POEM STARTER

Submitted by SJ Randolph

Create a poem comparing feelings of love and hatred, and how they connect and intercross with each other.

Poem For You (about you)

I’m gonna write a poem

With no words for you

No more praise

No more fucking prose


I’m gonna write a song

Without thinking of you

And the heart(head)ache it brings

Your name that hurts when it rings


I swear to motherfucking god

I’m gonna write a poem

And it is NOT going to be

About you.


It’s words won’t be

Twisted and scraped

Over our guts/spun into oblivion/dulled like a knife

And **th...

Break Me Up

Break me up into pieces

Little bite sizes

You can consume

Break me up into pieces

Cos I know I’m too much

Too much for you


Here we are again

Same crossroad as before

I know I can’t keep letting

You tear me down

Though I also know

It makes you feel better

Better about yourself

Better about your fears

Better about your past


Thus I let you

Break me up into pieces

Little bite sizes

You can c...

Tangled Flames

My love for you is turning into hatred.

The feeling is like falling down to hell,

A heart being burned by fire,

With no ability to fix the things that are wrong.


My hate for you is tangled with love.

The emotion makes me seem absurd,

Waiting you to give me a determined look,

Sadly knowing that it’s only me who cares....

The Two Sides Of The Coin

there is always two sides of the stories;

Two sides of human

And maybe,two sides of being with someone

A bed of roses has thrones on it,

A rose is the soft part of bed

Cute cuddles,soft kisses, smiling ,

and the laughing

Same goes to the thrones,

it pinches your nerves,

it makes you bleed....

Love And Hate

The bittersweet taste

Of your name in my mouth

Forms a toxic paste

In the back of my throat.


I never thought I could live

And hate

Someone all at once.

You’re like my white dove,

Carrying a message of pain.


These confusing feelings,

Why do they intertwine?

I hate you so much,

Yet I want you to be mine?

It makes no sense,

I’ve never felt so tense!


I can compare and contrast

These feelings of lo...

Longing, Wishing, Waiting

I’m longing here

Beneath the stars

And hoping for a miracle.

That one day

The hate will fade

And love will conquer all.

I have this dream,

That peace lies here,

Covering the Earth

In its warm embrace.

I hope for a love

For everyone

That is unwavering in strength.

Because when I wish

Upon a star

I feel tears burning in my eyes

And I hear my pain

Aching in my voice—

Because all I’ve ever wanted

Was ...

Bedroom Floor

You dont care about me

nor my feelings

you dont carry how I feel

Do you?


You walk all over me

You walk out

For hours

even days at a time


You throw stuff on me

Cover me up

Sit on me

hurt me


You leave tears on me

and the tissues too

You leave me cold

and hog the blankets for yourself


I have been here for you

since you were a little kid

we used to have

such fun times


Now

you stomp all over me

...

Second Hand

Another man’s treasure

Is one man’s trash


What is gold for me

Is absolute scraps

To the whole majority


I came from yelling next door

And stealing change

For some shitty drink


Like some fiend to others

But it was all I knew...

Love Hate

Love hate

Hate love

I hate love

I love hate

I hate hating love

I love loving hate

I love hating love

I hate loving hate

I love hating hate

I hate loving love...

A Rose

It was filled with bitter romance

Petals from a velvet rose

Thorns to keep you far

But hook you when your close

Sour taste when it’s bitten

If you didn’t know the difference

Between loving and consuming

So it keeps you at a distance

It’s dissonant, relentless

Tugging at your tension

Mentioning this conflicition

Will not bring it to repention

It’s a constant repition

On an in and out ign...
