Forever Friends
If i could go back in time, back to change the cause I would save a life, I would save a painful loss Memories can only last so long Sitting in your room, listening to our favorite song I still can’t remember what went wrong Everyday your death is something i will never forget Not spending enough time with you is something i most regret Come back to when we were young Come back when nothing...
My Love.
When I close my eyes your soft smile is what i see Your soft skin, your kiss will set me free I know you will always be there Someone who will listen, someone who will care My Heart is yours, it’s something we can share My trust in you keeps growing stronger Not seeing you everyday keeps getting harder Without you my dreams keep becoming darker If anything should happen just keep in mind To...

In Essence, My Lifeblood, Spencer Perez
poetry365:
In a quaint dive, clammy with years of cooking oil coagulated under squeaky barstools, I clawed at dozens of ethereal thoughts Much in the same way that I scrapped linty change from my pockets to pay for this stiff cup of coffee. “Is this exact?” I sure hope so. -http://lookoutmountaineer.tumbrl.com

Toy Store
You know when you walk by
and you see it shine, it just catches your eye.
You smile wide and pull on mom’s hand;
mother can we go in just for a second.
For 20 minutes you beg and you plead.
You con your way into this toy factory.
You walk straight to the back and there it is,
the shiny red truck you’ve been cherishing.
You fool around for a little bit,
caught in the moment...

I have been trying to get a grip.
To pull myself up out of this hole.
I should have known better,
Because I have been here before.
Like a cancer within my heart,
The tumor slowly tears my soul apart.
The distance is a catalyst to the end,
there’s no light from around the bend.
The lies and the deceit
grew out of 16 million feet.
Every day I wake up numb,
Every day I’m told...

What do you do when your heart is black and blue, and all the eyes can do is shed a tear or two? Your soul will writhe trying to end its own life, and inside…you will feel a war.
Inside you will feel a war and outside you will wonder what it’s all for. You look abroad and everyone is at peace and you wonder why your war won’t cease.
Soon the blue fades and black is...

Life as we know it.: Swim With Me →
Days pass without the sight of your smile.
I try to breathe The air resonates off my breath Searching for your lungs Yearning to breathe into you As the sun sets. Your love is an ocean.
Strong, vast, endless. Consume me like the sand and Wash me away into the…

Keep It Simple Stupid
A kiss is as simple as two lips touching Yet as complicated as the millions, billions, and trillions of electrons vibrating against one another Breathing life into the chemicals that create your DNA The piece of print that creates our being That encodes your personality, your likes, dislikes and the unlimited amount of love that can be expressed from the simplicity of a kiss. a kiss....

Know
You know when her eyes see yours and the world is instantaneously better? You know when her hand feels yours and you feel you could live forever? You know when her scent reaches your nose and it’s like you’re inside heaven’s gates? you know when her lips kiss yours and you know you’ve found your soul mate?
And then, you know when you look into her eyes, and they’re...

Learning a Language
poetry365:
She’s reading your minds as you pass by, the
dipsomane déguisée en rose
While she waits for her date to turn up, the moon in the man…
She know exactly what is going to happen
she’ll be guided upstairs to a bedroom, and turning around he will show her his gun
He’ll ask if she would like to hold it, which she will
amazed at its lightness and beauty this thing
it must...

beauxjours:
The effects of love Always vary In the Sense that above Love is carried It is buried In our hearts like a glove Fitting perfectly, no hurry For it is love. And it comes from above This should bring no worry For it is love And love will not scurry In the midst of worry Turn your head above Do not scurry For you will always receive love. -Kayla Shears

Crawl across towards your window I’m calling softly from the street Always a lonely widow Half awake and sleeping on my feet I’m of age but have no children No quarter phone booth calls to home Just late night television Inside my bedroom all alone There is no use in waiting Offer up your steps so I can climb Show me all your figure paintings Etched in the middle of the...
cheliz:
A year ago, we stood, dressed in darkness and glued to the pavement. Your shoulders caught my tears, and your eyes were pools of sorrow so deep that I could barely stay afloat. After everything, I can only tell you this: I have never felt more loved than that night where you couldn’t let me go.

A Forgotten Knight
I can’t get you out of my head. From the darkness, I remember sitting on the bed playing the game as you passed the sadness ahead. Face to face, “yes” is what I recall you said. Then it was chaos and all went astray black was white and white was gray the rhymes ceased and so did the play your kind heart struck me with dismay. I passed the happiness to my brother. He listend as I...

poetry365:
No. Who can bear it. Only someone who hates herself, who believes to pull a hand back from a daughter’s cheek is to put love into her pocket— like one of those ashen Christian philosophers, or a war-bound soldier.
She is gone again and I will not bear it. I will drag my grief through a winter of my own making, refuse any meadow that recycles itself into hope. Shit on the...

Any Man
Today is any day, in any month, in any year.
It is any time and many men get on many trains.
Many men with many titles, many suits, who’ve made many gains.
They enter many doors, see many seats, and sit many ways.
The trains depart at many stations,
All sharing, a common destination.
A place where happiness is stored in a wall,
in a vault with guards, cameras, and all.
Train one is...

poetry365:
After midnight the heart picks the locked silence right out of your hands. Then it may remain quiet, or it may raise the roof. Like it or not, it’s the only one of its kind.
Like it or not, you may know it but you’ll never catch it, so why shiver, now, like a thrown-out child? After midnight the heart has its banquet, gnawing on a silvery mouse.

OMG WHAT IS MY LIFE?

You’re lookin’ so cool you’re lookin’ so fly I can’t deny that when I’m staring You down right dead in the eye I wanna try to be the person you want The person you need It’s hard to conceive That somebody like you could be with Someone like me I’m happy knowing that you are mine The grass is greener on the other side The more I think the more I wish That we could lay here for hours and...

Bowling
with every click of the mouse a part of the past flashes by a broken soul twists and turns churns and spurns. It never learns. the pins hit quick and hard. All the pieces, all the shards quiver, tremble, burn, and fall. Every exchange, quick and dull; I took the risk and I fell. I confined myself to this hell. With every resurgence a new strike blows; back on the ground facing new lows. Sometimes...
