Poison of an Aching Heart
How do you make a heart stop loving?
How do you kill a feeling?
Love is soft
like a whisper
It sneaks into
your memory
I love but
it isn't wanted
so I cradle my broken feelings
the glass shatters, over and over
slicing through my heart
and then I'm back at the start
the pain I suffer
has no effect
The love only grows stronger
a blinding light
that fills my heart with joy
throbbing to the beat of my pain
I love
therefore, I am less important
I try
to extinguish the flame
for my misery is his shame
but it burns brighter and hotter
burning my flesh
and the smell fills the air
acid for my lungs
leaving me alone
in the poison
of an aching heart

Random
I don't know what to write
Maybe if I had better sight
I'm as blind as a bat
When it comes to pulling things out of hats
I'm supposed to have a metaphor
I don't know what those are for
This poem is like a terrible movie
The kind that's supposed to be groovy
That cat sat on my hat
What cat? Whose hat?
That cat is a pig
Who likes to dig
She is a horse
He finished the course
I yelled ‘WOW'
Stop that cow
Piper pepper picked pecky birds
I like cheese curds

School is an Unprosecuted Murderer
What do you do
when all the signs point against you?
When you suddenly have to much to carry
and life seems less merry
You're killing yourself with stress
What a huge mess
A smack down of expectations
Oceans of limitations
All I do is worry, worry, hurry
Faster, faster!
Yes, of course master.
I am driven by duty and my own
Sleepless nights are my prize
rings around my eyes
A cease fire
is my desire
But my heart must go on wanting
It stares, taunting
I feel like crying
dying
of exhaustion

Silencers

Wind on my face
Whispers in my ear
So many voices
I cannot hear
They push and they nudge me
but I just close my eys
Too many choices
I cannot see past their disguise
I feel like dissappearing
Vanishing into air
Too many awkward gazers
where all they do is stare
Not anymore
I opened up a brand new door
I looked inside
and listened to me
what I saw
set myself free
Now they push and nudge me
My eyes well they don't close
and now the only choice is
to listen and decide
To go where my heart will take me
and take it all in stride

Sister of Heart
Sister of heart
Sister of soul
How can I tell you
what my mind knows
To explain my reasoning
Is a distasteful seasoning
Sister of heart
Sister of soul
Sister of mind
that is unknown
When I am falling
It's you I am calling
To ease the pain
You keep me sane
Sister I love
I hurt as well
I cause pain to swell
in your heart
Sister I know
we don't always see
each other perfectly
But try I will
endeavor I shall
The laughs and love
I'll never forget
the day we met
Sister of mind
Sister of soul
It's you I shall always owe
My gratitude
My protection
Sister of pain
I will share mine
and take yours far away
Sister of anger
Hatred is fine
but keep close in mind
also is forgiveness divine
Forever or longer
I will not let our differences
change our hearts
Forever together
sooner apart
Sister of soul
Sister of heart

Summer Peace
Wind blows on the acorn tree
Musical silence washes over me
Rustle of leaves
Chirps of birds
The sound as I breathe
Tinkle, twinkle the wind chime says
As it watches the sun put the world to bed
The sky is pink, then orange, then red
And finally black with light shining through
Showing us stories that are true
