"chatting" poems
Spending a month in a hospital teaches you a lot about people. The doctor that told me to shave my head or she wouldn't treat me, The nurses that spent forever chatting to me And giving me supportive advice about how my illness doesn't define me. The woman who was given a terminal cancer sentence And chose not to pay attention to it and defied it anyway. How she sat next to me on my bed, Told me that all suffering is valid, And just because I'm not dying, doesn't mean I don't get to complain. How she complains more about her skin problems Than she ever complained about her cancer, And that's OK, because pain rarely follows rules. I never even learned her name, But she gave me the words I hold most closely to me On those days when I want to fall asleep and never wake up. I'm allowed to scream and shout and rage against the pain And the unfairness of it happening to me. I just have to make sure I know where the line is Between giving my darkness a voice and pitying myself.

Hospital Wards Become Life Lessons
In this new world so connected digitally Online with your smartphone or desktop continuously Every touch or click with your fingers sublimely Connecting messaging chatting seductively Rush of dopamine brain lives ecstatically Bits and bytes that rise and fall emotionally Waiting for physical touch earnestly LDR love seem to be extraordinarily Yet to see LDR grows into LTR eventually

LDR to LTR
The last kiss from you Lasted like a huddle in The snow blitz Rocking my anatomy In the frosty glitz The last words from you That barged in my eardrum You were in a hurry To smell a new leaf Draped in a diamond dew The last gifts from you Was an instrument Which still I use To recognize people Or to refuse! The last time You said I love you I remember I was laughing Hysterically as if I was watching Jared Leto’s jaded mimicry of Joker in YouTube Intriguingly, when the last time I saw you **** It felt like pretty Ivanka’s embarrassment Noticing her dad is a lewd The last time I was chatting With you on Facebook I was wondering why I shouldn't hack your account? To check your inbox Yea, it was filled with the message of ******* F- Bombs, **** shaming and tagging you as harlot All they were asking was your service of escort Either in full discount or in hefty cash drops! The last time I wrote A letter of love to you I discovered my Keyboard Began to blurt out No more, No more, No more… The last time I had a chit-chat With you in the Burger King or Pizza Hut I listened to your hissing clack-clack That someone else has become your puppy cat… The last time I became sick When I was with you I heard you threw a party Where you were whispering To your besties, how I become your double whammy! The last time I was With you in the bed I felt like I was indentured To **** a dummy toy Sans spirit and flesh! Loving you was like Santa Claus gifted me With a Pandora’s Box As soon as I opened it You decided to release Our *** tape of your having ****** In pornhub’s forum of interracial! The last time I heard of you Is that you were giving an interview To The Cosmopolitan’s board of review Facing the barrage of inquisitions You calmly joked, the series Of latest uproar about you In the social media or Internet Is because certain people always Love to rave about Women’s body Shoving in and out of their pigeonhole With their one night stand queen trophy To flavor your form in their fantasmic mouth You also smirked in a raspy voice Defiantly declaring “we (women) Have been locked indoors With no air, no food, no water” My last boyfriend is also no exception He certainly thinks I came this far Through ******* and deception

Oppressive patriarchy or self-imposed victim hood- Hasan Maruf

*I sat down with you In the coolness of the night air Watching you sip Dr. Pepper After a long day's work I listened to the sounds of summer Watched a few stars twinkling In the jet colored sky We were happily chit-chatting About this and that We were all together Just us three Oh, those summer evenings Gone forever Only shadows remain Touching my heart* ~Marian~

For You Both ♥
When we fell asleep video chatting every night for a month When I cried because you were the first person to make me feel like I wasn’t alone When you excitedly told me about kissing a girl in a cemetery When you sent me videos of your dirt bike When we went cruising and listened to songs from our favourite band When you tried to teach me how to game When you told me everything you love about your girlfriend When you talked about engines and cars with me even though I didn’t understand When you saw I was feeling bad even at the one place I’m always happy When you didn’t ask questions when I asked you to get rid of my razors, but instead told me how proud you were When you held me as I cried, knowing I hate crying in front of people When you let me fall asleep holding you even though I was cold and wet When you held my hand when we woke up on the day when everyone had to leave When you let me hug you a hundred times because you knew how much I’d miss you When you gave me closeness and friendship and love unlike anything I’d ever known before When we sat in my porch for 3 hours after fireworks were shot at people during a party, so you could make sure I was okay When you let me cuddle you even though your friends would give you a hard time When you told me you’d help me out if anyone ever hurt me When you took a selfie with me When you carried me everywhere *** I was tired When you held my hand going down a steep trail because I couldn’t see and you knew I was scared When you brought me extra food because you knew I skipped lunch When you were protective over who I was friends with When I came over to your house for the first time and we made pizza, gamed, and hung out with your family When you had you first kiss with me When you always showed you were protective of me and became the big brother I never had When you told me you were bi on the first day we met When you told me that only people you know well or that you like get to know you’re bi When you cried and told me all your favourite facts and memories of a friend who had betrayed you When you told me I had a cute nose When you fell asleep holding my hand When we hugged eachother after not seeing eachother for a year When we kissed for the first time When we kissed more When you were my date When you told me I was the only non-celebrity you’d go gay for When we danced together When we agreed to have an annual one week relationship When you were the first girl I loved When I met these people I never thought we’d get to the point were at now. I doubt I’ve effected their lives as much as they’ve effected mine but it doesn’t even really matter because I have them and that’s all that matters to me

