POEMS GALORE! (Part 2)

This piece is called "The Rose." It's a poem inspired by the flower which symbolizes love (when red lol). It's something I wrote in a hurry back in high school, but it does get the message of tender affection across, in my opinion. Please enjoy! :)


The Rose

How could something so delicate be so deadly?
How can something so beautiful be so hurtful?

You give me so much pleasure but bring so much pain.
You numb me with your astounding beauty.

How could one flower put so many smiles on peoples’ faces?
How can a rose mean giving away your heart?

You make me feel invincible and yet completely worthless.
Undeserving of such intricate, utter perfection!

How could I show you the amount of love I have for you?
The one true desire and the sole purpose of life?

I’ll give you a rose – the sweetest,
Most fragrant, and flawless one I could find.
You’re my everything and more – I dedicate this rose to you.

POEMS GALORE! (Part 1)

So... I have a guilty pleasure and it's called bleeding emotions into words, aka writing! It helps me release anguish, stress, happiness, guilt, anything I feel can be carried onto paper. This is the magic of words, and I have a collection of poems I've been writing since... Oh I don't know, YEARS before I came to Canada but I wanted to share those I have written in English :) Yay! These are essentially raw emotions converted into words that popped into my head in order to describe, for lack of a better word, my emotions at the time. I guess you could call it transcribing emotions into words! It's definitely unedited so viewers can experience the raw edge and feel of the poetry. Please feel free to comment! I'm all ears! To start off, I'll introduce one of my earliest works: it's a poem of love. Most of my poetry is of love, but this one... It meant a lot to me because of a dear friend I no longer have. It was inspired by our friendship, although this poetry is about love. I tend to think of friendship and love in similar terms because they are both intimate relationships between two people. It's very common to mistake these relationships, but why should you differentiate? They are just different types of love you have for people. Think of the people you love in your life as cherished moments in life, since time does not wait - but at the same time, emotions and feelings want to linger. It might not make sense, these words, but I hope they ring true in your heart. Without further ado, here's "My Everything":


I’m sorry you had to go through so much.
I’m sorry you had to suffer...

I hope you forget.
I hope you get over it.

But even if you don’t,
And even if you can’t be mine,

I’ll still be here for you,
‘Cause I’ll love you forever.

I’ll wait forever,
Just to get your love.

You’re worth forever,
‘Cause you’re my reason to live.

…You’re my everything.
