Poem About My Mother.

We had a homework assignment which was to write a poem about either one of our parents and I chose my Mom, she was a little angry at me that day so I am glad this made her a little bit happy. 

Feel free to critique it and tell me what I did wrong.

I'm particularly proud of this poem, and it's the first poem I've written that I'm proud of.

This is also my first post here. You're going to be seeing more of me here, I've been reading a lot which has inspired me to write a lot.

Mother

My life without her

would be tedious, mundane and bland.

She’s a small sweet cocoon

that shelters me

from the wild, the evil and the foul.

Her smile glows like the radiant sun

that lights up the earth.

I wish I can and relive

all the precious moments I spent with her

and I hope they live eternally.

She’s a voluminous tree

that keeps me shaded

from the wet and stormy nights.

Her hugs are like shields

that keep away enemies.

Her eyes are flowing rivers

of burnt umber paint.

She’s a never ending basket of joy

that lifts my spirits.

Her love is immortal and vast

and stronger than the force of gravity.

Last Breath

Okay, I'm going to feel some INTENSE emotions on Sunday, (*cough*nervousness) so I just have to write a poem.


When I close my eyes at night I think of you
And all I want is you and your blue
Eyes, reading my last thoughts
...And I thought you ought

My heart will speed like an antsy drum
I hope you'll know where I'll be coming from
While I tense up and my nervous fears are still left,
Before it all falls, I'll take my last breath

Of the life I had before, but now it's closing in
But I couldn't take the 'what could have been'
So to tell you the truth I really mean it
There's no extinguisher, the fire is lit

I never told you what I was thinking
And now I see, for a year I've been sinking
So I'll tell you, before I blow
And maybe you'll tell me what I need to know

As I take my last breath of the life I had before
Then I'll be falling, now no one will ignore
Me anymore...Because they know I'm waiting
I'm still contemplating...

But now you'll know what I've thought about you,
Please help me understand...I hope you do


Background: Last night, I had had it. Finally I typed up a long letter for the guy I like and on Sunday, I plan for my friend to give it to him. I'm nervous about it, but I know I need to say it. I can't hold it all in forever. Basically, as I nervously watch my friend give it to him, I'll take my last breath before everything unfolds or creases itself up even more. It's a huge risk, but I need to take it. If you don't get why, do you know the song 'Nothing Ever Happens' by Rachel Platten?

Complete Opposites

I should run away,

I should be afraid.

You're rumored to be a spy,

A master of pain.

Sit down beside me,

A smile as wide as the sea.

Purely enchanting,

The way you planned it to be.

This is a game,

Brutal to the end.

Playing with my mind,

Using your many manipulations.

Complete opposites, you and I

You soar, I fly.

I've got my morals down,

You let all yours drown.

Rejected by your father,

Mine attempted to make me better.

You're dangerous,

Malicious,

Hidden behind all your lies.

I'm open and friendly,

Pure truth in my eyes.

Somehow you've convinced me

To waltz this risky dance.

What you and I have

Is a deadly romance.

How I'd Live

The raindrops would fall and I could feel the sweet cold glass
But it wouldn't be all I had, though to get this, I'd be the last
I'd have those eyes, that sweet smile, I'd no longer have to grope
But I feel that day will never come, and for tomorrow I'm losing hope

Oh I'd dance around with my smile so bright, my eyes shining like the Sun
My worries would fly away to the sky, and I'd ignore everyone
Oh how I'd live if I could fly, and soar for miles and miles...
But today I lack love, and you wonder why this sad girl never smiles

Next fall I'll work my way through the fight,
Battle nosy high schoolers every day and night
I can be kicked by teasing until I go insane
But just waiting curious in silence gives the worst pain

Does he? He doesn't? I always assume not
But what is the true answer I have always sought?
Since the end of last April, I've pondered this thought
Could that sweet trumpet player like me or not?

Andromeda-Poem

I came up with this idea a couple of days ago, but it is the strangest thing you would ever read. I'm going to put my idea in a poem for now, (it's 6:37AM on a school day as I'm typing this)but later I may actually write for it. I must say, it will be extremely difficult.

