SheShe thinks life is a beach on
a paradise island.
She never wears shoes;
never brushes her hair.
She likes to blow bubbles,
running around in her underwear.

She's never gonna grow up.
If you can't love her, let her go.

Responsibility is just a bad wind
blowing by.
She never lets it catch her eye.

She believes that we are all alone,
and everywhere she goes is just like home.

She thinks love is for giving,
so she loves everything and everyone.
She loves to sing and dance,
laugh out loud and live fair.
She likes to blow bubbles,
running around in her underwear.

She's never gonna grow up.
If you can't love her, let her go.She12 minutes ago in Free Verse

I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY!I have so much to say.
It’s absolutely ridiculous.
Most people sit here,
Becoming frustrated because they can’t write ENOUGH words.
While I cry out in frustration.
“THERE’S TOO MANY WORDS!”
I want to say how much I enjoy writing horror,
Telling scarring tales of terror.
Or how I adore the way mother nature can make anything
Elegant, or make trees dance in the wind.
I have too much to say.
Too much to tell.I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY!20 minutes ago in Free Verse

The Eye of the Iris---Poemthere was a girl all dressed in red
all covered in clothes from toes to head
she was ready for the ball to-night
oh, how pretty, oh, what a sight

she yearned for what the ball would bring
what dances, what fun, which people would sing?
and her young man all dressed in white
her gorgeous, her beautiful Kosmonite

she would dance and sing the night away
her troubles gone with the light of day
she’d wear a mask made out of green
she’d be the masquerade party queen

but as she stepped onto the floor
with music and people and fun galore
she saw what she thought she’d never see
“is that my man dancing with someone who isn&rThe Eye of the Iris---Poem25 minutes ago in Free Verse

GoodbyeIf your ears could hear these words
and your heart could feel the same
maybe it would give you another reason
to never leave again

The boys always hurt you
yet i'm the one you cry to
if only I had told you
those hugs were more than comfort

If only I had told you
how beautiful i really think you are
if only i had been given the chance
to glance my fingertips over every
graceful, flawless curve
move the tendrils of hair
away from those ocean eyes

and gently touch my lips to yours

Instead, these lips are forced to tell you goodbye.Goodbye32 minutes ago in Free Verse

UntitledWhen one’s life is fraught with pain
And its decisions are always hard.
One sees what can be gained
By going that extra yard.

To understand what we go through
To try and take our hands.
We ask you walk a mile in our shoes,
Then try to take the stand.

For in a life that’s rife with fear
And uncertainty from all sides.
The one thing that is hard to hear…

Is the truth in your eyes. Untitled31 minutes ago in Free Verse

Weakened...Weakened

I've been fighting for so long now
And the worst is yet to come
I don't think I hav the strength to
Keep going
And yet I refuse to run

My muscles may ache but my sword never
Falters

Many a times I find my self.
Somewhere in chaos we all find
Ourselves
Locked in darkness I fight to find
The light

But I never seem to find the ending

I make to help others in trouble
Taking their place in taking their wounds
Along with my own and sometimes
I dig their graves I should dig mine soon

My spirit may be broken... Yet I never show it

Weakened from the wounds
That never end
I smile with happiness
And sorrow never seems to bend

SeaThe waves will rock me
into your mind
to dance in your hair
for just one night.

I saw you smiling
from across the sea
you stood at the shore
and waved at me.

I tried to swim
but became entangled
in the rising seabeds
singing my name.

years spent lost.
an eternity wrapped
in your
uncertainty. Sea1 hour ago in Free Verse

You,v traveled a long way to find this place
you worked tirelessly to find it to find Him you wheeled and dealed to get the information to find where his hid him self
not just from you but all living people you know others have tried to find Him most gave up some went mad a few died.

But you found Him as you slowly walk up the stairs to a small dull gray building it looks so small like only two people can fit in it you notice the stone the buildings made of its so worn and weathered it looks like it should have fallen -apart long ago
you also notice outside old gear from people who came before you and a few bones of them lay time and fate2 hours ago in Free Verse

RainPitter, patter on the roof as the soft autumn breeze rolls by,
blowing my curtains open, making them look like silky arms,
reaching, reaching out to pull me into an embrace.
And the water spills from the open window like a waterfall,
flowing down my walls and onto the floor,
where the carpet soaks it up, like a starving beast.

As the water washes away my pains and my fears,
and lulls me into a stupor of sorts, breaking the tension.
The calmness resides in my muscles,
and the blankets devour me, pulling me into their twisted,
dark world of warmth and silence.Rain3 hours ago in Free Verse

PrayersRough and unstable,
Strong yet unable
to place all the pieces where they should be.

You walk on and on,
your balance, long gone;
yet you place all your hope where it should be.

It all seems a mess,
still you hope and you bless,
all that cross your path by coincidence.

You will hope, and you pray,
that maybe some day,
He will show you his love, his magnificence.

Yet the signs are all there,
if you grin and you bear,
all the lessons that are there, right in from of you.

If you live with eyes open,
and forget you’ve been broken,
the path you discover will be true.Prayers3 hours ago in Free Verse

On Destruction.As blisters form on my hands
And my eyes start burning in my head
As the pen crumbles in my hands
And the walls come at me
I realize I will never finish

UntitledI lie hidden beneath trails of endless cold
Where winter sooths the light of spring,
And scattered glasses reflect the old
images of forlorn truth.

