Eevee

When you wish upon a Star,
Your dreams come true,
The light in the dark.

The one with a frown on it's face,
In a crowd of happiness.
The Star is the
Light of my life
A friend.
When I wish upon a Star,
I always get my wish.

absent mind

trigger warning:

i'm a wanderer
though most of my travels
occur inside the confines
of my chaotic mind

i wouldn't recommend you follow
because i will leave you behind

     tell me
have you ever gotten lost
                                        in your own mind?
i cannot remember
                              what i was trying to find
perhaps
               i've lost it.

disclaimer: this "trigger warning" is misleading because there is nothing I am warning about specifically, I'm just lost & I liked the wording

Avoidance

Avoidance

Thoughts racing, heart chasing.
You're mad, I'm sad.
Can't stop shaking, there's no faking
When I see you in the halls,
I stall, hide behind a pillar, a friend, anything
Just to avoid the awkward eye contact.
I'm not good at confrontations, at the mere thought of it I flee..
You might think I'm crazy or immature,
But when you told me to stop talking to you my mind went a blur..
My friends say you're overreacting, over something so small.
I fear you'll dump me, leaving me lonely..
I'm so sorry.. Please forgive me?

Happy 18th Birthday, I love you S.L.

Maybe

Maybe

Maybe if I write I can escape this reality

Maybe if I sing I can drown out the comments

Maybe if I draw I won't want to cut

Maybe if I listen to music I can drown out my thoughts

Maybe if I make you mad at me I don't have to be mad at myself

Maybe if I read I can escape this world

Maybe if you touch me you can replace some bad memories

Maybe if you hug me I'll fall apart

Maybe if you love me I'll push you away

Maybe if you leave me I'll be right

Maybe if we fight I'll become silent

Maybe if I'm crowded I'll slowly shrink away

Maybe if I crawl into a small place he can't get me

Maybe if you kiss me I'll kiss you back

Maybe if you avoid me my love will finally go away

Maybe if you keep talking I don't have to listen to my thoughts

Maybe if its cold I can freeze my emotions

Maybe if it's cold my emotions will run free

Maybe in a year I'll have cried a thousand tears

Maybe one day my demons will let my soul rest

Maybe one day the world will stop giving me tests

Maybe one day I will smile again

Maybe one day my laugh will ring loudly

Maybe one day I'll sing a song about joy

Maybe one day my memories won't haunt me

Maybe one day I'll sing one last song

Maybe one day I'll say a final goodbye

Maybe one day I'll write my last words

Maybe one day my cries will be heard

Maybe one day I'll fade away

Your Smile

Your Smile

All my desires are hidden in your smile
Sweetie, in my hundreds of miseries
your magical smile is happiness to me!

I'm surprised when you smile.
Nothing is more important to me than your smile
I'm mad at you for your amazing smile!

Don't be shy, if I enjoy your smiley face
Darling, don't hide your eyes
Please try to understand my silence!

My dreams are playing in your happy smile
and your love touches my little heart
Let me see your beautiful smile!

To be a Woman

Rosa Lovetta

To be a Woman

Walls are meant to be broken,
truer words have never been spoken.
I stand and I stare,
and I want and I need,
my arms still stay at my side,
my eyes grow wet with plead.
A desire to be more than a word on a page,
even just a change in font would offstage.
My expression is always blank,
emotionless I comply with whatever you state.
Without motivation I' ll die where I stand,
for I am a woman, and you are a man.

Rain in All Forms

Rebel Heart

Rain in All Forms

We dance on the edges
Of our silhouetted frames
As if we were water
Dripping lightly
On empty window panes

But you were the dewdrops
Bringing life to the days
Drizzling slightly to bring
Rainbows diminishing the grays

And the first time
Your deep ocean eyes
Met with mine
I began to wonder
If you would've danced in the rain
Singing as I always did
Or if you would've hid under umbrellas,
Like the others, too afraid
Of the storm
I was born to be?

(I recently read this old poem and realized one of two things. One- this was one of the shorter poems of RH's I've read in a while and that Two- I remembered a couple years ago looking over RH's shoulder as she wrote the final draft to a novel she wrote with the title of the same name (which was no doubt inspired by this poem). I never found out if it were ever published but it was one of my favorite novels by her by far and do hope to read it again in the future. Thank you all for the support so far and Happy Writing! ~BM)

believing of love - I

We forget things
we forget the things what we are married of
the world then zooming out to the place where we stand tall
when we loosen the breath together we took in
then we are the people in love
it all then begins we finding each other
the invisible corners of ours by our lips and race of blood
together on the earth is where we stop
in the life of new born love
