"personify" poems
1.) You have the most loving heart. Your warmth, your gentle touch that you personify without words. Melts the supports of my heart 2.) Eyes of deep blue, that ensnare me and leave me thoughtless. How they change into everglade greens, and mystical greys. They're beautiful 3.) Few laughs may be as pure as your quiet giggle. The mere sound gives me goosebumps and a funny feeling in my stomach. You're so freakin' adorable 4.)The curves of a semi-circle aren't nearly as perfect as yours. You've worked alot for the perfect body. I simply need to ask... How can you make something that's something that is already perfect better? 5.) Spontaneous, unexpected and surprising. You keep me on my feet, keep me entertained and make me enjoy every second with you. Who knows what I am to expect?! 6.) Once upon a time, there lived to fluffy bunnies, they decided to leave their little hole and go out on an adventure. A wolf came along and bit of the rabbits head and it bled to death Its so dark, and it leaves you wondering what to think. I love your dark side. It both terrifies and intrigues me 7.) You're so intellectual. I love some of the things you say and more importantly write! You have an amazing capacity for knowledge and wisdom and you use it well. It baffles me, some of the connections you make in your essays and assignments 8.) My love you illustrate a maturity that surpasses your years. Pertaining to your ability to be responsible and reliable if and when - not that I ever am - clearly am not able to be. I think you're the one looking after me. I'm the older one, who just happens to have an 8yr old inside them~ 9.) You smell amazing, but no. Seriously, you are in every way, shape or form. The most amazing, star studded, picture perfect, superbly sensational girl. I could ever have met. Yes, let the alliteration flow 10.) Because you're you, and you are mine

Puissant piquant and predatory And observant from afar He looks down on your slumber Like a door that's left ajar Plying with his manly vice A reckless male visage A rogue of masculine device Seeks entrance to your mind He saunters with a swagger A macho savvy moxie To personify virility's incarnate His dream zone's metier He sifts your ****** entourage In search of sprawls recumbence To tantalize climactic fervor With lambent photic scenes Grasping at your revelries He spies the wanton lust With swanky strut appealing Your primal urge to sate He leaves undone resistance With innate resilience seized The lavish wayward implications Of unrequited livid deeds Like passion's lurid lecheries An insatiable torrid sooth You wrestle with his adamance Your  carnal ecstasies revealed You pounce on his exsertion You splay your agile form wriggling like a supple nymph You accept his blatant storm You writhe in your abandon In a euphoric supplication His machismo ****** enveloping Your wildest latent needs With no regrets or reticence you awaken from this dream To find yourself alone again Like it had never been

Anxiety is not a feeling As some of you may believe You wouldn't be alone Because plenty of people place it in the same category as Sad, angry, elated But one of these things is not like the others. You see, anxiety is everything and nothing All at the same time. Anxiety is when no matter how spacious the room is It seems to be getting smaller Until you can see every intricate detail on every wall Each corner touches your skin And flattens your chest As it rises and falls Your breath is getting short until it stops And then you become as functional as a corpse After all, isn't that what you are? Anxiety is When your love stands over top of you Watching your diaphragm as it rapidly pulsates Wishing he could hold your hands as they sweat profusely Wanting to breathe life into your convulsing body But instead, he cannot even grasp the concept Of why you are not alright. Anxiety is Accepting that your reality is not truly real at all And deciding to realize that people wish they could fix you But understanding that they don't know what to do And you don't either. Anxiety is Learning from all the You're blowing things out of proportion's And You put to much pressure on yourself's When you begin to have these panic attacks In which you feel like death in imminent Over trivial things. Anxiety is Being with people who love you And still getting bursts of loneliness That ignite and explode inside your pores and underneath your skin The blood flowing silently through your veins reminds you That you are all alone. Anxiety is Relating each and every thing you do To how you are not adequate And how you must take charge of everything. It influences the things that tell you "Make yourself throw up" And "Skip that meal today." Most times, you shoe it away with every particle of strength that you have Other times, you are not so lucky. Anxiety is hard to personify But it is. And as I muster up the courage in my soul And the hope in my being I realize that those things need not be stored Because I use them every day as I fight this battle. We are all waging wars Mine just happens to be against This thing that is so intricately woven into the chemistry of who I am. It is a part of me But it is not all of me And my voice is louder than this sickness.

