Flashy lights, fancy clothing
Tightly hiding our insecurities
Ah, Yes, in this darkness we are safe
A perfect night filled with impurities
The friendly space between us closing

We lost control but didn't chafe
Some call it living others infidelity
But neither had a title
In the music, we found our melody
all while our heart strings interlaced

Our thoughts went spiral
Losing control
Both belonging to another
I'd rather be in your hold
And the slowing moments were vital

How could we make such a blunder
We must've forgotten our places
How could we slip
Seeing their heartbroken faces
We ruined our potential lovers

Well, aren't you an unlikely pip?
So many things that were untold
Everything was so bold
Our emotions unrolled
And we carelessly locked lips
Maybe we were meant to be something more?
When you look at yourself in the mirror and you notice something.
Your not the same person how you used to be.
Yeah you look more mature but your smile don't show.
Your eyes don't shine as your mom says.
You don't laugh like you used to.
You think your loved ones are crazy but one day it hits you.
Your not the same.
You don't smile the same.
Your eyes don't shine like they used to be.
Maybe this is growing up?
Or maybe your just walking through the rough path to lead to the next open door.
This world has a lot of twist and turns to meeting people and burning bridges.
From finding yourself to finding what your worth. It's an endless battle with yourself your mind or anxiety and your worst fears coming alive.
Maybe it's all a test.
A lesson by the sky above.
As I clean my face off from the drool from last night.
I notice myself.
And notice how much I've changed.
Maybe it's time to grow up and swallow that dreadful pill.
Dreams come true.
But effort motivates.
And passion makes the heart worth beating.
And the eyes the clear hazel eyes will finally one day shine again.
Till then.
Let's the rain come down and let the piano Play.

learned to swim in an ocean filled with
jellyfish that didn’t sting,
seashells,
and more hands than i needed to hold
in a party that of more than four,
our brand new family strung together with salt water.
this time, everything is for the last time.

2011
this
is the
first ever time
my decisions are the
children of orphaned thoughts.
they swing across canyons of hope
attached to no rope.
reality is a maze with no roadmap.

2012
there is so much lesser now, than there used to be,
there is also so much more now, than there used to be.
somewhere nestled inbetween is satisfaction.

2013
today, my heart joined the gym.
the mission? twenty seconds of bravery.

2014
mission accomplished.
twenty minutes of bravery,
here i come.

2015
there was a time before.
there will be a time after.
from today, there is no going back.

2016
the trek has led to
an obstacle course.
let the games begin.
part of NaPoWriMo 2016, and TheDirtyThirty.

LOVE

I want to love
With abandon
Unafraid of the pain of rejection
With a childish hope
I want to stretch out my arms
And not fear the darkness
Into which I reach

I want to love
Like my mother
Who's furrowed brow and greying hair
Are evidences of her affections
And cares for the ones
She released upon the world

With a fierceness
And a fire
Burning and passionate
And uncontrolled
Which hurts just as often as it heals

I want to love
As many people as possible
And all at once
I want to hold them all
In an embrace that expresses
The unspoken sorries I have

And care
Too much
For far too many
Even as the care like a tidal wave
Floods my wild heart
And lungs
With worry
I want to love

Unbidden
Without restraint
With open palms
that are sweaty and shaking
But willing
To connect and collide
So that my fingers are so intertwined
With others that I cannot see where
I begin
And then I'll know
That I have loved
Toby Francis Sep 2015
Take it
All of it
Like dogs to a bone
Tear me to pieces
Leave nothing behind
Keep it all to yourself
And fight for the scraps
Of what's left of me

Cut deep
Slice me open
Drain out life
From my open wounds
Try and capture it
Bottled fragments of my being
Ignore the screaming
I'll be silent soon enough

Severe me
From mine
Till every limb's detached
And you can have one each
And maybe then be satisfied
Having finally destroyed
My form for your own pleasure

Not enough
You will find
The taste of me will linger
But what you have wont last
Long enough to sustain the hunger
You'll need more
Soon enough

