    I can be your hero baby
    I can kiss away the pain
    I will stand by you forever
    You can take my breath away
    Lololol don't like that song

    Is it good or bad that I don't know that adventure time theme song...?

    Title: Cursor

    Poem:

    I’m trying to give my again, again
    It’s wrapping paper on unspoken sin
    Swallowing silent conversation
    Bowing down in exclamation
    I’m trying to crease my every fold
    Waiting on someone to shave me bold
    Attraction is not in-season this fall
    And so I hope I die before I grow tall

    What you’re holding in reserve
    More than you know I deserve
    Imperfections elected in sections
    Give me
    Expected, borrowed words
    You see, I’m breaking into thirds
    Indiscretion describes my digression
    Give me
    Some sugar for the greener tea
    Apply most when you’re wanting me
    Dishes garnished appear mostly tarnished
    Give me
    Some time to catch another ride
    I’ll chase my predator inside
    Speedy breathing is all I’m receiving
    Give me
    When you’re my enemy, mine
    Speaking a language divine
    You can read and decide to recede
    Give me
    Not a single thought to price
    But occasion is my vice
    When you’re wrapping with no reserves tapping
    Give me

    I’m not paying a dollar for this
    Not if I can replicate a kiss
    A robot could replace your every touch
    If it leans on memories like a crutch
    I’m climbing a ladder to belief
    Where every step brings new relief
    I’d like to say that I’m trying
    But these lips weren't made for lying

    ^you should become a rapper. I just have visions of that poem being sung in that style.
    But if these are personal, disregard what I said. Keep it your style.
    By the way, I like your poems quite a lot. They make you think, which is something I rarely have to do with poems. That's a good thing, though :3

    Haha, gimme a beat, Calvin! :derpe:

    Seriously, though, I've thought about becoming a rapper (as in, recording some unprofessional rhymes just to see what some people would think). Probably, the closest I'll ever come to that is slam poetry. I just don't have the imagination to take this further musically. That is to say, I don't know much about creating music, I just write words.

    But I appreciate your input. Maybe I'll try something new.

    Title: 'Kay

    Poem:

    I feel I'm riding on the green line
    Writing inscriptions that read "be mine"
    These cards are the wrong color
    And I'm looking for another
    And so I'm walking father away

    Pick another moment out of the bin
    I'll write it all down so I know where I've been
    Fill it all in like dusty chalk
    Because we don't even talk
    There's nowhere to walk but away

    If you’ve got a body and hands
    I’d want you calling me baby, baby
    Make your way home
    And I would want you waiting for me there

    I think I'm going to buy a nice suit
    Pick out a tie and say that it's cute
    I feel choked when I’m the wearer
    At least I’m not the bearer
    Of the coffin taking people away

    These are nothing more than letters
    Written to my local betters
    But if answers are what I’m fearing
    Then all I should be hearing
    Is other people walking away

    If you’re got a mind and some thoughts
    I’d want you calling me baby, baby
    Make your way home
    Because I want you dreaming of me there

    Title: Belongings

    Poem:


    I used to know a girl
    Seas would part at the drop of a hat
    Then I woke from a dream
    There's no beat when the line is flat

    I recall my memory
    Of those times I heard her singing
    I push back the thoughts
    And the tears they're bringing

    Once, I made the joke
    And I would laugh as a played the fool
    Now the story is broken words
    And it's painful to know, as a rule

    Some nights I feel alone
    So I turn around and go back inside
    I'll know what I'm looking for
    When I see it, by that rule I'll abide

    I hear some say
    That's not how you act the man
    But when I think of you
    It makes me think that maybe I can

    There's a drink
    They say it makes you feel alright
    But I didn't know a face
    That I could think of, be it morning or night

    A couple spared words
    To a stranger that I had just met
    Imagined a wager
    Is she the one? Would I take that bet?

    You could say I met a girl
    I mean she's real but I imagined her, too
    I don't remember feeling
    Like this before, what should I do?

    Forgetting what I knew
    And relearning what I've already done
    Because I see a girl
    Who sees a dream of a man I could become

    I don't try fighting
    Allowing myself to float adrift on air
    But if we're meant to be
    I hope your dreams wash me ashore there

    Title: Junebug

    Poem:

    Maybe when you open your eyes
    You could reach out and open mine
    When you don't hate what you see
    That's what they call an open mind

    Maybe when the night is over
    It could happen when we're walking home
    What if our shadows grow taller
    And they don't leave us alone?

    If you could make the time worth waiting
    And be the one I promise to
    You would see that I am finished failing
    Please, let our songs come true

    Maybe it's a bad luck month
    There's a reason why I hate September
    But you're the cutest exception
    I want you to be there when I remember

    Maybe now I know myself
    I'll see that I've got nothing to fear
    And if I believe in May, maybe
    You'll still dance and laugh with me next year

    If you could make the air worth breathing
    Even though I'd do it anyway
    If you could make these words worth meaning
    Then we'd see what comes after May

    Aw, thanks so much legion.

    Anybody can do it, though. All they have to do is put their mind to it. :)

    Title: Mobius

    Poem:

    I'm complacent
    Lies on pillows, pillows talk
    My eyes close
    They give for dances
    All the ones to you tonight
    You're not there, you're not single
    But they're tucked in at your waist
    It's alright
    I'm not either
    I'm worth more than one a day

    Do not want
    Undiscovered, future mother
    Past your prime
    You're not evil
    The dream of a dreamer
    But who else? Is this legal
    You'll never have it both our ways
    It's alright
    Calm deceiver
    If you are God you need not pray

    "I want it but I will not pay."
    "I will not pay if you do not commit."
    "I need it but I will not pay."
    "I will not pay unless I can commit."

