It took me a while to post this poem here. I had to use Google Docs… with laptop intervention and custom edits🙃 It was a long process, but I hope you will enjoy reading 😊 Until the next verse ✍🏻 #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet #vss365

My poem titled Umbrella.

…

When the storm comes,
my compass always points to—

you.

You're always there when I'm at my lowest.

The time I broke both my hands,
and you held my spoon up so could eat.
That time my apartment flooded,
and you let me crash in your place.

When I got laid off from work,
for something I didn't do,
you took the rest of the day off,
and we went out for drinks.

My first heartbreak,
you threw a bottle of water onto my lap,
like you didn't care,
and still lent me your shoulder.

I go back and forth with my demons,
and when I do—

you're always there.

So when your storm comes,
and you're getting soaked,
this time—

I'll be your umbrella.

New profile photo 🥳 The wing has grown on me, I’ll keep it as a logo for my pen name from now on 😄 Hope you’re all having a great day 😊 Until the next verse ✍🏻 #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet #vss365

My poem called Golden Light.

…

Through my car’s window,
I see people standing wide-eyed,
staring at the side of the hospital.

I pull into the parking lot,
and walk up to them.
As I get closer—

a warm glow pierces the night.

When I look up,
I become part of the crowd.

In one of the rooms,
on the seventh floor of the hospital,
a soft, golden light shines out…

and flies up into the sky.

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· 12d

Another day another poem 😊 I made this one when I thought “what IS a banquet?” Needless to say, I feel a little… unintelligent right now 😅 Until the next verse 👋🏻 #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet #vss365

My poem called Nocturnal Banquet.

…

I sit at the dinner table,
feasting my eyes on the food I’ve prepared.
I wait and wait, and wait—

but nobody rings the doorbell.

Two hours pass,
and I come to a realization,
one I hate to admit.

Of all eighty people I personally invited,
none will show up.

A nocturnal banquet,
that should have been held for many…

was held for only one.

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· 15d

Another poem from my small journal 😊 I realized it’s been months since the last one. By the way, puppet lines are where your top and bottom lips connect on the sides of your mouth 😉 Until the next verse 👋🏻 #poetry #poetrycommunity #FreeVerse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #ArtOfWords

My poem called First Name.

…

I’ve always been waiting for an answer.
Why my life has its ups and downs,
and another down—

then another.

My puppet lines don’t reach my ears now.
On nights I see morning light,
I remain dreamless,
as thoughts and questions poke at me.

But I know,
I know the answer.
And I also know…

those answers will call my first name.

Would anyone have a chameleon as a pet? I most likely wouldn’t, because I’d rather have a cat. I’m a cat lover 🐈 Until the next verse 😊 #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet

My poem called Chameleon.

…

Survival in a cruel world is hard,
no matter what you do,
some people just will not like you,
but ignoring them makes me feel lonely—

So I learned a superpower.

I morph into their perspectives,
and when I leave the group,
go back to being myself.

Like a chameleon,
I learned to survive in the world,
by hiding myself…

but I’ve forgotten what color I am.

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· 22d

This is the very first poem I’ve ever made. I made it 2 years ago today. It was a time where I thought poetry was SUPPOSED to be as introspective and as emotionally deep as possible, and it shows 😂😅 #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet

My poem called Metamorphosis.

…

The eyes of the people that walk past,
they glimmer with purpose.

But why don’t my eyes shine like theirs?

I sit in my room day in day out,
asking myself the same question—

why do shadows reside where light should?

Then my anxious body went still.
The answer was in their eyes all along.
So I searched within myself,

and I found it.

A fragmented silhouette shrouded in light,
pieces of moments hung by time,
constantly evershaping within itself.
I inch closer to it…

and hold myself in a long embrace.

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· 26d

I made this poem after I drank some lemonade I was craving. Stay safe out there 😄 #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet

My poem called Lemonade.

…

He planted cherry blossoms in his yard, hoping he’ll sip lemonade under them.
But a few years later,

the world noticed his missing footprints.

Many springs come to pass,
and a girl in her twenties sits under them,
a glass of lemonade in hand…

along with a photo of her late father.

Another word invented: Inanix (n. poetic) From Latin: inanis (empty) + nix (snow) Definition: A tranquil yet profound sense of emotional vacancy, where the stillness of falling snow mirrors the silence within. #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet

My poem called Inanix.

…

My eyes turn upward,
barely wanting to be opened.

A single snow puff lands on my forehead.

I look towards the park’s street lamp,
snow falls like baby marshmallows,
that disappear when you touch them.

I stare back into space.
Nothing comes to mind.
My thoughts stopped processing long ago…

for who knows how long.

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· Jul 12

My thoughts shifted when I was in thought, so I decided to make a poem on, well… shifting thoughts 😂 Hope you’re all having an amazing day or night… or morning or afternoon, you get the idea 😄 #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet

My poem called Shifting Thoughts.