I lie hidden beneath rivers of tiring days.
Where rain embraces the dark of dawn,
And chilled stone in silence plays
songs of its youth.

I am temporal and transient
Where light lacks darkness and
My enemy shall name me 'friend'.

I am endless and without age
Where darkness dwells in loneliness
And ink stains a final page.

I am feared and welcome
I am hated and rejoiced
An eternal contradiction,
By the living I am voiced.Untitled3 hours ago in Free Verse

It's the Little Things She LovesShe loves how he wears
his glasses upside down
how in his presence
it's impossible to frown
how he doesn't lie
and says what's on his mind
how he calls her beautiful
all of the time
how cute he is
when he expresses how he feels
how he too, eats a lot
when sitting down to meals
she loves how generosity
is what he calls his weakness
how he compares her to strawberries
because of their sweetness
she loves when he notices
she held his hand tighter
when she couldn't say the words
that she held inside her
she loves how he smiles
and his randomosity
that she found someone
with similar energy
she loves how he was brave enough
to tell her that he lovIt's the Little Things She Loves4 hours ago in Free Verse

The Little ThingsYou love me? Prove it.
You want me to stay? Make me.
Don’t want me to leave? Pull me back to you.
Hate to see me go? Don’t let me even get to the door.
Don’t listen when people say ‘the little things don’t matter’, they do.
It’s the little things that will keep me tied to you
The random voicemail at 4am to say ‘I love you’
Picking a flower on the side of the road because you can’t afford store bought
Sending me song lyrics cause that made you think of me
Saying “I’m sorry” after we have fought
Thanking me for dinner, instead of asking when it will be

I won't harm youLook into my eyes
You see the blood trickle out
I'm dying right now
Please don't look away
I dream of you eye contact
Cause I'm so alone
(I secretly want to kill you
And chew on your bone)
Don't tell me I scared you again
Why do you keep on running?
These fangs only bite the ignorance
That plagues this worldI won't harm you4 hours ago in Free Verse

Life I leadTried to find happiness
at the bottom of a bottle,
and smoke all my troubles away
but instead
it only brought me sickness and pain
as I try to escape the true realites
of this new phase of life I lead
that foolishly, I did not prepare for

So, as I slowly hit rock bottom
whilst I sit here in silence
I still search for that hidden road
to take me away from all the things
that bring me down

Yet, I wander these streets alone
and still cannot find the start of it
Have I missed it?
Or am I already on it..
laying out the pavement
with each and every simple step I take

I know this won't be an easy Journey
As it tests my true character
But, I knowLife I lead4 hours ago in Free Verse

PacingThe slower, more gentle the pace, the ever more the organic it shall fare in victory within the readers face, keeping them in place. One needs hook of course but the line is where it comes down to being most carefully, delicately drawn. One must not be too languid as to kill, break morale with nothing, but patience and tact is worth noting, speed is well and best reserved for the sensationalist, not for an epic such a scope as this, it becomes a listed trap.
I leave my sensibilities, romantic nonsense and you see this is what I get…something I must remember never to forget. I’ll remember to set my stance as sceptical.

no attractioni am not attracted to people
with perfect, symmetric features
i am attracted
to lips that need balm
lips that close over cigarettes
i am attracted to high foreheads
and calloused hands
i am attracted to freckles
i am attracted to

seas of crinkles
on a pair of working hands
i am attracted to tendons
sprawled like sandpaper beneath
skin
i am attracted to thick, scratchy voices
i am attracted to untamed hair

i am attracted to people
who look through me
because they’re scared to look at me
i have always loved wounded eyes
and how there is an unfaltering
flicker of fire
that catches like city lights

i have always found

Secret Love UntoldI am living a love of the soul
which the mind cannot accept
Yet I love
How can I stop wishing to
touch you -your body, so different from mine- to
see you -your face, it is rough I cannot it deny- to
talk to you -you are so weird, you never speak up your mind-
to
laugh with you -you are so stupid,
but you always make me smile.

When I feel sad, it is you
the one who cheers me up,
When I am happy, it is the thinking of you
that leads
my tears
drawing
a
painful
path,
directly going
to my Heart.Secret Love Untold5 hours ago in Free Verse

PrincessPrincess
With your
Pretty little castle
And your pretty little prince
While I'm going
To school
With a bunch of
Freaks
Pretty little princess
With your brand new dress
And your brand new shoes
I'm standing on stage
Singing my heart out
But everyone
Boos
Pretty little princess
With your light pink makeup
And perfect skin
I'm living in the gutter
A life of sin
Oh precious princess
With perfect hair
Golden like the sun
I'm cloaked in darkness
And drenched in rain
Princess
You see
Me
Don't you?
I'm that nightmare
Every night
I'm the girl
You never want to be. Princess5 hours ago in Free Verse

You know that feeling...You know that feeling...
When you look at him and think
Wow I love him but we're just friends.

Or maybe when he looks at her and it hurts so much sometimes.
When you're in love with him and he's in love with her.
You love everything about him and he loves everything about her.
When he looks at you with those beautiful eyes and you would give anything for that to be you.

When he sees her and his face lights up and it feels like you got stabbed in the heart and are slowly withering away.
Will he ever look at you that way?
No, the answer is still no...You know that feeling...5 hours ago in Free Verse
