Poet B Aug 28
I'm bold, bold, bold.

I thought I could melt your heart,
and warm the iceberg in your chest.
Honestly, I'd thought I'd be your best,
but I was not made for that test.

You're distant, distant, distant.

I'm here, here, here.

You think of the future,
and I see the current world.
Honestly, I wish you'd look around,
but you won't turn your head to me now.

You're oblivious, oblivious, oblivious.

I'm aware, aware, aware.

Of they fact that you'll never stare,
but I still hope you will.
The warmth in my heart,
will go cold before my love disappears.

To my dear Rose, ll
Poet B Jun 6
I wish you would talk to me,
it’s so hard without your voice in my life.
Do you want me to send more flowers?
Do you want Jeremy, Jim, or Kai?
Or do you hide your feelings of me from them?
I know you love me more than you love them.
I know.
So, how is your dog?
I saw you walking him yesterday,
though you didn’t wave,
you looked scared.
Probably because you thought something was gonna happen to your pup.
His name is mine, right?
I know you want me in your life,
so answer back!

Your Man, H

The reaper
Poet B Sep 7
I danced with the reaper,
his sythe on the ground.

                        His cold hands sliding along my back,
                              spinning me dizzily around.

Right as his grip tightened the music stopped,
and I felt his boney hands drop.

                         His gaze shifted to another soul,
                           and I felt a sense of relief roll.

As I went to leave I heard them dance,
but she didn't finish her dance with death.

My Ice Cream Flavor
Poet B Sep 11
If I was an ice cream,

I would be Cookies and Cream.

Always enjoyable but never the best.

A "Close Pick," the one chosen when the favorite isn't an option.

Fear
Poet B Jun 5
Isn’t fear as dangerous as greed?

For it could make one do terrible things.

If one had fear,
they would be tense.
They would make sure,
to tell of their own,
till whole groups thought alike.
And once a community,
has one mind,
it only ends with a fright.

Songbird, sing your tune,

lighten the veil,

stay until the appearance of moon,

we will tell your tale.

In the morn, when you come back,

sing your song,

I doubt you'll lack,

and the day will stay long.

Twisted lilies in the steaming lagoon,

wrapping around willows that are covered in dew.

Shining bark, damp from the stew,

that covers it's roots from anything's view.

Frogs croak in the morning light,

the buzz of flies no one's delight.

Storks rest on the limbs,

the willow there longer than the oldest hymns.

A quiet morning past the cities brims.

Flames
Poet B Aug 28
My heart is a fire, the embers rest in my blood.
Veins set ablaze, sending flames through my core.
On the outside I act cool, hoping they won't see,
the blaze that rattles me everyday.

When I'm older,

my first tattoo will be a semicolon.

Not a flower, not a heart.

A reminder that life could be a lot different,

for better or for worse.

Ragged.
Spilt.
Torn.
Old.

In my defense,

I don't care about

homework

or my grades.

Not because I just don't,

no,

it's from the fact

that it doesn't matter.

When I'm older an employer

won't look at an english assignment,

but they will my college

and my achievements.

I am told to waste time,

time that will fly by,

and do work I already know.

Why waste my time,

reviewing something I can do in my head?

I can memorize the notes,

read all the lines,

but still they want me

to waste MY time.

The arrow cut through the wind,
slicing the clouds in two.

A bird was the target,
and its aim was true.

Slicing the flesh of the thing in two,
the arrow sank to the bone.

The caress of the wind on my cheek,

pounding beats into my soul.

The tinge of salt in the breeze,

Yesterday, I was asked, "Are you depressed?"

I responded, no, with a laugh.

As I saw a flash of concern,

I paused.

I asked, Are you serious?

And they said, "Yes."
This actually happened. So, yeah.

Tis a cold day, to go out for a stroll-
Mothers and Fathers keep children in hold.
Horse hooves clatter on the stones,
their breaths frosted white as the snows.

Tis a cold night, to stay out in the dark-
Newsgirls and Boys wish for a spark.
Hands hold another to stay warm,
their bodies shivering through the storm.

Tis a cold time, to the place called home-
Everyone disliked the frosted stound.
Howls of wind and snow go round,
their presents unwanted all around.
I honestly didn't know what to do for the last part, and I think this had a lot more potential than what I made with it...

Murdered by love I was told,

another girl broken by a tale long grown old.

To be so naive is a sad thing in its own,

though I was once on that very throne.

Now I watch with pity,

as those girls think they're too pretty.

But no one will go easy,

and they'll be seen as ******.

The church is many things all at once,
release and freedom,
tight and constricting,
different for everyone who steps inside.

A enchanting place that holds peace,
an escape from the world,
promising a time of relaxation after death.

A cage that sends chains around the heart-
locking you into fear ridden silence.
Your mind fearful of a being unseen.

I sit, waiting for my moment.

Though that moment won't come if I just sit.

When will I have the courage to stand?

To do something with the limited time I have,

the never-ending timer counting down.

Why won't I stand even with the reminder my time won't be back?

A lie turned to four,
stories made to hide more.

Turning friendships into dust,
causing breakups over mistrust.

Lying causes momentary rest,
but after all it is not best.

Ash
Poet B Aug 27
Ash
If one were to ask, if I would let the world burn.
I would say yes, without a turn.

I'd let the hills- let valleys glow like embers.
The blaze roaring above the screams of those caught.

The hot light would graze my skin, grounding me.
I'd let it burn, and burn, and burn.

Maybe then I'd feel something in this life, something to remind me that everything will turn to ash.

Bound me in ropes,

tie me up high,

put logs under my body,

set sparks along the binds,

then watch as they climb,

higher and higher,

up onto my dress,

I'll be burned like the trees under me,

my screams louder than the bells,

the smell of cooked flesh,

washing through all around.

For me, time is something irrelevant. I don’t care if I waste it, until I need it. The days blur, fusing into a simple string. In my head, these strings knot and jumble. I’m left unable to decipher when, what, or where. My hunger and needs are forgotten, and I only realize after long days when I settle. Even then I don’t feel the need to get something, I could always go another hour or so, is what I tell myself as I lay down and get ready for the same thing tomorrow.
