Made to Love
ZL Jul 2014
Any romantic will tell you,
humans were made to love.*

For many years through dark eyes,
I seen the light of love.

Sweet nothings whispered in my ears,
I was told the secrets of love.

I inhaled and smelled
the sweetness of love.

We kissed and I savored
the flavor of love.

Only my heart could not feel.
So, I was unable to love.

Sorry for my limited love
ZL Jul 2014
Some days I feel so close
you feel like my skin.
Some days I feel so far
our distance will never end.

hugs, kisses, & kind words
don't reach your heart within.
I still try, aiming high despite
failing and missing over & again.

I apologize to my lovers & kin
sorry for now and back when,
I couldn't love you like I desired
because of this human sin.

A love story
ZL Jul 2014
You saw me first.

I was flattered to know,
I had an admirer.

I was told, "you thought I was warm like sunshine"
I knew then I wanted you as mine.

My walk changed,
my smile opened,
and I wore a little more perfume.

Then on day 1, I lite up
after seeing you in the classroom.
ZL Jul 2014
Nothing but love
is stronger than desire.

love gets you high
desire takes you higher!

love is warm, snug, and cozy
desire burns like *** on fire!

In the end
only one will win.

love is forever the pretty truth
and desire will always be a beautiful liar.

I became cold
stress aged me quickly
I didn't want to be old.

I became cold
promises turned to lies
truths were no longer told.

I became cold
which you mistook as shyness
my anger was too bold.

I became cold
because carrying the weight of the world
proved to be too heavy of a load!

I'm leaving baby
ZL Jun 2014
a one night stand laced with pain and passion
I was bore
drugs have stunted my growth once before.

when I feel down.
I desire a high.
Dreams say hello.
Reality says goodbye.

My addiction grew and grew
Until I reached you.
A figment of my imagination
A relief I never really knew.

drugs have stunted my growth once before
but I want to live now
and **** myself no more.

Her too
ZL Jun 2014
Somewhere through the absence of positive role models,
love, support, guidance, and dependency
between thirteen schools, ten different homes,
different faces and many places
She lost her way.

But, she found they.
She lost her trust in the world
At the very moment she exploded
Into many different girls
One specialized for every situation
In which she, young & alone, was bravely facing.

Blame Puberty
ZL Jun 2014
As a child, I had it figured it out.
Until lust grew within me
Sin gave birth and *** came about.

Like a girl coming on her first menstuation,
blood on white sheets.
Or a boy having his first *******,
White fluid cream on dark sheets.

As an adult, I became impure.
Now, I know nothing.
Now, I am no longer sure.

Bad for my health
Worse for my recovery
I beg you, never let go of me.

The hold of black smoke
Smothers me. I choke
Release me. Heart trapped.

I promise not to relapse.

With your cool sunglasses
And skinny pales *****
You sit behind the shade
Sour faces great for lemonade
And judge us all!

I fake drown to see your reaction
Off your high horse you fall
To my satisfaction, you're not a hero
And, to think people look up to you?
You're not even that tall!!

Drugs impair us

Lowly death

Body takes it there

And for once in forever
Forget to care.

ZL Jun 2014
Only if love was limitless
Would I cross it's borders
Blurred lines of bliss
Chasing unicorns and rainbows
To taste your kiss.

In reality, it's you I miss
Instead I am a prisoner of fantasy
Enslaved to a restricted affair
If I escaped this world, would you still care?

In the next lifetime will you follow?
Could you want me there?
Because if it was up to me,
I'd Have you Any time. Any place. Anywhere.

ZL Jun 2014
One day I walked the long way home.

In the chill of October, all alone.
Tears had cooled, wind had blown.

Still, she knew something was wrong.
She asked, I answered. My hurt was known.

I saw his mugshot today, his soul was gone.

I look at my photos,
sometimes I see his face.

I close my eyes in fear,
Hoping to go to safer place.

There's no escaping those devilish eyes.
I've inherited this monster; soul ties.
ZL Jun 2014
No longer the drugs,
Or the boys.
Still however: lust & thrills of joy.

I have a new addiction.

One many can't see.
How do I rid this habit,
When it is me?

I am forever on the run...

After who I want to be...

One day I looked in the mirror
And began to cry.

Not because I was ugly,
Neither because I was beautiful.

But, I seen a little girl
With the prettiest eyes
And the saddest smile.