    To be onward
    We're looking forward
    You are awkward
    Your thoughts are froward

    Not on clouds
    Quiet, unsupported
    Binding words
    Or waxing candles
    Slipping through the fingerless
    I could kneel, you're so regal
    Do you know my unmasked face?
    It's alright
    You're pretending
    I don't care, you are so fey

    Take a bow
    Disappear, less than one
    You could falsify
    But you don't need to
    All your truths were born as lies
    It's the end, you don't feel
    This was the time and place for waste
    It's alright
    We were made for it
    You're not her, so go away

    "I only pay if you commit."
    "I commit but I will not pay."
    "I only commit if you pay."
    "I do wrong but I will not pay."

    To be awkward
    We're looking onward
    I'm facing forward
    [FONT=&quot]My words are froward[/FONT]

    Title: Bare Attempts

    Poem:

    Dear invisible girl,
    If you were to answer me
    Would you write from
    Across the sea?
    And if you did
    And it left you feeling thin
    A skeleton's shadow
    I'd heal you from within
    That's a promise made
    So I wish you would be
    Like an evening breeze
    Drifting closer to me
    There's no need for sex
    Or for more words
    I wish we could grow wings
    And follow other birds

    There are no words
    For the meaning I would impose
    This silence hits hard
    And shatters all your cold repose
    But if you decide
    You could care for my woes
    How would you say it?
    Nobody knows

    If you're not in the mood
    Or you have given up
    And in your opinion
    I'm just not up to snuff
    Then I could leave
    Leave your life behind
    And if that's what you want
    Then wouldn't that be kind?
    I've got lots to learn
    But wanting you in my dream
    Could motivate me
    To be more than I seem
    But until you decide
    To give like charity
    I guess I'll just know
    Nobody but me

    There are no words
    For the meaning I would impose
    This silence hits hard
    And shatters all your cold repose
    But if you decide
    You could care for my woes
    How would you say it?
    Nobody knows

    Title: At Rest

    Poem:

    Please unwind
    And maybe you could find
    That you are forcing hands
    And pulling hair in single strands

    Without you
    I feel halved in two
    But when you're near
    I am compelled to fear

    Hurting me
    Results you can see
    Behind you and he
    Honesty is ranked at three

    I'd be another stain
    On canvas of blue paint
    Just drifting through the pain
    Looking for something but taint
    Evade thoughts of your future
    Until your breath runs out
    Or I'll take you on a tour
    Beyond all doubt

    Darker clouds
    Smoke and sky shrouds
    Caring for my bruise
    Until all hell breaks loose

    Run away
    Nothing left to say
    What is my line?
    Leaves on trees of pine

    Reading lips
    Giving advice or tips
    While I'm in critical
    But it must be recoverable

    I'd give you my word
    That I'll stay another day
    It's harder than you've heard
    To play the part the adults play
    I try to do only what's true
    When you're acting vain
    If I give myself to you
    Who does remain?

    Title: Two, Please

    Poem:

    You see, she works behind the counter grill
    And everyday I wait, I know the drill
    It's always worth the wait to stand in line
    I work it in my plans, I have the time
    It's not the food they serve, though that's okay
    It's the way I feel when she looks at me
    When my stomach does a flip or two
    As she asks me, "Can I help you?"

    She probably thinks I'm dumb
    The way I stand completely numb
    Should I ask her for her number?
    I reach for words but then I fumble
    But it always ends up well
    I cannot wait until I finally tell
    The girl who makes my burgers
    "I think you're really swell."

    She started talking a little more today
    I almost ran out of new things to say
    Because when I'm asking for her to make my meal
    How could I work in how I feel?
    And if she saw this she'd think I'm absurd
    And she'd never want another word
    With a boy who gets fries in a cup
    And who really eats too much ketchup

    You might say I'm silly
    But when she looks at me
    Everything else is boring
    Maybe just like my stories

    But there's so much left unsaid
    So before I fall asleep in bed
    I'll make a wager, make a bet
    With a side of no regret
    That when she gives me her consent
    I'll be under new management
    With her fixing my diet
    I'll need no supplement

    Title: Basic Brushstroke Walking

    Poem:

    I'd like to say
    That we could both be trees
    But that's not right
    Because you're vines
    I'm growing up
    You're growing on me
    If I were to stay
    And rest like wine
    Crushed and tired of growing
    I am sometimes
    But I'd like to be taller
    And more free

    It was the word you whispered
    When my thoughts caught up with me
    It was the hope you inspired
    When my world was standing still
    You hope I'll remain there
    And I know I'll try to remain me
    And when my words take you nowhere
    My chains will set me free

    Steadily the sunrise
    Drifts over your head
    And my thoughts
    Paint shadows in the air
    You're a tourist painting
    With the soles of your shoes
    Feeding the fires
    With reckless coals
    Am I fast enough?
    I could be
    The day shifts
    Of submarine crews

    I've stared out this pane of glass
    Churning seconds into many hours
    While watching streets and grass
    I'm planting imaginary flowers
    When my character feels static
    When everything turns to intentions
    I'll fix up floorboards in your attic
    And win some honorable mentions
