Is that
Life is
so
****
**precious.
To all who knew Andy, my condolences and deepest sympathies are for you. I never met him or even talked to him, but a life taken at 15 because of cancer is worth writing about.
When will the walls tumble
and the cookies crumble?
When I am gone,
find me in the
slow, creeping morning light
at dawn
when the dew glistens
and returns to its creator.

When I am gone,
find me in the sparrow
that swoops and bends
to find the perfect place
in a giving tree.

When I am gone,
find me in the genuine smiles
of those around you
whom you fill with great joy.

When I am gone,
find me in the radiant sun
peaking through the clouds
giving light to the world.

When I am gone,
feel my love
for my love is a candle
ever burning, never fading,
always understanding that
sometime we will meet again
soon.
I need a guy
that swoons
when I play the piano.

He needs to love the way my long fingers
reach for octaves, ninths and tenths.

He must grin when
I nail my tricky sixteenth note runs
and
he must support me
when I perform ill-preparedly.
Opens book
When you reach me,
I will love you
beyond comprehension.
Our love will be brilliant novel
from start to finish.
It will include epic poems,
romances and even puns.
Half of the book will be written
in your native language because it is
as sacred as mine.
Sparks, spontaneity and serendipity
will accompany our senses of adventure.
Who knows?
There might even be a few children in the future!
*The end.
Who are you
to try to eliminate
a whole class
of people?

What disease severed your heart
and made you take out your frustrations
on innocent people?

Yes, man may be evil,
but we all first learned to love.

*Where did that love go?
His love flew out the window with his compassion and empathy.
Love**
is the only way.
I am convinced that love is the only way to world peace. It cannot be achieved through war, violence or heated arguments. It's through accepting and loving each and every person's differences that bring world peace and true happiness.
Extroverted-social butterfly, can talk with almost anybody, can get out of sticky situations by talking through them.

I
Ntuition-goes with what their instincts are, trusts their gut, are spontaneous.

Feeling-goes with what feels right to them, feels deeply, loves connecting on a personal level with people.

J**udgemental-judges by outlook and action but not by information, quick to comment, not hindered by self-consciousness.
I am I the monster
or is society?

**I'm confused.
Who is this "you"
you write about?
For many people, you is a love, a thing, a passion or God. I love the word, but find that it's used in too many poems.
I've tried burning the house down,
bringing the dogs in and
snatching up every piece of furniture you have.
Now tell me, sir, why do you refuse to leave?
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.
I don't know why
I even try to fly
when the world keeps
clipping my wings.
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."
Woo me by your intelligence.
Drag me deep into a conversation
that seemed to last for a minute
but really took all day.

Woo me by your touch.
Take my freezing hands in yours
until your warmth makes me feel again.
Wipe my tears away and support me
when I'm drowning in my misery.

Woo me by your romance.
Take me out dancing and gaze into my eyes.
Treat everyday like it's our last day together.
Hold every glance like it's the first day we met.

*Value our love.
Use your words cautiously
for they make people drift away too soon.
Words can slice and dice peoples' hearts
quicker than a knife ever will.
Words bring emotion and people will always remember how you made them feel.
The same thing
The same thing
over and
over and
over again
over again.
It's monotonous
It's monotonous
but it gives
but it gives
me money
*me money.
I really hate work.
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.
I am pondering breaking my pencil.
I wish the world was not so
precariously perched
on my shoulders.
One day it will fall
and everyone will be disappointed.
The only person truly happy would be me.
Look into my eyes
and say with me,
*"I am worthy of love."
I refuse to write you a love story
by myself because
we must write it
**together.
You are the gloria
to my hallelujah.

You are the letters
to my language.

You are the melody
to my song.

You are the blood
to my body which
courses through me
and sustains me.
Notes (optional)
You are
the ink,
the page,
the poem.
"Surely you must've known, it was all for you." -Pride and Prejudice
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.
When will you finally agree that
people are more important than profit?
If there are no people to feed,
then how can you expect to keep your
multi-national billion dollar corporation
running?

**You Can't!
Ever since your junior year,
I have never been the same.
This is an ode to my friend that I met as a freshman in high school while he was a junior. I must admit that for 3 straight years that I had an unwavering crush on him, but throughout those years, he helped me become who I am. He is now
my mentor and a very close friend of mine. I love people like my friend in this poem that helped me change for the better.
You shut me out
with your words
your actions and
your body language.

You don't appreciate me
or my talents.

You don't want to get to know me.

Worst of all,

You don't care
about me.
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.
Yet I still feel like leaving.
Parents. that's all I have to say.
Your eyes
unbutton every button
unzip every zipper
unfasten every clasp
and tear through my soul
like a ravaging bull
hungry for a meal.

I'm sorry,
but I'm not meant to be
devoured...
What do you do when
the walls are closing in on you?

You push

**as hard as you can.
Your existence is swirling around me
like a hurricane,
engulfing and swallowing me up.
I must find you.
Your melody represents life.
Most of the time chords support you.
They amplify and boost you up.
Then there are the notes.
They go up and down to symbolize
the constant rollercoaster ride of emotions.
Your emotions also change the quality of your supportive chords.
You can make your support minor
or you can make them happy and major.
There are times of dissonance and tension
but also release and resolution.
Your tune can be sorrowful, pitiful, mournful or joyful.
It's all what you make it.
Why do my eyes
cloud up when I hear
your name?
I still freeze
when I hear
your name.

Nothing haunts me more
than the what-ifs
that churn around in my mind
caused by you.

Your azure eyes
that burned me
everyday in choir
have branded
permanent marks
in my mind.

Now, each day,
I must look into the mirror
and face the fact that
although I can see you,
you will never be a part of my life.
I long to know
Your plans for me.
I want to drown
in your sea.
Whoever you are, I want to find you.
Zone, zone, zone some more,
what do I have to prove?
I always used to love him so
now just let me move.

— The End —
