Based on a fav song by Lee Hi called Only
*Only You…*
Submission One!
She danced with him lost in his eyes
His smile
His dimples every time he smiled showing his bunny teeth
“Be my only one,” she thought as she smiled at him, her whole heart warming at the fact that he was hers and she was his
She danced and danced to the soft music, happy tears gathering in both their eyes at all the happy moments they shared and will continue to share
My only love~
Those happy days, the laughter the love in the air and the sweet moments
My only love~
Be my only one~
The sitting in the rain and the first time they say I love you~
Those sweet moments that never seem to end and always seem to go by too fast
He smiled and she smiled both at utter peace with each other
My only one….

@Coffewriter --> why not make a singular napo thread and put all of your poetry there?

Oh..I don’t know how?

Submission Two!
*Stay with me*
She cried and cried-it was so unfair
Even though she wished with all her heart
He couldn’t be with her…he had to die
They say it’s fate but is it?
If this is a dream please wake me up
Please
Every time I close my eyes
I see him, falling I’m falling deep into a rabbit hole. HELP
I CAN’T BREATHE, I CAN’T BREATHE, SOMEONE HELP
Every time I close my eyes I see him, his pain, his past-his smile
Memories rush past me-it’s taking over
I love you so much it hurts
It feels like something is taking over, sometimes I feel in pain when I can’t see you
You’ve taken over my thoughts, dream everything
Falling you…

All I want is to hold her close and take away her pain WHY CAN’T I WHY, WHY, WHY
Why is this happening
Stay with me~
What have I done to deserve this

Every time I close my eyes, I see him in front of me- arms open and smiles radiating in the light
If this is a dream, please me wake me up
Please
If this is fate, why is it so cruel?
Falling you~
Falling you

My heart is racing so fast
Is this a dream? Will it all be over soon? If this is a dream,can you please not wake me up?
Is this true? Is this destiny, are we really made to be??
The pain we’ve endured for so long together, was it worth it? Is this fate? Why is this happening to us?
What should we do?
The years and the pain…
What was this all for?
Every time I close my eyes, I see you in front of me
If this a dream, can you please not wake me up?
Please…
If this is true, is it fate??
Falling you…

Hi @Coffeewriter - I went ahead and moved your second submission into this thread. For National Poetry Month, poets are encouraged to post their poems in a singular "NaPo thread" to see how many they can write during the month of April (ie. just click "Quick Reply" or "Full Reply at the bottom of this post each time you want to post a new poem during April to your thread rather than creating a new one) You can post individual poems separately through the Publishing Center if you don't want them to go in your thread for some reason.


Let me know if you have any questions! Great work so far!

This is the Frequently Asked Questions Thread which explains a bit more about what NaPo is.

Stars…



Loveee....
I never knew what love was
I always thought it would just happen like it does in movies and dramas
There's never really an *age* for love, either
Not a time too
Love is like sour grapes
That sometimes turn sweet in your mouth based on pure luck
Love is like the feeling of happiness you get when spring transitions into summer
Love is when you feel so happy and loved that you want to burst into a thousand different pieces of light and float so high you can touch the stars
Do you believe we turn into stars when we die?
It would be lovely if we could watch over our loved ones and they could watch over us
Beautiful, shimmering stars
When they gaze into each others eyes and feel content in life
When they walk together through the rain sharing an umbrella
When they study together and help each other when they fall
When they visit their favourite places together-hand in hand, eye to eye
When they cry together
Love together
Smile together
Sing together
That's what love is

Submission Four!^^



Revenge…

She strolled through the hallway, black rose in her long thin hand-pale as freshly fallen snow
A tattoo of a a dragon snaked from her arm to her back and her black body-hugging dress complimented her body perfectly
Her raven black hair fell around her shoulders and her hair seemed to have a mind of its own
Her low cut dress revealed the tattoo snaking around her body-rebellious yet elegant
Dangerous yet beautiful
Her eyes stayed confidently in front of her, her head held high
Her eyes-the most captivating part of her would make a grown man shake in his body-terrify anyone to the core
Her eyes were a sharp shade of shockingly vibrant red-mischievous and sneaky
A small smirk was plastered on her lips-luscious and addictive
She had a demeaning bored look in them
She walked through, her heels clicking-the only sound in the whole castle
The unknown object she had hidden in her dress was unknown to anyone though
Haha
She stopped when she reached her destination
She allowed herself a bigger smirk as she pushed open the doors with a flick of her finger
She yawned
Immediately all the heads in the room turned as if in a spell
Why not?
She bowed elegantly
“Missed me darlings?”
She smiled at the fear she had stricken deep into their hearts in one sharp minute
She slowly stalked into the centre of the grand room where a lake lay-seemingly even it was holding its breath
She threw the rose into the lake-unbothered by the gasps of the people surrounding her yet so far away
She was the only one in the room wearing black everyone else was in white and heavenly
Well, she couldn’t possibly be heavenly if she was the devil herself?
She turned to address the crowd of gaping, too terrified to breath audience
She smiled-every inch of her face and smile dripping with evil
“May everyone in this room fall to their death”
She laughed as she exited the room-everyone’s screams lost in the red fire
The fire made way for her as she twirled her hair in her fingers, laughing like a little girl
I’ve always liked to play with fire

Submission Five!