As you lay next to me I can’t help but think of you. You lay sleeping, and I close my eyes and envision you taking me. To the place that only the weight of your body on mine can bring. Your hands moving across mine, light as feathers Your breath on my neck, slowly become more rapid. The look of love in your eyes, A look you couldn’t hide with all the will power of your being. I want to spin with you, lose control, devour the moment. I crave to make you writhe, twitch, grasp the sheets, To arc your head back and gasp for air. Have you lose all barriers and be truly free. As you lay sleeping, I envision reckless motion Feelings words can not personify. Anytime I look in the mirror I see the reality of myself A reality once only could manifest, yet now is actuality. My own image brings up feelings of imperfection, A figure that I am not comfortable with, Self-esteem that I can not seem to find with out you. You are my world, my sun, my universe. My every thought orbits around you My mind races at the thought of you Despite all the time that has elapsed I long for you, I beg of you to wake up To say balderdash to rest, REM, and energy And expel it all unto me. I want you to take all that I am; consume me. Fore when we connect I am completed As you lay sleeping, you toss and turn Growing ever closer too me Were your eyes open I could tell you Tell you to take me in any way imaginable. Not out of primeval hormones, But for a cluster of fireworks in a darkened sky. A lustrous swaying of beings that few experience in a lifetime, But with you it is constant, predictable in a joyous sense. I am broken, though the patches I’ve created hold to me well, My mind can not help but regress to old patterns and vices. At times I wonder if the feeling is mutual If when we intertwine my experience is the same as yours. Are there fireworks, or just the "great value" ****** any girl could give you. Your love is undeniable, however, your anatomy has a satisfaction guaranteed Though still I wonder about the fireworks When your inside me do you feel flesh or do you feel alive - the most alive you’ve ever felt. Does your mind forget, just for that moment, that anything else in the world exists Just for that moment, are their fireworks? Because my world changes in those heated moments It is the only time I feel beautiful. I worry that because I have changed I can not satisfy you.   Your former mates eclipse me, You’ve been with those who are beautiful by textbook standards. You’ve been intertwined with those who I feel I do not compare. I want to make you feel the way you make me feel I don’t want you to just *** I want you to have an ****** To feel that explosion of love and satisfaction. I want to know that the fireworks are not duds. Because, I would do anything to make you feel beautiful.

The broken glass lies on the floor in front of me. It has shattered into many pieces, just as my spirit has done so many times before.   I have struggled for a long time to find my place in this world, but, one thing I have never questioned, is my identity. Beneath the surface, God has bestowed upon me the greatest beauty of all – my heart. Not in its physical form, but, in its spiritual one, is what defines my identity.   Simply known as character, it is how one is seen leading their life, each and every day.   With pride, my identity can shine onto others, as an example of how a heart can be so loving, so caring, so understanding, so compassionate, so kind.   All of these traits are what comprise my identity. Forever, I will personify these traits, like one who proudly wears a badge of courage; a badge to show that I have weathered the toughest of battles, and have come out stronger than ever .   Along the way, with each challenge presented, not once has my identity faltered.   As I pick up the pieces of the broken glass, I place them all together on the surface in front of me.   The cracked glass outline reminds me of my many failures; however, I look past the fissures that are apparent on the surface, and see my identity staring back at me.   It is complete, and reflective, not fragmented and dull.   Even though certain facets of my life remain unclear to me now, my identity is something that I am most certain of. With pride, I carry it with me every day; with honor, I display it courageously.   Vicki A. Zinn March 12, 2013

i once dated a boy who found it "adorable" that i know how to change my headlights      fill my radiator      change the oil      and notice every stopsign as i'm halfway through it he dumped me via text before that there was a boy who loved my lack of first person capitalization      my over-use of metaphores and similies      the way i personify the night      and practice preforming poetry in the shower he took off into the sunset with my journal in his shoulder-sack and somewhere in between i stopped asking myself what it means threw up my hands      and learned to enjoy the ride

there's that buddy holly song with the rollercoaster...
Spectacular view of the stars and their constellation, Conveying astral messages to the mankind. Astounding vision of the moon amidst darkness, Giving a ray of hope for those who are in the dark, Telling them to spread the light of wisdom, Personify the beauty of the universe.

