Somewhere between the Pines,
A creature stands in three lines.
Two by two and sixty degrees
(only in threes, hidden by trees).
The stars align,
(Now make a wish)
"Just a little more summer..."

Janus Estuaries Vol. 3, 1.17.24
“Unforgiving Hours"
So much of the year has gone by
Faster as if it could fly
As it zooms by and bye
No matter how hard that I try
To hold on
Every bit of it fleeting and gone
I’d lasso and catch the sun
Were it not so swiftly nor brightly shone
In the sky overhead
When I’m laying in bed
Whether I follow, or led
The time keeps on racing instead
Of taking its time
What crime
To surpass the day’s own prime
Without even a whisper from the wind chime
Tinkling in tandem with twinkly stars above
What esper of vesper can be overhead, dove?
So quickly to seasons of love
And onward to some distant place others will shove
Like the days marching on, and over any in their way

Chronically
by Yuki White @yukiwhitetm @sentariana
I'm so tired
Of being tired.
I wish I could be
Full of energy.
I wish I could run
Like a tiger chasing the sun!
I wish I could swim
Like a dolphin bobbing and diving!
I wish I could climb
Like an ape reaching for the sky!
I wish I could live
Like an able human takes and gives.
But you're not me
And I'm not you, clearly.
So, I have to keep living as me,
Tired, Pained, Chronically.

Thieves' Lament
There’s noses on yer trail,
so careful where ye tread.
The road grows ever-rocky
with that price upon yer head.
The bone collector’s wagon
is nigh upon yer heels.
Don’t let yer burdens drag ye down
beneath misfortune’s wheels!
We thieves are all like rainbows,
no good until it rains,
and lawmen need no halos
to put a soul in chains.
So keep yer boots on dreamin’,
and a pistol near yer bed,
‘cause the Devil, he’s comin’
and he wants us sinners dead.

Illusion
Dreams are wishes a heart makes
Thats why we make so much mistakes
We dont create our dreams with the brain
Its like the chess game
If you play with your heart
Your round wont be a long part
If you want to stay in longer
You have to be stronger
Stop creating dreams just by heart
I know thats the worst part
But if you want them to be real one day
Its the power of edurance that has to stay
And the unrealistic shit has to go away
So go pack your stuff
Cause this journey will be rough
Thats why you need to be tough
You ask me what you will need ?
Yeah in first place your feet.

A walk on dry ass land:
A walk on dry ass land
Is something I don't recommend.
Your eyes and mouth want water,
But it's your heart that can't be mend.
For every foot trail you step
Over something catastrophic,
You can walk for hours,
But end up as dizzy as alcoholics!
Now nothing is as it seems
And nothing is as is spent.
You try sending out another message,
But signal is loss - it was never sent!
Now you're criss cross fail
In an over sea of doubt.
You wish it were an actual sea,
Yet salvation never sprouts.
And now you'll never get out right,
If there's even a right at all.
Your safety has been taken
So, might as well enjoy the fall.
Eventually you might be saved,
Yet eventually isn't now.
You give up the wander to build a shelter,
But good luck with that, old pal!
For the desert is a dangerous place,
It's such an awful gamble.
You won't even survive the night
Not with the way you amble.
So just give up the fight
That an offer made only once.
You don't got the guts, kid
You'll end up somebody's lunch.
It's just a hunch.

One day, one rhyme- Day 3330
Thrice four circus swings from up high,
Those who fear heights would say goodbye,
Dangled in elms, sway in the breeze:
Twelve tricky trapezes in trees.

Simple math
For to improve my writing
Be it poem, song, or letter
Another hand
Where I've this one
Would make it doubly better
And to improve my speaking,
I think I've a solution.
Let's see if two tongues in my mouth
Improves my elocution

1+1
1+1= there's nothing left.
The job is done; means I paid my debt.
I had it comin’, seen the perfect theft.
Tallied the sum and deemed I’m not upset.
-
If I had to guess, it’s up to me to clean this mess.
Heart pounds at my chest and I’m bleeding stress.
I did not depress until I reached success.
I feel like a freak at best and this is my neatest yet.
-
This is the deepest bet and I’m knee deep in sweat.
Even when I’m sleeping; the dreams are fresh.
I got a secret, I hope you don’t scream and fret.
My scheme is to beat demons and to defeat the threat.

