Sunset
Zephyr Aug 2013
As the sun kneels down
its end coming

with a final breath
overwhelming beauty is expelled

before it dies for the night.

Mustard water
Zephyr Jul 2013
I drank
two cups
of mustard water
today

they say
that it will
make me
throw up.

It didn't work.
**** it! I really don't want to do the finger thing

Idk
Zephyr Jul 2013
Idk
So I thought of you for the first time in, like, all summer.
I just so totally amazes me that I used to not be able to pass a day without thinking about, not you, but us.

Now I hardly even think of you.
ha, I was so immature before.
Only, now you are the opposite.
You are now more immautre.

You lost, I won.

Loser
thoughts on an ex, haha.

A new I
Zephyr Jul 2013
I'm ready to be a new person
totally through to the core
but it's taking time,
and I want to be better now.
I hate being my disgusting self both inside and out - and I'm done with it. There's just so many bad habits to change, which takes time.
Jul 2013 · 360
the truth...
Zephyr Jul 2013
I don't care about a single word you say

I'm just good at pretending I do
...shouldn't hurt. You know I hate you. :)

Beach run
Zephyr Jul 2013
Drop me off at any beach
with any amount of sunlight

And I'll run the day away
I really like running on beaches :)

now I just need to find one....

"Slow" dance
Zephyr Jul 2013
As the first chord is played
we are already spinning

around and around.

no one else is here.


dreams guide our footsteps,
love keeps us twirling.
We will always take it slow
but our hearts are off to the races

(Count the note as part of the poem, so it could be one poem or two - you decide!)

Every day
Zephyr Jul 2013
I can't wait until I get home
because then I will get so many things done
...

I've been so tired lately even though I want to do a bunch of stuff. :)

Loser! :)
Zephyr Jul 2013
Yeah, I'm a loser, I know.

But I like it that way

cause that means I'm being me
My sister has dubbed me as Loser, so that's my official name at home for her :) She doesn't mean it seriously but it's fun.

Selene
Zephyr Jul 2013
To the top of all the world
To the tasteless underworld
To the center of your heart, oh Cleopatra is the only one you loved
To the demonstrated smile
To the lonely love child
Destination desolation, tell me when you reach the brink of life
Just a picture on your wall
That's nice, what a metaphoric fall
Typically, I was a validation on your sleeve
Oh what an indication
To the center of the pain
Through your tattered window pane
To the middle of your heart

Resolutions and lovers in the kitchen
Love is clueless and destiny is wishing
This is my heart, it's on the line, Selene

This is not what I expect, this is not what I expect
I can see it in your tears and now they're crowning me, the Caesar
Typically, I was a validation on your sleeve
Oh what an indication
To the center of the pain
Through your tattered window pane
To the middle of your heart

Resolutions and lovers in the kitchen
Love is clueless and destiny is wishing
This is my heart, it's on the line, Selene
Song by Imagine Dragons ~ Just cool lyrics, if you haven't heard of them, please listen to a few songs by Imagine Dragons, and hope you like them as much as I do!

Garh!
Zephyr Jul 2013
The night is at it's darkest
right at the point when it's not sure
if it's late night or early morning.

And I'm up and wanting to go somewhere
away from this boring place
where I am trapped at the night.

I never want to get up and do something during the "waking hours"
The sun is too hot, to forceful, I don't know...

The moon is cool, peaceful.
Inviting you to do something on your own.


But I'm stuck not just to a house, but to a single room.

I wish I could get out and do my own thing.



And I will......someday.....
I'm literally writing what I'm thinking exactly to myself here, haha. It's not poetry, just a record to myself so that when I have my own apartment and can just do whatever at midnight and not have to worry about waking people up, I'll know to fully appreciate it :)

Plan
Zephyr Jul 2013
Setting up a new schedule,
changing my lifestyle,
basically changing who I am
(in a way)

I hope this works.
Trying to lose a few pounds, it's going to be a bit harder than I originally thought, hope it works!

Waiting...............
Zephyr Jul 2013
I've been watching the cars go by for over an hour now
waiting for the one with you driving
rehearsing yet another excuse.
So annoying when people say they are going to be on time and then show up an hour late. Seriously?

Movin' on
Zephyr Jun 2013
Just because something ended badly
doesn't mean that there wasn't any good
in the foreplay.
When I used to let myself think of the past, it used to make me sad because it was gone and ended badly. But now I can take everything I learned and grow from it. It's the greatest feeling ever. :)
Zephyr Jun 2013
I walked through your home-town today.
If you knew this, I don't know if you would be angry.

