Coins

Flip the coin

See where it lands

The clanking noise

I can’t stand

Heads tails

It’s all the same

I’m just tired

Of playing this game

Heads tails

It won’t define me

I’m just tired

Of constantly trying

One or the other

My life or my death

I live to suffer

Gambling my breath

Shut up I know

How much you care

But I can’t hear it

In suffocating air

My coins they fall

Out of my mouth

I feel so...

Those people

How do they do it?

Live like no one’s watching

Like the world is safe and kind

Other people are

**Always**

Watching

So how do they do those things?

How are they so friendly,

Helpful

Cheerful

Sweet

When no doubt, something in their life

Is going horribly wrong?

How do they not snap?

Break under the pressure of society?

How do they strive through persecutors?

How do they **live**,...

The air we breathe

Cannot be seen

Until it’s winter air.

With cold that bites

You like a knife

You exhale and it’s there.

It drifts away

And then it fades

Without ever a trace.

But once it was

What filled your lungs

From which you spoke today....

A melody drifts, a gentle wave,

Carrying the soul to a tranquil enclave,

Where notes dance and leap in joyous flight,

And harmonies embrace in the soft moonlight.

In this realm, the heart finds its voice,

A symphony of feelings, a poignant choice,

To soar on a crescendo, to weep in a song,

Music, the language where all can belong.

It whispers of love with a tender caress,

It screams of anguish i...

You know that was a lie.

I lied when I said “Not directed at anyone!” In a different poem.

Because I wrote that poem thinking about you.

I know you don’t like liars.

But what can I do?

When I don’t want you knowing how much you make me smile.

How my friends see my smile because I’m always thinking about you.

How I just wish I was online 25/7 even when I’m looking at your life file.

_Talking_ to...

Every strum

Every note

Every word

is the human experience

Every story

Every love

Every loss

connects you to me

Every melody

Every rhyme

Every beat

envokes a new emotion

Every lyric

Every song

Every album

makes sense of my mind

Every culture

Every place

Every time

has felt it’s power

Without it, we’d be alone.

Music cleanses the soul....

Pink are your petals and green is your stem.

On the water you stand, tall and swaying.

In your petals you guard a golden gem.

And above you the clouds have been graying.

The birds are quiet, and the fish are still.

All is quiet, but it won't be for long.

It starts to rain and the birds start to trill.

When do you realize something is wrong?

The wind picks up. It screams, whistles, and shouts.

Beauty is rarely black and white.

Beauty can be seen even in the absence of sight.

Most people and things are beautiful,

If they put forth their heart and soul.

With more love,

We could rise above,

And see the truth,

And call a truce.

One person’s trash is another’s treasure,

And I will just want you for more than forever,

You’re the definition of goals,

You always sparkle but you’re better than...

Is it okay your skin creates a soothing touch,

Or that my hearts engulfed with harmless flame?

Is it okay your fragrance delivers a drug rush?

Or that your heart is what I wish to tame.

Is it okay for me to feel like I’m driving with no clutch?

Or that it gives me excitement chasing you, no matter the game.

Is it okay not even the moon can light up the room as much,

Or that you’re the rainbow a...

Nature is the dance the earth has yearned to waltz

We see it through the wind and its whistling melody,

It's present in the welcome of the oceans-lapping waves,

I've seen it in the flight of birds as summer starts to fade.

Nature is the grief that every being seems to face,

We hear it in the wolves' aching howls to the moon,

It’s in the swaying of the barren trees, as fall consumed their leaves,
