#stare
Some people stare,
Others might glare.
Animosity or pity,
I don't want to get into the nitty gritty.
Take shots in the dark,
Guess how I got these marks
They stripe my arms and calves,
I'd rather cut my heart in halves.
The cat got you good,
I suppose. Maybe I should...
I say I'm clean, and that's a lie,
But would you rather see me die?
Unhealthy coping skills are my first resort,
I know you saw, please don't report.
You tell my teacher,
Who tells my mom, who tells the preacher,
Can you pray the urges away,
You know I can't stay.

no, instantly NOT, where your brain has gone,
call me back, this poem has none of that
but slow and swell to speak to my body,
indeed, in deed, with a pretty one, please,
two organs directly connected, brain to heart,
heart to brain
the triggering can be anything,
breeze upon her face, no,
But the word she silent spake,
when she gave me the
Argentine tango stare reverberate
beautiful woman, dancing tango
in every space that a sightline provides,
first invader, then an occupier, lastly
a poem that refuses to be erased
the stare, it is an invitation, to the
limitations of the first instantaneous,
What will come after will be displayed.
Am I charming, witty, amusing,
but most
of all,
how well do I dance the tango
How well do my fingers on her back,
five finger telegraph telling her
be ready for what
comes next!
our swell with constant messaging,
Our fingertips
speak dance, acknowledge tension,
the next move, sincopated,
Before even completing the last…
With respect to the unwritten tango laws,
I wait till the dance is over,
And ask her,
plead/command/desire
the next one too two,
alas, a lass, her stare
already
has tangoed elsewhere…

Slowly creeping towards you
Resembling the light bearers aesthetic
I love that you wear glasses
Eyes so beautiful
Even God had to frame them
As our eyes meet in awkward silence
All I see
Is the moonlight shining through the night
But it's just your deep beautiful eyes.
A conversation that words couldn't describe
Was held by eyes one could prescribe
Yes
she's beautiful
Don't you think ?

The mercurial moon,
so distant, so desired;
She stand still, shivering
at its slightest stare.”

Where is my voice?
Why am I anxious?
The people they stare
Why can’t I speak?
I’m right here,
I’m human
Why do you stare?
When I freeze
When I shake with tears,
When I go invisible
Why are you always there?
Just…watching
Always there, in mind,
In presence, that voice I hear,
I get anxious, nervous,
A shaky mess of limbs and hair
Accompanied by those tears.

He never knew the storms he calmed,
With just a glance, a laugh, a smile.
He never knew how deep I sank,
Until his light reached me, quiet, and kind.
Last night, sleep refused to come —
I waited, stared, held back a sigh.
Just hoping he might say a word,
Or send a sign, a soft reply.
But morning came with empty air,
He didn’t show — and I just stared.
At benches, books, the teacher’s voice,
While colours drained from everywhere.
He never knew how much it hurt,
To sit and smile, pretend, obey —
When all I wished was just to see
His silly grin light up the day.
He never knew, and maybe won’t,
How much he helped me breathe again.
Unbelievable! Someone whome I've never talked to-
Still in his silence,I found my strength.
You never knew you're the only star
My sky still chases every night —
Because no other light has ever
Matched the warmth you gave so right.
You never knew, you still don’t see —
You’re a soul I can’t replace.
Not because I need your love...
But because you gave me grace.

i wish to see my soul.
i want to see if it's
bright
and full of colour
or dark
and miserable.
i want to stare into my soul --
just to see what's in the inside.
i wish to see my soul

Why, Oh Little Ones, do you stop and stare
What you are seeking is no longer there
You walked beside him for three years
The very Word of Life was in your ears
He died and rose and appeared once more
To prepare you for what is yet in store
He laid His holy hands upon you
To confer a spirit of authority and truth
With his power you have been sent out
Trust in His plan and do not be in doubt
Do not stand there frozen and dumb
Time is short and there is much work to be done
Go you now out into the mission field
And gather for the master a bountiful yield

Do as he does, stare
at him, scan his body, and --
see his discomfort.

Maybe I’ve been staring at my wounds
For far too long now
And though they are now solely scars
I cannot sit here forever.

The love
you've kept so long
in the wait
for someone unknown,
Does it still
keep burning
every night
When you leave
the bed awhile &
stare at
the lone vacant sky?

