May Showers
nicetomeetyou Apr 2021
Last night the cloud wept the skies
All painted to dark gray;
And the tears came flowing down to earth
In the break of May.

And that is why the April showers
Continued through the next month,
When we had expected sunny skies,
The sky brought no warmth -

So I sat at the windowsill
With my notebook and pen
The day was May sixth, or
Maybe May seventh

And when the raindrops flowed down again
I tried to trace a melody,
Drip, drop, drippity drop;
And soon I saw, and you will see:
The raindrops gave me a song.

So all through May I learned the song
And sang it loud and clear
Until the rain came to a halt
And clouds’ very last tear

Which is why I’m excited for next year
When May showers come
So I can learn another song
To sing or screech or hum
Aha I came up with this as I went in 7 minutes, and sang it to a beat

Sleepy
nicetomeetyou Feb 2021
I'm quite exhausted -
Do you mind if I lay down?
Just for a moment - (zzz)

Laughing
nicetomeetyou Feb 2021
They think they're laughing at me
Or they're laughing with me
Or I'm laughing at them
Or I'm laughing with them.

Actually
I'm not laughing.

Heartbreak
nicetomeetyou Feb 2021
It's not about whether
You'll try to fix it or not.
Because as long as something
Comes out,
A heartbreak could happen.

I've Been Waiting
nicetomeetyou Feb 2021
I sit there
Longing for company
I sit here
Waiting for you

Felt like three years
Possibly only three minutes
But now I fear
You forgot

...

More waiting.
Finally, out of the clearing
A figure pulling my heartstrings
You.

I've been Waiting.

That Sweet Melody
nicetomeetyou Feb 2021
Gibberish
But they sound
Like song to me
Sing it loud
sing it s o f t

I want to hear
Don't stop now.
A wind of notes
A fuzzy cloud

That Sweet Melody

you sang.

She Wrote
nicetomeetyou Feb 2021
She wrote;
Past the lake
And past the trees
Through the haze
One stands tall
The others may fall
Clouds atop
This waterfall

I stand still
I listen
I feel the chill
I listen and wait

Long silence
An eerie presence

You have arrived

love letters are hard
nicetomeetyou May 2021
π—œ'π˜ƒπ—² always had this strawberry-scented paper,
I've 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 saving up for a special letter. And now, it's
time for π˜„π—Ώπ—Άπ˜π—Άπ—»π—΄. I pick up my favorite pen, cause this's
for you and only π˜†π—Όπ˜‚. I'll start with a π˜‹π˜¦π˜’π˜³ 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦, and
seal it with a kiss. 𝗔 hopeful smile and an timid
skip, I'll hand you my π—Ήπ—²π˜π˜π—²π—Ώ. Now, tis' is the only
step left: to start writing my love letter, for you.
Open it up and read it. I spent hours on it. They're hard to write...

the start of heartbreak
nicetomeetyou Mar 2021
when one does not feel the same way
they did before !
nicetomeetyou Mar 2021
he and she and all people
they needed to find a place
quiet and seldom spoken
or maybe a loud, competitive race

and if none fit their standards

they would start a new place

When You Actually See It
nicetomeetyou Feb 2021
Sometimes we just look
In one view, but forget to
Look at the other

Later
nicetomeetyou Feb 2021
You may be laughing now
You may be the bigger one now
You may be invincible -
Or so it seems -
You may be the stronger,
The meaner
But.

Karma chases you
Like wind on a leaf.

Crying
nicetomeetyou Feb 2021
Yes.
We cry over small things...
Whether it's if someone said something...
Did something...
Made something happen...
It affects us.
We linger in that feeling by
Crying.

love equally
nicetomeetyou Mar 2021
you can't always have
half a heart;
some have loved more
just from the start

It was tender and lovely
This time it is
Sad and lonely

life thought #5
nicetomeetyou Mar 2021
"Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space, maybe we should trust that even if we can't understand it yet.”
Dr. Mann, Interstellar
nicetomeetyou Mar 2021
did I ever settle into your mind
of a girl who smiles
of a girl who dresses cutely
of a girl who is kind
a girl who is blindly
in love with you?

or was I only a fragment
but your head is settled in
on another?

or just an acquaintance.
whatever I am

just tell me that I have
settled in your mind.