…

A soft melody plays in the background.
As I listen and breathe out,
I begin to recognize it.

A person comes to mind,
one who saved me when I was little,
at the cost of losing their left eye.

I haven’t seen them in years.
We moved away when my grandma passed.
I didn’t even get the chance to say goodbye.

I wonder how she’s doing?

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· Jul 8

When I was visiting my mother, we went to the ocean, where I saw driftwood with my own eyes for the first time. It came to mind these past few days, so I decided to make a poem about it 😄 #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet

My poem called Driftwood.

…

Uneasy minds draw lines in the sand,
and climb into water,
to drift away in silence.

We search for it relentlessly,
something almost unobtainable to us,
but we drift on anyway.

And like driftwood,
we follow heartstrings in riverbanks,
in hopes of entangling ourselves in them…

or end up pale on ocean shorelines.

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· Jul 5

I made this with inspiration drawn from a music video of Hold Me in the Dark by Myles Smith. It’s a tearjerker 😭 Also, got a new phone 😄 #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet

My poem called Rainbow.

…

You once told me,
that before you lay to rest,
you wish to be a rainbow.

However, it’s a good day today.
Clouds come and go,
but there’s nothing to cry about,
to show gray some color.

But I will do it.
I don’t know how yet,
but nothing is impossible.

And in time I will show it to you…

the rainbow you’ve dreamed of becoming.

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· Jul 1

Another day another poem 😊 I’ve had this poem for a while, but it got lost as I made more, and I found it earlier today 😂 It’s from about 3 months ago. #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet

My poem called Bicycle Lane.

…

I pedal down a narrow lane,
afraid of veering off to the sides,
especially the left.

So I pedal at my own pace,
one where I’m not risking my life.
Yet, over the left white line,

cars pass by me like normal.

But I’m still headed to the same place,
so as the path behind me wanes,
I’ll continue at my own pace…

down the bicycle lane.

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· Jun 28

I can’t even lie, the inspiration behind this poem was very odd 😅 Someone in front of me in line at a gas station dropped a pack of orbit gum they were buying. Yeah, odd 😂 Anyways, until the next verse 😊✍🏻 #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet

My poem called Orbit.

…

I sensed someone in my orbit.
An unknown object hurtling towards me,
an unknown person getting near.

As my eyes cracked open,
a technicolor nebula blinded me.
But in its center,
I could see it—

a familiar silhouette dancing about.

Though blinded by the light,
my eyes were now wide open…

watching the stars dance with you.

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· Jun 25

Reminds me of those trees from Shrek the Third 😂

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· Jun 25

Made this poem after I was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia a few years ago. It overlapped with other things I was dealing with, and this poem was made using the point they all met at. Hope you all like it 😁 #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet

My poem called Autopilot.

…

I laid on my temporary bed,
in a room not warm nor cold.
I gazed out the window,
hollow and confused.

They bickered over me,
as I spewed what little food I ate into a bin.
I placed it on the ground,
as my shoulders snapped beneath weight.

I didn’t think of anything,
I just talked as I normally did.
But deep down,
I felt it…

something had broken.

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· Jun 22

Another day another poem 😁 This one is for a very late #Mother’sDay, and a less late #Father’sDay. I tried making it as universal as possible. Reading tip: Read the full poem, then read the title 😉 #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet

My poem called Up Above.

…

The moment you were born,
I knew you were my whole world.
I’d buy you shoes that fit on my palms,
and decorate your room for you.

And though I want you here with me,
I know very well,
your shoes will no longer fit you snugly…

and there’s an empty room you’ll outgrow.

So when you’re packing boxes,
don’t think of the time that’s left,
because far from where you’ll live…

I’ll be waiting for you…

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· Jun 19

A cold glass of lemonade while listening to music, the pastime I enjoy when I can 😌 What is your favorite way to pass the time? #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet

My poem called Here and There.

…

I lay on the grass,
as clouds cry over me.

I lay between wildflowers,
as bees buzz around me.

I lay against a tree,
as children play from afar.

I lay in different places from time to time,
caressed by the wind,
basked by the sun,
tickled by the rain…

to gently mend the scars.

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· Jun 16

A quick life fact: After Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar says WTF. Namaste 🙏🏻 #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet

$My poem called Forgiving You. … Broken hearts, a fractured nose, and a shattered dream. The moment you reached for the door, I knew you’d never return. After you left me all alone, to deal with the mess you had created— I knew there was nothing left. Still, there were things worth keeping. With our fragile hands, we shaped relics, that will last a lifetime… and that is enough for me to forgive you.$

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· Jun 12

Note for all: This is NOT about me, or anyone else. Completely fictional 😁 But knowing how hard life hits sometimes for people, it could be relatable for some 🥲 #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet

My poem called A Walk in Tears.

