Many scoff when they hear of
things, said or done too often
for their palate. But the power
of the act lies not in repetition,
or its absence, but in the act
itself, whether it be performed
once, or a thousand, thousand
times, for as long as there is one
among the throng who is willing
to open himself once more to
wonder, the power of the act will
continue, forever, and for eternity.

I wish I could ariculate,
but it has all been written before.
And yet here I am still dreaming of the ineffable, the inexplicable, the as yet udetermined.

Oh to be a cliche,
idealising times of the past
while th present grows bleaker.

Things lack beauty.
The beauy I find in books and films, are lies when it comes to my reality.
And the arduous task of going on feels like a puzzle impossible to solve but one I cannot leave alone.
Things lack beauty,
for me.

Life lacks the luster I have been shown previously existed,
and by romantising the previous, I only pull myself furthe away from the beauty I know must be here.
It must.
Must't it?

However the rare specks of it I find are the ones in her eyes.
And they parade themselves infront of me, knowingly.

But such things have been written before and will be wrote again.
And yet still I wish to articulate.

Oh to be a cliche.
i don't know what this is

she slips on a dress
  looks in the mirror
    and says she's an absolute mess

he laughs as he puts on
  his vest and says
*"oh darling, you're my beautiful mess."
idk, i tried to make it have like a 1960's vibee. this is actually dedicated to someone on here, you know who you areee. <3

I'm so glad we got to where we are
to hold hands
even when we're freezing
to warm each other's hearts
to kisses on rosy lips
and tongues exploring
each other's vast caves
to laughs filled with memories
to small things like
your eyes changing colors
and mine forever remaining blue
to the cliche poems
like this one
to express my love to you
I am so glad we ended up like this
instead of staying strangers
lost in our own stories
because now we're
writing a book
that I hope will
turn into a sequel

I traced hearts on your back with my fingertips
i want to kiss you until my lips bleed.
please
write poetry about me with your tongue
and leave the words on my body.
i want this to last.
i do not care if it hurts
let it hurt.
i will swallow my pride whole
until i I throw my insides up
and i am left in tiny pieces
just let it last
You say that you are mine.
Always.
Your basement has become a burial ground for my innocence
that i tried so hard to keep alive
but
I am not ashamed.
that scares me.
You say you'll do whatever I want
you like a girl that begs.
you like a girl that moans.
you like a girl that takes control.
how am i supposed to do any of that
if i cant even tell you what i want for dinner or touch you without my limbs shaking?
i want to be that girl
for you
i'll do whatever you want.
always.
because i am yours
even if you decide you don't want me
anymore.

The world is too much for us.
There is so much beauty
Around us
And those who notice it all
Do not know what to do with it.
And those people
End up the most miserable,
The kindness in their hearts
Swallow them whole,
and they can not handle
All of the wonderful things
They think that they
Do not compare to
But
These people
Are just as beautiful as
The morning sunlight
And the stars that shine
So brightly.
The stars shine for you.
There are stars Inside your mind
do not let
cruel people with unkind
hearts **** your stars
let yourself get lost
in the world
do not feel guilty that
there is gentleness in your soul
because a kind heart
Is just as wonderful as
The universe's endless beauty.

I never write these poems about you any more. It is not that I do not think about you. It is not that I do not wonder what could have happened. It is just that I stopped looking endlessly for you in crowds you never walked in and dreams you never occurred in. Your name, oh how it still tastes funny. Sadly it is as common as the rain and it rains a lot. Mine on the other hand never quite makes it out of any lips not even yours. I miss your hands sometimes but never the awful things that purposely found their way from your mouth to my ears so keep your ***** hands to yourself and change your name.

For your eyes only, I am all eyes only,
Starving myself off, courting you
     With fewer blinks.

Now, let us be silly, dear,
Blush. I want this warmth.
I’ve had enough of our elbows
     Always meeting, always kissing.

Let us talk, converse,
For once, in silence.
Look at me.
     Just look.

I am intrigued now
     More than ever.*

They laugh meat out from between
their bloodied teeth,
and leave us to ponder this cliche;
"Hell is on earth."

Every day I sit in an ivory tower,
and press my pen to decadence;
live a life of ease.
Few sufferings.

When the ones who deserve what I have
come back to take it,
I will not fight.
I will ponder
new cliches;

"Hell is trying to leave earth,
and we stand firmly in the way."
