Flower
flowers that have flourished in winter made beautiful in the frost, from the same chilling breeze they have grown lost. one flower stands out in its sunny meadow, the other still frozen in a field, envying the other flowers that get to grow along in that meadow, waiting to be revealed. every once in a while the pollen of the flower...

Scars Of My Soul
You wrote me in scars. You’ve made me like this. You tell me I’m not the same as my old self— That I am something you pay for. Am I something to be paid for? I am torn apart by the way you treat me. I am crushed by the comments you pass. Am I not good enough? I’m weighed down By your words. You’ve...

Brown face is a strainer for tears Like lace they fall poetic to all A ribbon of red bloody fears You still call but I no longer talk What occurred is reality set in I’m no longer your prisoner No longer your passionate sin No longer your world to live in I see your smile and see denial You only loved the...

Love's Beginnings and Endings
This, is where it began, and this is where it ended. Here my heart knew it must close what it started. I gave you my heart, but you knew I never belonged there before I had a chance to walk away you made friends with the grim reaper and sent him out to play. Play time's over. Now it's time for time-out. Let's think hard...

Premium Member Deprived Of Your Love
I can’t rid of the bags under my eyes The crowfeet despise, all were lies, Conjured was an illusion of you Throughout my groping confusion evasive, flimsy A-m-o-r-p-h-i-c, innuendos I was subjected to your derision dissing me relentlessly deriding my appearance, disparaging my intellect as I stumbled and fell into the abyss Mocking doesn’t suit my countenance My lips desert dry, thirsty, parched An amazon...

tide
you came back like the tide that forgot it wasn’t supposed to. i had a whole life stacked up, like driftwood, like sandcastles, and you knocked it down without even touching it. you hold his hand like it’s borrowed. i kiss her like i’m apologizing. we pretend we’re strangers, but my chest still aches in the shape of your name. i don’t love you, i say it again. and...

All I have to do to keep loving you is to play that game like you always do. You hide your love cause you were hurt before, so you measure our love like a game to score. You stood by my side till you took me for a ride I couldn't have imagined it so, You told me that...

I Am The Giving Tree
I am like the giving tree, ready to tear myself apart, letting him seep into every fragment of me. I carry the weight of him— swirling in the depths of my stomach at the mere mention of his name. If to love is to truly know, I’d spend every waking moment memorizing each gesture, every reaction he might show, just to prove my devotion. I’d offer...

Hey
In case I never write another poem again, here's what I've been thinking I've had a rough time wrestling with the rigid grooves inside my red hard, head - heading nowhere really, getting no place clearly, drearily coming to a head - where spine meets brain and runs its creviced terrain it spent too many hours of my life building. Beautiful though, isn't it? All of it...

Melancholy of Misery
Haven't I loved you enough? Then why do you have to be tough All the time and hide Your vulnerabilities that reside Like a happy family inside Of your heart, oh, heart, alas! your heart! Why did you become such a cold bard? Your heart's nothing but a broken shard. So, tell me, why wasn't love sufficient And why it...
