Ava Thomas Poem
The sun casts a glowing hue upon your face
I swear I have tried to take this at a slow pace
But I cannot make it any more clear
All of my attempts and sly hinting have led me to here
Soon it will all be out in the open
Conveying more than any words I have repeatedly spoken
You have utterly captivated me
A blinding light shrouded in naivety
Offering me acts of kindness and honesty
I had otherwise never directed towards me
Gentle and warm like a welcoming spring day
Causing me to fall in unforeseen ways
Your eyes, smile, voice, and laugh
Take me to a place I can't help but want to go back
You fill my thoughts, a pitcher to its brim
Introducing an ocean of feelings, I desperately want to take a swim
I am unsure of what you might say
Will you leave me standing all alone on this soon-to-be rainy day
Or fill my heart with wonder that you indeed want to stay
So with one final deep breath and a gathering of courage
I take a leap I would have otherwise discouraged
I turn to face you with a slight sway
Lean in and finally say... "Hey"

Ava Thomas Poem
Pain has never scared me
The chance of a cut or scrape never once made me wary
Watching the blood rush to the surface following a freshly scraped knee
When I was little, first intrigued me
As time moved on pain took new forms
Evolving from nicks and bumps to aching emotional sores
Though the threat of a new gash to my soul
Did not slow me down as I went down and down the rabbit hole
New people, new faces, I let them all inside my heart
Even after it was shattered, crushed, and ripped apart
One relationship after another, hoping one would do better than the last
Desperately hoping the pain would drown out my past
The suffering boils over to a blade against my skin
Not from surgery by a doctor, but my own masochist fruition
Thinking causing more pain would dull out the rest
When all it really did was place a heavier burden on my chest
Though now those moments have come and gone
Pain still draws me with its sweet lulling song
I am a true "glutton for punishment" as they say
Living life with the motto of all work and very little play
Pain that once haunted me I now revel in
It is different you see when I safely let the bruises bloom against my skin
No more mental anguish I am trying to release
Just the gentle caress of pain chaperoning me to peace
Once upon a time, I abused it to cope
Now I use it to bring myself nothing but hope

Ava Thomas Poem
Your voice, it hurts me
Every time I hear it I feel like I need to be rushed away on a gurney
Why won’t you be quiet? -All you do is scream-
I try to muffle you with my own shouting
I’ve even tried hitting my head against a beam
But you’ll never be quiet, not until I die

Ava Thomas Poem
The scissors go snip
While the blood just drips
The tears drip drop
While the heels clip-clop
The mind races
While looking at their disappointed faces

Ava Thomas Poem
Sitting in a crowded room filled to the brim with unfamiliar faces
Through the chatter, there is a burst of oddly familiar laughter
The moment it is heard, my heart is disturbed - off to the races
The sound is that of yellow twinkling bells, and my soul swells
Yellow - associated with the sun and unadulterated joy
Casting radiant light into limitless darkness
Bright and shining, a force to dismantle the continuous night without ploy
A vibrant color, painted on canvas skies and blooming across spring wilderness
Twinkling Bells - associated with peace
Small bells heard at Christmas time, Weddings, and inside rattles alike
Symbolizing a wondrous occasion, a day to be overflowing with joy
Soft, elegant sounds, with accompanying calm as though on a midsummer hike
Together this ringing is one of a kind, a true rarity to find
I heard your bells once, what feels like a lifetime ago
Hearing them again is like coming home
