William A Poppen May 2019
With emotions
Protruding like spikes
On the ball of a flail

Her presence
Consumes the room

Even her voice sounds
Rough, pitted by
Adrenaline surging
Through her veins

Her mood
Is more than stern
As if bitterness
Rests around
Her heart
And all calm
Is hidden somewhere
Within her shadow
* Merriam-Webster word for the day, May 28, 2019
How to forget someone
whose eyes met
for a concise moment
with so much emotion

How to forget someone
with the hand that recognise
the tactility made a moment
of owning each other

How to forget someone
who ensnared my soul
with a succinct kiss
making a forever

How to forget someone,
someone with so many remembrances
though it befell in a jiff.

Who killed Hate?

She has been with me all my life, but now I cannot find her.
She dwells in my heart, but now she is gone.
She helps me with my actions, but now I work alone.

Hate has never left me before.
Hate has always been there my whole life.
Hate is a part of who I am.

I see Hate in my conversations.
I see Hate in my actions.
I see Hate in my mirror.

She likes to tell me that I should not talk to someone.
She likes to tell me that I will fail at what I am about to try.
She likes to tell me that I will never meet certain expectations.

Where are you Hate?

Have I left you?

I think she is still there,
but I have found such love in him
that I have forgotten what
Hating myself feels like.

Hate, I have moved on.
I have found the key to the ******* you have kept me in.

B.K.

I am searching for a love I yet to receive.
I am looking for someone to care about me.
I am searching for someone who loves me as me.
I am looking for my better half.

-hard feelings-
thunderous crash
of the rainstorm,
the cold floor
i land on
the way down,
scorch marks
from holding
your heart,
and then
(~whoosh~)
tranquility
washes over
like streams
over rocks,
a tulip
slowly unfurling,
steam rising out of
hot coffee
and suddenly,
all the feelings
are soft.
hi i'm back and sad so this poem is here. this is not really a love poem, it's actually about getting over something that's why it's "no hard feelings" because when things break up or ended badly you have all these harsh emotions of hurt, pain and regret but now there's just sort of a...softness with it. time heals everything.

you were the first one to look at me
as if i really was someone
worth looking at

I realize I'm not something to everyone but it hurts not to be everything to someone.

Death is a hard subject to talk about
It can be a wonderful thing or a terrible thing
But there is no reason to pout
Life can used up like string

I had lost my Great-great granddad awhile back
It took me a long time to get over it
I can’t remember if I dressed in black
I did throw quite the fit

We all have the one person we are close to
It would **** you if they died
You could commemorate them by getting a tattoo
All of us have cried

The subject of death is hard
Some joke about
People can get scarred
We just try to stay in doubt
