Touched you in many ways The feelings last for many days Left you shaking like a page The thoughts still amaze Momeries come in waves My stomach churns as my body graves

I like the way you laugh I like the way you tell corny jokes The way you sass people The way you look as you sleep in class Your cute voice Your small build The way you amaze me with your "wise" words When I see you down It makes me form a frown When I hear your abrupt laughter I smile after I don't know about you But all I know is That I like you A LOT ♡♡♡

~What is this called?~
She hides her emotions Deep in I think her heart was broken And its been bottled in She has this shell around her And a somewhat dark demeanor But yet I see her beauty Within her flaws you find perfection We fell in love with no intention And her personality humongous Or shall I not mention "Baby,he'll use" "Maybe he'll change you" "Surely he'll leave" But they don't know I need you They don't know what I know They don't share what we share She's always on the Gram Scalping beauty from starving models Does she not look in the mirror Does she not see that enchantment That beautiful black girl With beautiful black hair With a beautiful pearly smile And Darling star eyes Don't know if she gets it But I need her I crave her like a craze She is the definition of Amaze - ing

I gaze into my crystal ball, discern amidst the haze A world so far removed from that of now, it would amaze, Where catapulting incidents collide like billiard ***** And sense defies belief as renaissance makes the calls. Blueprints fresh from Internet supply the suitcase blast Where the terrorist’s, simultaneously, ignite in cities cast From Moscow to New York, Beijing to Berlin Gay Paree to London town then way out east again, Budapest, Jerusalem Calcutta burning all And Tokyo is levelled in a ghastly nuclear pall. Kneejerk reaction triggers contrails in the blue Crisscrossing all the continents obliterating through An overkill so vicious that in seconds it is past And the living cling in horror, bearing witness… aghast. Restraints are erased as the opportunists dash Flotillas from the Spratleys sprint to occupy and cash In on the minerals, oil and potential food supplies Of uncontaminated nations found beneath Pacific skies. Hindi, Jew and Muslim settle scores bereft with years Of resentment accrued in a flood of blood and tears. A sudden realisation of immensity of loss Curtails the destruction in retrenchment across The habitable outposts, the dearth of supply And the daunting prospects of a nuclear winter sky. Global collapse of all electronic gear No power, no phones, and no cars now…for years. Electromagnetic impulse put paid to all that And the day is as dark as the cold night is black. And here all we sit, in the here and the now On the verge of catastrophes’ teetering tower, With a fools pudgy finger just inches above The nuclear button…and all that we love. ……You fear the insanity, sense the insane Knowing that people like this are holding the reign? Knowing that volatility strikes Like the shot of a gun and the ****** of a knife. I don’t have the answers to hand But someone out there, knows how…and can. The sands of time are running thin URGENTLY needed a LEADER...to WIN! M. Planet Earth 6 March 2019

I just feel so much guilt, My words and actions built, I know, what I did was wrong, Tried to avoid it and be strong. Following me has been the truth, It was hurting like a tooth. A second more, I could not deny, Not apologising was a lie. I'm sorry, from deep inside, Clearly guilty, my hands are tied. It was obviously, all my fault, I have opened my inner vault. I'm really sorry for my recent actions, Selfishly searching for your reactions. What I did wasn't kin, I don't know what got into my mind. Something wrong with my psychology, From my heart I bring this apology. I know there are no valid excuses, Negative feelings arguments produces. I'm really sorry, I truly care, What I did was completely unfair, Hope you forgive me over time, I feel awful about my crime. Please give me a chance to explain, What I did was completely vain. It was clearly way beyond rude, Completely stupid, I must conclude. I used words, I did not mean, I need to stop-acting fifteen. My actions and words, simply not right, I'm sorry for my anger and spite. Please give me a chance to explain, There must be something wrong with my brain. My emotions, I must learn to control, And never hurt you, this is my goal. I look in the mirror, feel so much shame. It was my fault, I deserve all the blame. Just don't know what I was thinking, With all this shame, I feel like I'm sinking. All the consequences, I completely deserve, Can't imagine, where I found the nerve, I just feel like the biggest fool, What I did, was simply not cool. Your forgiveness, I earnestly plead, Without it, my heart won't be freed. Please forgive me, I miss you so much, Beautiful voice and your tender touch. I agree, I was wrong, Wish I could, sing a song, I know you're are mad, What I did was bad. Nothing about it, I'm proud, I was trying to impress the crowd. Next time I should really thing, Maybe even see a shrink What I'm trying to say, My love for you grow everyday. We should never fight, I need to hold you every night. I've been lucky to have a girl like you, I'm sorry if you only knew. Feel so bad, for being so rude, I'm sorry for messing up your mood. I promise to treat you like a Queen, I'm sorry for being so mean. If only somehow, I could make things better, This poem's from my heart, not just a letter. Your inner and outer beauty amaze, I'm sorry, for my crazy phase. I wish to give you my entire heart, Please forgive me, we could make new start.

