Poems To The Ones Who Stayed

Explode your senses, feel your bones shake.

Poems To The Ones Who Stayed
Dmitriy Slobodskiy Jr

Blue eyes with the depth of an ocean, how many people have gotten lost in their beauty.

Goosebumps on your skin, steps leading up to your lips.

A liar would be honest and admit to your natural beauty.

Words don't serve their purpose in describing your existence

Your every step leaving traces of Art in its wake.

Shy replies, you wouldn't admit to the extravagance

Fast hellos and slow goodbyes, you love but you don't take.

If words were visible then I would hold on to yours every moment I could because knowing a person like you is something nobody should take for granted.



Bodies, waiting to touch, glistening with want.

The first glance is the first time our nerve endings exploded into a million pieces and now we have never even felt the raw beating of our hearts against one another, but the passion is there like never before.

Hands begging for the other's grasp, lips crying for their match, passing glances at each, you are in each other's minds and haven't even thought about leaving anytime soon.

Your breathing gets harder every time his eyes make their way up your neck, you're a hundred feet away but his kisses are already stinging the soft spots of your neck.

Eyes wanting to discover, hands begging to learn, two bodies waiting for each other's embrace.

Sun and moon, always together but so far apart, not tonight, planets collide, your lips find their destination.

Unstable breathing but heart beating in sync with its counterpart, they said this shit is beautiful, it's not they were wrong, because it's magic.

Lips traveling paths nobody has treaded on before, entire galaxies in your eyes now.

You've been wanting to feel emotion for so long that you are surprised there were gardens of sleeping butterflies still left in you that awoke when he pressed his body against yours.

A body no longer a cage of emotion, a flowing canvas, fresh and full of life, you're painting the picture together, you're breathing together, you're creating life.

Your wrists shake, your stomach contracts and moves, an ocean wave, you are swimming in love, you love him you love him you fucking love him.

Your lips meet again, a simple kiss, two worlds have been merged into one in a matter of minutes, he's different.

He didn't leave.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
