and when she smiled
the sun cried.

and when she walks
the angels talk.

and I wish I could see her soon
at night we could watch the stars and paint the moon.

and I pray that someone will love her
like she deserves one day.

She's amazing in every way
I love her more with each word I say.

It was the closest thing to love
I ever knew.
It's funny how this tiny
feeling grew.
I said I had felt it all
I had not, it was not true.
What we had was something new
warmth you gave,
soul kisses you blew
so, no matter who I'm with
I'll forever love and thank you!

Holy Water
ZL Dec 2014
I had my first sip of liquor in the womb
now they tell me I drink too soon.

coffee for breakfast, ***** at noon
I drown out my pain, swim to my tomb.

genie in a bottle
reality I swallow.

Afterall, Jesus turned water into wine
so have mercy on my sorrow, lecture me some other time.

Heaven seems so far away
as I die, yet another day.

Love is like a beautiful lie told
big and bold!

the only warmth is my anger
the rest of me is cold.

Heaven may be closer than I believe
maybe I'll write this letter on deaths eve.

Either way,
Heaven seems so far away.

I use to be his baby
now he has a baby.

I use to be his lady
now he has a lady.

He use to call me baby,
when I was his lady.

now he has a new set
and I'm just a single ex.

he didn't treat me the best
it's hard not be bitter, when he's blessed.

the eyes tell the story,
that nobody wants to tell.

smiles lie,
the truth they hide well.

the eyes never go empty,
there is no dry spell.

smiles never pass tests,
they always fail.

Loving you is wrong
So I won't tell you I do
But I will sing
You this love song.

Loving you
Would make my life better
But I can't do it,
So I'll cry you this wet letter.

Loving you
Is not right,
So I will love you through each poem
I desperately write.

Love can only exists in those
whose hearts have space.

Circle of life
ZL Dec 2014
Life is that crazy girlfriend
who you'll never trust
She's never satisfied,
and you're not always up for a rush.

Life is that insecure boyfriend
who wants you to stay by his side to the very end
but you've got places to see
he doesn't understand where you've been.

Life is a that mother,
who'll you always want to please
only to realize you have to be you
and meet your own needs.

Life is that dad, that many of us never had
confused emotions, happy and sad
life was a female dog, cute
but deadly when mad.

My heart was so vain
it fell for beauty despite disdaine
it fell for faces, it needed no names.

My heart was so ill
addicted to pleasures
lust was its favorite feel.

My heart is now in danger
last seen with
dark pretty strangers.

I have a blue rose tattoo on my breast
one day, I hope your head lay here on my chest
it will give me joy, it will give you rest.

when you are weary and on the run
it will be there for you night and day
like the moon or the sun.

it will be there to wipe the tears
to comfort you over your deepest fears
it will be here sweetheart, wherever you go...

My heart, our love, this ink, your head, this pillow.

Every night I dream of pleasing you
in different ways.

Fantasizing of freaking you
dust till dawn, many days.

I'm not addicted
but your body, I badly crave.

Butterflies enter my heart
with the slightest gaze.

you spoke, I smiled
I fell in love with the sweetest hey.

This is not a hot new trend
of what’s cool or what’s in.

This a lovers story darling,
and you are the fairytale that I wish would never end.

Victims
ZL Dec 2014
All pretty girls fall victim
to beautiful lies
from handsome men
who make them cry.
I always wonder why...
they steal the sparke in her eye
they **** her hopes, her dreams die
she used to laugh, now she sighs
she's still breathtaking
but now her heart is aching
her love, the thieves have finally taking.

the more time I spend alone
the more guys seems wrong.

the longer I am single
the less I want to mingle.

the more they degrade women
the more I despise men.

I wait for healing above
to warm my heart, thaw out my love

my friends tell me I need ***
other tell me I need help.

but I say to them,
I love myself!!

I only wish to remember you
as I've painted you in my head
brown body streched across my bed
perfect face, electric smile
I knock over the hour glass
this may take a while.

I only wish to love you
in every way you desire
to be the flame to your fire
to energize you, I never tire
to bind together our dark bodies
with my sticky caramel showers.

you tell me not to fight the feeling
but you're sick and kind of contagious
my health you're killing.

you are no Angel of mine
so, I can't love you right now
nope, not during this time.

My God does not approve
you are the sin my heart will never choose
this will always be the right move.

my poker face is quite tight
but it can't hold me close at night.

my values and ethics are quite strong
but girls liking boys isn't wrong

my worth as a woman isn't in ***
but sometimes my feminism needs a rest

I usually pass every test
but the flesh is weak, even at best

in a lonely bed, my mind's racing
orchestrating the acts of sweet TEMPTATION.

and I'm chosen.

when I need them most.

This is why I'm guarded

My lovers were never lovers at all
because lovers are there to catch those they love
when they fall.

be careful what you allow your eyes to see,

you may not never be the same.

be careful what your actions do,

your behavoir becomes your name.

be careful of the path you take,

to attain riches and fame.

And don't get too caught up in winning,

because we all lose at this LIFE game!
