Historical Desires
I want to live somewhere
that wreaks of history.
308 · Apr 2014
Smile.
Smile.*

Not the stupid
plastic killer clown crap.
Smile like you've just married
the love of your life.
308 · Apr 2014
Memories
I remember the feeling
of your hand on my back.

Soft and warm, yet supportive and tender.
Your face burst into a vibrant smile.

Seeing yours, mine lit up like the night sky.
I swear you could see it from *space.
307 · Apr 2014
Open Arms (Not the Song!)
Find me at the end of the road
with **open arms.
I love hugs. To greet people, I usually hug them because I like people who can appreciate a healthy hug. :)

When?
When will the walls tumble
and the cookies crumble?
305 · Apr 2014
Life is Awkward
My hand reaches for the salt
and instead lands right on top
of yours.
C'est la vie...That's life.
It's **awkward!
304 · Mar 2014
The Ocean of You
My eyes scan your horizon
hoping that maybe
you'll stare right back.
304 · Mar 2014
Love Alert
Help!**
I've fallen for you and
I can't get up!
303 · May 2014
Locked In
I tried to escape.**

I tried to escape from your labyrinth but
the doors *locked.
We all spin around on the same track of life
like a record,
but if you were to venture off,
you might find that you could play your tune elsewhere.

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

Pain (18 word)
I'm sorry I don't see
the pain in your eyes but
I'm sure you see it in *mine.

Family Ties
I fear that one day
I will look in the mirror and
see my mother's face
staring back at me.
298 · Apr 2014
Rivers
I think we all are rivers.
We need a direction
in which we can flow freely.
297 · Mar 2014
Let Me Go
Let me go.
You gave me the wings to fly so
let me go
explore the world around me
and find something that truly astounds me.
Let me go.
You are no longer in charge of my future.
Let me go.
I will find a place
not in your hovering embrace.
Let me go.
Let me go.
*Let me go.
I just realized that this poem looks like the shape of a tree. How ironic...

As a Poet
Why yes,
I do have the audacity
to say controversial things.
297 · Apr 2014
Please Tell Me
Sir,
please tell me
why you've grown so bitter.
Is it something I've said?
Did you skip your morning bread?

Sir,
I implore you to tell me
why you've grown so sad
because, well...
you still are my favorite lad.
A school girl crush develops into a love as the girl weeps at his deathbed. With tearstained cheeks, she begs for an answer.

People
People are razor sharp.
They ask and beg
and want and plead
until you are nothing but
shavings of a soul you once had.
296 · Apr 2014
Phrase (5 word)
White knuckles hurt
like unrequited love.
293 · May 2014
Sick Twisted Sadness
Lay me on the pile of bodies
then incinerate me like the rest.
291 · Apr 2014
I Push People Away
I don't mean to push people away.
Maybe I push because it's a sign
that better things are coming my way.
290 · Mar 2014
Work Transaction
I reached to turn on the lamp
and found you instead.
How surprising that you came!
I thought that you had a conference.
The back of his hand brushed my cheek.
Taken aback by the chill, I noticed his
hazy silhouette when he got into bed.
He started kissing me all over when I screamed,
"WHO ARE YOU?!?"
He answered...

*"Your boss."
I felt like doing a creepy poem.

To My True Love
If we have crossed paths before
I hope you be inclined
to meet somewhere again someday
with our history outlined.

Monster
You are not a demon nor a monster
but sometimes my mind thinks you so.
289 · Apr 2014
First Mate (8 word)
Even dastardly Captain Hook
needs a first mate.
286 · Mar 2014
Leave a Mark
Leave a mark on my soul
if you dare.
If you leave a scar,
it's like getting gum
out of your hair.
284 · Mar 2014
Because My Heart is Empty
Because my heart is empty
my stomach is empty.
I spill the contents of you
on the floor.
No rag will ever clean that up.
Love, romantic love, must wait.
But they didn't tell you about
the emptiness
that buries itself deep in
your flesh, bones, muscles
and tendons.

During Transit
Maybe I like travel because
it brings me one step closer
to finding myself.
282 · Mar 2014
Who is to Blame?
I am I the monster
or is society?

**I'm confused.
281 · Mar 2014
Smile Back
I love going places where
people actually look you in the eyes and
smile back.
281 · Mar 2014
Words
Use your words cautiously
for they make people drift away too soon.
280 · Mar 2014
Maps
I worship maps
like conservatives worship the Bible.

The rivers tell of stories and
the borders tell of wars.
The capitals tell of grandeur and
the cemetaries of horrors.
276 · Apr 2014
Going Home
Going back to the stress
and every single mess
that I have created in my life.
274 · Mar 2014
Resistance
I can't resist you.
You are the cookie
in the window of a sweet shop.
No matter how much money
you cost, I am buying
everything you offer.
274 · Apr 2014
Peace
I don't find the point in
violence.
Only peace will stitch together
our torn world.
273 · Mar 2014
Love's Location
I can't help but think of you
when I look at a map.

Filling the Void
Some call it eating too much.
I call it **filling the void.
271 · May 2014
The Month of May
In this precious month of May
will you go or will you **stay?
270 · Apr 2014
Glass
We etch our names
into our wrists
with broken glass.

My Romantic Side
Your lips linger on my cheek for just a
little
       longer

until you whispered,

"Please, let us not haste
for this time with each other
is a terrible thing to waste."


His smooth, velvety lips touched mine
and in an instant,
my brain erupted into a chemical storm
which devoured my body, mind and soul.

I cherished that day.
Never have we carped so much diem.
This never happened in reality. I just felt like it would be fun to write a romantic poem.

Typical Working American
Eyes caked with exhaustion,
crusted with insomnia,
devoid of all curiosity.
Life has stolen them
away from you.
Fight back.
**Claim what's yours.
266 · Apr 2014
Speak American, Seriously?
I despise the phrase,

*"Speak American."
How would you feel coming to a foreign country where you don't know much of
the language and being forced to speak that language? Being stripped of your heritage like that sounds immoral.
261 · Apr 2014
Every Tear
The rain tapping on the roof
reminds me of every tear
that I have shed for somebody
that I *shouldn't have cried for.
261 · Mar 2014
Find Me
Are you looking for me
as much as
I'm looking for *you?
The inspiration is a long story, but this one guy has been running into me every state gathering that we go to which is only once a year. It might be Fate, it might be God, who knows? He just said he'll find me.
256 · Apr 2014
Today
I keep telling myself that someday
I will do great things.
Maybe that someday should be today.
254 · Mar 2014
Food Confusion
I wish I knew
which foods are truly
good for me.
Right now, I'm reading the book Wheat Belly. Thus far, I have learnt that chemical companies have pretty much oblitherated our food supply. I'm scared. This is NOT a recipe for a healthy generation.
252 · Mar 2014
Food Relations
Have one bite.
No, maybe two or three
and let food tonight
be your only company.
I have always loved food. Although what I eat hangs on my body as excess fat, the joy of eating is hard to surpass.

Like a Cookie (10 word)
Right when I reach the
peak of perfection,
I *crumble.
