#numbers poems on Hello Poetry

xvborealis Oct 2014

She used to tell me
of math and poetry
by the length of her arm
and rhythm of her heart
conversing verse and fraction
with form following the function

of communist theories
and greek philosophies.
she beat out aesthetics
with a perfect symmetry.

because no one understands
the relationship between
seafoam and shoreline
the way she does
[swimming in saltwater sorrows]

reimagining time in an hourglass,
she shot up infinities with a glance
and left me moondrunk in the night.

she emits sparks throughout my system
breaking and entering--
my kingdom under siege.

her name was an amalgam of numbers
italic1.6180399. . . .italic
and I loved her by design.

this is an old favorite. it's clunky and rushed but like junk food it's good. for those who have found patterns in love and love of patterns.

maybe i'm paranoid, but at least i'm cute

if i knew where to get drugs, i'd be a ******
2. sure, my ribs are visible, but what of it?
3. i lose myself in dreams at night and during algebra ii
4. i'm in lust with a girl with a boyfriend
5. or maybe i'm just paranoid
6. i'm lonely in these cinderblock walls
7. i find myself again under stage lights
8. i'm homeless (although not in the traditional sense)
9. i know i'm loved but
10. when my friends laugh with their other friends, it's about me
11. or maybe i'm just paranoid
12.if i lose it, who will visit me in the hell known as 'psychiatric ward'?
13. i can't hold my own in a fight because i cry into my wounds
14. besides, i don't write anymore
15. what is there to write about besides love and insanity anyway?
16. my demons visit this safe haven and desecrate it
17.their names are sarah kate and victoria
18. or maybe i'm just paranoid
19. but i swear i didn't name the voices inside my head
20. i make endless lists of things that don't matter
21. to do, to buy, to cry about, to write about
22. so i close my eyes when i sing
23.or maybe i'm just paranoid
24. and you hated this poem but
25. maybe i'm just paranoid

Killer rhyme No3

Once I skinned a cat alive,
6
7
8
9
10
Then I did it to my
Best friend,
He did beg,*
He did cry,
But I
Craved,
Adrenalin
Needed,
To feel the power
I want to
Hear him scream again
Look into his eyes before he dies.
1

4
5
I want to watch them
Bleed again,
The victim's I will have to hide,
Never to be found again to
Hide my murderous high.
6

10
A serial killer reborn again,
Till they catch me
Ill commit to this craving
Again
&*
Again
I'll never get bored,
Ill **** anyone just to feel their life
Draining through my fingers again.
.

Didn't like how they worded or the structure so rewriting them..

Human Half-Life

we are all just decaying
slowly, systematically.

there's even a formula
one cigarette: -1 year
one night stand: -2 years
one broken heart: -3 years

add in heredity, longevity genes, disease
and you're already halfway there.

if you take two half lives,
do you take a whole?

or is it exponential
only ending when you run out of digits?

Numbers

I am not 2 worried about my numbers on this site, after all I don't enjoy math.

I much prefer people and poetry, than numbers and math.

infinite

over a year since we met
i havent been counting the days because numbers dont matter
happiness cant be measured in millismiles or kilolaughs
we are infinite
all the bad friends we lost < the value of us (infinite)
lonely feelings because of you < the times we had fun (infinite)
dreamless feelings because of you < all our jokes (infinite)
our year is infinite
our following years are infinite
everyone else is just a negative number
and all i can
think right now
is **** them all!!!

i love you