Pine Trees collapse on the forest floor
Shooting stars fall to land at deaths door
Fingers break, never to write
And lies will fail to do what's right.
Trust in no one ("I'll trust you").
If a picture is worth a thousand words,
Will my cyphers truly be a memory?

This is one of the very first poems I’ve ever written, posted originally in January 2017. A rhyming piece with a medieval Anatolian feel, heavily influenced by Rumi, who is one of my favourite poets.

NaPoWriMo Vol. 3, 4.9.24
“Bedtime Ode"
In my bed
I’m in my head
I’m to be wed
To dreams
In my bed
I’m full of lead
I’m guided to the carpet red
On the words of stories, other’s said
In my bed I am still awake
I am waiting on the yard to rake
Leave me alone with leaves to take
Beneath sheets of autumn will I wake
In my bed I am still dreaming
Of a morning with some meaning
Only seeming
To be sleeping
In my bed,oh bed, sweet bed of mine condemned
Such restlessness to rest is stemmed
How I hate you, how I love you late-night friend
How I still forsake your presence that I might ascend
Oh bed, that I am in
Will your rest ensure my win

Not About Romance
by Yuki_White (@yukiwhitetm @sentariana)
I have been listening to poems on TikTok;
More than half of them are about love.
Of yearning looks where across a room eyes lock,
Of heartbeats so fast, it might burst out of their chest and fly off.
Of holding hands and first kisses,
Hilarious stories and sweet dates.
Of true love and near misses,
Betrayal and heartbreak.
I have been listening to poems on TikTok
And thinking of what I want to say in mine.
I have poems about grief, trauma and diversity chockablock,
But there is not a single poem in there about love, that famous red line!
I realise I could pick up my pen and try
To write a poem about love, romance and heartbreak,
I could think hard and imagine it in my mind,
I have the skill and imagination to skate by.
I love a good story about love and romance,
Enemies-to-lovers makes me squeal with excitement
And fake identities where they keep missing each other by chance
Makes my toes curl and me to grin at every event.
But I feel romantic attraction only very rarely;
It's never been reciprocated and quickly disappeared.
And the one time I heard a guy wanted to date me dearly
I hid in my room, panicked and afeared.
I kissed someone only once under pressure of my friends
And it was so awful, I promised myself never again.
When I was younger and looked through an amatanormative lens,
I forced myself to date and find crushes that were really just pretend.
Not to say I've never liked anyone
But they were few and far between
And, as I said before, they were one-sided and never lasted long.
To be honest, dating made me feel suffocated and like I might careen
Off the edge of a cliff and into a deep, dark lake,
Where I would subsequently drown
In these feelings of wrongness and like I might break
Under society's expectations, of their expected girlfriend crown.
I'm greybiro-ace, romance and sex repulsed but I go by aro-ace
Because honestly it's just simpler than
Trying to explain my identity to every new face
And clarify why I don't have any interest in dating anyone - not Lara Croft or Tarzan.
So, I could try to write a poem about love
But it would be fake, fictional as can be,
Unless romance is removed
And that love is about friends and family.
Indeed, for now, none of my poems will be about romance,
Except for how they're not!
I'll talk about other things that I hope you'll like to listen and glance at
Like how I love my friends and family a lot!

Bookends
~
From the first page unto the last,
Yes, I will stand by you, steadfast.
The weight you hold up lessens true
When my will grants new strength to you.
Between us, countless, profound words
Fill pressing space with praise unheard.
Folded, covered, and bound with care,
There never was a greater pair
Than you and I, and me and you,
To bear the burdens made for two.
You still stand by me, yes, steadfast,
From the first page unto the last.
~
