The Pine And The Palm

Two from different worlds. Worlds unlike, just as they are.

Despite their physical differences they root as one.

He bends with the wind around her sturdy trunk making her feel safe.

She pillars in the middle giving off her love, making the palm warm.

Her beauty brings the cardinals of sweet kisses from palm

His unbreaking bark brings security that nothing will break them apart

Study is she throug...

Love Against All Odds

Some places its illegal

In others its discriminized

Most people hate it


But they love anyways

Boy and boy

Girl and girl


Perhaps more

Perhaps less

But they love


Despite the hate

Despite the fact its illegal

They still do it


They still love...

Love…

The way you describe love makes me jealous. I wish someone actually cared for me like that. I want another relationship. But they always end. I don’t want pain but I want you. You remind me so much of an amazing person I lost. But I’m “too young” for you… you only see me as a sister.. but why, why do you smile at me like that. That’s not normal… or maybe it is. Maybe I’m overreacting. But I want y...

Dear Me

“_You got this, Cora. Really. You can do this, I know. And if you just do your best, that’s enough. It’s going to be okay. You’re going to be okay._”


You’re enough, even when you don’t want to be. Even when you want to break, even when you want to shatter the mirrors, the girl reflected there will support you. I’ll help you, even when you don’t want it. You can hate me for it, but I’ll always sav...

Never farđź’ź

I see you in the sunrise

When the stars fade

and the sky slowly

fills the universe with light


I see you in the morning haze

When the birds make their first call

And the moon disappears

From so close yet so far


I see you in the clouds

So perfectly lush

So beautifully shaped

So peacefully free

From so close yet so far


I see you in daylight

I feel you in the sun

The rays tracing my skin

Warming m...

Love

Those eyes looking at me. That smile got my head spinning. Your so perfect. Your so good with your words and I don’t wanna let you go. Your hands resting on my hips like they belong there. You are my everything. I love you so much.

Stardust

We are beautiful souls, made of stardust and forever intertwined. And someday, time will turn us back into stardust. But that time will never tear us apart. We will grow together into one colorful flower. We will turn together into one park bench where a thousand people fall in love. We will become together the one brightest star in the entire damned sky. And then, back into the stardust from whic...

Keeping It Real

They told us "Nah, that ain't gonna fly,"

Like we were some weird, mismatched tie.

"Too different," they'd say, with a shake of their head,

"You're both just asking for trouble," they said.


But, like, whatever, we didn't care,

We had our own thing, a love we could share.

Through late-night talks and messy, dumb fights,

We held on tight, through days and through nights.

Yeah, people talked, they t...

Consciousness

She existed without life.

She knew not of the love that he had for her.


How he would read to her every night,

Untold fables from his childhood.

How he would play and sing to her every morning,

Strumming infatuation with his fingers.


His warm fingers would caress her cold face,

Hold her lifeless hands.


And when he said “I love you,”

Your eyes remain lifeless,

Voids of blue circuitry woven like v...

Hopelessly Hopeful

I hold our little interactions close to my heart.

We have never truly spoken.

You probably don't bat an eye when I enter a room.

At least, not like my eye is trained to detect you anywhere.

How it can see that it's you simply by the way you walk.

To you though, I'm nothing.

And I don't blame you.

It's not like I'm anyone special.

Why would you notice me?

My hope still lingers though.

Do you ever ...