The Lambent Universe
It has found me again ! Here it is right in front of me, Smiling ironicly at me, Snuggling up to me and won’t let go ! Telling me how much he missed me How much he missed my mood and my attitude. My longtime friend ! I don’t even know if I should objectify « It » or personify « him » I though we will never see each other again I though I won’t have to deal with him again People often say you can’t control things that are out of your reach You don’t have any power on certain things I have defeated him once. Am I able to do it again this time ? Am I weak or am I just giving up ? Letting him invade me ! Invade my space, my privacy, my inner peace and my mood ! Do I have the strength to be in a perpetual figth with It ! I want to chase him for good Get him out of my mind and out of my soul Bury him deep in a place unknown, Where the lost souls wander around and never return Somewhere he cant never escape from Go away ****** Depression ! Go bother someone else in some place else ! I have let down my guards for a while But that does not mean the old me has return I am stronger than you think I have come to tolerate my old self ! Forgiving her and accepting her mistakes When it comes to you, there is no room for forgiveness and pity I have come to thrive all of my old demons ! You will not be the exception ! You will not be the black sheep ! You really love to see me suffer and shut myself out from what is around Those days are long gone and you will be the very next Goodbye Depression, I really did not and will never miss you.

Personification
they say god is perfect. that holds true for me, too. no concept contains me in totality. Stirner wrestled with the undefinable: an indefatigable Unique, anarchic, lacking category. Camus perhaps said it best, "i rebel, therefore i exist." i strive to personify resistance. i find the answers in harmony with Counterparts, defining *The Difference Between Hell and Home*: "i am what i am and i am an outcast." an outlaw, a nobody akin to Nietzsche, returning infinitely— stretched like so many grains of sand on time's flat surface, orbiting eternally around the creative Nothing at half-past 3:00 in the morning. a singularity, deconstructing Derrida's Différance. a nomad on the margins, wandering aimlessly, roaming perpetually with Deleuze and Foucault, an astronaut arranged along the endless frontiers of an ever-expanding cosmos. Vonnegut recognized the periphery affords a radical view to the few who choose to embrace that which cannot be Known. a zero-sum game between Death and me, staving off manic-depressive ennui if only momentarily.

i could spend my life in utter awkwardness watching my brothers smoke and my sisters cry aunties smiling and prolonging straightforwardness my ***** cousins won’t ever say hi i could spend my life sitting at the corner writing poems about these drap people who refuse to stay in their homes the kids would play hide and seek the mannequins with heads up until it’s too awkward to not speak skinny waists, blackened eyes, and porcelain faces daru desi banging loud; turning us deaf high heels; no flats no laces horrible is the food beautifully prepared by the chef (who, by the way, thinks we're unbelievably uncivilised) i see them drenched in forgettum juice they’re deep in drunken oblivion, you see it’s incredible - when they say ‘let loose’ ’cause their eyes pry when you let yourself free the ladies enjoy their liberation; those poor oppressed dearies no more doting on their husbands in juxtaposed veneration they give a grave attempt to personify their reveries the men enjoy pelvic thrusting they’re sly crooks who love lusting i guess i’ll be alright; for a mere few minutes, if i’m out of sight

absurd roots
that's it again the artistry of the curling hell the mark of what was destroyed and for some reason used as a metaphor for life I look in the mirror and I see long, lean, noble like a greek god, or goddess, someone gender ambiguous with hair framing my face and jawlines ever reaching up my body is beautiful and I shouldn't destroy it I celebrate myself, and sing myself, like whitman, there is this strange dark attraction to standing somewhere leaning against the wall with my hood up as I watch the stars become clouded and that warm friendly scent fills my clothes where no one wants to go it's like a forest, a forest of embraces and thistles something tragic and suave and slenderly beautiful the workers in the yard light up daily just like my sister when she's hanging out always happy or my grandfather on his patio with the parrot on his shoulder. he lets her drink coffee sometimes, and lets me drink in the air of his breath mingled with ash always. I am the rolled tobacco, just ready to be lit, inhaled, and blown away flammable, quick to go, filtered, my body a slim cylinder, the heat at the end catching the eye of children I want to be united with that which I personify, unhealthy, but **** cool looking. It wouldn't surprise anyone- where there's smoke, there's fire, they say; maybe that's why I've always wanted a cigarette.

