Do you ever get the feeling
like you're going to be replaced?
Like a mark left on a dryboard-
just wiped off and erased?
I know it may be hard for you-
I have those feelings too.
The feeling your 'friends' don't like you-
perhaps it's all just true.
Maybe we're all supposed to have feelings
just wiped without a trace.
Alone, lost in anonymity-
hesitating to sprint in life's great race.
Maybe one day I can find someone
who'll always treat me like I'm new.
Until then- a long time, I suppose-
I'll just write away my blues.
His eyes were thunderous clouds
waiting to spark a conversation.
The murky gray depths of his irises
captivated me as he grabbed my hands
and before I knew it, we were twirling around the room
waltzing hand-in-hand like professionals
laughing like long-lost friends
whispering into each other's ears as we realized
that perhaps we've found our soulmate.
We urged others to join us
and created a baile for other seekers
and hopeless romantics like us
who hoped that one day,
they could find the closeness that we found
dancing in the building that created
a future for two young people
and a lifetime of happiness as well.
Las piñatas están balanceando
Los niños están contando
yo estoy feliz,
pero el cielo está gris.
Me haces muy feliz;
no quiero ir aquello.
Pero tus ojos son gris
con los nubes y el cielo.
Y cuando yo sé
que no me quieres,
yo quiero llorar
con la lluvia de los nubes.
Las piñatas están balanceando
Los niños están contando
y no estoy feliz
y el cielo está gris.
My hands stretched out unto the sky.
You won't believe what I saw:
beyond the bugs and wild fowl
I saw an angel, lean and tall.
He had six wings as white as clouds
and he had a Holy Bible.
He called unto me; I yelled aloud
"What do you need, archangel?"
He smiled upon me gladly
and gave me the book he held.
"Take this," he said, "and preach it to the angry,
the poor, the rich, the swell."
"Help me spread the word," he commanded
"Help others see the light.
For you won't be reprimanded
If you're like a beacon: bright."
And suddenly he disappeared
without a single trace.
I just smiled ear to ear
and spread a memory I wouldn't erase.
'Life' is such a subjective term
depending on who you are;
it can be short-it can be long
much like a year or weather.
Why do we rely on time
to help decide our actions?
Love, trust, and hopefulness
can be shared, and are not sins.
May your life be filled with glee
instead of fear and sadness.
I hope you'll be the best that you can be
and give others a sense of gladness.
People say poetry
is just words that rhyme.
The feelings that appear
will go away with time.
But what if I told you
it's way more than that?
It's an art form
a life form
that can't be shoved under a mat.
For poetry is more diverse;
far beyond the eye can see.
It's a hiking trail for some
but for others it's like the open sea:
somewhere you can scream and shout
and show your expressions clearly.
But maybe for some others
it's like Poe: a midnight bleak and dreary.
So instead of just calling it 'words'
you can try it out some time.
And maybe it will come naturally
with or without a rhyme.
I opened a book
and what did I see?
The letters meant nothing at all to me.
They whispered their phrases
as I sat still
and soon I felt something; perhaps a small chill.
I watched as they stopped
and stared at me
and soon I realized: books were to feel things- not just to see.
I took a walk in nature,
I watched the flowers bloom.
I stopped to smell the roses;
I got away from the usual gloom.
I hiked along the muddy paths
drying under the sunny sky.
I managed to walk nearly all the paths
and I never noticed the time fly by.
I got to clear my mind that day
I was honored to see the wildlife walk.
The deer were leaping, the birds singing;
I listened to them and never talked.
It's rare to have some time
to spend it on days like these.
I'm just glad I got in touch
with all the natural things I need.
I remember watching the clouds roll
like the emotions deep within me,
stumbling to find a dry path in rain
like a clear thought in my mind.
I remember hearing the thunder just outside my window
like the screaming in my head
only getting
louder
and louder
and louder
until it all died down
like the beautiful, deceiving weather that comes
before a tornado touches down
and creates a larger disaster than before.
The hero of this story
is not who you think he is.
It may come as a surprise
that he is actually a kid.
This child was wrung with illness.
It was fast-growing and made him weak.
The illness- which was no surprise-
was cancer, so to speak.
The thing about this hero
was that he never gave up.
He always held on tightly
he never once was shaken up.
The hero of this story
grew into a teenager- a young adult.
He helped others with the same illness
and they too had bright results.
Yes, he still had cancer.
That never made him obsolete.
He could still match anyone else step by step
and he could remember all the people he'd meet.
He never took g

The perfect glass smile,
Complimented by an intricate fan to extenuate,
The beauty in her dagger filled eyes,
To describe her elegance in words is to exasperate,
The nuances of language and the strength of my tongue,
But to gaze upon such a form so pristine,
I would brave a thousands dangers to count myself among,
The thrall of admirers that throw themselves at her feet,
Alas, to consort with a man of the looming mountains,
Would be the highest scandal for a woman of the gentle valleys,
Yet still, for one kiss I would beseech a thousand pardons,
To her prestigious pure-blood heritage coveted by her honorable family,
Alas, that fate decrees my

Hey there! Sorry if it seems nothing's been going on recently... it's because I had eye surgery last Friday and I haven't been on any screens too much! Everything turned out okay, and I'm searching for new inspirations to write poetry about right now...
If anyone wants a poem, feel free to tell me. I'll do whatever as long as it isn't 17+ Mature rating. I need the practice and I'm out of ideas. If you're not happy with it, I'll do another until I get it right. Thank you for your time.
I'm @MeganBoss98, and I'm a #NewDeviant. Here's a bit about me:
I'm a new artist looking to discover new forms and techniques of art. Digital art is new to me, but I've drawn with pencil and paper for years. Thank you for taking your time out to read...
