Tenaj poems on Hello Poetry

Tenaj Lee Taylor Oct 2015

First day of school,
The day kids come back from a long summer break.
I didn't know anyone,
No one knew me.
New kid to the school,
Shy boy, that's what I am.
Sitting in class,
Avoiding eye contact and speech with everyone.
She then came with her friends,
Beautiful red hair,
Big brown eyes,
Snow white skin.
I wanted her to be mine.
She askes for my name,
I, lost in thought, didn't respond.
She askes again,
Surprised she was talking to me,
I respond quietly my name.
"Tenaj. Tenaj Taylor."
She compliments me on my clothing and my name.
Her friends talking to me,
Not responding to them,
Lost in the gaze of her eyes.
Words, compliments, stuck on the tip of my tounge.
Couldn't get them out.
Staring at her creepily.
She had me the first day.

Brightest Shine

As the sun sets,
Stars begin to sparkle.
Hidden away from the clouds and the light of the sun.
Stars of the millions,
Lighting the sky.

As if the sky were a house,
And the stars merely Christmas lights.
The sky illuminated with all of the stars.

But they soon disappear as a new day arises,
When the sun starts to rise out of its slumber.
To let us know that a new day has began.

But one star still shines bright.
Brighter than any one star.
Brighter than the sun....

That is her,
My one true love.
The princess I have longed for.

Who knows me like the back of her hand.
She is a star,
And I will protect her and let her shine forever.
She will shine atop of my Christmas tree.

She will be by my side,
As I rule my kingdom.
And we will live happily together,
Even after our story has been told.
