What You Are Inside Of I
I see
your freeze frame
this picture's driving me insane
theres only part of you
that's showing
with half a name
I long to know you
invent new colour , alien hues
turn all the bad , golden
enable breathing on the moon .
Imagine floatation
we're absent
from rotation .
Orchestral notes are pitching high
we are like Kestrel's
in new skies
we could kiss Neptune
or Jupiter's eye
I am the octagon
but no sides lie
I roll and rock too
I've lived a lot of life
so I need to know you
before I go and die .
Take me away
to where new suns
light up your face
with an amethyst haze
that does eradicate
gone days .
The cool of ruby
and all red , is truly too me
the jewels that you have bled
and the food
you do feed too me
the words that I have read
walk around inside my head
sometimes they run instead
because of your athletic legs
if I could I'd replace
the dead stars in the sky
if it did so place
what you are
inside of I .

Valentine’s Love
A day of love
That’s Saint Valentine’s Day
One who gave his life
For his belief
Greater love has no man
Than he who gives his life
For another
It’s a day of love
For me for us
For those who wish
To know and touch passion
In all its delicious offering
The ardent kiss
The burning embrace
For you my love
I wish to dance
To clasp your body to mine
To raise my face
To receive your kiss
To kneel and worship
In the temple of eros
On the altar of passion
I recline for you
In all my natural adoration
To receive your desire
And offer mine in return
To give and take
Until ache for passion dulls
Without cards or candies
I sit before my desk
And write this poetry
My desire is in my dreams
My wishes are but whispers
Dispersed in the wind
For I have no Valentine
This Valentine’s Day
Is a day of love
And desires written in poems
For some it’s a day of sighs
For loneliness is a faithful lover
Who takes you in his embrace
And love you hard and long.

Eye To Eye
There we are
just us two
the orange sol so far
is close to you
the heavenly of star
from inside grew
your like a sweety jar
when I look , I always drool
your backed by the Azure
that can lure
my child , my fool
the brightest of the pure
for sure
my new sky blue .
As the spectrum splits the white
from all colour in daylight
I see you then but you get fuller
by the night
from gentle frilly pink
to a mental rich red fight
all indigoes in sinc
with a rose to shade a plight
Stood on a beach
we go eye to eye
soon if I don't reach
my blood
it will be dry
so come on let me teach
my love
that does
not lie
for the last time I beseech
you before I die .

- To Make You Mine -
A Valentine’s Day Poem
I promised Heaven I would find a way to make you mine,
And so I pondered with my heart, for the very longest time.
I thought about all the things that people might call sublime,
But at last I decided that I would present you with a rhyme.
Flowers are so beautiful, but in time the petals might fade,
And that would leave you sad, and wanting for their shade.
I thought that might make you unhappy, and so I was afraid!
Then at last I created a poem that, just for you, was made.
Candies can be tasty, but when you eat them they are gone,
And that would leave you hungry, with a face sad and long.
I thought about how I’d cheer you, and it hit me very strong!
I realized a poem would last forever, and sing just like a song.
Jewelry can be lovely, but soon it tarnishes with aging glow,
And that would leave you gloomy, with nothing left to show.
I thought that would be a poor way to see how well I know,
That what you want is this poem, with words that ever flow.
I promised Heaven I would please you this Valentine’s Day,
And so I pondered with my heart, for the most special way.
I thought about all the gifts that such a girl might call sublime,
But at last I decided that I would present you with this rhyme.

- The Death of Cupid -
Aphrodite spied the god of love one day, that pesky Eros!
Cupid some called him, and made of him that fat little imp,
Which decorates cards one day a year, with his pudgy toes.
But the goddess was jealous, all because of that silly gimp,
Who stole the fame that was rightfully hers, and her alone!
So she went to the god of war one day, Ares the crimson,
And together they hatched a plan of bloody steel and stone.
By their design, the god of love would be entirely undone!
Ares waited by the pillars of Olympus, watching the clouds,
Whilst Eros visited fools below, giving heats to each couple.
The god of war waited long hearing the many joyous shouts,
Which sickened him, and made his muscles tighten supple.
He waited all of that Valentine’s Day for Eros to get done,
Plotting mad murder of that annoying god, one and for all!
Tightening his grip on his sword, anticipating a scarlet fun…
He smiled when at last foolish Eros flew by Olympus’ wall.
Close to the pillar where Ares hid, the winged god did fly,
Never suspected his end was near, and so he did shriek…
Whilst the god of war did slice him in two with a battle cry!
Valentine’s Day was finished, its’ mascot never to speak.
Ares tore the wings from out Eros’ back, a trophy so red,
And brought them before Aphrodite, to lie at her soft feet.
Even more delighted was she, to see Eros’ cloven head…
Now love was hers alone to grant, on her terms to meet.