You confuse karate with love. You punch, kick, and block. You master the form, Practice and practice. You remember the creed. Karate is not love. You don’t kickstart the heart, You can’t block love out, Or punch it into submission. I confuse love with poetry. I read, write, and dream. I master the edict of the pen, Recite and recite. I remember the sonnets. Poetry is not love. You don’t stanza the heart, You can’t make a metaphor out of love, Or personify it into breathing. When will we learn? When will you stop kicking Cupid? When will I stop serenading him? When will we stop this silly interpretation of love? I don’t know, But I’ll stop if you stop too.

Love
As the sparkling stars in the sky, Your the shining light of my eye. As the golden dew on the grass, Your the prettiest flower in my heart. As the lonesome moon that dwells the night, Your the single light that glorifies my might. For you are in me, for the days I were in you; And now as you are, indeed my everything. The smile behind my tears, The laugh behind my cheers. How could I personify words to match your love, For amma, no one on earth is as lovely as you. - Silence

Susi sees angels here and there magical creatures are everywhere I canny see them, I try and look twice I kind of regret it, it must be nice but I think Why should I personify my sense of wonder, sense of wonder I laugh beneath the starlit sky with my sense of wonder sense of wonder Ewan sees reason in everything knows you can measure pieces of string and he is my brother I love and respect and proof of the other we've never found yet but I think Why should I categorize my sense of wonder sense of wonder I laugh beneath the starlit skies with my sense of wonder sense of wonder And I salute you, one and all who've seen the light, who've heard the call I'll not dispute what you have seen I'm just not certain what you mean Susi's a human, as sweet as can be and magic or not she's amazing to me and whether we're born here blessed or alone I hope that her angels will see her home but still think Why should I personify my sense of wonder sense of wonder I laugh beneath the starlit sky with my sense of wonder sense of wonder sense of wonder

Sense of Wonder (lyric)
It is out of habit for a poet to personify the oceans.  Write about how the waves kisses the shore each time the moon tried to pull it away; and then remind yourself how when hot meets cold, they're disaster-bound. Playing pretend was a habit of yours. After all, it was a form of survival- where you get the change in your pockets. You were fascinated by how the conch seemed to speak in waves no matter how far away you were from the ocean, as if it never depended its beauty in the place it finds itself. Its emptiness allowed itself to echo its surroundings. And if you'd uncover what was buried, you'd think it be a chest- an empty one that will finally be tipped full. When you mimicked the sound of the ocean, it couldn't lull me to sleep. It kept me awake every night for fear that I'd drown; see, your promises came like waves, with nothing in between. You gave your words away like the weight you had been carrying in you; and I almost thought you had spat your heart out in the process of cleaning your guts. There is so many things you poured out, and I guess I managed to save some- sorrow. When it stopped, you spoke in hushed tones and it sounded like canon shots in a distance. They say you are a product of your surroundings and you are filling yourself with everything you can find laying around, stacked so precariously high like a game of Jenga- the thrill was in watching it topple and fall. These pieces never belonged to you and you still have nothing to give when you are growing close resemblance to a shrapnel shell. When you are at war with yourself, there is no refuge: dig a foxhole until it blows over and that'd be your grave. How do you hide from yourself? Scream when you listen to the conch again- it's the sound of war. Break your habits before they break you; times like this, I wish you were an empty shell.

I understand why we personify Life, We live; But why personify Death, We die. Attributing Pride to Death Is senseless; It's the last thing on the island.

Personification
There are only so many poems to write about heartbreak only so many ways to say "I love you and I hate you" Only so many ways to personify the Night and hold her accountable for the thoughts she shoves down one's throat, fear-dripping and cold There are only so many ways to reach out in metaphors desperately grabbing at any emotions their words might stir There are only so many poems to write about being a stupid kid with a mixed-up head and a heaving heart with a cynical mind and a disappointed shout and only so many ways to cry it out Only so many half-smoked cigarettes and sweet perfumes Only so much room for oxygen tanks and desperate goodbyes It's getting crowded here with heavy clothes and defeatist tones But there are so many of these murky nights and only so many ways to get by

I love you. Three words no wider than four letters long That carry the whole weight of the universe. Words we utter to each other so often, Bystanders would consider them disingenuous. But, baby, I mean every syllable. When I look into your eyes, When I watch you watching me, My breath catches And my heart feels oversized. I try so hard to personify my love for you In kisses, hugs, tugs, and strokes, But kisses and hugs are created by candy makers And tugs and strokes are done by artists. Both of which, I most certainly am not. However, I strive to convey my feelings for you, Because I am sure of few things but this: I am madly, Ferociously, Unbelievably, Relentlessly, Incandescently, Everlastingly In love with you. I love you with a love that has never been given From any other woman to a man. I love you with an immortal love That is once-in-a-lifetime And can never be repeated. Our love is holy, Unconditional. I. LOVE. YOU.

