#kept
treasured trash
stuffed inside hardly ever opened drawers
and more....

roaring with the wind
counting all of the clouds
still left laying out a limb
serving up to some bloodhounds
turbulent troubles
the sun sets on us
forever indebted
pretend it wasn’t what it was
imperfect but we still tried
imperfect because i lied
imperfect because you could find
peace in between my breaths
appreciate the kisses stemming from your neck
protect and commend
attract a different end
circumstances keep us wrapped in
haunted houses, we are trapped in

Don’t worry, I turned off my heart.
I disconnected its valves and
tapped my foot to its last beat.
I repainted the walls of its chambers
a nice neutral color that would
really brighten up the space.
No trace of love.
No trail of grief.
You wouldn’t even be able to tell
that it belonged to someone else.
I spackled the holes left behind,
plastered its cracks, sanded its nicks.
Refinished the worn floors where
too many games have been played.
With any luck, interested buyers
won’t look too closely.
“This one’s got some good bones,”
they’ll say, and marvel at its potential.
I marvel at its potential.
For now though, I’ll turn it off.
I’ll turn it off, if only for me.

In lovely solemn
Bird cage, song birds brightly plumed:
Gems on ring fingers.

I wrote a poem into the wind
Improvisational melody
And promptly forgot it
I think the wind kept it

"promises are meant to be broken"
it is not meant to be broken
it has BEEN broken
it has been broken because you weren't honest
it has been broken, because you didn't cared
didn't care enough to fulfill it
don't you know how that's really unfair?
People make excuses for the promises they cant keep
so they decided to blame it on fate
when really, they're the ones who we have to hate
promises aren't meant to be broken
we aren't suppose to forget
because someone out there is waiting...is hoping for it...
so....
promises are meant to be kept...

Our days roll away like dropped coins.
Individual moments are continually lost,
Often never to be reflected upon again.
But the epochs of a full life remain,
Safeguarded by the cushions of our couch,
Waiting for when we are in need of a treat.

I talk to myself
So I can think to myself,
And so I think to myself,
What a horrible world.
'But why does it seem so pretty?'
Because beauty is the best disguise
For something so ugly inside.
The horrors of this world are a well-kept secret.

where should I hide
my love.
while I'm dying for
you to notice me,
you said that it
better to be kept
inside
rather ruin the beauty
of what it is now.

Tank of green
Liquid steam
Bubbles rise
Growing wise.
All this pain
That I feel
There's no gain
From this deal.
Wired tubes
Sticking out
Glowing cubes
Left no doubt.

As my heart kept losing over my brain,
I am rather more tempted to feign.
To act as if i do not feel much,
Though sometimes i long for your touch.
But be still, my dear.
Through time you'll finally hear.
For these words to which my lips are sealed,
Are feelings need not stay forever concealed.

the version
of you
that's
only
friends
with the
moon & the stars

Dedication , strength , and perseverance is what we were told
"To help create productive members of society through the youth we will mold"
They would P.T us and "smoke us" and then after that during the winter they would ask , "Are you still cold?"
I trained and kept quite most of the time
The academy help set for me a paradigm
The seconds felt like days the days then turned to months and by then it was gone
I miss the days from talking to the others or to listening to "outside music" like "Hit the Quan"
The main factor that drove me to the highest rank was proving everyone wrong
It made me ready for the uncertainty and strong
I knew I could do it and I still can I knew this all along

Irreversible impulse
You are sealed in amber
Embedded in my chest
As a jewel
With momentum surging in your eyes
Bringing back the sparks
To the fireplace
Where shadows dance with flames
Vividly reliving the experience
Lighting up the forge of the wordsmith
Awakening within me
Feeding air to the embers

Though I know I shouldn't,
it's as if I'm floating in brine.
You know I'm feeling something,
when I come here and think up rhymes
just to try and express what's usually
kept bottled up inside.
Right now, I just want to hide.

Move. Shift. Effortless.
Leave. Return. Don't.
Return.
Hollow.
Where the love was grown.
Dejected earth.
Cry. Wallow. Fatigued.
Return or Don't.
Return.
The flora found the trashcan.
Have your empty earth.

Everyone has a sad story some would be told and some will just be kept in silent , some will blaze some will drink their pain away ....

Sometimes to keep it
myself is the best to do
so you won't get hurt....

Our bracelets don't match
Made by different friends and me
Thanks for accepting.

when my hair gets windswept
and the sky is blue
and the secrets are still kept
i will remember you
when all i have left of you
are these polaroid pictures
i won't feel so gloom
and i'll continue to capture
moments that only we share
to keep me from my despair
to keep me from forgetting you

You kept me awake all by myself but you occupied my mind.