-Heartache-
You lied to me,
You played with my heart.
You said you hated him,
He treated you in evil ways.
Now you tell me it was all a lie,
In fact hes your boyfriend.
You stole my heart,
Then you crushed it.
You asked me why i didnt trust you,
I said i did.
Big mistake,
Look what it got me.
I tried to keep you,
From hurting yourself.
It looks like you would,
Rather hurt me.
Do you know how much,
I loved you?
Do you have any fucking idea,
How hard I'm crying?
You said you dont want,
Me no more.
You do what I dont like,
So i wont talk to you.
You make my heartache,
You are squeezing my insides.
To a pulp,
From eleven and a half hours away.
I love you after,
All this shit.
All this shit,
You have done to me.
You told me you hated,
Jerks.
So I was myself,
I respected you,
Cared for you,
Loved you,
Now you tell me i'm to nice.
I ask you to have,
A nice life.
You tell me you won't,
What am i supposed to do?
You love playing twith my emotions,
It causes me heartache.

-Snow-
Kisses ever so lightly,
Light and as soft as falling snow.
Kisses as sweet as the cool air of night,
Her lips were so perfect, i never wanted to stop.
Snow, oh Snow,
So pale and yet so beautiful.
It hurt not to be near you,
And yet it had hurt to be by your side.
All I wanted is for us to be like we were,
Forever.
Snow, I love you,
AndI miss you.

And yet it had hurt to be by your side.

Snow, I love you,

Dont forget that hunny:
All i needed was to be with you
And all you needed was to be with me
Yet you were the one who ended it
You still say the L word to me
And i still love you
You say that im cute and im
Everything he needs
But he plays with my mind
Like no one has ever done.
You cant have it both ways
you make me smile even when no one else can
Is this love?
Or am i just seeing things?
I cant be there for you if you shut me out
Im so confused right now
so here are my lasts words for you
I love you forever dont you ever forget that hunny
All i needed was to be with you
And all you needed was to be with me
Yet you were the one who ended it
You still say the L word to me
And i still love you
You say that im cute and im
Everything he needs
But he plays with my mind
Like no one has ever done.
You cant have it both ways

so here are my lasts words for you
I love you forever dont you ever forget that hunny
Tinfoil Beauty
This hectic Hallmark holiday
is meant for those haughty princesses
raised on plastic Disney dreams,
suckled with red tinfoil hearts
and educated in high-end chocolatiers,
harassing even the most even-keeled men
into the role of stupid, vapid prick
because "it's just what you do."
Having survived it once,
chivalrously sautéing fish and tomatoes
and overpaying egregiously for blood-red flora
apparently intended for the simple joy
of handing over hard-earned cash,
I vowed to be single
every February fourteenth
'til death relieve me.

"So I was thinking," she begins,
"I'd rather just stay in bed all day
and celebrate it right with you..."
I think I'm keeping this girl.

Kou_Indigo said:- The Death of Cupid -
Aphrodite spied the god of love one day, that pesky Eros!
Cupid some called him, and made of him that fat little imp,
Which decorates cards one day a year, with his pudgy toes.
But the goddess was jealous, all because of that silly gimp,
Who stole the fame that was rightfully hers, and her alone!
So she went to the god of war one day, Ares the crimson,
And together they hatched a plan of bloody steel and stone.
By their design, the god of love would be entirely undone!
Ares waited by the pillars of Olympus, watching the clouds,
Whilst Eros visited fools below, giving heats to each couple.
The god of war waited long hearing the many joyous shouts,
Which sickened him, and made his muscles tighten supple.
He waited all of that Valentine’s Day for Eros to get done,
Plotting mad murder of that annoying god, one and for all!
Tightening his grip on his sword, anticipating a scarlet fun…
He smiled when at last foolish Eros flew by Olympus’ wall.
Close to the pillar where Ares hid, the winged god did fly,
Never suspected his end was near, and so he did shriek…
Whilst the god of war did slice him in two with a battle cry!
Valentine’s Day was finished, its’ mascot never to speak.
Ares tore the wings from out Eros’ back, a trophy so red,
And brought them before Aphrodite, to lie at her soft feet.
Even more delighted was she, to see Eros’ cloven head…
Now love was hers alone to grant, on her terms to meet.
I love it!!!!