Is It Okay?
nicetomeetyou Feb 2021
Is it okay if I just cry...
Because all this weight
is killing me.

Is it okay if I say something stupid
Because I don't want to
hold it back anymore.

Is it okay if I trip again and again...
Because I don't know
where I'm going.

It's okay.

We all need some time
Just to breathe and understand
Yes, it is okay.

Deep Silence
nicetomeetyou Feb 2021
Oh no, it's happened
That deep, awkward silence comes
We sit still, smiling

Colors
nicetomeetyou Feb 2021
Could people be described
As colors?
Blue means sad, a red guy's mad

Well actually I think
We are all colors.
Rainbows after rain

and so
nicetomeetyou Mar 2021
somebody died
and so we grieve
somebody cried
and so we comfort them
somebody lied
and so we are angry
somebody suicide
and so we say
"they were too young, too young to die"

and so the world goes on

Smart (or So We Think)
nicetomeetyou Feb 2021
We're so smart,
So great, we could do
Anything.

Or so we think.

There are a billion
Zillion
Gazillion
Stars in the sky

The number of unknown
Are yet to figure out.
The number of things you don't know yet are endless

Care
nicetomeetyou Feb 2021
She only cared about them
But she didn't notice
He was caring for her

Program
nicetomeetyou Feb 2021
I imagine before
Birth,
We were only code.
Before we came to earth,
We were programmed.

But, when we were
Programmed,
There were glitches.
Needing reprogram,
No matter how small the mistake

Nobody,
Is one hundred percent
Perfectly created.
Nobody's a saint.

The Flower Blooms
nicetomeetyou Feb 2021
It started as a bud
Facing wind, sun
and dust -
A vivid pale color
Would you believe it?
Waited a year or
two... and now
the flower Blooms.

B l u r r e d
nicetomeetyou Feb 2021
A flash
Quickly passes by
A rush
Of feelings

Someone broke again
Help -
My tears are rain
A vision

The scream
Stop the hurt!
I can only bite my lip
As everything blurs

Poet's Block
nicetomeetyou May 2021
I haven't wrote in a while,
because every time I pick up my pen -
I'm blank and stare with a blank smile
and leave the paper white

It's called a "Writer's Block",
for poets, it's "Poet's Block",
but no matter how much I think
my brain is on a lock

But no matter that, 'cause
I hope I'll be back, to unlock,
To think more and more and more
So I can break my Poet's block.
53 · Feb 2021
Ouch
nicetomeetyou Feb 2021
You just had to make
It harder, more rough
When you knew, You Knew
It was already hard enough.

Like an edge of cliff
I may just fall off
Would it make any difference.
Ouch, Stop.

A spike is so small
So unimportant - insignificant.
Or what you think.
A spike could ****, make you bent
A spike could trip
A spike could rip

Your words are spikes
Your punch makes me fall
Down
down the cliff

Ouch.

Smile
nicetomeetyou Feb 2021
Your smile may look like
A thousand crystals, shining
But look closer --
Your smile is deceiving

Your smile is dry and ******
It contains what you think --
No, your smile means nothing.
I don't feel at all when you show it.

Your smile isn't kind
Or happy
Or gentle
Your smile makes me blind
But not because of
The joy you're spreading
But because
Your smile is deceiving

Only like an ornament
Because I know you know

Remember
nicetomeetyou Feb 2021
Remember to remember
The joy of
Running around

Remember to remember
How easy it was to
Make friends...

Remember to remember
How much a
Box of crayons valued

Remember to remember
Childhood.
Those where the best times
Of your life.

life thought #1
nicetomeetyou Mar 2021
life is just a slide --
where you enjoy it
at the beginning
then near middle
it starts getting bumpy

and on this slide
no one knows when
they may just fall
off

life thought #2
nicetomeetyou Mar 2021
if death were to meet me
would i sleep for eternity...?
sometimes i'm awake at night, tossing and turning, thinking about what happens when you die -- and when you die are you willing to leave from existence? and do you just "sleep" forever without knowing it?

— The End —
