With my head on straight,
I hear the trees falling
with no one around,
for I am no one.
They do, in fact, make a sound.

With my eyes seeing clear,
Just another choice
just another day
just another voice
just another play.
Not enough time, not enough love,
not of enough of a reason
to keep trekking through the mud.
Not enough words to nail down what
you're thinking of the sinking
and the rising of the flood.
Too much silence, too much disguise,
too much of nothing, too many sweet little lies,
too much of something I can't recognize,
too many angles of mysterious intent.
Too much to wrangle, all my patience spent.

And yet...?
no idea what this is supposed to mean. It just felt good to write it.
Raindrop, drop-top
You hit me on my soft spot
Thought it was just a play
But I won't let you go away
At least, not today

Can't I keep you Lil bit longer?
As someone to linger
I promise I won't be a burden
Or leaving you all of the sudden

Happiness is near
When you are here
Why don't we cherished
Before our memories vanished?

she wanted to be everything and nothing
roll universe in her palm
like a marble,
stars flame on her tongue
she spoke of a world
greater than this one
when she finally felt moon rock
cold hard basalt
heavy in her hands
she missed malleable soil stretched
into beds of clovers and daffodils,
craved the warmth of a star.

I write stories about love;
while you are there to read them.
I smell hard copies of bondpapers and graphite;
While your eyes were fixed on digital graphics
I’m obsessed on taking pictures;
While you are already contented by them on mind.
One day, Cupid take his role and
Our hidden strings started to connect
No one could explain the things behind this magic;
The love we both feel and its extremities--
The uncertainties despite of each other’s promises
Without our names, who are we?
Are we that Ying and Yang that are meant to be?
Or the typical love stories
Sweet, steamy, and paradise at first;
But bitter, regretting, and painful at the end?
hiii! this is the first poem that i've posted here after weeks of hesistance and lack of confidence with my writing prompts. nevertheless, i am trying to cope them! i'm looking forward for more poems to read in this community, and also sharing more of mine! thank you so much <333
The particular accelerator
makes being particular
quicker,

yeah,
they make these things up
while sitting up in their
ivory towers
and we are the chess pieces.

What if,

closing our eyes with the darkness of our sunglasses,

we go to the river of our childhood,

drink some fresh water,

& feel that calmness which has already found its abode in the scent of our sweat of yesterdays?

It was the day the entire universe,

frightened by its virulent and fearless enemy,

went to sleep early,

unwillingly.

Two
it is a chaos
within the line
where the rain comes to vain
the sun still in hiding
and the moon on the high
lie in restlessness
the world in a curved of mourn
i am trying to back

I feel my heart spinning
in great delight
when you're winning
blurring my sight

but I see my youth pass by
the future is transparent
trying to fly
faith so apparent

I taste no freedom
out here alone
bring me to your kingdom
look how we've grown

hey listen to this
the sound promises make
it's pure bliss
it's not fake

you smell nice
all the time
I cuddled you twice
I guess forever is fine
