I Wish
(I think I should have titled this "This is my first poem ever on here and I literally just wrote it and I don't understand why or how??"
I wish I didn't taste you in my alcohol
(because god, you burned going down)
and I wish i couldn't write a poem about you
(it's all puzzle-piece words and jagged edges anyway)
because you hid her name under your tongue while you caressed me
with those same hands that stroked another girl's hair
(and I should have known when you played the strings of my body for the first time as if you had practiced for years)
and they tell me to get over it
as if you were a lost dog, a misplaced toy
but how can I get over it when it's 4 AM and the moon is lying to me
because there is no light within these dark times
and it's so ironic to make romance out of this
but I have to
it's all I know how to do
They say the sky’s the limit, but you’re my galaxy. -a ten word story
1. Your eyes may resemble a thunderstorm now, full of crashes and blinding lights and startling grays, but every storm clears up eventually. Laugh, kiss, smile, absorb the sunlight until it seeps out of your pores and bathes everyone. Remember how it feels to laugh until your stomach clenches, but in the free, innocent way. Write poetry until your hands are cramping, until your fingers are trembling, until you've filled two and a half pages with wonderful words and pretty prose.
2. Put up walls against the negative thoughts in your head. You are so much more than what they whisper to you at night, their voices brimming with malice and hatred. You are worth so much more than the number on that scale, because all it measures is your physical attraction to this wonderful place called Earth. It does not measure how many lives you've smoothed your hand over, allowing them to relax under your soft caress.
3. Stop worrying about what other people think of you. Even though you may be one voice, sing now, and you'll have a choir. Say things that don't make sense so you can laugh about it for years. When you feel like you're being drowned by your negative thoughts, that's only another reason to push on to reach the light. Your words have value. You matter. You're another string of sentences, a beautiful poem that we all need in an anthology.
4. Take these words to heart. I believe in you. Cliches and painted-on words may not relieve the burden on your heart, or feed air to your starving lungs, but in this world of war and pain and fear, I will lend my hand to you.
-4 Ways To See the Sunrise
Sweet silent Mermaid, for who ?
Hydrangeas in your hair
Hiding your blushing smile
*
I heard a timid voice, I heard them sing…
*
All you cherish is alary wet silk
And a winged Prince
A tie, a tattered dress
*
With you the beloved,
As you sink, flop, drunk,
Three sheets to the wind
With a sylphlike Orchid as a crown.

It is me, myself and I,
About our selfish self
And my host of other folks
And fine ghosts
Flaming forlorn love fantasies

And what if, lost and found,
Feathers blown, shivering inside,
We were already Angels ?

A self portrait as a blue eyed bird
As if we were both Angels
Lines on a fading cliché
Hyphens on a lyrical musing
Therefore out of the frame.

I've had a few ideas swirling around in my head for a while now and I'm finally getting around to sharing them. Enjoy. #writing #writersofinstagram #poetry #freeverse #imagism #inspirationalpoetry #originalpoetry https://www.instagram.com/p/CMXb_Y-LMLi/?igshid=10h5cl96h7uzi
Some days I overthink the things I would like to do and so I never get around to doing them. And some days I'm able to capture those thoughts and write them down.
Still learning how to do basic stuff with my Chromebook. Would've posted this yesterday but I got frustrated and gave up. This was a more impulsive poem that came together faster than usual. #poetry #poem #poetsofinstagram #originalpoetry #writing #originalwriting https://www.instagram.com/p/CNFW5LzLs-h/?igshid=v0qp7flj9ke4
Today's a good day. I got accepted to grad school. I think this is a good poem for the occasion. #writing #writersofinstagram #poetry #poem #photography #originalwriting #originalpoetry #originalphotography #growth https://www.instagram.com/p/CNawf9LLcl_/?igshid=163vjigi4de03
I've been away for a bit and I haven't really been in the mood for writing. I have been writing anyway but it's mostly been grim side. This is the first positive thing I've written as of late. For those who don't know, my father has recently passed away from cancer and my family and I have been dealing with that. We're doing alright but it's never an easy thing to deal with no matter how prepared you think you are. This poem came to me this morning as a woke up, and was the perfect excuse to get back to writing. #poetry #poem #poetsofinstagram #originalpoetry #writing #writersofinstagram #originalwriting #imagism #nature #naturepoem #naturepoems #sunshine https://www.instagram.com/p/COO44slLWvy/?igshid=17n2e9e7p5tmm
It has been a very busy month or so. Despite that, I have still been writing, it's just that most of it isn't very positive and that's not what I want to put out there right now. I think I'm going to focus on very short pieces for a while longer. #poetry #poem #poetsofinstagram #originalpoetry #writing #writersofinstagram #originalwriting #originalphotography #me #suit #jamesbaldwin https://www.instagram.com/p/CO-suk6r9oA/?igshid=1nl3th62h9od9

Do you ever get that feeling in the back of your mind that urges you to do more with your time? Like having free time is something negative and relaxing means you're forgetting something important. Consider this a reminder that wherever you are in life and whatever you have pending on the horizon, know that you are enough and never feel bad about taking some personal reflection time. #poetry #poem #poetsofinstagram #originalpoetry #writing #writersofinstagram #originalwriting #originalphotography #motivation #selflove https://www.instagram.com/p/CRhq9IRrGW5/?utm_medium=tumblr

I've been away for bit. I took some time to myself and went on a much needed vacation. Found a bit of myself in New York and have been feeling pretty good ever since. I also started achool again so I'm going to be pretty busy for a while. I found an old dream journal that I used to keep and got to relive some deep thoughts and memories. The opening lines for this one likely came from a dream I had. Shame I don't dream the way I used to. #poetry #poem #poetsofinstagram #originalpoetry #writing #writersofinstagram #originalwriting #originalphotography #tarot #tarotcards #love #lovers #deathtarot #deviltarot #loverstarot #tarotdeck #dreampoetry https://www.instagram.com/p/CTv0V17rnH2/?utm_medium=tumblr
