So hi.
Basically, I've been debating extremely long on whether or not I should make my own little thread for poetry on here.
And when I finally decided to, it took me a long time to get myself to actually do it.
So, hopefully, you'll like it. (:
And some of these things are quite old, hopefully they still make sense to you as they did to me before. Oh, and feel free to drop any comments, good or bad. (:
Enjoy. (:

xoxo, Aimee.


In Between Addiction to Love

Light from a new moon twinkles down on us
And we watch as romantics.
We could not care less about the rest of the world
As they search for us in dark paths.
We will sit here,
Drowning in a sea of a million stars
Captivated and entranced by its movements
And they will whisper love songs we've always known
But never composed.
And each silent mouth will smile,
As we engrave ourselves in timeless words -
A blessing, a curse, a reward, a punishment.
And commitment to nothing is our main purpose tonight
But just one happy moment
Of ecstasy, mingled with regret that we could not
make anything more perfect than now.
And we will think ahead -
No more excuses to the lies they utter.
But let me end it with you
In the hollow, empty laughter
That will escape our lips as we draw the penultimate breath.
Then you and I
Shall see the beauty in aggression
In violent passion
And crimson betrayal.
Steel to our bodies
And in pain, we will find our love.
The last wish of everything to black -
Let me fade away with
You.

May i just say thankyou for making a thread and sharing this piece of work with us. I love your use of language such as:
'captivated', 'entranced'. I have my own interpretation of what it means (which may be wrong). I love the imagery that has been created through your words, very good thing to be able to do. I would love to see more in the future

I wish I could be an idiot.
And fall in love, just like everyone else.
But I'm just a calamity on heels,
Sipping dreams from my coffee mug,
Reading the news about
The knocked - up chance on my doorstep,
that I didn't take,
But made the best out of the night out.
Sometimes I'm tempted to be alone
And just sing about you again and again,
With my eyes half-closed,
But my lips shaped around your name.
Maybe I'm an insomniac,
But it's only because of you.



Well, that was a little bit shorter than it looked on paper.
Forgive the lack of not only stanzas, but also of creativity, as I wrote this one day in class when I was quite bored. xD
Cheerio.

The Empty Canvas of My Mind has been Splattered on By Your Self - Portrait

I live and dwell in the sweetest sympathy
To know that one touch
Can make all the difference in volume.
Life is just another massacre
And the blood we spilt
Through just one night
Has caused no more than just a scratch
On the walls where I count the days
Since I was last
The covers on your bed.
Make me a promise -
Vow that we will never submit to commitment
Or to ourselves.
Is there anything else in this world
That matters more
Than the pleasure in pain
With you?
Apathy is no more than an emotion that is
Lack of empathy,
And filled with emptiness.
I could not care less
About nothing but the irony in metallic words
And the mechanical brush
of your lips on mine.

Dance with me one night
And, for once, you will feel alone.
Maybe you're a bit off - tune
But no one can hear you
Except the stains on the sheets of your heart.
So shake up my life, baby.
My bedroom is calling for you and I.
We could start something new, love
And I promise you that you'll love it.


Beautiful.
Your destruction, I mean.




I honestly don't know what in the world ran through my mind before.
This poem was dated around two years back, I think? xD
Comments on the past two? (:

Poetry was never meant to be sung,
So, here I am, singing the story of my life.
With colored paper and dying lyrics,
Shaped like the last piece of my heart,
Tucked inside my drawer.
My palm,
Your name,
Scratched on with something
I know isn't ink.
Did I scribble you onto my mind so much
I forgot myself?
I still know how to spell the sunsets I stare at,
Paperclipped to my eyes,
And never knowing why.
Watching the stars appear one by one,
Making me feel,
Like it's worth being a romantic.

Death's Poem
Don't spill the tears
That's just a waste of breath.
Heavy hands, short words
Until there's nothing left.
Accept the reality
There was nothing more than a lie.
Naivety has bought you
Nothing more than a little time.
Don't stop your running
The malice is on your heel.
You jumped in, you went too fast
And now you cannot feel.
Don't say anything
There's nothing more for you
Heartbreak will always take its toll
And nothing will remain true.
Accept the truth
That nothing can save you anymore
Your mind is broken, your heart, confused
You're knocking at my door.



Ohai crappy title. xD

For My Friend

Darling,

Don't cry. The world was never made for tears so precious,
So valuable,
To spill on nothing but cold marble.
Why, love, why? Why the shortness of breath?
It is never worth the sorrow.
Must you let unhappiness reign?

How cruel, how horrible.
The softer sobs and silent screams.
How weak, how fragile.
The shield that guards your heart.
How beautiful, how real.
The smile that graces despite all.

Life is not made of luck
Nor chance.
It is made of choice,
Of paths.
Why do you choose the darkest road?
I understand.

And so, as you walk,
You glow.
Seen through the overgrowth,
And so it shall no longer be overcast.

But you need not walk alone.
So many steps you have taken
And so many times you have thought to turn back.
So many times you fall,
So many times you rise again.

Each step I will take with you,
And will turn your head as you look behind.
And each time you fall, so shall I,
And each time you rise, so shall I.
And so I will do much more.

Each smile you smile,
Each tear you shed,
Each scratch you procure,
Each triumph you acheive,
I will be there.

Darling,

Do not cry. The world was never made for tears
So precious to me to fall.
Each saltwater droplet I will catch,
Until there is no more.



Originally, I wrote this for a friend whilst she was relating to me what had happened to her - why she was so down, why she had cried for no apparent reason.
Hopefully the poem conveyed the message I wanted. xD

If falling in love is so easy,
why do I keep tripping over my feet,
over my words?
Not even writing a love song
can save me from tying my own tongue down.
Because my mouth is bruised,
but my heart is swelling.
My knees are scraped,
but my hands are shaking.
If loving you is like a drug,
and life always needs are reason to happen.
Then you are my ecstasy and my purpose,
and the reason why I'm always singing.
No more but a tango in my mind can satisfy,
because my lips betray my thoughts.
But the way you make me feel makes up for every word you haven't said.
And the way you smile puts out all the stars but the ones in my eyes.
If falling in love always feels like this.
I'll keep tripping over my feet,
over my words.




sorry for the lateness.

aimee, i've said this before, but in a short and not meaningful enough way.

i love your poetry, really. saying you have talent is an understatement. your stuff is just amazing. i love the way you write and i swear, if those words don't make you famous there's something very wrong with the world. you have so much talent and i look forward to anything else you may write in the future. <3

I am a pick-up truck.
Picking up dreams or just picking up.
And you are a hurricane in your room.
Singing songs I wish only I knew.

We are a telephone ring.
Ignored until the media starts to sing.
They are a hole in my head,
Ironing out the sheets of your bed.

She is a dawn on heroin.
Beckoning the sweetness and the sin.
He is a starless building,
Shooting darts before he starts crumbling.

I am a fading pen.
blotting out words as fast as I can.

So this is what it's like,
to become an inanimate object.

lame, i know.
rushed poem.

I love, love, love your style of writing. Seriously.
And the way you choose certain words (that makes no sense but whatever).

"With colored paper and dying lyrics"
and
"Because my mouth is bruised, but my heart is swelling."

really stood out to me for some reason.
Geez, you have talent

:D
