Don't Take Love for Granted

Fiery Heart (8 word)
We are the only ones in the room.*
Your eyes seep into me like honey dripping from a beehive.
We pass by each other and your fiery gaze draws me *closer.

I take in a sharp breath, forgetting the commotion around us.
Nobody else is in the ballroom.
Just us until the music stops.
This poem is from the scene when Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth dance for the first time during the Bingsley ball in the movie Pride and Prejudice. This poem is from Elizabeth's perspective, full of internal passion and love. Everybody wants a love like Elizabeth's and Mr. Darcy's. <3

Swells and Crescendos
Sometimes the
swells and crescendos
in my heart
scare me.

Entirely New Definition
You give an
entirely new definition to the words
live,  laugh, and love
which encompasses everything
that I've always dreamed of.

Time to Go
When silence loves you better than your family,
**It's time to go.

Normal
Please tell me,
Who is normal?
Is normal some kind of
condition that society
divides people into
or did we find a way to
create it ourselves?

In many ways,
normal and weird
are the same things.
If only we knew how to identify
those stuck in-between.
This is not the Victorian Era.
Let my body wander where it wants to.
I have no desire to be trapped
like a mouse in the grip of a boa constrictor.
I want to feel free to love
however I want to.

It Only Goes Down
Discrimination

The Frayed End
I am forever
the frayed end of a shoelace.
Not like any other part of the shoelace
but still holding onto normal.

Humility (6 word)
Never judge.*
You don't know the condition of their shoes.
The downtrodden have this unique way of hiding themselves. I try to make it my goal not to judge by appearance.

Love Passed
Love should be like genes,
passed along through every generation
never stopping.
**Never.

Listen to Nature
Listen to nature,
never money.

At least trees can rustle their leaves.
Dollar bills just smell.

Ours
I refuse to dance around the words
"I love you."
The power that you awaken in my soul
gives those words upon my tongue
a meaning,
a sign,
a call to arms because
two months is long enough
to live out years of memories.

I look into your eyes and I see
the world glittering before me.
Those grinning cheeks that stole my heart away
like a thief remind me of what we have,
and it's special.
No special concoction or solution
could possibly dilute such a strong connection.
Not even Einstein could crack the code
to the lock that binds us together.

In this time of
"hands off"
and
"it's mine"
we finally have something that we can call
"ours"
and it's **beautiful.
This is from the depths of my love-drenched soul. Enjoy :)

In Others
We find happiness in others
that we don't find in ourselves.

Love Word Vomit
Let me drink you in.
The alluring scent on your skin.
That euphoric smile upon your lips.

The elixir of emotions
that you stir in me
mixing into a concoction
of love.

Draw me closer to your embrace
because nobody else will EVER
take your place.

Roam
Freely we roam
like sea foam
bubbling
dancing
floating
fading
on the glittery mirrors of light
reflected in your eyes.

**Your eyes.

Closer (8 word)
Come closer.
You don't need
to be

**alone.
Loneliness is an option, but not a very happy one.

Life Without Love
What is
life without love?

I can't even fathom
the thought of having
a body without a heart
a sandwich without bread
a winter without the holidays
a brain without thoughts...

I could go on until infinity.
It just simply isn't done!

Get Off Your "High Horse!"
Your ego is atrocious.
This will sound precocious
but you should at least try
to eat some humble pie.
Some people on this site are so arrogant and boastful of their works. They need to step back and realize that they are not the ONLY POET on this site let alone planet Earth!

Te Veo/See You
En un mar de ojos

I only see you.
Our love is strong. Nothing will ever separate us.

Carry On (10 word)
We must find the love
inside ourselves
to carry on.
Life is hard. We falter and we fall, but that does not mean to give up. We must dig deep and find the love inside ourselves to keeping going.

Intertwined
We will find ourselves
on a couch intertwined
like vines. Our hands
laced together
like a doilie.
Ah beautiful love. Is there anything more spectacular in the world?

