It crossed my mind
And lingered there
Like footprints in concrete
It invaded my heart
Made it home
Like a bird nesting
It lifted my soul
On waxen wings
I flew too close
Now I ask myself
My eyes closed
Was it worth it?
I don’t care what one will say
A writer is a writer
No matter how low or how high their ability is
If they favor to follow the pattern of a published poem
And make it their own
Then so be it
They are a writer
If they are familiar with a certain style of writing
And they would just write in it for a while
Then so be it
They are a writer
A writer is a writer
There has not been one without a great story
A writer will go to that extra mile
So their characters can have a memorable voice
They will sacrifice other stories
Just to focus on one that haunts them
A writer has an obsession
With the voices that linger in their heads
They will liste
I saw the perfect picture:
you,
staring up at the stars,
breathing in the air and
smiling, like
this is what you wanted
I think the moon is
weighing down my heart,
breaking my spine:
I never thought
I'd live this long
but what
does an eight-year-old
know?
and now it is an
uphill battle
won by walls and alcohol,
tylenol and sleeping pills.
I never thought
I'd live this long
and I guess that
this is what you wanted
but the stars are always
getting farther away
and I'm beginning
to taste cold air and think:
"I could be colder."
If I wasn't such an introvert
And was more energetic
Would you have chosen to stay?
If I wore a bit more makeup
And I chose to be athletic
Would you be with me today?
Maybe if I dressed more girly
And I went to bed more early
You'd have thought I'm worth your time
If I didn't dye my hair
And I had more money spare
Maybe you would still be mine
And then I realised something
As I analysed myself
And it started to sink in
If I made all of these changes
I would become someone else
Hiding my true self from him
Would that really solve the problem
Or would it just be a lie?
I never got to find that out
But I wouldn't have been happy
Constantly in

Literature
Love is a Phoenix
I have seen nothing more tragic,
Than watching love die.
Enduring it’s painfully fade,
As it stubbornly clings to life
The slow death of a love,
That’s filled with years of life.
Or the sudden snap,
As it blinks away in a lover’s eye.
It doesn’t go easy,
And it doesn’t go fast.
It goes out fighting,
Because love was made to last.
It is a brilliant flame,
Drowned in water.
It clings to the air,
With all its dying embers.
Yes, I have seen no sadder sight,
Than watching love as it dies.
But I have been blessed to gazed upon no otherworldly scene,
Than watching love be born again, anew and free.
The 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."
Smiling 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.
Relapse, breathe in, contract, begin,
The world's assimilation.
Protect, within, format, reach in,
Recreate your imagination.
Pull back, hang in, exhale, loosen,
Prepare for mental reincarnation.
Your thoughts, no more, cannot, control,
Familiarity is just a concept.
Black out, repeat, seize up, defeat,
Now processing self realization.
Execute, give in, fade away, hold still,
Let fantasies take over.
