JUDGING A POEM
I
Confess that I am among
the innumerable souls that
dare to venture into the magical
and amazing world of writing
and reading poetry.
I
use to try to write and judge
poems by syntax, grammar,
and all the rules Mrs. Know it All
taught in English 301.
I
use to read the great and
well known poets and conclude
that "I might as well forget trying
to write even a simple poem."
THEN
after years of silence but still
in the corner of my heart there
was the urge to write something,
maybe even...

haikus and senryus
my secret
if i loved her more
i would have to let her know
but it's my secret
no more heartbreaks
you're only lonely
that's the way you choose to live
with no more heartbreaks
she wore moonlight
she looked so lovely
wearing nothing but moonlight
she wore it all night
winter's cold
i don't mind the cold
when winter comes around
let it pass by spring
hopeful flowers
the bad weather came
the flowers withstood it all
keeping...

Bloodshed
Bloodsheds as I pick the stitches in my arm,
They think I'm an emo girl who self harms,
I never took a blade or made a mark,
I hid from everyone and waited til it was dark,
I lost all my friends,
Who needs them,
I'm shedding blood I need a nurse,
I embrace who I am I know what I'm worth,
From the battle I've retreated,
It doesn't mean I've been defeated,
My brain cells are overactive,
Lately I've been a little distracted,
I embrace the dead,
And forsaken the dread,
It's all over my bed,
Nonstop...

Shattered glass
There is so much beauty in your heart
But all you see is dark
Because of what happened in your past
You tear your yourself apart
You see yourself through shattered glass
Instead of seeing your reflection
your eyes are stuck on the cracks
My love, look around what's skewing your vision
Look between the cracks
You'll see your true reflection
Even with the shattered glass
You'll see how pure your heart is
And how you put others first
The way you feel pain whenever I hurt
You'll see the way you showed me
exactly...

Every Word in a Blink _ with "Adagio"
oxygen-rich air inhaled, filling my lungs
soft whispers of the wind caressing trees
I sense the earthy aroma in soil
the sweet scent of blossoms cleansing my insides
the gentle breeze tickles my skin in an embrace
a melody of birds singing with harmony
the breath I held now leaves
expelling dioxide with an exhale
along with every worry in a blink
repeated as long as possible to last
rolling it over in my mind over cataracts and stones
feeling that I am never alone

Open dating, no not for me
Why did I react the way I did
You make me feel a way I never have before
It's like everything came to a skid
Even jealousy makes me want to roar
When all I want to do is lay on your chest
The rhythmic rise and fall, like calm tides
That's where I feel blesses
That's where all stress abides
I want love to exist
But all I've ever know
is what it should not consist
Like a sinking Stone
I don't know what to do
Because everyone I have ever asked for
It looks and sounds alot like you
And yet you are so much more

The dating race
I like you
but all of this is new
Should I pusure
But I am scared
Look at all I have bared
I'm so unprepared
Dating apps,I thought would get me nowhere
I didn't know you would be so rare
I dropped everyone one else without a care
You caught me so unaware
Love songs in the car
Thinking of you while I strum guitar
You are such a beautiful veiw
Do you even see the way I look at you
...nooo..
You see right on through
You wanna see other people, I had no clue

could have been the one
I've made my choice
And I no longer wanna say it with my voice
So a poem it will be
And once I make up my mind it's a guarantee
You could have been the love of my life, but now ill never know
because you decided to put on a show
Like the flowers in my vase
This love has wilted in place
You picked the game we played Played
Yet you got mad from the first move that was made
I gave you my heart of gold
And now it will no longer be yours to hold
I told you from the first date that I hate when people assume I'm a whore ...
And I no longer wanna say it with my voice
So a poem it will be
And once I make up my mind it's a guarantee
You could have been the love of my life, but now ill never know
because you decided to put on a show
Like the flowers in my vase
This love has wilted in place

Yet you got mad from the first move that was made

And now it will no longer be yours to hold
I told you from the first date that I hate when people assume I'm a whore ...

Tap Out
Close your eyes, reach out and feel me, feel my fire
Can I make sweet love to your mind handsome, I’ve been thinking of you, about you
As you sit in front of your computer ravishing and seducing my mind
My soft hazel eyes drinking in the elixir of your darken passion
It’s about time you reach out to me to feel my sweetest essence
Umm, imagining my soft hands gliding over your chest wall
My tongue following the path up to your neck, up your bearded chin
Whispering in your ear, “you like that”
Kissing you behind your ear lobe ...

giving birth (poetry)
you have
gave birth,
not to
something
new, but
something
old,
you are
the mother,
you are
the father,
each word
is breath,
each line
becomes
age,
now you
place them
out there,
on
their own.