I. LOVE. YOU.
I can see the man in the moon tonight I could never see a face in the craters before I just simply thought it was something people invented In an attempt to personify what we don’t have a connection to A giant face in the sky is more comforting on a cold night More comforting then a reflective rock Maybe I was right and so there isn’t really a face Maybe I just need to see that face tonight That face to tell me goodnight and that I can try again tomorrow My room’s vacancy pools into a dense silence Like an estate open house or thrift store: Evidence of people once being here Without those people still being there A small lamp braves the dark of my room Daring to edge its toes into the dark water around I tell it to just jump on in The water’s nicer once you adjust to it My hands ***** out into my empty bed sheets There is a silver lining in here somewhere, there must me Maybe it’s just too dark for me to see it I guess I’ll wait until the morning

The Moon's Silver Lining
Blue ink was no friend Blue ink was the most boring plan For the trees and hills Suzy ran When Mama came with a stick in her hand For months and years Suzy despaired This forced acquaintance she wished to be spared This Hulk of a character Mama'd personify This waste of time, she knew not why I just wanna be free, Suzy lamented An uproarious laughter, with which she was greeted Why do you act all so tormented, said this voice Without blue ink, you will be mistreated How do you carve a path of your own How do you enforce a right you wouldn't have known How do you right a wrong you don't condone How do you condone life when left alone To the books and pages Suzy ran Devouring much material in the given span In a solid colour, she saw a world of wonder In its simple strokes, there was no more to be coaxed In happiness and despair, Suzy was elevated In health and sickness, she knew to be liberated In company and solitude, Suzy was educated In wealth and poverty, she knew she had profited Blue ink had granted her the highest of privileges For to live well, is to live with choice A coveted privilege, with which we rejoice

Suzy and her blue ink
Every maiden should severe their wrist to taste the blood of supremacy that obscure by the darkened green of connecting veins like a circled labyrinth that blended with lies— and hiding the things that they should know. The reason why they are still living with fear; fear of touching the grayish blade of the sword fear of seeing Hades or the gloomy underworld fear of wearing metallic suit from head to toe fear of showing braveness and fight like a girl. Are they afraid to die and meet the hell? the hell— what's the comparison and contrast of their living world from the underworld? I, Athene, the Goddess of Intelligence can able to answer it with my ruthless words; nothing—there's no difference between the two due of their world that filled with darkness too. So you, mortal, listen to the words of wisdom it's not bad to taste the red liquid of the art in your personify that pumped by your heart telling you to craft it into phrases in your skin so that you'll know the importance of the pain. Stand up, use your voice and rule your city girls are not just girls, would you believe me? if you don't trust me then learn how I fight for a resplendent city that named after me feminism is not a bad thing, young lady— it's your voice to have freedom and equality. I''ll end this message with a simple question would you mind to stick with my footmark or you'll just go and follow the wrong path?

Message From Athena
the butterflies in my stomach still haven’t died as the seasons changed from the first time I realized we were home until now. I can still feel the fluttering below my ribcage; I can see the frost on my tongue. I never meant to **** the nature in you by filling your veins with what I breathe out, I never meant to personify the coldness of winter like this

frostbite
A feather has been placed on the breast of Mother Nature only to be blown away by the winds she created, crafted out of good intentions and placed onto the wings of irreplaceable mystic holding super powered beings that claim the ability which mere mortals only dream to obtain. Spreading for all to see, each climate of generously sparing and over populated monstrosities unable to be reached by force in calves and thighs, these which i object to call by given proper letters haunt me in conventional senses. Ugly, foul, wretched, I personify my adjectives as ammunition for these paper dwelling drawings that seem so fascinating to common folk. Fly my mother told me, fly.

A Day In The Life
Behind the eyes staring? waking? what arises? I can't see back there! I have a blind spot It is easy to see once removed, the eyes will turn around peer back into the sockets there it is. what what is it really? a creature? a stain? How to personify sadness Alone, but not lonely? Lonely, but not alone? Lonely and Alone? the connotations, the denotations words our expression, yet our captor confining us to our expressions tangled up in the clichés, the expressions, the common, the banal how to escape