I've had you on a pedestal,
I've had you look at me so tall;
Must've been so brutal,
When you felt the fall.
Was it unfair?
Or did I misinterpret your glare?
My apologies for the stare;
Must've been a justice flare.

The darkness holds desires
Through life is always there
Presence that never expires
Can always feel his stare
Waiting to take happiness
Step off a ledge to get away
That only brings me more stress
I struggle every day

Deep within her stare value-laden eyes bare
Thou liketh compete with disciplined man
Prim proper equanimity assembled as plan
Serve glory to God; begone any despair
Grasping thy reality of excellence profound
Access vast depth of emotion- drowned
Dangling medals reaching out to touch
Through tranquility, stand by your ground
He pushed me open like a book untold
Words of the gospel used by mean
Daring as His veracity He loved me as bold
By sworn duty, I shall perpetually convene

The moon was brilliant
Last night
And yet...
I caught you
Staring
At me

It's terrible
No words said
Yet your eyes yell
Pinching aroma embed
Oh, well
I wanna be more innocent
To make your heart discontent

I am forged in a ceramic kiln,
and the sweltering heat embrittles me.
their withering stares set the kiln ablaze,
expecting me to stay rigid and brittle.
I attempted to constrict and be good,
but the fire slowly cracked me.
the heat still scorches my pieces,
but each piece inches closer
to the outskirts of the kiln
so I can find the sticky glue
and put myself back together.

DEAR PENPAL PEOPLE, just an old a family memory on a dinner table--sorry no rhymes :>
to the no one who is not recognizing......
when I stopped for a long stare for me
I stopped and looked around me searching for something that
I don't know stashed deep into the picture I view
I smiled for the happiness that invades those hearts
for the gratitude that my soul is permeated
I crowned the thrones of blood in pure joy
I stole the sounds of laughter
I screened that shot that is bottled into the core of my memories that shot the reason I am on ground in this life
the reason that I believe in the reason that I hang on to the reason
that I long on my stormy nights and deprived alones
I locked them on that table of love and warm clouds attached
when I stopped for a long stare for me

DEAR PENPAL PEOPLE, no white the rest just black:\
reason to a reason faith held one capture
applauded reaches to fallen devils may fracture
prisoners of grace in ten hells same
on cedars that know no angel to not shame
one beat on the downtown line
once in twenty life times
stars align hailing pain
scars betrayed the blood of a shed stain
haunt a child of a pure soul no more
shadows chased for a find of bullet core
if money were on trees
then lands are leaf free
look the eye no lie
to a scratched unhidden cry
poison spreads a four feet stare
is it even of those a matter of fair
royal flushed they think a game under the rugs shipped
rushed hearts a lifeless drink on mindless sipped
ashes called out happy hour not shredded unlit
double vision as grown as useless as toxic as it
dropped corpses the live left to ache
hurt silenced been forever drowned on stake
worst of a future misery
crusted crumble like nothingness a cemetery
thunder smells
plaster lacked on dwells
I may not blurt wounds
because these things are
not nursed doomed
I know the knuckles of the cursor when I see
an everlasting torture painting smudges dancing in same place selfishly

DEAR PENPAL PEOPLE, I don't know what that is?!-but yeah;]
believe me I don't know who 'you' is anymore to say
but you- never knew a label to you even before this May
okay the blue runs through the heart
but the adore you in the eyes once and for now been from the start
the golden table churned and dined
a whole new zoo other than butterflies you signed
remedy to the lost I fear this week six buried feet under
don't mind me in a stare just a wonder

Long distance gazing
exercises the imagination
filling the mind with out-of-reach thoughts
and within-our-grasp possibilities.
You need to pace yourself however.
Over-stretching can cause you to topple
into sorrow.
Short distance grinning
close up gawping
is bred from appreciation
for the unexpected
and creates opportunity
for shared mirth
and reflected smiles.
Over-stretching causes face ache
and further laughter.

let's play a game
you and i
stare in silence
while locking eyes
nervous and quite shy
turned into big smiles
then quiet laughter
still looking intently all the while
every second passing
and strings started to exist
attaching and latching
knots tying in twists
electricity started flowing
unseen but a rushing feel
back and forth
a connection -- is this becoming real?
in that short time
i started to imagine
me leaning in to kiss you
and I almost let it happen
three hundred seconds is up
and i tried to explain
but i couldn't tell you everything
that was going on in my brain
so i told you i feel closer to you
without saying anything more
didn't want you to know
it was you i was longing for.