(I do know that you would be annoyed I still say harbour, and not harbor
you would say once again, "You aren't in England anymore")

Even though you aren't in my life anymore,
you left me with a dream

that's so small
but so powerful.

I walked through your home-town today
and it is everything you said it was.

Just by the sights, the small town feel
I could smell the ocean air,
feel the breeze rushing through my hair
as I rode my bike on the winding Main Street.

Even though you aren't in my life anymore,
you left me with a dream

that's so small
but so powerful.

It was the dream to move away from my normal
to a small harbour town, and love their peacefully,
maybe as the town doctor...
but it doesn't matter how I get there.

Just as long as I do

New me
Zephyr Jun 2013
Something has happened in the last few days.
I can't quite describe all that it is, all that it means

Some resolve has gone,
but so much knowledge has been gained.

A knowing that,
what I have to say isn't as important
as what other's around me need to say.
And that I'm not meant to talk so much as

to simply listen.

So those that see me,
when I don't talk much,
and when I do, speak at a much lower volume than usual.

It's because


I have nothing to say
that's worth listening to.
I started this off trying to understand, but finished understanding what's going on with me :P It's not necessarily a poem for readers, it's more for myself if that's alright.

Sailing! (15w)

and I'll run freely on the waves
Sailing is my favorite thing to do. Period. :D

Darn books.... (10w)
Zephyr Jun 2013
Why must you sadden us
with a death that's non-existent?
Just finished reading the 6th book of the Harry Potter series, and yes, I knew Dumbledore was going to die but it's so sad, and these **** books are making me cry over deaths that never happen!

Kitchen Sink Blues

peeling carrots and potatoes at the sink
as she remembers a time when she was free.

Not a poem, just an update
Zephyr Jun 2013
Hey everyone, this is just a little update thingy, but thanks everyone who has been liking and following, it means a lot! I don't have a laptop over the summer so I'll hardly be posting but I'll be writing in a journal to upload some time later in the year! Thanks everyone soooo much! <3
Zephyr Jun 2013
This isn't my name
or at least not the name given to me.

But think about it...
our names aren't given,
they are forced.

This isn't who I was
or at least who I think I was.

But if I think about it...
I never liked who I was
so maybe this is a good thing.
Haha, this is fun!

Thoughts
Zephyr Jun 2013
I want to say everything I regretted...no, that I regret not saying.

So much that would've, or could've made everything better, or at least not where we are now.

Isolated.

But only because we aren't together as we should be.

Separated by a crowd and lost explanations.

Ben
One moment you are like any other person content with their life.
Laughing at my clumsiness
Smiling at the perfect day.

But then you turn back
into a morbid, dark boy.

Someone who has chosen to give up,
to forget every good thing in his life.

Why can't you just live in your happy self?
Please answer

Zephyr
Zephyr Jun 2013
Such a calming sensation
a breeze whispering over you
telling you that it's okay

You can let everything go
and it will drift off in a zephyr
as it whispers in the twilight
I just love the idea of put everything that a calm, soft breeze brings into one word.

Yay! I *think* I redeemed my name after all those angry and depressing poems.
What do you guys think? Do I need to keep trying?
Jun 2013 · 348
Where are you now?
Zephyr Jun 2013
I needed you there when I broke down
late in the night
you always know exactly what to say.

It's like you know what my heart needs to hear.
And you always fix everything.

Or at least you did.

I needed you there when I broke down
late in the night,
thinking about you.

And how you are gone forever.
Jun 2013 · 2.0k
Calm?
Zephyr Jun 2013
There is no calm after the storm.
Just silence on the outside

Anger, frustration, sadness inside.
And there ain't nothing you can say to fix it.

That's the "calm"
just eatin' you up on the inside
Jun 2013 · 567
Over
Zephyr Jun 2013
I'm not going to let you
harass me like this anymore.

You can kiss my *** goodbye
cause I'll see you again in hell.

Laughing because I sent you there.
This kid has been harassing me every ******* day at school, and I let him get to me even though he's a little twerp and boy, is he going to pay.

Oops, haven't quite been sticking to my name have I? Sorry!

Denial
Zephyr Jun 2013
I don't even know why
I'm punishing myself

because I'm never going to be like the rest.
I'm never going to be who I want to be.

