i like owl city and fireflies i like owl city and fireflies
and
you like purple and orange
- you like rainbows too
    but i don't see you that way
i hate the idea of words meaning different things to everyone
    when they think whatever they think is right and
i am naive
and love the way a place can be alive and never moving
at the same time
or sometimes, it's burning - but not, really - only
it's uncomfortable, and feels like going too fast
and going nowhere, and stuck in a corner
with someone who you don't-like and like,
or maybe a cactus. with flowers.
and you can't stand it, but you keep it on a leash
and closed, and isolated, and i didn't know

the red swing. It is summer, and it is raining. I love it when it rains in the summer. Summer days are usually bright and sticky and the sky feels orange and ice-cream starts to melt even before I get the wrapper open. I like green better than orange. When it rains, the leaves and the grass look greener, and the sky is grey which is just as pretty as orange, but not as hot and sticky. The world feels cooler when it’s raining in the summer, and everything is quiet because everyone is hiding indoors.

Today though, I’m waiting for it to stop raining because I want to go to the park, and my mom won’t take me there until the rain stops. I call my
i was thinking of thursday. i was thinking of distracted drivers and crossing the road when the light is not yet red
while walking home from school, on a hot monday afternoon, in a hurry because
she doesn't want to miss the first episode of season two, and. i was thinking of
sirens, and nightmare noises that leave scars on a child witness, and the season one
finale being the last episode she could ever watch.

i was thinking of tuesday, after school sports, agressive players and a few minutes left in the game, and
a boy hoping to win for the very first time in his life, and then he would
finally make his father proud. and they would celebrate, and he would laugh
. you are a piercing in my heart, and a sweet
drink that leaves an itchy feeling at the back of my throat that
won't go away. like a lingering aftertaste.

your kisses taste like music, and
flow the way moonlit rivers do, when the world is sleeping - at
midnight - and nothing else matters but. now.

i've tripped, and fallen, and bruised my knees
and crouched down in corners and cried, and wished
for more. than you gave me.

you gave me way more than i hoped for and your hugs
feel like i'm home and everything
is okay and i think of you dream of you wish
wish wish. all the time everyday constantly.

you are roller-coasters, and tattoos,
truth or dare. i've always picked 'truth'
because i hate the idea of
unknown, yet to be uttered
directions, and no choice
but to follow.

do it or face
the consequences.

( and picking truth,
it's only too easy to lie.
a lie is just a 'truth' under disguise. )

i've always lived life
admiring the dress-up, masks,
halloween,
never questioning the illusions,
believing labels, words, guides.

live by this
and get everything you want.

( and this is the ultimate
truth,
no matter how easy you find it to lie.
this is the truth, with no disguise. )

until
forkintheroad, wake up, dream
believe, let go, hold on, hurt, fall, crash
die, burn

you just made me think of a lunatic. it also could have been about drugs, but then there are the people who make the argument that it was just a sweet story with a metaphor. then I'm confused.

anyway, awesome! :P

Hello, I teach 9th grade English, and I was wondering if I could get your permission to use your poem as a great example of concrete poetry. I favorited it a long time ago, and I think my students this year would absolutely love it and that it would inspire some of the artists in my class to create something like yours. Please let me know either way. Thank you!

and i'll be your canvas. you're a

volcanic eruption waiting to happen,
with soft, marble skin and
warm whispers that send shivers down my spine.

you're a blazing fireplace after a lonely winter
walk. a blanket around my heart and
a home, balanced on the edge of a cliff.

you're a thorn and a delicious poison, and my
favourite flavour of dreams and wishes
and promises, and

.

i want to

drink you all in, and etch your
face, eyes, words, soul
into my mind, heart, life.

i want to trace over each mark, spot
scar, everything and
carve it into my memory.

i want to steal just as much as
you've taken from me, and break
locks, crush masks, soak in secrets.and i'll be your canvas. by ~starcatcher42
i want you. i think i might have pushed myself a bit too hard today, because i'm seeing stars and darkness, and the light is too bright, and i'm writing this while

i am on the bed tapping away, pretending i know what i'm saying, and waiting and wanting to see, hear, and taste again, and i'm hungry, and thirsty, but i don't want food, or anything to drink except for

what i'm always wanting, was always wanting ever since that first time when i went why not? and tasted the sweet poison and

you said you'd eat me up

but,
i'm still waiting, and it's cold, in the fridge.i want you. by ~starcatcher42
rainbow stains. by ~starcatcher42
daydream-worthy memories. by ~starcatcher42
koishigaru. my eyesight is deteriorating
like stepped on leaves,
wet and crunched up
after heavy rain, and
the little girl who picked it up
and stored it in a jar,
on the television, and just a little far away,
can't be seen anymore,
because everything is a blur
and my eyes ache
because it misses the way they helped her see the world.

even though just the thought
of you calling my name,
and waiting for me to reply
just murders any appetite i had left,
i'm the one who's waiting now,
and i feel like i'll never stop and you'll never come and i
eat too much junk food
and my stomach aches
because the door is closed, and the right time is nokoishigaru. by ~starcatcher42
