Walk with me,
Because life is much more exciting and elating if you have someone to experience it with, share it with, and enjoy it with

Walk with me,
Not because I'm some damsel in distress
Sometimes, all we need is a little company to get through this labyrinth

Walk with me as you wish,
Although I've already mastered the art of independence and contentment,
No one deserves to be alone forever

Walk with me and let us both wander through the valley of the unknown;
Let us both learn from every journey
And help each other grow!

Walk with me,
Because it takes two to tango;
I’m not asking you to save me
But just....walk with me
for you
Material things don’t entice me
Empty promises don’t  count as a remedy
Flowery words are pleasing to the ear
With apparent intentions clear

Is this just an infatuation?
An effect of my subtle imagination
This relentles game of tug of war
How I wish it wouldn’t end up in a scar

All I know is that I’m tired of this dance
Might as well give us a chance?
You have gone way past this armour
Consistency, that is all I am asking for

Life would be dark without people like you.
Lightning the path of my bitterness.
Never have I seen you upset.
And, If I did...
It would be the day the ocean was drained of salt.

You light my smile the way you light a candle,
and it burns to my heart making it a lighter place.

Maybe even forgetting the pain of others.

People live because of people like you.
You are a light in a world of darkness.
For a good friend :)

You hold many things in you.
Your eye wanders with deliberation
and your soul is a rhythm
that is wanting
safe harbor.

These energies are diabolical.
They seek to drain.

I'll plant
these flowers
for you.
I wrote this one day during a graduate school seminar. Sometimes, you can really pick up on other people's negative energies, especially within an atmosphere where many people feel the need to "one-up" someone else.
She has the beauty of a crane
And the elegance of the flames
She helps in times of need to keep me sane
I ask how she does it and got the answer Its love she claims
Thank you Anna for never abandoning me especially during the toughest of times
Others can cook.
I can't.
Others can draw.
I can't.
Others can sing.
I can't.
Others can swim.
I can't.

Others have friends.
I don't have one.
Others have loved ones.
I don't have one.
Others have siblings.
I don't have one.
Others have family.
I don't have one.

Others are rich.
I'm not.
Others are successful.
I'm not.
Others are free.
I'm not.
Others are better.
I'm not.

Others can do anything.
I can't.
Others have everything.
I have nothing.
Others are very lucky.
I'm not.
Others is all they need.
And so I'm done.
Freeform is the best form of poetry for me. You can just write everything without worrying about rhythm, rhymes, stanzas, and everything. You're free to express yourself without any rules to follow.

shook themselves loose from trees
to enrich spring soils