Here comes that Beautiful Boy, Whose smile out shines the sun. That Beautiful Boy and his sweet nature Can be outweighed by none. With his Beautiful eyes so laid back, Their very nature brings me home. That Beautiful Boy and his security Are like nothing I have ever known. Oh, Beautiful Boy, do you like me? Oh, Beautiful Boy, do you lie to me? Oh, Beautiful Boy, will you please shine on me? I wonder about your kindness- Is it truly and sincerely real? Is there some similarity In the way we feel? Beautiful Boy can this really be? Beautiful Boy are you lying to me? Beautiful Boy please tell me what you see. Tell me what it is that attracts you to me. Oh, Beautiful Boy, do you like me? Oh, Beautiful Boy, do you lie to me? Oh, Beautiful Boy, will you please shine on me? Let the stars gaze upon your beauty, Boy. Let the birds sing upon your Beautiful joy. Beautiful Boy, can you please forever smile on me? Beautiful Boy, can you take you and I and make it we? Will the Beautiful Boy let the world amaze at his heart And bask in the richness that sets him apart? Oh, Beautiful Boy, will you be Beautiful for me? And show me how Beautiful I can be.

Beautiful Boy
I wake up in the morning and put on a pretty dress, My goal is to stun, amaze, and impress. I make it about halfway through school without fuss, But around 5th period I’m written up because cleavage isn’t a must. I’m getting punished for my own set of double D’s, Because the men around me get erections from a passing breeze. If kids in high school can’t control themselves, Why should I be the one punished for my huge shelves? Why are men not taught to respect women, But I am told I look slutty once again? You’d think boys would be more than their ***** by this time, But as of now cleavage is still a crime.

Cleavage Is A Crime
two people, two worlds, two souls. living as two; breathing as two. Wasted time no longer wasted. One sweet love finally tasted. My soul is here for you to take. My heart is here for you to break. Vulnerable is not just a word, but a way of life. Through the strife, you were there. Through the wears the tears, you were there. In the time where i was barely hanging on. My heart, it's singing a new song. For you, for you, only you. Baby, you amaze me. listen to my heart beat for you. Every Single Beat For you. Pain is ordinary. love is extraordinary. You are my world. The universe can't hold what we have. From the very depths of the soul. From ever fiber in my being. I breathe you, i feel you, i need you. My dreams came true in you. Love is no longer imaginary. It's in my reach, it's in my arms. The touch of love, the smell of love. it's familar to me now. what people say is true, love is blind. and deaf and mute. No distance traveled matches how far i would go for you. the ends of the earth is too short of a journey. the moon and back doesn't compare. your voice is music to my ears. surround me in your music. life would be lost without you. i could never find it. no matter what to cost, i'd buy it. even if it lasted for only a day. A day no longer than a few hours. Hours past, i miss you. Tick tock tick tock tock tock. you're not here, i'm not there. wait for me, my love, wait. soon we'll be together again. soon we'll breathe together again. as one person, one world, one soul.

I sit watching brown eyes probe affectionately through the haze at the mirrors created by close family. I think the intimacy that is made possible by the sharing of wine, **** and space in a dim room full of sad love and smoke will never ceased to amaze me. The men see themselves in each other and are both heartened in their own ways I am drunk now in my way and The Mirror is ****** in his and Brown (Green) Eyes is both at once Appalachian mouths move in turns to take a hit or a drink or a shot at wisdom Suddenly the truth of our three souls is laid bare on the tiny table there between us. My heart tightens around the words as they echo through each chamber growing louder with each reverberation. “Happiness is being able to breathe” Love you, Frank.