Distance Is not just about being miles apart. Distance Can be about Being a road away from each other Yet never having the chance to meet. Distance Is not just about different time zones. Distance Can be about Chatting online everyday But replying with only "yes", "no", or "k". Distance. It hurts more When you're so near Yet so far.

Little girls with their hair in pig tails old men chatting away over a game of cards the endless clapping of heels on concrete madness business men in suits and ties faces melding to iPhones catholic priests ******* kids they know his name danger in a lightning flashed smile panic in a thunder clapped laugh they know his name but it never leaves their tongues he dances in the gaps of their teeth and chips away at our heart strings incessant whispers in our ears telling us what we want what we need he stands off in the shadowed corners of every forgotten room in every one time family home as we watch our worlds crumble around us if Christ lives inside of all then he has one hell of a roommate

Roommates in Hell
I love my younger siblings lots: having one sister and one brother. We keep ourselves in our thoughts, because we cherish one another! Tammy is my sister's name, while my brother is then Tim. I love keeping our pics in frame(s): both sibs look great to me, so slim! We're chatting online so much: keeping each other up, of course. Usually loving to keep in touch, together, we're kept: a strong force! On holidays, we stay back at home: to play games and take tons of pics. We're all kept together in good zone; our hearts are all definitely so fixed!

My Two Precious Sibs
An empty park picnic table cooled by the light, whispering breeze, spotted by the burning life-giving sun. I see us there. chatting, laughing, enjoying each others company in this never-ending summer. I see myself dressing up as the wife, laying out a picnic basket and table cloth. Pouring iced tea into a chilled glass, Watching the condensation slide down your fingertips as your throat gulps in the refreshment. I lay a blanket on the grass, inviting you to come sit. We lay. And that chuckling breeze picks up and lifts the whole of my 1950s homemaker dress. You smooth it back down, lowering your hand on my hip. The wind has stopped, but you keep smoothing away… down my thighs, across my backside, up my back, until my head is cupped in your hands nearing closer to your face. I would not call it a kiss, because a “kiss” is too short a word, too precise and too emotionless to fit this phenomenon. You embrace me fully leaving no passion unaccounted for, no ounce of me left untouched. I succumb to your embrace and we start to make love when… A car horn beeps. I blink. Look around, and remember that I’m sitting in a library parking lot looking at an empty picnic table.

A Picnic Table
IS THIS WORLD CHANGE, OR CONTINUE TO SOME AGE… WHO CARES The Earth is big enough for carrying us, But no one here for caring us. Everyone stabs on everyone’s back, Peace and love what every being lacks. What that costs, was morals and ethics are lost. Here ,relationships are just for name sake, Belief and trust all are fake. Friends are used, Then abused. Just for achieving, Are you going to live in this world just for receiving, And not giving??? No one dares, To share their emotions, As this fake world laughs and giggles on their notion. In Every motion. Every one thinks of their gain, Not thinking of others pain. Backbiting and back chatting is what we are doing Throughout our life, Has become an indispensable part for ours to survive. Help them oh! God, To open their eyes Or else time will show its disastrous styles... Shake your hands forgetting all evils and bads, And withstand the ladder of life. Then neither will cry nor fight, for their rights. “LIVE AND LET LIVE” is the golden rule to follow, Make this your goal, Till you leave your body and become a great soul. Make this world as it was, With no over-population, And pollution All that it has…

who cares!
"hello." He mumbled shyly He was cute Bright green eyes and Messy black fringy hair. Texting Calling Chatting Was our pastime together Months later.. "Happy Valentine's day!" "Happy Monthsary, babe!" "Happy Anniversary!" It was all too fast But fun "Who's that?" I asked, looking over his shoulder As we were sprawled on the sofa, cuddling. His text read, "hello." To a girl Another And I felt sad Because those were the words he first said to me He said, "Nothing." And I believed it. But then he stopped texting me Calling Nor chatting He stopped remembering Valentine's Day Our Monthsary Our Anniversary and stopped saying I love you Boys. Boys could say he likes you, Boys could pinch you playfully, Boys could love you endlessly, And say you didn't mean a thing. Boys