So leave behind my bones
And take to the skies
In search of another weary soul
Circle wide and be patient
As their knees give in you will witness
Their spirit escape them too
sage short Jun 2015
I observe her while she dances in the kitchen, wearing nothing but a graphic tee and her pink lace underwear. Her hair is flowing, and it's brown, and it's beautiful. She has big blue eyes that soar for greater knowingness, and freckles that have been created from past summer days that I never spent with her. Her smile is growing, and her one crooked tooth is her biggest perfect imperfection, and she hates it, but I love. We put vinyls in the record player, letting them spin like the love in our minds. I grab her hand, and the grins grow wider as we dance amongst our tiny apartment, and it's enough. It's home... No, not our apartment, but her. She is home. She is the planted garden in my mind and the beating of my heart. And without her, there is no smiling, there is no joy, there is no heartbeat, there is no living. I hope she stays, oh God I hope she stays, simply because a world without my beauty, isn't beautiful at all. With her gone, the streets looks poorer, the sky looks duller, and life looks worthless. But with her here, the sun is smiling, the moon is dancing, the people are happy, and the universe is whole. The only thing that can seperate us now is death, but even then, I know somehow we'll find a way, because she is the light, and I am the dark that is following her for the greater good, and I love her for this. I love her for her laughter, and her sadness, because her emotions are strong enough to cause a war in mind, but then when it heals, everything is good again; only she can do this to me. Her happiness is mine and we are together, til death do us part, and beyond. When the graves have been dug, and the grass has grown over, just believe that our skeletons are smiling, holding hands, and our souls are dancing without a care somewhere in a distant place for the two of us, forever. Endless compassion for her, I hold, and with that I will wish the same for you. For you to find someone who will hold you while you're at your breaking point. For someone to love you even when you don't love yourself. Because all we really need is that, and when the only thing we can't stop from happening, finally approaches, just hope for the love to grow into the roots of this Earth, and to spread throughout. My world is full of infinite beauty, thanks to the first thing that really opened my eyes; her.
The first free verse poem I've wrote on here. It's sloppy, but I like it. Let me know what you think! X Sage

Growing up is tough, you see
Making choices
Weighing possibilities
Not even 20 in
Planning the next 50
Maybe 60
Maybe more

Staring at each open door
Choosing which to shut,
Which to explore
Remembering my childhood
Wanting 1 last year
Maybe 2
Maybe more

I can't go back, I know
Only forward
Ever onward
Into my future I go

Am I brave enough to tell you?
to tell you that I like the way you smile
to tell you that I miss the way you laugh
to tell you that I love the way you say my name

Am I brave enough to tell you?
to tell you that I like your hair down your shoulders
to tell you that I miss the way you curse over stuffs
to tell you that I love the way you roll my chair back to you

Am I brave enough to tell you?
to tell you how I like the heart-shaped crumble of papers you gave to me
to tell you how I miss the way we took pictures of us together
to tell you how I love the way you say few words from your mouth

Am I brave enough to tell you?
to tell you what's been happening in my world
to tell you what am I up to
to tell you what's inside my head even when you're not around

Am I brave enough to tell you?
to tell you how I love the way you smell in your green BVLGARI perfume
to tell you how I love the way your Levi's jacket fits my body
to tell you how I love the way you look in your dark grey Nike glasses

Am I brave enough to tell you?
to tell you that the door of my heart is open
to tell you that I am right here,waiting for the day for you to come
and lock it up so everybody else will get locked out

Am I brave enough to tell you that I love you?

*Darling, tell me if I brave enough to tell you that I love you.

"Hi,
A week has gone and I miss you."

What?
"I miss you, yes I do."

Who?
"It's you. You've heard me."

How?
"Think I miss the warmth of your presence, yes I do."

Why?
"Can't seem to let a day pass without talking to you.
I love the way you do.
I love you."

When?
"Yesterday. Now. Tomorrow."

Where?
"Anywhere. I'll still be loving you."

"Think I know I do.
Think I know you don't."

"Think I know I love you.
Think I know you love me not."

Yet.
H.