…

It’s mostly on rainy days,
I feel the most drained.
Yawning through workloads,
only for tomorrow to be the same.

Occasional though it is,
rarely, I sink a little further.

On such days,
I trudge below stormy skies…

as raindrops mask falling tears.

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· Jun 9

Back home, safe and sound 😌 And back with another poem. Hope you’re all doing well 😊 #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet

My poem called Homeward.

…

We dreamed of airplanes,
a freedom of finding escape.
Youth kept us from being cold,
one look of your eyes and I’m warm.

There are forks in the road ahead,
but I know we’ll choose right…

so let’s go home.

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· Jun 6

About to board a plane back home, only right I make a poem related to this 😄 #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet

My poem called Window Seat.

…

When we are in a rush,
or have our heads clouded with thoughts,
we forget to enjoy the small things.

For those near the aisle,
impatiently tapping their feet for arrival.
Those in the middle,
shift their restless bodies around.

And finally, by the window.

Shrinking cities leave your view,
clouds flow beneath you,
sunsets illuminate enlarging cityscapes.
Views so captivating…

You’ll want to fly just one more time.

The window seat calls for me.

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· Jun 3

I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned this, but I made a hashtag for people to find my poems easier. The hashtag is #tenshipoems I’ve been using it for months and just now realized I never said anything about it 😅🫠🙃 #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #poet

My poem called Suburban Dreams.

…

I’ve always wondered what it’d be like.

Indolent cats lying on stone fences,
a cicada symphony in the grass,
Ducklings following their mothers,
as they swim in clear streams.

Power lines reaching out in front of me.
Train crossings watching over me,
vending machines telling me it’s okay…

to feel a little lonely at times.

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· May 31

Ok, I made a poem in Italian 😄 I translated it to English for those who don’t understand 👍🏻 Korean and Japanese will be much harder, since I don’t know those languages in writing. I’ll need a lot more time for those. #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet

My poem called Preludio all’amore.

…

Cercando un momento di pace,
mi sono imbattuto in uno di luce.
Quando vi sono entrato,
il grigio ha lasciato le mie braccia.

La luce ha preso forma in te,
ed è sorto un preludio all'amore.

My poem called Prelude to Love.

…

In searching for a moment of peace,
I came across one of light.
When I stepped into it,
gray let go of my arms.

The light took shape into you,
and a prelude to love arose.

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· May 27

Hope you’re all having a wonderful day or night 😊 In a few hours, there will be another thunderstorm. This one will last longer than the one a few days ago (and rain will land harder) 🫠 Stay safe out there peeps 🐣😄 #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet

My poem called Between Worlds.

…

Perspectives change as your mind does.
One point of view, invisible—
the other, lived in.

I watch from a single perspective,
crowds chatting and isolated characters.
I’m watching it all,

sitting between two worlds.

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· May 23

It’s thundering where I’m at right now. Got frightened when lightning struck nearby and shook the house 😂 It’s going to be like this the whole week according to the weather. #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet

My poem called Patterns.

…

My surroundings begin vanishing,
the moment I enter my mind.

I float there, silently,
perceiving patterns in the dark,
shapes never before seen.

Then my surroundings reappear.
I skip the next song,
and listen to patterns once more.

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· May 20

I think I might make a poem in a different language one of these days. I’m thinking either Japanese, Korean, or Italian. Honestly I might just make one in all three, the more the better 😁 #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet

My poem called Faceless.

…

Paralyzed in your heart,
a faceless figure searches.
Surrounded by emotions it knows well,
yet none are truly you.

And as it finally finds its true self,
huddled in fear of living,

the faceless figure fades.

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· May 17

Another day, another poem 😊 This poem has a little bit of a hiccup in flow near the last line, but was the only way it felt right for me. Well, unless there was a much better way that didn’t come to mind in time 😅 #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet

My poem called In This Room…

…

When I first entered this field of work,
I never thought I’d be in this type of room.

In this room, flowers bloom.
Colors fade back from gray.

In this room,
filled with kindness and reassurance,
with smiles and laughter,

I’m grateful to be a part of.

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· May 13

Another word invented: Sidcinis (n. poetic) From Latin: sidus (“star”) + cinis (“ash”) Definition: The drifting remains of a passion once burning brightly; ash that still glows beautifully beneath the stars. #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet

My poem called Sidcinis.

…

In your hands,
I fall apart too easily—
leaving soot on your fingertips,
you wash away when you see.

But this is me now.

After my passion burned out,
I faded to the back of memories,
forgotten every now and then.

And as parts of me flow beneath the stars,
it’s up to me to decide…

whether I want to be seen as irritable,
or something others see as beautiful.

Tenshi@tenshi0-20· May 10

I made this one in like, 10 minutes? I made it pretty quickly this time around (but forgot to post it yesterday) 😂 #poetry #poetrycommunity #freeverse #writingcommunity #writing #tenshipoems #poet
