You were a dark splash of rain
Looking for laughter to brighten cloudy skies
I was an innocent ray of sunshine
You dimmed my light with your haunting eyes
You have a way of doing that to everyone who gets too close to your storm.
Andy Lee May 2018
On a wave length understandable only by humans
The long haired, scrawny limbed musicians produced their peculiar vibration and the rain would never feel the same

The sky was bluer than could be possible in a town made of pollution and sadness
Maybe its because of decaying dreams
Maybe you've failed to feed your happiness anyways
Maybe you gave it up to the wind too soon

But the sky got bluer and the hair got longer and the sunglasses reflected the smile that i couldn't quite stifle

The bees found their hives
In a blinding sea of yellow and the liquid reflected the smile I couldn't quite stifle

I thought of people, faces, and nerve endings and I longed to gaze on the eyes that reflected the smile I couldn't quite stifle

I wanted to take a road into the sea and let all the weight of the world sink with me and feel free reflected in obituaries that could hardly stifle a smile

For the freedom was so enticing and I only find my voice in the end and I want to crack myself open so I have no shell in which to take shelter

Because I want to feel the unmitigated waves against my being, traveling from the source to me, uninterrupted

A stifled smile in a bluer sky and waves in longer hair
a strong
wind and
respire herd
whispers that
flout only
measures of
doom but
in those
entire days
still loom
with flatulence
in dire
skies loop
both highs
and lows
till pressure
rise strawberry
a dance in skies

Isn't it odd how even in the skies,
you occupy my mind?
Wrote this after flying a plane,
I was distracted by him.

She was like the sky,
A scheduled light with the blessed glow from the sun
A huge change, one that showed me darkness can come from light
Like how day can become night

She was like the sky,
A clear blue of sadness and sorrow
They focused on the flaws that clouded her beauty,
But I noticed the millions of stars that shone within her

She was like the sky,
Everyone wants to be the master of the heavens
But she was heaven herself
She was a sky full of so much hope

She was like the sky,
They hated seeing her constantly shine,
Constantly reflect her happy light,
They loved it when she shed,
They took her tears for fulfilling rain,
They prayed for her to cry, to stop all the shine
In order to supply for their desires and pride

She was like the sky,
And now she's more like an endless stream.
A poem about woman in general, specifically about my little sister. This speaks about how people are getting happier because of others sorrows and tears.

everyone always compares eyes
to the rolling ocean tides
eyes that wash over you
eyes that are a deep blue

the ocean seems peaceful
often described as wistful
the tides appear to be magic
depicted as utterly romantic

they’ve forgotten that the seas
can be dangerous beasts
plagued with enormous forces
almost always remorseless

those eyes might be chaotic
perhaps even hypnotic
so be on your guard
you could end up marred

you told me of stars shooting across the skies in bright burst

but you never told me about the kind of stars that plummet into the earths atmosphere

you never described the gravitational pull towards something that goes beyond description

maybe it isn't that simple maybe a catastrophe is meant to happen in order for something beautiful to exist

but ******* you're a ******* asteroid in my sky of shooting stars

you lit up this colorful earth with technicolors of your own making

I always knew coloring in the lines wasn't for you

maybe this is a poem about how you snuck your way into my body or better yet drilled a hole into my heart where you plummeted into at full speed and force

maybe it isn't a poem about love
maybe its a poem about how much I hate the person in my skin

and I never told you out of place I felt in my own skin and the words you say make me wanna tear myself out of mine and into yours

and you make me wanna commit sins and write them across the hell written skies

you make me wanna forget my name and only scream yours into the night

you're an astroid that got pulled into my sirens call of angst and desperation

you answered my call and idk what to do when I'm done with you

but **** if it doesn't hurt not talking to you
it doesn't hurt like a ***** knowing that I see the best of you and still take it for granted
it doesn't **** me inside and twist everything in horrifying ways knowing I want more from you
I want to lie you the **** down
I want to kiss you and never come up for air
I want to make sure you never forget my mark stained indigo and red on your neck
I want to scratch my name into your back with passion in the lines of every letter

*I want you

and that's the difference between us babe
I don't need you to breathe
to feel
I only want you
but ****
**** if this is more than I aimed for
**** if breaking your heart doesn't tear mine out with yours

I need you too.

Blue flowers
blossom freely
bouncing silently
Between fresh blades

Bees fly busily
sensing
Feet
spring forward
beneath
blue skies

Soles
sink firmly
Feeling Blessed
by simple
Flowing breezes
