I’ll look at pictures of you and your bright blue eyes until they burn into mine through the late hours of the night
I’ll listen to your favorite songs until I hear your voice in the ringing of my ears
And swim in a river of tears from the memories that are etched into my mind
For the slight chance
That it will tattoo into my brain deep enough for me to dream
Of you
And only you...
Am I rushing too soon?
Or is it the perfect time?
Oh, how I long for a partner,
One who will support me,
No matter what,
Through the happy times,
And the dark.
They say,
“You’re too young for that”
Ironic, coming from those whose relationships have fallen.
I believe love happens when one’s ready,
No matter the age.
I will continue longing for a partner,
Until I have met him.
We shall deal ...
I've written enough poems about my inability to express/recieve love.
It's not that I don't want it, moreso I don't know how to find it.
I _want_ to look at someone and feel butterflies in my stomach.
I want someone's arms around me, body molding against mine like puzzle pieces.
I want the type of love that doesn't need words; the type of love that you can just sense when you look into their e...

My heart pounds
Beating with every breath you take
With every blink of your eyes
You’re here now
Alive from my womb
Grasping at me with your small hands
Your frail body
It’s in my hands, safe and trusting
As you look at me with your big eyes
He’s gone, though
But you’re here, here with me
And I’ll take care of you with my Ma
Oh! Don’t cry
Mommy’s here with your food
Good girl, ea...
Blue soothes the mind, washing over our troubles with the ocean waves.
Green like the folliage in a quiet forest, or like the emeralds that are adorned on crowns.
Black mysterious like obsidian, sought after like the mineral.
Hazel, an orchestra of colors that confuse sight, pulling you closer to inspect each color.
But brown crouches down, looking down at the floor and mumbling,
“Who wou...
his eyes remind me of the stars
i love to gaze at in the sky
each night
eyes overflowing with all the poetry i could paint,
forever holding him in my arms
eyes that make everything else in the world
worthless
so entrancing, i am mesmerized constellations drawn in his irises
i live my life mesmerized by him, having memorized everything about him,
so much so that i hear the whispers of
his smooth v...
You hold my hand
“Just in case you get scared”
In the middle of horror movie
But you’re the one terrified
You giggle at my jokes
“Because you’re funny”
But really, she does it for me
And I just can’t lie when I say
I think I found love
In the most wonderful place
It’s the girl that is there for me
Even when I don’t need it
I think I found love
In the girl who just wants me
For who I am
And I ...
In tangled webs of yearning hearts we find,
The tender ache of moments, bittersweet.
Two souls adrift in seas of shared desires,
Where raging passion burns without restraint.
Yet love, a shadowed path of joy and pain,
Where each glance can destroy or melt the heart.
Each touch can hold more power than the sun,
And one harsh word can rip clouds from the sky.
Through nights of whispered dreams and...
