the pleasure of the wealthy
advance of poor forestalls

and the "good taste" of the jaded
is no taste at all.

My father has been placed in the hospital
He may not be coming home
It's a blow to us all that he may need
in-home care. But it may be for the best.
He's not in the best environment here,
as this house was built in 1907
and unadapted for power chairs.
He has crippling arthritis and needs such.
He's not going to be happy as he won't
have a garden to putter in anymore.

I love him and only want the best for him.
He taught me to be appreciative of true
beauty and nature.  I'll miss him lots!

I built a magic time machine
I tinkered through the night
I erected it with art and skill
I knew I had it right!

Off I went on this fun flight
In my bubble made of gloss
I saw the future and the past
Then found that I was lost!

I saw the moments where I'd failed
I'd hurt my loved ones dear!
I saw the future bleak and dark
And viewed it with great fear

I tried to change the things I'd done
And found that I could not!
I practiced on the future, too
Was frozen to the spot!

I found the present compromised
Came back to my square bed
The empty place between my ears
The space inside my head

I learned a precious lesson
All that I can say
Is once you're off in time machines

You're vacant from TODAY!

~~
She rolls down the western edge
The bucolic Spiral path
Coincides with the horizon
Gray foot print
Slowly mingles with dark
As the Bats of evening find back to home

Gentle Breeze to dangle
Purple haze of Four O'clock
The Crossroads, Wait behind
Where to start, or what end is!
Poetry continuing as the falls of pain

Afternoon's Lyrics said good bye
Today's bright Star does not rise
What they chase during the run out!
Why come back again
Along with the known way!

Moonlit falls on the ways of Standing hill
Beyond the horizon
Dark fading, while
Lost love fusions with her colors
Across the Monsoon, Autumn, Winter
Finally the Spring is on the way

I wish I could tell you how much I love you
I wish I could be with you forever
I wish I could dance the day away
I wish the dark would consume me
I wish I could stop the sharp kisses
I wish I didn't rely on something so painful
I wish I could take your pain
I wish I could heal you
I wish
I wish
I wish
Quick wishes along with swift kisses
I wish I could throw it away
I wish it never existed
But I did
So I wish
And wish
And wish
For bright days
And clear nights
I'm constantly wishing for something. It might be to see her again or for a new book to read. It depends on how happy I am
I will never be able to look at red paint the same way after that night
Okay story time. This may be triggering so don't say I didn't warn you. So one night after I threw away my blade I was falling and I wanted to cut. But as I didn't have a blade I couldn't so I grabbed a tube of red water color paint and I sorta faded out and when I came back I had red paint all over my arms and legs. With words painted on in black that read "if you knew how broken I was would you still love me?". So yeah that's my story.
You made me feel,
Better about myself,
Happy and safe,
That I was loved.

You made me see,
That my body is beautiful,
That the stars shine brighter if you are with someone,
Just how alive I really am.

You made me want,
To be with you all the time,
To climb the highest mountain just to see the sky,
To really live and not just survive.

You made me believe,
That everything will be okay,
That even tho the clouds will cover the sky sometimes the sun will always come back,
In myself,

You made me strong,
More than I could ever be without you,
So I can hold the fear and dark away,
By just being with me.

You have made me who I am now,
And for that I thank you,
My beautiful, love.
And I'm thinking of you -
while studying maths -
I wanna say hi,
but it will just make things harder to bear,
as I realise you've finally moved on...

And well,
*I haven't.
It's fine, it'll take time to erase her name from my heart - but I have to try, for I made the choice...And I have to deal with the consequences :3

-just being honest
I find it so difficult
to ignore
my pestering emotions.
I wish I didn't have to feel these things - or anything :(
