over the dizzy
way of how you sing giving a new feeling
Send me to sleep on a Saturday morning
help me if I get cold
then I'll hum the melody
you always taught me
since the beginning
please hold my love tight and true
cupid's dove
fly away so I can write with my last breathe
an epic conclusion

grey bathed in black and white are the only colors poets use to write.

my daughter sees all love,
in the sunlight she keeps beauty
we named her harmony for no harm to come
to her future daughters and company.
~
she was a lava lamp of love
giving off all she got
now 23 years pass all it's gone
no more light in a circle of dark.
~
maybe I shouldn't complain
all my life I begged for death
it's amazing how it can all change
given sunlight telling your lovers your wet
from the dark cloud chasing
you with empathetic tears
we call rain.
~
if I could get a second chance I wouldn't hesitate
to look back all my mistakes at a second glance
it's all meant to stay the same.
thank you-you beautiful beautiful people
