I am not very good so don't expect much!

 

Royal Purple Curtains

Royal purple curtains
Billow in the wind
As I gaze to where 
We used to kiss

Lush green grass
Spoiled by overcast clouds
And I long for you

But all is lost 
For I have sent you away,
My foolish heart tricked me,
Tricked me by loving an other.

No turning back
I continue on...
Head held high
Ready for life

And now...

Royal purple curtains sag
My love is gone;
I sent him away.
My foolish heart
Loved an other.

Words Can't Describe
The words seems as though
To come from within
But truly, I am making them up 
As I go.

What can I say to you 
That will make it clear,
I love you.

Those words I long to say
But love itself keeps me from saying

I once criticized you
And now I see,
That the criticism is for me.

This thing I feel...
Love.
This thing called love
Can't be put into words
Its intensity, its longing,
Words can't describe.

Falling in Love Again
Jet black skies over my island heart again
Sadness, over whelming

He comes,
And love begins
The beautiful things: his eyes, his smile

Jumping into silence
Hoping that my love awaits
Arms wide
Embracing...
Love

And
Jet black skies faded 
Into scarlet beginnings

A Night with the Fountain Tribe
Running
The air is damp
And the dew on the grass sticks to my feet

I am in a rainforest
Exotic birds squawk 
In the distance

Men are behind me
They have weapons.

Yet, why I run,
I do not know
But an urgency 
Ecompasses me.

I reach their
Place, 
Their holy place:
A fountain
Engulfed in 
Red banded polypore.

I climb
And the mushrooms bend 
Under my weight
At last,
The top.

The tribe seems so small
From where I hide,
Among the 
Mushrooms.

Without warning,
Arrows swarm the air
And I am surrounded.

I jump
Falling freely
Covering my face with my arms
To protect myself from 
Another swarm of arrows.

A thud envelops my body
I have hit the ground.

My eyes open...
I am in a park.

Hurriedly, I stand up,
Ready for anything
But nothing comes

Looking down
I see the fountain
Now miniature

And the tribe,
Diminutive.

A few steps over
And I see the Sahara Desert
But everything is so small.
I point my finger, yelling
"I WANT TO GO HERE!"

"Hey! What are you doing here?"
Interrupted by a man and his child,
I flee

Feelings of Despair

Ironic isn't it?
That poetry comes only when
Tragedy strikes.

Poetry,
Extracted from our very 
Being,
Feeds off pain
And suffering.

Born from the 
Passion in us,
Dies within the
Dream of love.

Only from this
Feeling of despair
Can beauty emerge.

Ironic isn't it?
That one can not 
Stop the bad from
Entering with the good

So I say to you,
Be passionate,
Feel pain,
Suffer,
And dream of love.

I Am

I am an artist
As a cheetah loves to run, 
I love to paint.

I am a sushi-eating
Rugby-player.
A fashion designer
Wannabe.

My hazel eyes turn GREEN
When I cry
Sorta like how
A tree's branches
Sag in the rain
And all you can see

Is GREEN

Like a Daisy's stem,
My favorite flower.

Oh yes and love,
We can't forget about 
Love...
You've got your
Family love
And your
Friend love
And your
Looooooooove
love.

I am 16!!
Am I supposed to 
Have already felt these 
"loves?"
TOO LATE

I am optimistic
And forgiving,
But mostly 
I am determined
To never be
Alone.

I surround myself with people
But never let them in.
You want to know me?
You're going to have to 
EARN IT FIRST.
