Vapors of crimson
Float around my mind
Only to pervade my pores
With scarlet remnants of time
...
Twinkle twinkle little star
How did you ever get so far
From where I thought that you would be?
Shining with joy, ever so brilliantly
...
I begged her to stay
Not taking into account
That having her leave would make her happier
...
What doth her heart declare?
Why doth her soul despair?
At the prospect of a breaking truth
Facades fabricated by wily youth
...
The sun sets on humanity
As the moon rises in the east
The sky is empty to look upon
But from the earth there rises a beast
...
Forever scripted itself in my hand
A scar made into something beautiful
Embroidering my future over lines present from birth

I am a student at UNCG. I LOVE poetry. My favorite poet is Maya Angelou.)
Breath Of A Rose
Vapors of crimson
Float around my mind
Only to pervade my pores
With scarlet remnants of time
Breathing through my skin
Its very easy to find
The essence of nature
Which is one of a kind
Inhale, exhale, intake
The aroma through my nose
Participating in the cycle
As I steal the last breath of a rose
