#lasts
We know the Script backwards Plastic words Are painted in gold And nostalgia kicks in As we fall for a myriad Of 'what ifs' Too bad it never lasts

(the drug cos. have invented this, tablet, capsule, even injectable; but the pharma cabal says no to all, who know & ask for a public release) |~| For A Kiss That Lasts All Week it will cure most illnesses, and what’s the point in that? you will just have to learn it with practice, practice & tactics no need to hurry, play with the concept, roll it over the tongue, ready for overseas deployment said tongue, the tongue now the advance force close your eyes focus on the overwhelming (says the now all powerful Wizard of Lips) those underestimated sensors of the lips, too oft disdained in a overhurrief hurricane rush to the “big n’ better “ orifices, and the slow luxury of the tingly uttering of WOW~ shooting through you to the parts of you suddenly rewoked & now revoked from the quietude of functional boredom and think but do not speak *** *** o m g, this is the fountain of youth, the revitalized cellular generation, the speeding up of the flow of blood to places long forgot, allowing the heart to pump its gifts to the deadened spots, reawakening the invisible soul that we all have in common so: get to “work”

A Kiss That Lasts All Week
A promise , One that shattered my trust. A promise, That surely won't last. A promise, one, at last For I'm sorry I keep living in the past, But I saw a light, far far away Now I hope it's worth the wait, Until I dig myself from the grave, I fell into, drowned in pain. I broke my trust, I knew for sure. Thought I tried to give my best, My life was only headed west. It won't last, I'll never reach the end. For the treasure is nowhere I can see, I'll give away my life for free. It won't last, A promise. It shattered my trust, A promise.

A promise
An Autumn moon glowing in a purple sky along with lesser lights watching as I lost my mind.. Stars gathered in her tired eyes.. Every cosmic cluster Glimmering, dimming then falling into the night.. Constellations poured across her pretty face Recklessly they'd c r a s h s    l    s    i    g      p   a   h   n     on the ground then were gone without a trace.. Her tender hand consoled the pieces left of me And I just knew those falling stars would be the death of me

Falling Stars
DEAR PENPAL PEOPLE, I'm well aware that nothing makes sense, including this poem :> content is not something we give consent you hold your pen yet the ink spills as it pleads you are a walker of blood yet it sheds out when cut & bent you have a brain yet the tongue blurts out the feels content is not something we color just an acceptance of the past just a canvas you get to paint with limit bother good for a day then a memory till it lasts the kiss of a palm forehead & cheek drafts in my head just to render a sleep some greed never fed or a satisfaction to meet yellow till it goes mustard & a shade deep the saving of a night that would save the day it's like it's gold but you're swallowing the sand? the desperation for a treasure at some bay how would I even find content when out of the hand?                                                                                   --------ravenfeeels

Yearning For A Yarn
I was just a child, with dreams far from reality Who believed in true love, in love as in old movie scenes Love that lasted as long as the most dusty pieces in older museums. Believed that life was like strawberries, fresh and freshly picked from an appetizing vegetable garden. But life is not a strawberry, and love does not last as long. And, perhaps, dreams are just the inverted reality.

Not quite what it seems
How could you pick me up And put me together Using your own hands Without a single doubt Only to push me back down And break me apart Using your own feet Without a second glance I shouldve known After all, Nothing good lasts forever

How Could You
Oh dear heart, Tell me why do you get excited, When nothing lasts, Why do u want me to let anything in, If it´ll only cause me hurt, Why do you cheer for someone, If you know there´ll be an end It´s lovely when the heart craves something, But terrible when that doesn´t last

Be my last
She is the best thing My mind can see Long amethyst waves An unscarred wrist Talking sometimes I can hear her voice In silent letters Through the phone And now what she is Is a beautiful presence A lovely evanescence That sleeps with me And guides my dreams From miles away With her blender fish tank Someday I fear All that she will be Is a ghost of a dream Forever lost to me

And she is spiraling faster and faster and the longer it lasts the more she knows she’s falling down and the less she can do to stop it- -the less I can do to stop it.

She is Spiraling
*Nothing ever lasts forever the new height, the length greater the chances all the slimmer Winning is worse than ever The very pressure all time higher it is easier to fall over but to forget and do what to be done and fall down now than later seems better.*

pressure
Our connection was intense Our kiss was toxic but sweet The colour of your eyes was like autumn I was so keen I was all in Our bond was strong Filled with pure alcohol And when I got sober I saw clearly the end You pointed it out for me I followed your arrow I followed your footsteps And you led me to the exit Now I need a compass To get the hell out of your soul Nothing lasts forever, doesn't?

Nothing Lasts
She's trouble so they say She'll slay your heart Tear it apart Never mind her history She's a mystery Neglected as a child Emotional abuse she hates men Does she have a reason? behind her eyes lesions and cuts to her soul Though they call her **** and say she's out of control She yearns and burns for a man who will calm her inner being See the hurting girl inside who's trapped in her own head Instead of taking her to bed for a one night stand A love that hold her through the lonely hours A love that will never sour Or grow cold Or scold her for being her A love that inspires fire That comforts her and talks her through agonising visions of the past A love that lasts.

She's trouble so they say
I'm only 18 so call this meaningless I'll tell you I've been in love on at least four separate occasions with at least four separate girls. Say that it wasn't really love then that I was too young and naive to know what love truly is. You have every right to believe that if you want. But to me, each and every one of those times It truly was love and honestly still is. I guess it's that they just don't feel it anymore. I'll doubtlessly fall in love so many more times over and cry on so many friends shoulders over having my heart broken but if this is the path I must take to find a truer love than I have ever experienced before than so be it. I want a love that burns with a passion and intensity so bright that most others would be burnt up in its light.... Is this too much to ask?...

two thirty a.m. // "nothing lasts forever"
Cheese, say it and be happy Mourn, do it and be sad Play, until you die Treachery, until you lie Slay, the eternal demon Hail, to fire May, you knew the truth Bitten, by fate's tooth Hey, yell with all Energy, until you fall Live, to die soon Death, with a deafening boom |AB|

They were right when they said that nothing lasts forever. But I thought forever would last longer than it did.

Forever
Beautiful It's what everyone longs to be, But how come it seems that no one can see That outter is cool, But nothing can compare to what's inside of you. No one can compare Nor describe Repair, Or deny That of the beauty inside. Yet, we fake and we lie. So stuck on building our pride We forget how we look on the inside Well, let me remind you Beautiful Stop worrying so much about what clothes you look **** Fat Skinny And Skimpy in When you could naturally feel the same just being in you own skin

Beautiful
the firsts become lasts and the lasts become firsts all good things come to an end every relationship can live or burn people come and people go taking up on the current of life you try and cling to their remains and you deafen yourself with your cries it's hard to even think that in a year, everything will have changed don't let go and don't forget but don't let things be forced or feigned so much to wonder too much to breathe i still wonder where we will stand when you leave