Wine, **** and Space
I need you to understand that it is okay to have a soul that is both tender and tired. I need you to understand that it is okay to be gentle with yourself, that is okay to feel what you are feeling. I need you to know that it is okay to not be okay, that it is okay to feel sad even if you do not fully understand it. I need you to know that you are the product of what is both hopeful and haunted within you, and it is okay to exist in this world as someone who is simply figuring out how to balance that. Because this is what they don’t tell you — being a human is a confusing and messy thing. Life will amaze you in the most stunning ways, and it will also break your heart. Life will gift you the kinds of lessons that grow you and build you and help for you to bloom into the person you have always hoped to be, but it will also carry within it the kinds of losses that stay with you, that change you and mould you in uncomfortable ways. Life will demand for you to heal even when it hurts. For you to be brave, for you to fight for yourself. Because at the end of the day, bravery isn’t a battlefield. It isn’t fast cars, or stunted risk. Bravery is the quietest thing you will ever know. Bravery is getting up in the morning when your bones are heavy and your heart does not want the light to crack within it. Bravery is being gentle with yourself, especially when it isn’t convenient or easy, especially when you are not a shining example of the person you strive to be. But most of all, bravery is the way you stretch towards the light. It is the way you bloom in the direction of goodness, even when you may not know what you are reaching for. Bravery is allowing yourself to believe that you are growing, even when it does not feel like it. Bravery is knowing that there is more for you, that you will save yourself like you always have before; that you will survive.

As the darkness spreads like a dark silk blanket, I feel her sleeping like a baby all scarlet In me burns a flame when i find her so close, Then a quiver on her lips like the winds on a rose.. A smile so sweet spreads across her face, My heart skips a beat and awes in amaze. A gaze upon me, with a twinkle in her eye, There's so much to say but all i do is sigh An innocent playful strand runs loose astray, jealous as i am from where restless i lay. Touch her, i could, coz she sleeps on my arm wake her up, i might with the touch of my palm. The moonlight shining on her smooth soft skin, I slowly pull out the knot held up by the pin The feel of her slipping hair so soft against my cheek, The sweet scent of jasmine makes me so meek. Like a floating boat i feel in the dark sweet scent I drown into my sleep with a feeling all spent !

*Maybe I'm too fat Maybe I eat like a man Maybe I've got no poise Maybe I'm too loquacious Maybe I...* Honestly, I know. **I know my tongue slashes throats and My eyes asphyxiates. I know my personality is too strong for a little person That I amaze and scare at the same time. I know I'm a strong lady- too strong for you to handle.** **That's why I have been able to stand up from where you pushed me. That's why I am able to think of myself. That's why I am not blaming love but the person in love.** Honestly, I know That you can't take the blades of my tongue Honestly, I know That you can't say I'm beautiful Honestly, I know That you do not love me like how I love you Honestly, I know That you are selfish Honestly, I know That I am now seeing truth After all these weeks of crying my eyes out, I'm back. because honestly i know

Across the field I strained to see Caught in the shadows of that old tree My gaze fell across the field that day Catching shadowed silhouettes that in the wind did sway 'Twas to the east of that old pine That shadows played tricks on these eyes of mine A pack of dancers in the wind Moving the requiem of my heart to rescind A lone figure began to alight In the beauty of the dawn's light Standing out in the cacophony of this scene Among all the life that grows green A single flower Above all which it did tower That single flower Coming after a call to THE highest power This beautiful brown eyed Daisy Destined to amaze me

Daisy
A sea of foliage girds our garden round, But not a sea of dull unvaried green, Sharp contrasts of all colors here are seen; The light-green graceful tamarinds abound Amid the mango clumps of green profound, And palms arise, like pillars gray, between; And o'er the quiet pools the seemuls lean, Red—red, and startling like a trumpet's sound. But nothing can be lovelier than the ranges Of bamboos to the eastward, when the moon Looks through their gaps, and the white lotus changes Into a cup of silver. One might swoon Drunken with beauty then, or gaze and gaze On a primeval Eden, in amaze.

Like a seed blowing across the wind In many directions it may go; Give it time, give it time Let it sprout, let it sprout; Step back, keep watch Let it amaze you; But don't go too far Because it needs you; Give it solid ground to stand upon Water it with tears of happiness Shine upon it with rays of love.

You left me with all these memories The way you stir your coffee That eyebrow you would raise Your quiet confidence Your understated Elegant style Your knowing ways You had me at hello And now at goodbye Always and still you amaze I'm a better man for loving you A sadder man for losing you I'm not going through a phase Just reminiscing, maybe convincing myself That I'm gonna be OK Dreams come in two varieties Those of tomorrow or the other For me, for us, there is only the past Why I dream only of yesterday I have no choice It just turned out that way I can almost touch you at times But when I try, you turn away

Hear your voice in every note, Feel your breath in every phrase, As my fingers dance on the keys, It's you I want to amaze. But you are not here. See your smile on every stave, Sense your hands embracing mine, An unresolved suspension, Betrays what's on my mind: You are not here But then, in the reflection of that ebony grand, I glimpse a moving figure, I see your eyes looking back at me, My music fades to a whisper. You are here. I turn to face you and you take my hands, You place them gently back on the keys, "Keep playing," You tell me, "Let me hear more, please." I take a breath, "Now you are here, I could play you my soul."