Boys
I have been forced, Out of domicile, And now **** bored, With sojourners' world worthwhile. I used to love phones, It's versatility in functioning, Obeying instructions  at all zones, I loved making calls and chatting . That was long ago , When it made me feel at home, Simply chatting could let go , Steam and heartbreak loom. Not now at this century , Where them need airtime to pick  a call, Where successive missed  calls arouse no worry, When they no bother reply at all. I won't lower my self -esteem, Not because of them dissaproval, That I aint  classy and fit for hymn, Its okey if u take me for a mall. Needless fight a loosing battle anymore , You won't torture me again as u laugh, Beaming is me at nirvana jaw, I declare enough is enough.

Facebook (Acrostic Poem)
To some she is a shining light A flash of hope amongst the dark An optimistic helping hand To pull you from the dark And cheer your sorrow To some she is a black hole Pulling the world down with sadness Reliving the past that broke her And stabbing others with the shards To some she is simple words plastered on a white canvas painting a picture. never more but never less To most she is unnoticeable A tiny footnote scribbled in the corner of a forgotten notebook A wall flower whose thorns push away all but those with the key to her locked heart. When you ask me what she is The answer is impossible Because I don't know But I can tell you what she's not She is not a beautiful face, to stop you in a crowd She is not a chatting girl to talk you into a date She is not a innocent flower Welcoming with open arms She is not a genius to create the next invention She is not a musician, an author, a designer, a star, a doctor, or a hero She is not a loving companion for you to hold, and remember your every need She is not a great friend, always there in a flash. She is not a friendly person, starting up the conversation She is not a good cook, making meals that are edible She is not an unscarred girl, unscathed by the past She is not a beautiful figure That draws your eyes She is not hilariously funny Ready for stand up comedy She is not someone to remember though she will remember you However she is not fazed by judges Changing ways to suit them She is not perfect She is not stopped by her imperfections, only pressed farther to become something more. And though I can not say who she is or what she will be. Here's what I can say To me she will always be the girl staring back in the mirror.

Through so many years I ran Afraid and ever cowering The darkness always at my back Voracious, all-devouring Through my mind its black claws reached And picked apart my sanity They scraped all chance of joy away With endless inhumanity Through the days and months and years it chased and clawed relentlessly Eventually I wondered why I ran unending breathlessly Through the dark I turned and looked Pursuit suspended nervously I granted it a name and face It glared with vicious fervency Through its threat I held my gaze And ventured forth an inquiry Its flare of rage could not repress My newfound curiosity Through the long nights we conversed Debating, chatting, bickering The darkness that devoured my life Shrank back, diminished, flickering Through the darkness I now saw With unexpected clarity We spoke as friends, no longer foes Embracing newfound parity Through the dark I look, and laugh My friend now laughs along with me Despite how it had always seemed The darkness is a part of me

Through the Darkness
There are three types of heartaches Heartache #1 The heartache where you were never loved back. He’d look at you and smile but you know the sparkle in his eyes isn’t because of you. He’ll hug you goodbye but you can smell the scent of her perfume as you snuggle your head into his neck. He would turn away and you’d look at him as if he was the most celestial being you’ll ever see and you’ll remember, the way you look at him, is the way he looks at her. Heartache #2 The heartache where you strive to make their life a living hell. You’ll break his heart and realise when it’s too late that you’ve broken yours in the process as well. So while he is sitting next to you because he has no other choice, you hum the song that he dedicated to you just loud enough for him to hear, and you’ll know it’s driving him mad. And you’ll wear the shirt he said he loved on you as you pretend to run into him, whether it’s walking casually in the hallway or chatting with someone who happens to be right near his locker. You’ll find a new boy to smile and laugh with and you’ll know he is in the distance watching, remembering how he used to be the one that got that smile out of you. Heartache #3 The heartache that never goes away. The one with the mesmerising blue eyes and smug smile that could devour your soul in a heartbeat. It’s the restless nights of talking about all your fears, dreams, insecurities; everything that makes you, you. It’s the way you let yourself be vulnerable as he touched your naked skin. He’ll hold your hand and make promises he never intended to keep. He’ll make you believe every word he says is true. He’ll make you see that planting flowers in your lungs is so much better than destroying yourself. But he’ll fail to tell you that once those flowers die, you wont be able to breathe.

