every moment with him
is the most precious thing in the world
all those stupid cheesy corny sayings
crazy ridiculously right
he takes my breath way
makes me weak in the knees
renders me speechless
blows me away
its more than i could have ever asked for
ever dreamed of
ever imagined in my wildest dreams
im so blessed
So i’ve changed my mind
it’s not a circle,
it’s more of a spiney, sea urchin type thing
you’re going straight, you reach a point
the point pierces, and you fall
into the pit
the ditch
the grave
crying out, give him my love
don’t let him forget, never ever
no matter what happens
no matter who says what about who, why, where
i love you
i sound so frikkin corny
what is this crap?
then he hears, he’s calling out to me, and i rise
i rise out of the grave i fell into, up again
was that your voice i heard? thank God
thank God you haven’t forgotten
what?
no
not
another mistake, another piercing blade
another step down
and you’re falling again
falling down
falling to pieces
falling into,
falling back into a new grave
moaning, keening
I should have known
What did I expect?
life isn’t sunshine and daisies i suppose
some get used to it
and some are injured every time
no flowers on this grave
[A/N] well. this turned out quite well i think. Thank you, Aly. you’re an awesome poet. your advice helped so much. I’m starting to quite like this poetry stuff, it’s a really good release. The ache is still there from this last fall though… it’s like one of those times when you’re rollerbladin having a good time and suddenly out of nowhere you slip and fall on your butt. AND IT HURTS. lol.
Always sincerely

loop
it’s a loop
an endless circle
it keeps going back to the beginning,
the end,
another beginning
that ends nowhere.
nowhere but another beginning that
may as well already be another end,
because
this isn’t going anywhere but here
I’m stuck. I’m lost
where am i? where are you?
let’s break the circle
make a line,
an arrow.
to the past? to the future? anywhere,
anywhere but here
stuck inside the circle
[A/N]; i dunno if this qualifies as poetry. I didn’t bother trying to make it rhyme. I think that if you try too hard to make stuff rhyme, it subtracts from the meaning. And the reader starts getting caught up in the rythem rather than swallowing the feeling in the words. but anyways, so this is the first post by me, rachagatorrr. Tell me what you think. i sign off with a song lyric;
"Pictures fill my head
I feel so trapped instead but
Trapped doesn’t seem so bad
’cause you are here"
-Here with me, Plumb.
sincerely,

so theres this massive smile on my face
she stretches from east to west
and leaks into my eyes
she makes my averagely gorgeous face
shine better than the best
she makes me sit a lil taller
she makes me walk a lil straighter
she makes the sunshine blind a lil brighter
Im now a peaceful lover
cant even remember being a fighter
it seems to be a chain reaction
i think of you and smile
you smile at my goofy grin
your smile lights the room
sending shock waves of joy all over my face
this poem sucks
im still unable to function
how you make me speechless
all the words i try to use are worthless
nothing i write captures
this deep intense joy
that radiates from your smile
isnt it enough you have my breath, my heart
my soul belongs above
all i have left is my mind
AND I CANT WRITE
the english language cant compare
my ink doesnt stretch far enough
doesnt show the colors i feel
when you smile
Love is patient,
love is kind.
It does not envy,
it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude,
it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always preserves.
– 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
she skips a beat
did this really happen?
skip again
that smile
that wonderful gorgeous smile
skip again
promises based on truth
promises based on rock
no air, no fluff
no gobity gook about forever
just us
just the future
just the present
just the skip a beat
loose my breath
fall off balance
and into his arms
in a moment that lasts forever
for the joy and completeness of it all
how could it really happen?
skip again
who could i really fall?
all the pain and mistakes erased
in his kiss
in his embrace
cus its just her
and its just him
its just them
oh
its just us
ill be your firefly
if youll be my man
my heart skips a beat
leaps to yours
because its yours
i look around
and as it turns out
all the people who were here before
definitely still here
havnt lost them
havnt lost love
just lost one
i think ill be ok
pretty sure ill live
cus friendship isnt bout taking
its about the give
so another lesson learned
perhaps i wont rely on anyone now
or perhaps ill rely
on those who have always
and will always be here
im taking a humble bow
love you mom
love you family
forever and always ily
the ole switcheroo
time for another change
something always assumed to be there
violently slips away
feels like a break up
like another lost forever
although this hurts worse i think
cus friends shoulnt be enemies
simple shouldnt be clever
ive gone from heart to heart
"besties" with one then the other
but to loose you
with such swift certainty
it all seems so silly
but i havnt got the time
no, havnt got the patience
for childish quarrels
goodbye
thank you for the brief time
"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."
–Marilyn Monroe<3
A hurricane calm and blue
but something definitely stirrin
i dont fear
the storm
i welcome it with open arms
and a flashlight
stolen away in
my back pocket
the rain let it pour
the wind let it gust
ill stand firm cement shoes
not even Ike tore through cement
my block is built higher
my ink isnt flowing
it jus wont come out
this is so friggin jagged
this smile is so friggin smooth
if only you could see this handwritting
then see this smile
then somehow you would know
none of this matches up
my self is calm, collected
my poet is broken
my block is higher
stronger
brighter
wider
than i can ever remember
how can this be
i dont have words
dont have imagery
cant translate feeling to ink
its jus broken
mirror broken
but stuck
why does nothing explain this
that smile
that goofy grin!!
i dont get it
