Invincible,
Yet I left a pool of blood.
Ruthless,
still my tears could flood.
Odd & different,
but I desire to relate.
Alive, but not of this world,
Is a difficult fate.
ZL May 2021
Sins of the father
We all become our mother.
Love and acceptance;
We seek in many lovers.
A thousand lifetimes,
Pain knows no number.
Rebirth is good,
But existing is boringly somber.
ZL Mar 2021
Skin buttery and sticky
I only wanted you to pick me
Hold me like a flower.
Feel me with laughter.
Bat those big brown eyes.

In these simple things...

I feel most alive.
ZL Apr 2021
Black or White.
Wrong or Right.
Dark or Light?

Beauty in both
But is there hope?

For us to undo the past?
If not, we won't last.

Actions have a headstart, but Karma is fast!
ZL May 2021
Half blind, I've seen life's darkest days.
Insecure in my direction, dreadful are my ways.
Broken, but still trying to feel.
If I die, I'll know what's real.
Hateful, trying my best at love.
Don't judge me....
I didn't ask for this stuff!
ZL May 2021
My mind is a vessel
That wants me dead.
It ****** me at day,
Rapes me at bed.
Unhinged thoughts,
Has numbed creativity.
Once so optimistic,
Now I doubt my abilities.
This head will bring my end.
A truth, I cannot pretend.
Heavy is the crown,
For a unfortunate man.
ZL May 2021
Leave me alone as I fade away.
I was only visiting, never wanted to stay.
Don't touch me as I grow cold and blue...
I know you cared, this part is true.
Life was a blur,
love was never there.
Allow me to die,
death is only fair.
ZL May 2021
Had I known our kiss would have been the last. I wouldn't have kissed you, just made you laugh.  Remember my sweetness and my charm. Feel the fire that once kept you warm. Cry from the eyes I would dreamingly gaze into.
Remember our beauty without blaming you.

I used to be so weak
Only strength I had was to lie and weep.
I cried alone, until the noises collectively made a song.
Melodic lullabies as if I were once a baby.
I never was though,
and that's so crazy.
ZL Mar 2022
Dark as night
Blindly you fight.
Bright as day,
light is in your way.
Fragile as glass,
tarnished as brass.
Colder than zero,
trying to be a hero.
ZL May 2021
So what if I'm not your speed.
It's you who I want and I know my needs.
Two the same kind;
You need patience with me;
Blame my mind.
I hope for this union, in time.
For you too see,
Since we met, you were mine.

up
why do I cry when I look at the sky?
knowing one day, I'll say goodbye
leaving all my hurt and all my worry
life is slow, but deaths a hurry
I only hope I did all I can
wishing God has mercy, he'll understand
apologies to women, sorry to man
at Heaven's gate, I'll proudly stand!
ZL Jan 2022
Nights reign supreme
As I obsess over your entire being.
Memories don't do any justice
As I recall sweet times between us.
Maybe it was real,
more than likely not....
I toss and turn burning hot,
waiting for the flashbacks
to finally stop. .
ZL Sep 2014
He makes me feel afraid
and protected at the same time.

He makes me feel belittled
and challenges my intellectual mind.

He is my old flame,
but I'd like him to be my new thang.

wait, what?

I'm drunk in love,
and not sure what I'm saying!
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.
ZL Apr 2014
I
Should not remember you
Respect for me
You forgot

I
Should not think of you
Meeting your selfish needs
Inconsiderate of my deeds

I
Should hate you…
My heart you broke
But with kindness
I shall **** you..

Slowly you choke
*Love is always better than Hate*
ZL Aug 2015
First, I fall in love with your smile.

Next, you will fall in love with me.

But, love me while you can.

Because I will always leave.
ZL Feb 2014
If I ever see you in the sky
Don’t be a stranger
And fly right by
If I ever see you on earth
Embrace me like a new born
To its mother after birth
If I ever see you in dreams...
I’ll scream with joy!
...For you my love...
I’ll sing!
ZL Jul 2014
It's not you,

it's me.

No, really it's my daddy,

whom I'll never see.

But seek anyways.