I don't know why I'm letting myself be left behind
wishing I let myself go but trying to convince myself

it was
the right thing to do
(I know it wasn't)

I can live in denial though
I have and I will.
My whole grade is off on a fun trip to D.C. and I didn't go because I didn't feel confident enough to and because I tried to convince myself I could use the money on something much more rewarding then sharing in a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Melting away
Zephyr Jun 2013
Everything has died.

The want to save others,
the need to change myself.

I'll sit forever this way
reflecting on my mistakes
wishing i never made them
and knowing I'm deteriorating

not even caring.
One of those niiiights. I'm totally fine though. Totally.

Skeleton
Zephyr Jun 2013
Eventually, late at night
when no one is there to see
all that anger
my only defense system

it just melts away,
laying in a pool around me

forgotten

until i need to clean it up
and put it back on.

And all thats left is a skeleton
and a small,
insignificant
slowly beating heart
trying to hide in a fragile rib cage.
Jun 2013 · 824
Closing
Zephyr Jun 2013
I'll just let the webs

close my eyes again

as a slip into a deep sleep.
The spiders know when I'm up too late :P

Angel's God
Zephyr Jun 2013
She's an angel with no God
He decided to take a vacation
before searching for his angel.

She's been out there every second of every day
trying to find her God.

Little angel, calm.
God will find you,
when it's time, when everything will be perfect.
People will find each other in time, they just need to chill and live their life.

I need a punching bag
Zephyr Jun 2013
So I have anger issues,
at least I'm not punching through walls

(Although I'm training myself to do so, shhh, don't tell)
I don't want to tell any one that would actually do something of my problems.

They'll just start an interrogation
and that's the last thing I need
(I don't want to hurt them, they think they are helping)

So I guess I'll keep writing messed up poetry
that no one reads because it makes no sense.

And who wants to hear a demented person blab on?

As these muscles clench and unclench all day
trying so hard not to lash out at those I care about
(but why should I care? They don't care about me and they'll leave anyways)

A boxing class would be a great idea right now...
Rather hurt a huge bag of sand then destroy a school laptop.
Just exactly what I'm think atm, that's why it's messed up! Sorry for wasting your time writing useless stuff like this.

Another lost
Zephyr Jun 2013
I have an idea from another lost,
a bird that flew away before I could take a picture,
a spider that scurried away before it could be caught,
a pen that ran out of ink before I finished.

I have an idea from another lost,
a sentence interrupted,
a voice dried up,
a fish that lay choking on the sand.

Yet another thought maybe worth preserving
gone
vanished
dried out
interrupted
choked

gone

I have an idea from another lost
trying to make failure worth reading about.
Yes, the gone is put in twice on purpose! :)

Road trip!
Zephyr Jun 2013
"In the island in the sun, we'll be playing having fun"
Weezer blasts through the wind rushing through the open windows

It's been one of those days when I needed to let go of all these stresses,
so some friends, my second family, hopped into a van and rode away.

Nothing is better then knowing something exciting is going to happen,
only because it's better then what is speeding away behind you on the freeway

Writing Block
Zephyr Jun 2013
Beautiful pictures are weaved in my head,
so perfect, something that needs to be shared.

And thus I open HelloPoetry and try to write...
but it never comes out like I want it to,
I can't express anything in that perfect way,
it just comes out distorted and leaving behind disappointments.
I hate when this happens. Which is all the time.

People
Zephyr Jun 2013
Every friend comes as a great person,
we all have our quirks, but that's what makes us unique.

But then the longer I know them,
they start to develop the worst of qualities

Extreme annoyance,
Depression to the point of suicide,
Strangely mean for no reason.

Is it something I did?
Or were they always like that
And I just brought the bad out?

Maybe this is why I don't like people
As hard as I try to see the good,
there's always a ton of bad.

Nightmares have past
Zephyr Jun 2013
You lay beside me calmly through the night,
I love watching your beautiful face so peaceful.
But suddenly you start breathing heavily, loudly
Sweat starts to drip on the sheets and your face is tense.

I can do nothing but hold your hand as it grabs on mine for dear life.
I know these nightmares are from your past you claim to forget,
a time that scarred you for life, that tortures you in the twilight.

I hope someday you tell me of these dreams and your past
so we can have a full understanding and I can help you,
I need to help you past this so you don't have to agonize in the night.
Because I love you too much to sit by and do nothing
This started off as a poem about my cat who has breathing problems and just kind of evolved! Oops!