Heartache
There are three types of heartaches Heartache #1 The heartache where you were never loved back. He’d look at you and smile but you know the sparkle in his eyes isn’t because of you. He’ll hug you goodbye but you can smell the scent of her perfume as you snuggle your head into his neck. He would turn away and you’d look at him as if he was the most celestial being you’ll ever see and you’ll remember, the way you look at him, is the way he looks at her. Heartache #2 The heartache where you strive to make their life a living hell. You’ll break his heart and realise when it’s too late that you’ve broken yours in the process as well. So while he is sitting next to you because he has no other choice, you hum the song that he dedicated to you just loud enough for him to hear, and you’ll know it’s driving him mad. And you’ll wear the shirt he said he loved on you as you pretend to run into him, whether it’s walking casually in the hallway or chatting with someone who happens to be right near his locker. You’ll find a new boy to smile and laugh with and you’ll know he is in the distance watching, remembering how he used to be the one that got that smile out of you. Heartache #3 The heartache that never goes away. The one with the mesmerising blue eyes and smug smile that could devour your soul in a heartbeat. It’s the restless nights of talking about all your fears, dreams, insecurities; everything that makes you, you. It’s the way you let yourself be vulnerable as he touched your naked skin. He’ll hold your hand and make promises he never intended to keep. He’ll make you believe every word he says is true. He’ll make you see that planting flowers in your lungs is so much better than destroying yourself. But he’ll fail to tell you that once those flowers die, you wont be able to breathe.

This will be no sad song, I don’t want to overflow the rivers of tears with a flood of my own. We have all seen enough to fill oceans, In dark corners I have seen the fates sitting around and smile. Some rivers overflow, and other scrap together every last penny just to fight another day. You die, I die, the president will die. Our voices will not crawl along the edge of a river rasping at the others to accept the waters. We will trumpet the tail of the glory of life from the after-party. Chatting casually with a soldier wearing the wrong colors. Is there one among us who does not bear the blood of countless souls? The best champagne will not open to the highest bidder. Nor will it be enjoyed by one, but by the prostiuite by the cop by the technician, yourself and I. All of us enjoying each other’s stories, none shall be left from the table, the best champagne all shall toast with it. An epic of a fight with a lion and the wind, of living through time and the difficulties of never cutting the delicate surface no struggle greater than either. The old skeletons will find new life and I will dance freely with them arm in arm, for a second or eternity. We will stand proud together singing and dancing before the after party. Then we shall toast to it all. We shall toast the ever so careful historians, did they really think they could fit, even the after party on any number of pages?

Walt Whitman imitation poem
Candle Magick A Poem by Corset My Latina Coworker sat across from my desk; heartbroken that her lover wanted to try again with his wife; pulled out a brown paper sack and asked me if I believed in hummingbird candle magick, and then proceeded to tell me how to cast a love spell. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I told her I believed in the power of mind to shape her universe. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Two days later she's snap chatting her married lover again, has been unblocked and has now switched to candles of ********** !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My dog has diarrhea and is blowing holes through the walls of her crate, I must have lit the wrong kind or color of candles. © 2015 Corset

Candle Magick
I walk through these hallways. So silent. Just trying to get to class. I move at a quick pace because I can't stand To see everyone look away as I pass. I sit down alone in the back of the room. I pay attention to the teacher, But sometimes I zone out. Sometimes I think about boys, or hair, Or all of the people who refuse to care. The sub gives us busy work, so I look around the room. I see everyone chatting and having Their pointless teenage conversations. I do my work silently until the bell rings. It's too easy. I move from class to class, Just hoping the time will pass A little faster than it usually does. Nothing really matters anymore, really. My friends don't talk to me. My ex boyfriend just looks at me funny. I obsess over my weight; my hair; my skin. I am not used to this. I am not used to changing all the time. I used to be outgoing; magnificent; popular; funny. Now I'm just awkward; quiet; alone; unhappy. High school makes me miserable, but at least I have good grades.

we create worlds here on the internet connecting we those we will never see chatting over virtual back fences about children, cats, recipes we meet those who have similar views and those who don't discuss things of import show sympathy with sad faced emoticons we wish each others pets happy birthdays with cartoon characters we share our art, music and photography then there are us poets who write our hearts for others to see it is a melting *** of thought and culture of the full spectrum of ability..... it is a place of secrets or exhibitionist excess it is in many ways a wonder and many ways a curse the internet, really just like the bottom of an old ladies purse full of useless lint and used tissues, but if you ferret arond long enough you will find a dollar or a hard candy
