a ratio of freckles to starsvirginia,

you are floating away in
every direction:

a universe
of sunlight & marrow bones
i want to know

your touch
had vertigo then--
a certain horse sadness

i remember how you
would swallow the stars:
watch them glow through your cheeks

(no one told you
what they thought of light & dying
of being a constellation
drawn across your face)

you are the milky way:
a firefly drowning

but i will trail you--
hold your coat above the water

(a star
exploding a million miles away
with a number for a name)

Great Expectationshe told her
summer wasn’t coming
and she crawled under the sheets
saying things don’t go
as you plan.

he wanted to tell her
about the good things she deserved
like cloudless nights
beds with no shortage of pillows
and a person whose ears
were always tuned in to her voice.

instead
he kissed her brow
and said
i love you.

it was enough.

This is my girlfriend.This is my girlfriend.
I found her all on my own.
She’s little,
And broken.
But still good.
Yeah,
Still good.

cool breeze across sultry skinorange morning
riverside
in the wind
reeds bend
like backs
yours arches
like a bridge
in my breath
and my two lips cross
your soft skin connection
to reach the end
the heartland
open and waiting for me

There isThere is;

Joy in your laughter, music in your voice
Dance in your step, confidence in your stride
Pride in your heart, tranquility in your mind
Sweetness in your smile, fierceness in your eyes
Comfort in your presence, tenderness in your embrace

Nothing quite compares

CountermelodiesWhen it begins,
it’s like discovering
the decadence of music.
Perhaps your breath hitches
on the cello carrying the countermelody.
It reminds you of their voice,
as they warm spices in the kitchen
and you’d wrap your arms around them from behind,
like the horns come up from under
and saturate the harmony.
Their body feels familiar in all different ways,
a second listen granted to a beautiful movement.

You can’t tell them you repeat
the first song they showed you
because it smells like their skin
If you listen close enough.
And they can’t tell you that
they try to harmonize with your
speaking voice on the phone

What the Planets Dream ofThe romance of the stars
is one that only planets can dream of
so I told her
"let's become planets tonight.
Let's never go back
to the heart wrench of home.
There's too much beauty in
the world to see
to have our hearts be broken.
Let's write letter to each other
like Neil Armstrong writes the moon
every night to remind her
that he hasn't forgotten
everything they every had.
What they had was so precious."

CityscapeAwake too early, I survey
unpeopled streets. The curtains
have smoothly withdrawn
to expose the picture window.

From the seventh floor
the view plunges vertiginously
into the canyon of the narrow street.

Already the morning has laid out
my solitude, that dull robe
that smothers my invisible days.

the brickwork walling the street
fades toward nonentity. Uncertainties
of recollection taunt me.

Briefly I wonder if you have already stirred,
before I recollect how this indifferent spring
morning marks for you
the onset of a winter night.

Completely separated. You will never
be an intimate part of me again.

You are a bittersweet beauty with hips that lie.Do I crave you because I crave a intense muse?

Poetry flows from my lips.

My heart bruises,

soul feels ripped.

I still want you.

I don’t need you.

I want you.

I want your flesh upon mine.

Whiskey lips and hips that don’t lie.

Bone against bone.

My body is my home.

Experience the bittersweet beauty.

A Particularly Cold NightPouring through the thin glass,
Chilling breaths of autumn waltz about silver curtain…
Invading like tides over a smooth river bed.
It contrasts…
The beauty of frigid air
Elegant spirits dancing about the room
Coated the warmth of her embrace.
As Ticking notions evade
And blackness haunts this vessel,
My heart sinks within her
Plunging deeper into the spectral night.

BeautySmiling into the sunshine I go,
the warm rays on my face as I walk.
The world around me is vibrant,
every color rushing to meet my gaze.
The world seems as if it is waiting for me,
opening its beauty to my eyes.
A drop of water touches my face,
from the sky they fall,
bringing out new color and life.
I sit in the rain as around me it falls.
I would try to find the most beautiful things,
but you are the most beautiful thing of all.

It hurtIt hurt you know,
Falling for you.

I felt very bump and bang,
Every bruise and break.
I tried to hold on,
I tried to slow down,
I tried to stop.
But it was inevitable.
Gravity was too much,
It kept pulling me down
To you.

And when I landed,
When I hit the ground
At your feet
I could barely breathe.
It was too much
For anyone to handle
Let alone me.

But I watched you reach down,
And felt you pick me up.
You gathered together
All my broken pieces
And worked for days
Making me whole again.

It took time
But I finally realised
That for me to fall down to you
Meant that you
Had fallen too.

So once I was rebuilt
I searched for your missing p

Eternal LoveI never thought this day would come so soon.
And yet I always knew it was to come.
For we are nothing but another side of each other.
For all those years we were two sides of a single coin,
Spinning round and round but never facing one another, never meeting.
But those days have passed. We have joined in more ways than one.
And now we complete each other, black and white, white and black…
Different but the same. We will always continue to fly under the same sky.
Together. Nothing else matters but the connection we share.
This connection which binds us, it runs through our veins, through our blood, long before we ever met.
Eternal. Like the symbols that matched our colours and understood our souls.

let's play pretendplease hold me close and keep your eyes shut
i'll become the girl who broke your heart
and you'll be the boy who broke mine

ThiefCant you see she's a thief?
She stole your heart
And your breath
Now she's stealing your last name.

All we are is a blip,
A tear in the fabric of space,
A speck of dust floating
In the current of time.
So what's the point?
Why am I here?
Why do I bother?
Because that person is here.
Because that person is worth it.
That person,
The one for whom I would gladly give my life.
The one who I strive each day to make smile.
It's beautiful,
That smile that could set the sky ablaze,
Force the sun to hang its head in shame
At that person's brilliance.
They are the sun to my moon
Gracing me benignly with radiance.
The one who I would chose over the world,
Because without them,
I have no world.
Nothing else matters anymore,
Not life, not school, not other people.
They are my everything,
And someday, I hope I can be theirs.
That person's voice is like starlight
Unfettered, pure and ethereal.
If I could have it speak only for me.
That person is hopelessly lost,
And yet the still finds hope
In the roses they stop to smell
On their way.
I crave the days my person shares that with me,
The days they find me in the gardens,
And take my home to their heart.
And they are why I bother.

Love it! You've got some great description within there

~apricots-and-coffee Nov 10, 2012

I like your theme here (definitely a favorite!), and I was wondering, why do you refer to your love as "that person"? It's unusual and stood out to me.

~DraconisNight130 Nov 10, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Uh, good question ^_^' Actually, that person has no idea I like them and I'm not ready to tell them, so I was trying to express my feelings without giving enough for anyone to guess who it is.

~apricots-and-coffee Nov 10, 2012

Oh, I see.

I love it! You make me feel emotions with this poem even though I've never met anyone that makes me feel like this. Great job : D

~DraconisNight130 Nov 9, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

When I first wrote it I didn't think I put in enough emotion to show my feelings for this person, so your comments make me feel a lot better. Thanks

~PoemsPoet Nov 10, 2012 Student Writer

You're welcome : D
