Colvin Wilt, Urbanite: Fri[ends] →
colvinwilt:
I sit by the window nursing a cup of coffee like a metaphor for a wound. Cigarette smoke trails the thoughts that escape my mind and there are swirls of skulls about my head. The morning is cool. 7 am cloudiness that seemed to riddle the sky with pain snatched from my core. I thought about home…

She Writes and Pages Catch Flame: I remind myself... →
shewritesandpagescatchflame:
I remind myself every single day, that I did everything that I could. I remind myself every single day, that I am right, I am right, and I am good. I follow the rules, and try not to take too much for granted. I do what I do and deal with every card that I am handed, with a smile, wink, and a nod,
vanity - a haiku

Something you said
There was something you said
once
and
without saying anything at all, really;
something said that stayed
long after you did;
something said, and sadly
with your eyes and the wild in them
and without your lips and the words between them;
something that sounded
sweetly
and in passing,
something like
“I believe in you”
when no one else would or could or, I guess
even...
Shudder to eat it
Salad bar for lunch. It’s great. Except for when you put way too much balsamic vinegar on it and there is no way to undo what you did, so you do your best to shove it down your throat so you don’t feel like it was a waste…Yah. It was like that for me today.

Papier-mâché
I kept
all of your school projects
from kindergarten
through high school.
Anything I could get my hands on
that you would bring back to me
I would hold
onto to,
marking in ink on the back;
the date, your name
and cramming it into
the already too-full baby box.
As if your abilities to write, rhyme and draw
were second to no one.
Or perhaps in my head
I thought that holding onto
all of it,...

what if
There was no light? Nothing wrong, nothing right…
What if there was no time? And no reason, or rhyme…
What if you should decide? That you don’t want me there by your side, That you don’t want me there in your life?
What if I got it wrong? And no poem or song Could put right what I got wrong? Or make you feel I belong? - coldplay

aaknopf:
If Google Trends is any indication, a lot of you think the world is coming to an end this Saturday (or are at least kinda curious about it). I asked on Twitter which apocalyptic read I should make My Last Book on Earth, and you all had some great answers! Here are some of my favorites:

before we were words we were people, bathed in the light of our lives, a collection of photographs, with faked smiles and over-indulged poses.
before we were people we were children, running freely through what we thought was a beautiful place- until we were tall enough to ride and…

Tyler Knott: What If I Was More? →
tylerknott:
What if I was more and by more I mean more in all ways for all things and by I, I mean this shell of a man’s skin and bones that’s packed full with memories and dreams, heartbeats, wishes and words? So many words and by words I mean all of the whispers and longings and letters tied to letters…
Brilliant!

you break my heart one airport at a time. my hands are tied locked in this tired dance of soaring silver cylinders that take me farther and farther away from you. would that i could stay find a place to land somewhere real where you and i exist in sync in phase a parallel path that sees us walking side by side once again.

Don’t ask the broken

greyhaime:
your words remind me of what I used to be, having lost so much in the stumblings of this road.
I find myself looking for places to rest that don’t ask what are you doing?

shermeanuhh:
Love me like thunderstorms, overpowering and temperamental, sneak up on me midday because unprepared yet willing I’ll submit to the mercy of your mood. Push through my restrictions and drench my world in the proclivities of your passion. Lighting cracks in the sky like God is opening a coke and I hope that one dark night I’ll be touched like thunder

What keeps your eyes open? What keeps your body restless? What keeps your feet moving? What are you tossing and turning in bed? Is it the sun? It can’t be the sun, you can’t see it at night You can only see the moon The sun’s mirror The receptacle of its vanity You only see the sun’s ego Yet you…

He said it best...
”I will mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.” -Martin Luther King Jr
