There once was a young girl, shy
And pretty, but unaware of her grace.
On late summer days she gazed up to the sky,
Trying to slow down worlds enormous pace.

She understood there was more outside,
than poppy fields and hazy clouds,
while most people blindly joined life's crazy ride,
she resolved to walk without the crowd.

On her untapped path she spotted a flower,
blue and lovely as she has never seen it before.
For flowers blooming in unexpected places she swore,
are the most beautiful ones holding the greatest power.
To all who are brave enough to take the untapped paths in life and be themselves
I found love
Only for it to fly away like a bird
Never to be seen again

if
if a poet falls in love with you,
you can never truly die.
your lips would be spilled out,
along with perfect puckered lies.
there's always something to love,
even as you sleep in a bed deep underground.
everyone will know what you were made of,
even if you're nowhere to be found.
you are the living breathing poem that all poets need to thrive,
so if a poet happens to fall for you,
you can never truly die.
mortal bodies, timeless souls

I was a rose
Turned black with decay
Until my petals fell to the dirt
And I stood naked
In front of your audience

I was a rose
Watered with vinegar
Fed with cyanide
Loved by your ego
And broken by your hands

I was a rose
Torn from the roots
Cut off at the stem
Dead before I was alive
And rotten before I was ripe

I was a rose
Stabbed by my own thorns
Bleeding from the inside
Draining my crimson color
Into your palms

I was your rose
Painted black by your lips
Brushed to dark perfection
My expiration date long passed
As you sniffed my last breath away.

I was your rose.
Imagine having something on your mind, on your lips
but no one can ever hear it
you can think it, type it,
read it, hear it,
but never speak the words

People don't realise
what you're capable of
but when you look straight into my eyes
i know you understand me
and i understood you
from day one

Your bones are fragile,
easily broken
but every fragile bone in your body
is beautiful
your soul is kind,
innocent,
pure
your heart is warm

You're intelligent and funny
and sometimes even a bit cheeky
remember when we first met
and you kept blowing kisses to me,
you were so sweet

Why must I swim like an empty vessel,
A lost boat among your vast ocean love,
When I can be your Lighthouse,
Unnoticed, insignificant
But forever caressing you and
Watching over you from afar.

love shuts down your thinking
takes responsibility for your thoughts

plants love in your soul
wants to give you its *all

It was all dark;
but you lit up my sky.
Yes, you did.

No matter the situation you’re in,
No matter how tough,
You can get through it,
And life will go on.
You could be stressed for a test
Or thinking of the past
But no matter what it is
You can make your life last
People come and go
There is no reason to fret
Over the ones that cause trouble
Their so easy to forget
Think of the present
Not the past
Not even the future
Can get passed
The only thing
That makes you you
Is how you handle now
And if you see your life through
So don’t give up now
Cause there is so much to see
So much to do
And so much life to live
Because no matter how hard
Life might seem right now
You can get through it
And life will go on

you can melt, be absorbed
become more
aware

become yourself
in all
others

share, and shared
being
a family

unity of spirit
individually, uniquely
expressed.