Long and painful, are my days.

Thanks for putting up,

with my little girl ways.

I must go now,

find love's destiny

in hopes I'll reach he

the ***** donor,

who wasn't man enough

to stick around for me.
ZL Nov 2014
I began to drink
no time later,
my heart began to think
dignity began to sink
let me tell you a secret that you already knew
I really, really, really want you
and this feeling is nothing new
trust me, drunkenness knows whats true
you like that? that's funny to you?
I bet the size of the ocean just grew...
ZL Sep 2014
I kissed him!
Stole his love from within.

A libras spell,
He turned pale.

His soul had left his body.
this wasn't good, I felt naughty.

I wanted to give him back his life, CPR maybe?
His struggle for air drove me crazy!

But a voice told me not to bother,
cuz this was the normal reaction for a fish out of water.
ZL Apr 2014
whatever you do
dare not to stare
they will take you places
do not be willing
to go there

they are tainted
they will ruin you
right from the start
cover your body
protect your heart

puppy dog eyes
bedroom glares
never fall captive
to scorpio or pisces
no matter who dares
ZL Jun 2014
seldoms rests

rarely is at peace.

my soul hardly ever sleeps.

But...

when it's quiet; I dream.

when it's noisey; I scream!
ZL May 2014
weekends are made of
passion,
pleasure,
and pain.

passion makes us do things
like fall in love with strangers
on a two day binge
doing unspeakable things
to one another
making our bodies cringe
moments of pleasure
we'll both soon forget
but living fast is fun
the best time spent!

Monday always forbids us
introducing the heartbreak game
you used my body
and I forgot your name

weekends are simply a fantasy
with their share of pain
"it was nice knowing you,
glad you came."
ZL Aug 2016
I told myself you were out of my lead
a favorite book I could not read
this was no want, but a serious need
forbidden fruit I wanted to nibble to the last seed.

You came over and took a seat
then you seduced me, you **** freak
we became a secret I could not keep
but I didn't say a word, not one peep.

I told you I loved you
you knew then I was weak
so you ignored me for an entire week
I gave you pleasure and you made me weep.
ZL Oct 2014
During the day I try to act as if it's not true

Night comes, my mind wanders, and it always finds you

My insides burn with passion, hot flashes of things we should do

be patient with my skills, this task is still new

but soon, my worries will become few

Once you fall in my arms, caught up in love *too
ZL May 2021
Your eyes told me tales
I promised not to tell.
You taught me to be good,
I learned to be well.
Your smile gave me life,
as I struggled to find meaning.
winter bones caught in fall,
You were my best season.
ZL May 2014
because I looked
for love in all the wrong places
I found you.

because I was decieved
by handsome faces
I saw you.

because he broke
my heart
in two,

with a smile
kind words
and hugs as glue,

you put me back together
but I'm forever clumsy
because I fell for you.
ZL Apr 2014
candles of fire and flare
balloons float high in the air
their way of showing me
they finally care

the end of the rainbow
my soul now knows
the end is like the ballon
I've seen where it goes

doves fly peacefully
protectively on my side
I lay asleep
Eyes wide

I dance and giggle
as people cry and wiggle
life was complicated
death was simple

violas laid on my grave
tombstone reads:
no longer a sinner
no longer satan's slave
ZL Apr 2014
Boy blue
I couldn’t love you.
I apologize,
See the dark
Sincerity in my eyes.

Red drowned my heart
You knew saving me
Would be dangerous
From the very start.

You took no caution
Refused to yield to yellow
Off on green you went
Bull headed fellow.

Don’t dwell on us
You always did think too much
Tell my memories to relax at night
Mistakes always did keep me up
ZL Dec 2015
I attach myself
to multiple hearts,

searching for my soul
through their many parts,

*** is a like completing that puzzle
only to realize, a piece was missing
from the very start.
ZL Sep 2014
I'm no comedian,
but to see you smile
I become funny.

I'm not rich
but I will hustle
to get you money.

I'm no chef
but your taste, I savor
I desire your flavor.

I'm no freak
but new lovers,
I love to meet.

