Doorway into 10th grade

 A collection of (un)finished poems from 2022-2023.  

I Between ocean and sky

Between ocean and sky

Bearing fire drawn of death

For my life, I would try 

Escape from the drowning death 

Stuck hard at the loamy soil

I cannot take much longer

I cannot linger much longer 

For a past dilemma and gulfs me proper 

No soul, no life, forever husk

I will fall yes at dusk.

I fill my pool of tears,

Say goodbye to the cruel, beautiful world 

Blood splattered, I’ve been smeared

And my last breath, bubbles unfurled 

Last gap and gone, lies my body of sorrow

II The wind and the sea

The storming ravaging sea

That engulfs all that it sees 

Ending all yonder, who were free 

Forever bound lost in screams.

Yet beauty and its art 

Once begins, never will start 

Again lost in forever 

Bound powerless. lost and sever 

Winds sea gaze us upon the moorland 

Who understands of wisps 

And tyrant that pridefully stand

She invokes, free and past, slips, 

Understands the grief and pain

The sea must have 

For she aids in war’s strain

Supports both and hate and suave

Yet she lost her life

Through a painstaking sacrifice 

To extinguish death’s, desire’s trife

And disappeared into the night

She sea became remorseless, 

Lost, and in sorrow, sublime 

Foreverer gone and less 

Than before, past his line.

 III When the tears shed 

When the tears shed

 I stare sitting on my very bed

 The loneliness of the night

 When the moon is in sight

The thunder strikes my grave 

As lights paint the sky

What a lovely sight ahead! 

As tiny droplets of rain 

Come at my face

I know that standing here

Wet is not all in vain

The cold tears fall

I know this is not all

Life has to offer but much more 

Is this perhaps a call?

A sight so serene

One, that makes me forget the obscene 

And all the horrid 

For my mind has never been so clean 

With all my thoughts away

How I wish this was everyday 

Whispers from the giants above

Takes my mind in distinct ways

As souls wander

My mind begins to ponder 

The petrichor, how lovely

My heart grows fonder

Lightning roars through the sky

Somewhere far and high

Maybe this is the chance 

For the clouds to cry

The rain is not meek

Company is all they seek

In our cores, why

So harsh when the rain is so weak?

When the drops dance 

A dilemma captures my trance 

[...]

IV Inside my little mind

Relationships are not for me

Sometimes I think so but

Mostly otherwise

Why can’t I agree with myself?

Fireworks go on in

My stomach

Crimson is my face

When you talk

The way you can smell my hair

In the busy air

Or maybe it’s you asking

What I had for dinner

But you keep running

Inside my little mind

You always know how to make me blush

As my knees came in, I become slush

Or it’s you reminding me

You’ll do well when I do too

But you keep lingering

Inside my little mind

For I’m a lock you have the keys

I get so weak in the knees

Stop being so obvious, You’re so

Blind in the world, so colorful

But you still keep wandering

Inside my little mind

Just like a road not taken

My heart is mistaken

On which one to choose

For my mama says "you["]

Not everyone deserves my love

But you still keep crawling

Inside my little mind

The first two are Flower's works. III and IV are my unfinished works, I sort of abandoned composing them. I wrote some pretty mundane poems since I just started back then. I don't think I improved much these past years but it is summer again! More blogs and writing to look forward to. Below are a collection of pictures I took from 22-23. It was fun being 15.
