We walked down the stone hallway,
Hands at our sides,
Fingers bumping against each other.
We were never in step.
Our hands were so close,
But never touching for long.
Definitely never holding each other.
No.
He’s far too…
Arrogant,
Affluent,
Annoying,
“Awesome?”
He peeks over my shoulder.
I raise an eyebrow in his direction.
The notebook slams shu-
We were walking next to each other today,
As we do quite often,
But her shoulder and arm kept on bumping into me.
She seemed really off step.
She never leaned against me though.
Using me as support?
Ha!
She’s far too…
Proud,
Poor,
Pretentious,

Oh my only love, you are precious to me
You change throughout the ages, yet you are always there for me
You never fail, and always comfort me
Oh, food, I love you.
No other being on this earth can compare
Your lovely scent, your divine appearance
Oh food, I love you.
Your heart is a glacier
my waves cannot reach,
frozen in time, sinking ships
with your gaze.
Me, I'm just a drumbeat
resounding at random,
like a child I'm wanting
things I cannot have.
But my warmth could melt the poles,
and now your heart is vivid
seeking out a moment
to get lost in me.
When one door closes... by prettyflour, literature
Literature
When one door closes...
I’ve heard the saying
When one door closes, another opens,
I felt the disconnect and the lock clicked shut
It closed for just a moment
Then opened so hard
That it spun me
I went down in a haze of mixed emotions,
Not over my loss but feeling for you,
My wants mangling each other,
Eating each other alive,
Until there was nothing left
But me
When the tears stopped
and you were there, waiting
I ran toward you
Wanting change, wanting freedom
Embracing an uncertain future
For love
Your eyes were like the ocean
A swirling punch bowl of blue and white,
So inviting in their dance
So severe was the pull of your undertow
That I dove right in
Red as roses
Question poses
Eyes meet
Hearts greet
A delicate dance
Words entrance
Drawn in
Bonds begin
Some subtle shift
A gentle drift
Steps slow
Eyes glow
Feelings stir
Passions blur
Walls crumble
as fingers fumble
No single cause
No hidden clause
Hands clutch
Bodies touch
Pulses rush
faces blush
innocent dove
they ‘re in love
Paths converge
As souls merge
Through darkest day
They never part way
past death’s door
dancing evermore
in heaven above
God bless true love
The Pessimist and the Optimist by Octavias101, literature
Literature
The Pessimist and the Optimist
An opposite unlikely
Together, forever seen
Holding their hands tenderly
Unfolded in a reverie
One is a darker nature
Who sees the bitter side of things
Who can not discern the positive
But knows exactly what are kings
The other a sheltered hope
Who lives in a narrow world
Who chooses to disregard
The opinion to be hurled
With one or the other
They are the split of souls
A broken half to the other
Until forever never tolls
The skeptical deserves
Someone, a far cry away
From all he looks down upon
Beyond his haunted casement
A care-free spirit
Would lose her sense of direction
Without a map or sight to lead
Her thoughts, only another
Our souls met long before our eyes
Every conversation held a new surprise
It was so easy, so natural, so beautiful too
My heart wasn't ready for the surprise of you
I thought I knew what I was searching for
I never dreamed there could be something more
Someone who could make me want to change my mind
The rarest kind of love I thought I would never find
Just the sound of your voice over the phone
Is the sound of knowing I will never be alone
You make my heart smile and fill my soul with song
Every day I wonder how I lived without you for so long
Just thinking about you puts a smile on my face
It was so unexpected, but you are my h

I Have a Chance Afterall
Pain and death have lost,
Happiness and Life has won!
God, you make me feel like
I've been kissed by the
Warming sun!
I have no bad thoughts
Nor desires,
Only thoughts of love
And your handsome smile!
You pulled me up-
Up from my wicked grave,
And held me tight and told
Me everything will be ok!
Now I can't fight back
The tears of joy,
That used to be tears
Of pain brought from
Emotional distress;
But I'd rather have
These tears then none
At all.
Thank you for loving
Me and showing me
That I have a chance
Afterall! <3