The war is the past, at least for me
As I burst through light years, out our galaxy
It takes only a few minutes with our high-speed ship
As we sail through space on a desperate life-saving trip

To the one hundred people aboard, the captain shouts,
"Andromeda rests here, be ready to confront your doubts"
I know he is right and I am frightened to be hurled into an endless bowl
As we creep closer and gravity rips us, we're sucked down into the black hole

A roar pierces out ears and we're yanked all about
Can't back out of it now, there's no way to get out
The sky is dark, so ever-frozen, and has no promise of light
Suddenly the brightness inside the craft appears to be a beautiful sight

It takes only a second for an object to come in sight,
We slow down and soon land, but how could that be right!
In this black hole, is another world, like Earth without nearby luminosity
After the captain finds it safe we begin to trudge, led by fascination and curiosity

So here I am today, or tonight as I might say
Hiding behind a darkened veil, feeling like fresh prey
As I watch the girl in the lighthouse light, her eyes fixed on to the ocean
She turns her head and I nearly gasp, each eye is glowing red-I won't dare to make a motion

If I Bleed

The wind rushes through the trees
My cold face can feel the breeze
It's still and ever lonely
Not a soul around, if only

No one cares how I feel,
A reticent girl as cold as steel
But I fight my way into the night
One last look back, but there's no one in sight...

If I bleed, who will catch the drops
When they've fallen, it's like it'll never stop
I slip into the night so no one will hear my screams
For someone to care, I couldn't even dream,

If I could pick one to care,
I'd be unwilling to share,
But I know it's the only thing I'd want for sure
To dream about when I'm sore

But now I twirl in the wind to my own song
It's not mainstream, but that's not wrong
And I sway into the night
Know I'm barely searching for that light

It's out reach, just how I want it to be
But I know you'll never come to see...
Because if I bleed the reddened drops,
He's the only reason they would stop...

Only Light- Poem/Song (Newest work on my blog)

Raindrops fell, and my fingers matched the tap
My old typewriter filled in letters with a snap
What's become of me, as I'm slowly drowning?
Will I ever get my last crowning?

It will only just stay with me
And my tears would fill the sea
So all I can do is write...
It's my only light

I hear a whistle, a voice, a song
But it surrounds me and its feels wrong
Doesn't matter if it's there,
I can hear it, but I shouldn't care

I see a face inside the mirror
Next to my own, then it'd disappear
I can't explain why I am
Only write so you understand

It will only just stay with me
And my tears would fill the sea
So all I can do is write...
It's my only light

Footsteps tap, tap the stairs so lightly
But it's not like I don't hear this nightly
I'm feeling brave and I stand up to see
No one's there, or could they be?

Her pale face is in the mirror
After a glance it'd disappear
I punch the glass for all to hear
...But I still only live in fear...

It will only just stay with me
And my tears would fill the sea
So all I can do is write...
It's my only light

I try to make you understand
But we'll never walk hand in hand...
I'm falling fast, but you won't catch me tonight
...But I still write...It's my only light

The Dive

I peer over the edge of the mighty, vast ship
The sea breeze bites back, its droplets hit my lip
The ice is abroad the sweet scenery
But something seems a little bit eerie

I feel no cold, my nimble fingers are warm
They grip the rail tight enough to survive a heavy storm
Like I can't be blown down, but yet I may
I wish to yell out, but there's nothing to say!

Then sparks flare up over a grassy view
My eyes grow wide as the volcano continues to spew
Out with magma, turn to lava, then the very next thing
I spy a towering lizard, the great Tyrant King!

Its roar pierces my ears, I hear a distant scream trill
I eye the beast with bulging eyes and know it's ready to kill
Even at a distance, I'm terrified for my sake
Until the King roars once more, and then I'm awake

The captain's distant yells ring across the ship,
I bolt out of bed and flee the cabin, cold air hits my lip
Over the ship I peer, the water had frozen to ice!
Sickening snaps and cracks scream 'The thing's about to slice!'

The air is brisk and frosty as can be, but I should not care
In a moment I'm down and the cold sea greets me, to which a breeze can not compare
My dream is dead, but this new nightmare is alive
So I sink my way down in a never-ending dive.