I enjoy your hugs The spontaneous, out of the blue hugs The "I like you" hugs The "I want to hold onto you" hugs I love the hugs you give me They make my days go from bad to good and when you leave my hands can still feel you I can inhale and still smell the scent you leave behind Gosh, your hugs amaze me The " I want to stay here forever" hugs The "I can't let you go" Hugs The "I love you" hugs I love the hugs I can't get enough of them Can't get enough of your hugs

That I adore you? That you amaze me? That you drive me crazy? That you push my limits? That you're beautiful? That I don't know what I'd do without you? That I love you? In case I haven't, I adore you. You amaze me. You drive me crazy. You push my limits. You're beautiful. I don't know what I would do with out you. I love you. I love you, I love you, I love you.

Have I Told You Lately?
He doesn't need Intra Ocular Lenses, To dismember my defenses. Without a Stethoscope, He can hear my heart, He won't have to take an MRI scan, To know where to start. He won't need to inject a syringe, To romantically unhinge, My every multiplying cell, Into a palpitating craze. He won't need a lubricating gel, To ****** and amaze. He won't require to operate Nor investigate, Me from head to toe, To plainly know, That I'm besotted, my insides knotted, My better sense clotted, In deep rooted feeling, Of immense love.

He stole my heart during surgery
The wind roared Whipping through the newly leaved trees The rain drops plummeted down from the clouds Soaking everything in their path Including a little girl Who loved to dance in the rain Lightning struck a tree not too far from her Thunder shaking the earth She laughed as the static and sounds waves coursed through her veins The storms reminded her of her parents Violent and loud during their fights And then clean and peaceful after they made up They also reminded her of herself Raw power barely contained inside her little form The ability to amaze and intimidate all at once The storm was a glorious force of nature And she was blessed enough to be one too

I love you said the moon love you as you are I love you said the earth love you for who you are I adore you said the moon You make my soul dance around I adore you said the earth You embrace me when the sun goes down I want to kiss you said the moon kiss your mountains, oceans too I want to kiss you said the earth kiss you nights kiss you days want to kiss you in amaze I heard the moon only now Heard her cry her avow I heard earth’s gentle whisper too Behind a brow, a distant brow It's forbidden, but it’s worth Oh I love to see how the moon kisses the earth

Forbidden love
Oh, the great and mighty Dragonfly. How he moves like no other, How he fights like no other, With any shark who would apply. With any shark who would apply, That great and mighty Dragonfly Would turn their angles right around. Before the ring, he’d beat them down. From every foe, he’s seen esteem. Astonished by his skill and poise, And in the minds of men and boys, He is the idol, hero, dream. Those who’ve yet to see him fight Have also yet to see the light, That new-age light that’s sparked late flames, And also snuffed unworthy names. They say that Mr. Dragonfly Has piles and piles of letters wrapped. Letters and letters of envy trapped, As many as of praise awry. Contrarily, in his own mind, He thinks eventually they’ll find The rumors should be flipped around And pedestal be taken down. For when arena lights are off Away from drunken cheer and quaff Away from praise aside of scoff The hero has no golden crown. He has no talent to be praised, No superpower to amaze, But just a body, flesh and bone, A mirrored face he’s never known.

When I decided to write my first poem, I thought back to the days, when we were studying poetry and the teacher would amaze, she'd make me write down words and things, I'd be chasing praise. But looking back at my book now, I know what I should do, and so here follows my glossary of things I'll write for you: I have - Alliteration, Antagonist, Allegory and Anapest. Characterisation, Complication, Convention and Connotation. Elegy, Elision, Epigram and Exposition. Free verse, Falling action, Falling meter and also Fiction. Literal language, Imagery, Lyric poem and Irony. Rising action, Resolution, Rising meter with Recognition. Acatalectic, Anacreontic, Amphimacer and Amphibrachic. Cliché, Common Measure, Couplets and Catalectic. Deconstruction, Dispondee, Dialect Verse with a Dictionary. Iambic Meter, Incantation, Impromptu with Inspiration. Laureates and Limericks, Light Verse poems and Linguistics. Metaphors, Mock-Heroics, Middle English and Movement Poets. Oh gosh that seems a little worse, than I had it made to be, I was expecting just to write a poem 'bout my cat and me. I guess it's harder than it looks so I'll just give up now; I'll let those big brave poet people, write them all somehow.
