And stare up at the sky
Watch the clouds as they float on by

The way she talks
Even the way she walks
Never fails to drive me crazy
Always
Baseball
Hitting homeruns
Running all the bases
Making diving plays in the field
My love
Football
Scoring touchdowns
We are a family
Leaving the runner hurt and weak
Intense
Family
Love everyone
Never turn one away
Your blood is thicker than water
Comfort
That girl
Makes me forget
Everything in the world
When I see her just passing by

She is
Just so perfect
The epitome of
Being hit with love at first sight

ReplyDeleteIt’s pure
ReplyDeleteIt’s wonderful
It makes us feel wanted
It’s painful but still amazing
Its love
Strong word
It’s I hate you
But he doesn’t mean it
Slips out but the opposite is meant
He loves
We change
We all develop
In hopes it’s for the better
Our knowledge widens, we see different
Change comes
You enter
Then you are gone
Why come if you won’t stay?
Don’t walk in just to walk right out
Stay out
She’s alone
She chooses to be
Disappointed in others
They let her down, she’s so lost
She’s done
Time flies
Time to grow up
Scared, but I’m ready
I’m so close but yet so far away
It’s crazy
Life’s crazy
Moves too fast
I try to keep up
Expect the unexpected
It’s hard
These are very good. Clever, poignant, and meaningful. Great work.
DeleteTime flies,
ReplyDeleteLeaves us behind
Unless we stop and see
All the things that we are missing
From life
Windows
Provide insight
To the world around us;
It looks back, but how can we know
Its thoughts?
Leave me
With my sorrow
Because it is my own
If you can’t, then be content with
Silence
Moonlight
Douses the night
Where other lives emerge
To wreak havoc on the wind and
The rain
Peaceful
Serenity
Plagues our restless hearts, but
What makes it a plague if we don’t
Object?
Each day
The challenges
We overcome make us
Stronger, but is bad when we’re
Weary?
Sunlight
Nourishes us
And hydrates our souls
But we can only take so much
Brightness
Oceans
Reflect the depth
Of each we encounter
But the sea eludes us; so do
Our minds
Planets
So far away
But we can see when they
Move about the space where they live
And die
Rebels
Revolt against
Oppression and pain, but
What is it that they cause in their
Terror?

ReplyDeleteWith Her
You are without
Fallen behind shadows
Now left to cower in the past
Again
Drifting
You will lose Her
Into time’s dark abyss
No longer to touch and love Her
Alone
Fallen
Past returning
Now never to see Her
Alone and lost in the darkness
Unseen
Never
Will you touch Her
Forbidden to hold Her
To watch yet never to feel Her
Unknown
Youthful
Too young to touch
Ending love to amuse
Now look yonder of restriction
Shameful
Branded
In ignominy
A mark for the sin lust
Running farther into hell’s gates
No hope
Vengeance
The soul’s marksman
To put rest each quarrel
Founded on grudge and not regret
Punish
Now lost
Longing for love
Savannah cries sadness
Hoping to once hold your blind heart
Grasping
Counting
Each finger fast
Determine syllables
The pen incessant on paper
Written
Prose flies
Escapes fire
Woven by pen and mind
Surrounded by human genius
Endure
But now
ReplyDeleteTime ticks onward
The voices move closer
She moves into ominous light
Unsure
Young boy
Why are you sad?
Stop your crying this instant
There is so much more to live for
Don’t go
At peace
In her own world
She lays awake every night
Reality is more soothing
She’s happy
Whispers
She hears at night
Soft voices from under
Could they be monsters? Or Goblins?
No sleep.
Dreaming
Of anything
And everything else
An endless imagination
Peaceful
Searching
For an escape
He looks down at his wrists
And at the razor beside him
Tempted.
Soft waves
Crashing at shore
Seagulls flying above
Sand, as soft as a baby’s bottom
Peaceful
Winter
Snow covered ground
Children making snowmen
Oh what a winter wonderland
Pretty
Silence
Words left unsaid
There are many secrets
Some things better left unspoken
Wonders
Chirping
The birds fly by
Singing soft melodies
For the people surrounding them
To hear
My life
ReplyDeleteIs mine to live
I hope you understand
I control my own destiny
Freely
Wedding
A new found bond
That’s between two people
And of course their families too
Family
My cat
She is quite fat
But she is very dear
To me, she is always drooling
Crazy
Time flies
When you are free
And having lots of fun
The clock counts too quickly for me
Too fast
Grow up
Is all they say
But they do not tell you
How very difficult it is
No thanks
The sun
In the morning
Is the most beautiful
I wish it would not wake me up
Sadly
The moon
Comes in the night
I cherish it always
As a sweet relief of working
All day

They can be hard
Very much like this one
But they are usually fun

There are always complications
But try

5) I’m bored
Hmm what to write?
I need inspiration
Something to help me get this done
I’m Done
6) Panic
Juliet no
Don’t run away from me
Your dreams can still come! Don’t go now!
Just breathe
7) Don’t burn
Ultraviolet
The rays lighting you up
Glistening on your eyes and skin
So bright
8) Rubber
How strong is it?
Yes it can reflect glue
But it cannot stop the sticks and stones
It’s weak
9) Monsters
Mike Wazowski
James P. Sullivan
Fear is not real only a thought
Boo!
10) Eye spy
With my two eyes
A big and small surprise
Do you want to see the surprise?
Do you?

It’s my escape,it’s my life
It sets me free,creates positivity
It speaks

Makes me feel giddy
He drives me insane
Butterflies fly in my stomach

Hardships
Pain from the past
Leaves scars on my heart and soul
Memories create a hurricane
Just smile

Love yourself first
Enjoy the time you have
No one can judge you,but you
Have fun
Ocean
Roaring waves
Dive into the wave
Before it takes you down under
The sea

Should’ve said I love you

Slumber

But the darkness doesn’t last long.
Need sleep.

Stay wide awake.
Before sleep consumes me.
Give me the energy I need.
Awake.
To fly
You must believe.
Where can you do it now?
Possibly inside of your dreams.
Visions.
I dream.
And imagine.
A marveled fantasy.
A simple place with happiness,
And you.
Last night,
I could not sleep.
Baby Ja’uan would cry.
It was the middle of the night.
It sucked.
Colors.
It could be blue.
Or maybe it’s a shade,
Of more than two put together.
Rainbow.
Future.
What do you hold?
Will you bring happiness?
So many possibilities.
Be good.
We met.
By accident.
It was so magical.
The last pieces to my puzzle.
We fit.
Father.
You may have left.
A hard choice to have made.
But I can easily forgive
My dad.
My life.
Is family.
They are the ones who care
They don't always have the same name.
A bond.

Define me. On
My own I am lost. Who
Could I be alone, without them?
No one

Behind these walls
I am forced to lose
Myself. I have nothing to hold
On to.

Can tell there will never

Pages surround
My brain. I cannot think.
There is nothing to say on my

Towards the forbidden doors
Trembling with anticipation.
My fear.

you in heaven. I hope you can
see me.

The pain inflicted cant be taken
