ReplyDeleteOur Road
ReplyDeleteOur road ran straight (Metaphor)
With no one to slow us down
We put the pedal down and ran
Through the night
No speed limits slowed us down
As we tore through the country
Screaming and laughing
Though I could not see how she was thinking
I put the pedal down harder, faster
feeling no curve for miles (metaphor)
Like a ghost it appeared before me
The curve was sharp
No brakes would slow us down
We could not make the turn
We plowed into the ditch
With a branch lodged in my heart, (Metaphor)
While she walked off without a scratch
We would never drive together again
Down that road and though sometimes
My heart hurts to see other cars journey
On the same road
Maybe one day I will learn
To drive again and maybe
I will make that turn

ReplyDeleteMy Fire
ReplyDeleteI was the fire and you were the tender (Metaphor)
You built me up with your love
So you would be warm and comfortable
I burned bright for you with my love (Consonance)
Keeping you warm through the dark
and the cold of the world
When you needed my fire you came to me
Until you felt you needed more warmth
You left me for a bigger and brighter flame
Never once did you try to build me up
Keeping you warmer
Making me burn brighter for the
World to see
My flame snuffed out by the cold
of your night
Even though after you left
My embers burned red for you still (Personification)

ReplyDeleteLove is like a thunderstorm
ReplyDeleteThe sky begins to cry (alliteration)
Thunder crackles like leaves in the wind (metaphor)
Dark, dirty, and disrupted (alliteration)
Lightning like glass dropping (metaphor)
Thunder dies
Rain ceases
Forecasts shout (assonance)
No terminal damage
A milder season ahead
A Broken Home
ReplyDeleteThe awakening of the sun came in a sudden burst
With the new day approached a different tune and time,
The big bang stopped bothering the neighbors long ago (onomatopoeia)
Like the bits and pieces that cut her feet
As the sounds of her shouts came to a still, (alliteration)
The hearts that were once one shattered to two
And the once lively house stood silent again (personification)
Shattered
ReplyDeleteMy life is a broken window, (Metaphor)
I know there’s something left for me
But I can’t make up what it is
Because I know we are meant to be
I regret the wasted time
When you were mine
An eye blink and you were gone
Quick
Do you remember all the things we wanted,
And all the memories we haunted?
We floated like a river,
You brought sweet to the bitter
And now I am standing here
In a silent sea slipping out my eyes (Alliteration)
I am drowning,
Weak and wretched
Holding onto the feeling you left behind
I am Rose
And you are Jack
A story like Titanic (Simile)
Losing all I cared about
I love you enough to let you go
And I promise I will do better
Because you taught me that I matter
And I realized at the end,
While sadness is my friend (Personification)
that every person we care about
Is just another loss somewhere down the road
TOXIC
ReplyDeleteLove is a poison, (simile)
It has no cure
It is infectious and cruel,
With no visible cause
Nothing can save you,
Nothing will slow the spread
It strikes silently, slowly, and swiftly. (alliteration)
It moves its way through the body,
It takes you by surprise (personification)
It goes for the heart
Strikes the strong
Helps the weak
But in the end
It overwhelms you,
Some bring it to their grave
Others move on.
The Absolute Abyss
ReplyDeleteLove is like a dark hallway, (simile)
Stumbling through it
Trying to find the place you were before.
The silence is deafening,
The darkness is frightening
You muster through it,
At last (assonance & consonance) you find the end of the hallway
You find a door,
The slightest sliver (alliteration) of light is there
You reach for the doorknob….
Black.
The river
ReplyDeleteLove is like a river
It flows on and on
Its forever moving -assonance
But trust is not
It can sweep you away
Drowning and disintegrating away-alliteration, imagery
Forever wandering away consonance
Hearing Music
ReplyDeleteNote after note, the melody plays
Every sharp and flat grabs at your heart (Personification)
The beat hits you, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! (Onomatopoeia)
Once the song is finished, you play it over on repeat
The mundane melody starts to become repetitive (Alliteration)
Its specialness is forgotten
All that remains is a vague memory of lost feelings

ReplyDeleteLove is a Journey
ReplyDeleteBy:Rachel Johnson
Walking down the silent path(personification)
There are no others on the path
Feeling alone but walking weakly
Encountering something it takes over all of me
Walking strongly now
Protected from all obstacles
Occasionally tripping but always picked back up
Stumbling you fall
Bang(onomatopoeia)
This time you are not picked back up
Picking yourself back up
Continuing the journey
Learning and laughing (consonance)
Discovering and Daring(alliteration)
Jumping over the branch covering the path
Finding Love
War-like Love
ReplyDeleteBy: Andrew Webster
Our love is like a war, (simile)
a tug of war, (metaphor)
Each desperately trying
To win over the other
To know the other
Is to win the war (alliteration)
Every battle,
More gruesome than the last
Some victories
Some losses,
In the end
Devastation