I'm no hoarder
but admirers
I love to keep.

Fire signs should we press rewind?
You moved too fast:
In competition with time.
You touched my body,
Made love to my mind.
But you burned my heart,
You could never be mine.

Water signs should we start again?
Emotions you play and always win.
Your love is perfect, beauty a ten.
But there is some emotional reason I can't let you in.

Earth signs, you're the king of crossing the line.
It's never your fault; deaf, dumb, and blind.
Greedy, selfish, manipulaters who I bet are just fine.
Of all the bad guys, you're the worst kind!

I am LIBRA, daughter of KARMA

hate to say
I've lost my way.

I knew this would happen,
just wasn't sure what day.
ZL Apr 2021
Savage start
Gave birth to a savage heart.
Times of cold,
Caused me to carry a heavier load.
Times of abandonment,
Made me question where love was from and if mercy would be sent.
Teenager in the wilderness,
I came of age with bitterness.
Now an adult woman;
I'm a dark merciless tornado and no meteorologist can report which way I'm coming.
ZL Nov 2015
they claim to want me,
but loneliness is all I see.

the last kitten in the box,
sad and afraid of getting picked last.

they admire me from the store glass,
still not chosen as tears fill in my eyes.
ZL Oct 2015
He asked me.....

*How could I be so cold?
I cried a snowflake,
while starring into his soul.
ZL May 2014
LOVE is
priceless.
pennies are worth less
he said believe
have faith
so waters I will test.

a wish
so very close
grant me this favor
I need it the most.
my last penny is worth a try
grant me this feeling
before I die.

LOVE
ZL May 2014
adore my beauty
before it grows old
look into my eyes
before they grow cold
undress your body
before I go blind
tell me you love me
without lying
kiss my lips
before they go dry
give me a reason to live
**before I die
ZL Nov 2014
The damage has been done,
the curse from the sun,
fear replaces fun,
nothing chases her
but still she runs.

The damage has set in,
the curse of sin
running from the places she's been,
unsure of new friends
tired but there for her daunting kin.

The damage has infected the body,
and she can't tell anybody
won't trust nobody,
who can help? nobody
knock, knock!
whose there? just me.
ZL Aug 2016
busy
busy
busy
so I can keep from dealing with me

I'm a mess you see

busy me

One girls trash is anothers treasure
I should have loved him better

Now he has a new girl and baby
I still have baggage, bag lady

Now my chest hurts, heart attack
This is the worse payback.
ZL Oct 2015
I gave you my body like a ***
I gave you answers you desired to know
you only gave insecurities,
making me feel guilty and low.

I begged for our love
admitting my issues with co-dependence
but you laughed at me,
mocked my innocence.

For that I hate you.
I regret you, you *****.
yet you're still that addiction
I have yet to kick.

But know this....

You,
me,
and this feeling,
will be the last scratch
I will allow to itch.
Wow
ZL Mar 2021
Wow
I rarely smile
but once in a while I may admire your style
I may purse my lips
As your head will bow
I'll make you woo,
How about now?

some topics poetry itself cannot fathom;
I have writers block,
so this is random.
ZL Jan 2015
And I remember being in your home
In your bed
Insecure thoughts
ran through my head...

Like, do you love me?
Do you really care?
Satisfaction and pleasure
I could not share...

I knew I shouldn't have been there
I had the answers
And the truth hurt
But it was too late to go...

I had already dropped my skirt.
Yearning to belong but still alone
And repeating the same old heartbreak  song...

Don't listen to a word I say
because my feelings change day to day

Like when I want you to leave
but I really need you to stay....
ZL Aug 2016
let me love you before you say no
let me please you before you go
let me kiss your mouth before you talk
wrap those legs around me before you walk.

touch me before you leave
make me beg make me plead
grant my wish, fulfill my need
follow me to my bedroom, as I lead.

please stay!
come back my way...
sorry is all I have to say
for breaking your heart yesterday.
ZL Nov 2014
watch her eyes
because they're watching you
her eyes are spies
secrets they know to be true

watch her eyes
creep into her head
watch her closely
before she's dead
