One word.

Amazing.

This is like music :notes: in words.

:smiley:
Awesome.

:joy:

I can’t even match this raw talent.

:slight_smile:
Great!

:slight_smile:
Never in a thousand years can I match this…

Today
Is a new day.

Maybe they will see me,
Tears stream across my face in agony
And irony.

If they look beyond
My old trinkets and beaten up
Shoes,

Maybe they will see me.

Summer

Summer of '17
Brown hair and a beautiful laugh,
That damn list and the way she shone
Frazzled thoughts and scribbled figures
Broken rules and stubborn smiles
Top hats and boa feathers
Hours of photos taken and jokes made
Moments I’ll never remember
A girl I haven’t forgotten
Fondness. Nostalgia.
A summer that transformed.
She loves someone else.
My feelings faded with the fall.
But she left memories and smiles.
The summer of '17
A summer I’ll never forget.

I’m not personally fond of this, it’s not my best, but I just needed to write this.

the way your chest expands like stretched clouds and i listen
close to your thundering heart
with lightning, the darkness loving the hinges of your jaw
the twin freckles over the surface of saturn
steel lips, steel hips, steel lungs blowing smoke from the fire under your ribs
burning you from the inside out
i live as an echo in the hollows of your eyes
you can’t see me and i can’t see anything

I’m not good at poetry but it sure is fun to be overly descriptive and metaphorical