ReplyDeleteTruth of Love
ReplyDeleteLove can make you
And it can destroy you
Like a labyrinth you can get lost in it alliteration and simile
The sea drowns your thoughts personification
A joyful ride
Supplying memories
Nothing is permanent
The moment has dissolved
Now only the memories remain
Where did the promising word of forever go?
Controller
ReplyDeleteAddicted to a game that I don’t want to play
Breaking bones will do, but my heart is what pays
I think I will win even though you won’t stay
I know I should quit but without you I’m grey (metaphor)
You end up on top, leaving me in the dust
There’s nothing to do but feel blue and go rust (metaphor)
I should not be played out of spite or of lust
You win this round but next time, I must
Feelings feel right even tho they’re so wrong
These games that you play aren’t some silly love songs
I know pressing pause would not take me too long
But stopping right now, where would I belong
Your heart seems to be as dark as the night (simile)
Crack goes my heart, should've put up a fight (onomatopoeia)
This level is wrong but what can be right
Just forfeit this round, turn it off, say goodnight

ReplyDeleteWhat Could've Been
ReplyDeleteShe is nothing short of magnificent,
With her hair blowing in the wind,
The wind trying to separate us from each other (personification),
Nothing of great magnitude could ever split us up.
Her face when she looks at me,
Pitter patter pitter patter, my heart goes (consonance),
Her smile bright enough for anybody else to look away,
Missing out on the beauty that is presented before them.
She’s as friendly as a innocent child (simile),
Tendencies pulling me away from her,
Reminding me of my insecurities and doubts,
And what could've been a marvellous gathering.
Dirt bike
ReplyDeletePurr the dirt bike sounds (Onomatopoeia)
You get an excitement
In your heart
Curing the broken scar
The selection is tedious
Time and money demands (Assonance)
Hours and days on end (consonance)
Make some changes to her
Do not respect it
It gets destroyed
Needs to be perfect everyday
Might find a new one
Better version
But still have memories of the old one
In the end you will find the one

But rarely stopping
The final destination may hurt
Beating Heart

Forever here to stay

DeleteAbandoned
ReplyDeleteI never heard you leave (assonance)
You never said goodbye
The day you left I did not cry
The truth was foggy (personification)

You are now

ReplyDeleteLittle Did You Know
ReplyDeleteRunning for your life in the kitchen
Your dad is chasing you
He is a monster (metaphor)
He catches you and picks you up to throw you over his shoulder
You laugh until you no longer can breathe
Lining up all of your stuffed animals
Performing your favorite Disney song
Driving home in the dark
Making up pictures and stories
Realizing you are almost home
Only to pretend to be asleep
So you can be carried to your comforting bed (personification)
Falling off your bike
Crying and screaming like your broke your leg (simile)
Blood dripping down your leg
Little did you know that it would heal
It will heal better than any broken heart

Little did you know
Growing up is terrifying
With the greatest fear of all
To love

ReplyDeleteSweat
ReplyDeleteAlways thick on ice
Never cold to the touch
The aroma brings tears to my view
Ecstasy pouring from the pores (Assonance)
Sharp like blades
Cutting to the heart
You drew me away
Those glistening eyes
Inconstant throughout the day
Creating a new crisp smell to see (Alliteration)
Sweat drips
Splashing on the ground
Ecstasy increases in rage
Fighting at his power that rains above
The blood and sludge
Oozing outside of me (Consonance)
Kills me to know
The once perfect boy is gone
Rapids of Love
ReplyDeleteDangerous, sudden, spellbinding, (Consonance)
Drawing towards the precipice
Inviting you to plunge in
A moment's hesitation (Assonance)
Peaceful, serene, familiar
Arms embrace you (Personification)
Strong, protective, dangerous
Arms that felt so safe,
Suffocate your soul
Fighting to get free
Stifling, terrifying, smothering (Alliteration)
Arms finally surrendering you to the surface
Floating, stagnant, relief
Gasping for air, filling your lungs
Only to find your soul vanished
Forever broken
Forever beyond repair
Forever cold
Spencer Van - Dreaming
ReplyDeleteLove is like a dream (simile)
An endless world on imagination

Scary
Horrible
Eventually you wake up
You realise it was only a dream
And never dream that same dream again (alliteration)

Moments

ReplyDeleteSmooth Sailing
ReplyDeleteSailing freely on open water
The happiness is infinite
It runs smoothly as it should, day after day
One thing breaks, easily fixed
A second, soon follows
As the boat ages more things fail
Catastrophe strikes
The boat capsizes
Trapped as water replaces air
Sinking slowly into the abyss of the ocean

my home used to lie.
