got a lovely tatty on ya left leggy
got no motivation or inspiration
but that *** needs lotsa smackin'
or maybe mine does, red from your hands

bittercress amongst the flowers outdoors
warding dancing birdflit
of people friendly pudgy pigeons
man i hate the birds, the people

singing their arias, their liturgy
feeling like they know somebody
in the canon, me in the sheets listening
to their rumors, trying to break our secret

eclipse

and i swear i'll be your best time of your life
until somebody eclipses me in every capacity
the sunrise hasn't happened yet and there's still bridges
to burn, the oversized teddybear you got me from
the fair of those overpriced games lined up under the bright
farris wheel lights that shine with nostalgia everytime
i think about them again, crashing on your couch
and waking up in the morning to the smell of breakfast
but you have disappeared and it will be tragic, bones
hurt when you break them but you haven't broke mine yet

Um

Um

i say um at the beginning
of every answer to every question
i am asked.
it's unsure
it's hesitant
it's my mouth knowing
my brain is moving too fast and
the anxiety is too much
and um...

it's a pause that gives
me enough time to think
and maybe
just maybe, it might be too long but
then you happened
and i never paused with you
i was confident in me as long as you
looked at me with those
brown eyes that seemed a lot lighter when the sun
shone on you or when you smiled because
you thought something was funny when
it really wasn't but
your smile was infectious.
so i smiled too.
i was confident enough to say words
that would seem awkward or weird to
literally anyone else
but you got it and it made you laugh.
your laugh was infectious.

i was falling before i realized it and
that was my mistake.
we were, no
we are friends.
we have strange inside jokes and
high five way too hard
and you hug me when i'm having a bad day
and i play with your hair when you stoop
to my height

the lines blurred and i fell so hard
i hadn't noticed that your arms were
already full so you
could not catch me
and i fell
so hard
that um...

the hesitation came back only
whenever you were around
and i was quiet often
because my brain couldn't catch up
to itself
and your eyes still crinkle at the corners when
you smile,
your jokes are still off-beat and
make me smile

and my heart beats
a little faster even
though i tell myself to stop because
um...

Rainfall In Transition

Rainfall In Transition

By Arcassin Burnham

When it falls,
And it'll fall,
There's no way out.

Put up a fight,
And when it's time,
You will find out.

Cause when earth grows cold and the
people get weary and the bliss of an
Ignorant boy gets ready,
As the world in diversity, we know to love
another and the vultures fly over us,
They're plotting undercover,

With one mistake,
We cause a rift,
While in this time...

Put down your guards,
Let go of egos,
Silence your hate.

Especially those guns,
All this war,
It's all the same.

Cause when earth grows cold and the
people get weary and the bliss of an
Ignorant boy gets ready,
As the world in diversity, we know to love
another and the vultures fly over us,
They're plotting undercover,

Times are hard,
But in this case,
You will be fine...

The Cleansing

Abigail Hobbs

The Cleansing

I scream to the stars above
"What do you want from me?!"
The wind picks up
Stealing what little breath I hold
Sleeping flowers awaken,
only to find that rain season has just begun
The rain comes from my eyes
I curse your moonbeam eyes
That once danced in front of mine
And in comes the sun
Burning where you once held me
And suddenly... peace.

first kiss

first kiss

feels like putting my hand
on something sharp kinda day
invincible temporary, of course
fight the system on a february dawn

where the lamp's lambent spheres
bob in and out of existence
as the sunshine overcomes their presence

first kiss with you, like hands
dancing in the fires
trying to stay warm in the winter light
an ogre of a dream, a curse to be this shadow

compared to the glow of an angel like you

I like ugly guys

I like ugly guys

no, I'm not talking about the ones with big noses
or greasy hair

not the ones with bad breath
or round bellies

no, I just like them raw
a little broken, a little sad

the ones with scars
a story to tell

I sure know how to pick em' you might say
but I'd never give them up any day

a whole adventure in a person like the outdoors
one with canyons and mountains he would let me explore
only ugly guys give themselves all at once
no parts hidden, everything is exposed

vulnerability is thought to be a weakness but in reality it's bold

I like ugly guys.

So go out there and be real, often we hide because we fear getting hurt. But in that fear we miss out on the world, we miss out on living, and worst of all, love. So even if we may get bruised, get to the lowest of the low, you'll one day stumble upon something that embraces you as you are, something that cherishes your ugliness unconditionally, something that inspires you to be better, whether that be a passion, a person, or something as simple as a smile. Is it really worth hiding if you miss on the chance to experience that?

Edit: I am very grateful to everyone who took the time to read my work and am in disbelief a piece of mine chosen as the daily pick for the very first time! This community is amazing :)

12:13 // the silence is deafening

12:13 // the silence is deafening

it's 12:13 A.M.
i'm sitting upright
in my bed
my fan is making the slightest buzzing noise
and yet
the silence is deafening

12:13 reminds me
of the time my best friend and i got into a fight
and she wouldn't even meet my eye
i opened my mouth so many times
but i never succeeded in saying
what i needed to
the silence
wrapped around my throat
and robbed me of all of my words

12:13
is like the time
my boyfriend told me
he would miss me
right after he said
he couldn't be with me anymore
i turned around and left
only when my words sunk into my toes
and the silence took over

12:13
reminds me of all the times
i should've said what i needed to
and how i shouldn't have
let the silence choke me
and take away all my words
when all i wanted to do
was say them

fall in love with a poet

Apr 2018 Sky

fall in love with a poet

when a poet falls in love with you
you can never die
they will notice the way
you rub your palms and look down
when someone is angry at you
and the way you smirk
as you pull away from a kiss

they will notice how you can't sleep
without your body touching someone else's
how you never crease any pages of books
and how you close your eyes when you dance in your kitchen
with your record player on

they will find all of the words
that they see you as
and turn them into something beautiful

people say you die twice
once when you stop breathing
and when someone says your name
for the last time

if you fall in love with a poet
they will never stop
mentioning your name
you will be alive
for eternity
