But here are some more poems to read at your leisure.
Nobody Compares 2 U
10- i miss you, your scent on my living room couch where you first told me you loved me
9- reminiscing infinitely of blessings i took for granted, your lips soft in my memory
8- silk smooth skin, our first kiss under the moon in golden willow park
7- i love you, i said between breaths, words stolen from time, too early? or too late?
6- ghost touches linger on my arm where yours used to lay
5- you’re gone.
4- you left me with coffee stained glasses and lipstick marks, taunting cherry red
3- i’m learning to forget, drowning in bottomless bottles of liquor i know you never liked
2- a place so hot and wonderful once, now a haven for my sorrow and cries, my bed
1- in the darkness of my eyes, your figure ever present, i cannot think, i cannot sleep
0- snapshots of you, your hair, your smile, leech in my brain, oh how i can’t forget, because nothing compares to you.
3 am thoughts
seventeen years
roaming these same
plain nights
kicking rocks
under these same
street lamps
loveless
a little
too busy planning
the future
to play
in the present
regret floats
like storm clouds
i shouldn’t
have wasted
my youth
on bullshit
like the college board
seventeen years
with no teenage nostalgia
to reminisce on
just lonely nights
me and the textbooks
Dead Poets Society
Carpe Diem
Means seize the day
Let not the rigid society
Limit you from freedom
Passion of words
Boundless feelings on paper
Life takes form in ink and letters
Loved
Envied
Revolutionized
Literary paintings that say
Take a chance
Wait not for tomorrow
What can be done today
Lead by heart
Use these vowels and consonants
As your escape
Into a safe haven paradise
Among the terrors of reality
Remember the phrase
Carpe Diem
alexa play ribs by lorde
we will never feel this young again
to be eighteen and free
this is our golden hour
we rename “teenage years”
Eugene
so strange
syllables sticking
like goo
from your tongue
so dissonant
icky feeling
spit it out
who are you talking to?
so sweet
on the contrary
like candy
for the first time
so gentle
with kind eyes
a warm smile
consonance
all the yucky
washed away
with a personality
so clean, so pure
all the boys
i’ve ever known
twice as cute
as letters appear
fear not
cacophony
for behind lies
euphony
The Love Club
everything will glow for you
soft peachy sunlight
kisses skin so smooth
caught amidst life
a glory of revelation
hands out the sunroof
hot summer heat
fuels our teenage ambition
hearts ever longing
air in our lungs
dreams in our eyes
welcome to the love club
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