Your beauty never scared me
He howled in pain, distancing himself from everyone and everything
Drip, drop, drip, drop-the sound of blood
The noise is there but he can’t hear it
Hold it all together with a little duct tape
Can I catch my breath?
He slow dances with the tension, waiting for the time it all goes away…
He doesn’t sleep at all
I look perfect on the surface
but
I’m a nightmare underneath
She the only saviour from himself
She, sunlight and warmth herself
She would brush into his cold heart-willingly.
She would make his world bright again, he could finally see
She would smile her way into his heart, not afraid of what she saw or heard
Your beauty never ever scared me…

Submission Sixxxx!



When everyone believes you…What's that like?
He gazed at her
The perfect girl
The girl that woke up early everyday
She was beautiful
Slim. Pretty. Smart. Gifted.
Everything he wanted.
He had a lot of burden he couldn’t escape
She had a lot of kind guys she couldn’t escape
He had a lot of pressure
She had a lot of pressure to choose what purse she wanted
He said things he didn’t mean
She did a lot of things she did mean..
Everyone would love her….everyone believed her
Nobody believed the wannabe boy
The troubled boy
The scarred boy
Everyone believed the golden child
The smart child
The beautiful child
Everyone believed her…
The realisation dawned on him and fresh tears threatened to take over
His breath tightened and his whole world collapsed
And no one noticed when he fell.
It was too late.












































When everyone believes you…what’s that like?

Submission Seven!^^



I loved someone
So much I would give or destroy the world for her
But I saw the way she would look in his eyes
That cursed boy
They would walk off, smiling hand in hand-their eyes locked
He had her fooled
Only if she knew what she was missing out
She plain out rejected me
My flowers lost, rejected, sitting on the ground slowly wilting away just like me
I stopped and my world shattered, pen to paper didn’t help this time
When I tried to voice my thoughts, she called me, let my brain recall….
A jerk
I wasn’t one….but he was
Why couldn’t she see that?
Why was I the only one who was lost and rejected sitting in a pool of memories but they didn’t seem mine…
October finished. So did December. New Year’s here.
I’m sitting on my own my friends surrounded me-I was in my own world
I still see her in front of my eyes, her radiating glow
Her smile- her
But I didn’t feel the same heart-ache as before
Because this girl was one that loved me as much as the other didn’t
I got snapped out of my consciousness without warning
A girl tapped me on my shoulder, concern sprawled across her features
I smiled
I’ll be right there, love

Submission Eight!!(inspired by Andrea-YouTuber)

“Sometimes the person you’d take a bullet for is the one behind the gun…”

Flashback

She smirked, lifting her head seemingly proud and her hazel brown hair falling behind her shoulders
She lifted the gun and smoothly proceeded to shoot
Silence
Well done Agent Red! You’re our best agent and you prove that again and again!
Agent Red bows elegantly
“Can’t say I didn’t expect that…”
She walked away, her mentor staring at her mouth open at the perfect shot even he couldn’t have accomplished
She was known as the best of the best
No, no sorry she is the best of the best.
If she is walking in the halls everyone turns their heads to look at her and gape like buffoons
If she trains in a room, everyone crowds around her-much to her dismay and annoyance
If she says something and doesn’t like something everyone listens and agrees
Nobody even dreams to go against her because they know they will meet their end if they do
Everybody is slightly afraid of her even though she’s an angel deep, deep inside
Except one person
Agent Black
He’s the only one who knows her and appreciates her
He’s the one who she opens up to-the only one in fact, who has that honour
He’s the one who keeps her spirit alive
He’s the one for her



Flashback ends


“Sometimes,” Agent Red breathed, pooling blood surrounding her and her vision decreasing by the second. “The person you’d take a bullet for, is the one behind the gun…”

Submission Nine!!^^
A painted smile
A broken heart
A weary life
Everyday she would go about her daily life, waiting…watching
Her smile as warm as the first summers breeze
Her welcoming aura an enormous hug
Her hazel brown coloured hair dancing in the wind
And when the light would catch in her eyes they would reveal smile lines and weary bags under her eyes
The light would catch the thousands of colours in her “dull” eyes revealing what’s more than told
She would smile and shake her head at any compliments and apologise at any given moment
Her painted smile
She would spend hours everyday painting, a cup of coffee at hand-painting away without a care in the world
But she did
She did have a care in the world
Her painted smile wouldn’t last long
When she got home, safe from prying eyes she would scream and cry and pour her heart out day after day
Her painted smile
Until all that was left of her was a note that said,
”I don’t want to have a painted smile anymore. Sorry.”