Somewhere through her Hell
She managed to grow into me
Next to Heaven, it was the most amazing sight to see.

I break hearts by default.

I seek them. I find them. Devour them.

Then spit them out on paper.

I wipe my mouth, and roam cupids landing for more inspiration.

I'm forever this villain.

Accusations, I'm always facing.

The Heat
ZL Jun 2014
I wonder is love
this volcanic eruption
of sensation in my lungs?
Butterflies falling to the pits
flying opposite of alive
drowning in my lava
so pretty when they die.

A passionate flame is born
sweeping them under like a raging storm
fire burning throughout my skin
sending ecstasy and shock waves within
if this is love, sweet God in Heaven
where has it been?

Mud baby
ZL Jun 2014
from dirt I come
whipped and cracked from the sun
rain flows and heals my wounds
when my fruit grows
I'll forget my troubles soon
still I love, still I rise,
giving blessings
to the the grass
I dry my own tears
and hide in my own fears.

nature is my mother
the moon is my brother
my father inhabits the sky
and he takes pleasure
in his little flower
that is me...
a brown rosebud
a baby from nothing
more than mud.

Bad for your health
ZL Jun 2014
I only wish to hug you
Like lips **** a cigarette
And inhale your scent
You’re the fire I desire
I need badly to be lite.

I want to smoke you
Until my lungs ache
Until my chest caves in
With toxins and sin
drugs **** me,
but gets me high
Loving a bad boy
Is my cancer
With him I live
For him I’ll die.

I have so much to offer
inside of this prison
called a soul
how to get it out
is the mystery
I pry to know.

My angels
and demons
pull and strech
this skin,
their best efforts
to free me from within.

Sadly, the never win
they always lose
I choose to be free
but the power is not mine
it has never belonged to me.

Feel like a beautiful dove.

Only to have it fly away
With some handsome eagle
Until another day.

Oh, observant owl
Never let another
Pigeon eat up your wise old smile.

You kissed me
and I caught a virus
called lust.
You ran through my
Fever aching head
causing a seizure
I awoke and you were dead.

I coughed up dust
and your power disappeared,
I panicked, I feared.
It was over, I knew.
I sneezed
and out
blew you.

The last supper
family, friends,
maybe lovers
gathered around
to pay last dues.

I watch from the corner
a smile on my face
nod my head
I miss you all too
but I am silent.

I am still,
I anxiously wait
as they pass around
my organs on a hefty platter
a genuis of a plate.

Finally able to pick my brain,
to feed my
hunger games,
and quench my
thirsty pains.

Life was hatred,
death was love
A mystery it truly was!
I sit with father
full with gladness
& glory from high above.

is it bad

to stay with me

is it bad

with the blood
I bleed?

is it bad

my lover asked a favor
I refused, his agony I savor

mouth drenched in gold
breathe ice cold

lips as gatekeepers
passion they hold

the power of a kiss
is a secret untold

never ask for what you want
Take it. Be bold!

Ugly Angels & Handsome devils
ZL Jun 2014
I have missed
out on the thrills
of being a soft place
between a rock
and a hard place
which is a bad boy

I was afraid
of becoming a toy
a welcome mat,
stepped on repeatedly
covered in dirt
and worthlessness

because of fear
I found myself
held hostage to boring love
with good guys
who in the end
only proved
to be ugly lies

which led
to my beautiful cries
in the end,
I should have taken my chances
with the handsome devils
who were at least good at dancing!
Never would have believed good guys could break hearts. Guess they were never good from the very start.

a good tear
is never wasted

it runs like a river
into a beaches ocean
where salty flavor is tasted.

a good tear
is never wasted

it drops to the ground
into a puddle of rain
brave reflections face it.

a good tear
is never wasted

it simply matures and moves on
making room for the other emotions
which have yet beautifully grown.
though they disappear
may their memories
forever be known!

Recharge: A boy's toy
ZL Jun 2014
he used me everyday
his favorite electric soul
power he did know
distance I did go...
abuse always did follow

one day he found me
drained, rusted,
& out of juice
our magnetic force
had finally come loose

he cried frantically
desperately fixing me up
with man made tools
It was simply to late
a dead lover was his fate

lucky he
able to revive me
with little life left
I vibrated with long pauses
I had to return with proper causes

told my boy, I'm no toy
now kiss my achy breaky heart
only then will I begin again,
only then will our love restart!