To Depart
My time has come to depart.
We shall not be apart

Ah, that aching feeling of a goodbye. The absence eats you from the inside out. I will see him soon. Just reflection. :)

History on Repeat (10 word)
When will we
finally
not let history
repeat itself again?
Let us fight for equality for everyone on Earth. We shall try our best to eradicate prejudice, genocide, discrimination and all  acts of injustice.

Why I Sigh So
Why do I sigh so?
You should know
why I sigh so!
Your eyes fill me
with love and glee
while your masculine smell
envelopes me all too well.
Your kisses are soft and sure
while you still act cheeky and demure.
Our innuendos and jokes,
grabs and pokes
make the hours pass like minutes.
You hold my hand
like it's a piece of treasure
and you're the pirate with the pleasure
of protecting it.
Your countless stares
evoke flares 
of passion in my heart,
so even if we are apart
I know that you are there
and that you will always think me fair.
You love me 
as I love you.
That is as true
as the blue sea
where we, together,
will swim happily.

Profound Silence (8 word)

No Cabes
No cabes en mi corazón.
No hay ningún espacio para ti.
You don't fit in my heart. I'm talking about the guy in my past. Not my present guy who makes me insanely happy :)

I Can't Stop Smiling
I can't stop smiling
every single day.
I think that it's because
you finally came my way.
I finally found that the guy that I truly have feelings for is a supportive, generous and amazing guy. :)

Womanly Toils
To carry life,
every single month
we feel like our
compressed pipes and tubes
will burst
therefore I say,

*"Praise to the toils
of the woman."

Always Unrequited (10 word)
And a mind with regret
tells my heart to forget.
I will slowly turn the page to the next chapter in my life, without you.

Ring Around the Rosey
Ring around the chamber,
who will go inside?
I'm starving and *****
so why would I hide?

I feel my ribs, but my stomach even more.
Many girls have been violated again and again like penny ******.
I don't know what to feel
because for the first time
I don't think God is real.

A shower will do me good, I say.
They wouldn't want us to stink, if we did stay.
I pull off my stripes.
The nakedness appalls me.
As far as I could see
I found human skeletons
staring back at me.

The door shut, but water there was none.
Every person bled into one
massive grave.
For every life, a soul gave.

Ring around the rosey
pocket full of posey
ashes,
ashes,
they all
            fall
                  **down.
This is my first Holocaust poem. I hope you like it :)

In this precious month of May

You Are Who I'm Not
I love you a lot because
you are who I'm *not.
You've heard about the phrase opposites attract, right? I think this phrase, in many cases, is true.

What I Believe (4 word)
Love** is my religion.
In order to appreciate all religions, I cannot be biased or follow any particular one. Because of that, I live my life for love and sharing that love with everyone around me.

Shaking Hands
I look over at those shaking hands
and I think,
"What if I helped calm the quaking?
*Would you smile at me?"
In choir I sit next to a guy that I really like who has a beautiful voice. His hands shake sometimes and I always have the urge to hold them in my hands to take away the quaking.
Take your dream and
**run with it!
Nobody can hold you down, except yourself.
¿Cómo se dice
"homesickness"

Viajé a Costa Rica el verano pasado y cambié mi vida. Pura Vida! I went to Costa Rica this past summer and it changed my life. :)

You Don't Think
You don't think I'm ready
to see the world?

You don't think that I'll
accept people?

You don't think that
I want to live?

One day you will see
when your only glimpse of me
will be in a **picture frame.
I'm sorry, Mom, but I think I am ready for culture shock. You don't realize that I want out. I want to experience real life, a life that doesn't revolve around the same skin color or people all the time.

Enigma (5 word)
Your eyes are an

Judged.
I see the question before a test
"Mark your ethnicity"
and I think

Who the hell gives you
the right to care about
my skin color?

As if I am proud of my ancestors
putting the Native peoples on reservations
and hissing at innocent school children.

What have we become, America?
We condemn those that
"hop the border"
yet we don't recognize that
we are the aliens.

Bigots that don't step back
and marvel at our
beautiful mosaic of diversity.

Love where you come from,
but NEVER mistake
victory for **degradation.

Beautiful
Yet you never understand how
beautiful you are.
