Her shadow moved in the dance of chaos before her as the inferno blazed behind her and licked the sky with its many tongues. She clutched an indistinguishable toy with both arms tightly. Her face was serene. Her eyes shone with courage more immense than the surrounding flames. She was small, but at that moment, I've never seen a bigger person.","author":"Hubert Martin","tags":["attributed-no-source","best","change","confidence","deep","dreams","friend","happy","honesty","humor","hurt","infinity","inspirational","intelligence","life","love","optimism","philosophy","poem","poetry","sleep","soul","truth"],"id":6094,"author_id":"Hubert+Martin"},{"text":"Adventures kept hidden, words kept silent. You became my greatest secret. And when you left, no one knew the source of the pain I felt. No one knew you existed, except my writhing heart.","author":"Hubert Martin","tags":["attributed-no-source","best","change","confidence","deep","dreams","friend","happy","honesty","humor","hurt","infinity","inspirational","intelligence","life","love","optimism","philosophy","poem","poetry","sleep","soul","truth"],"id":6354,"author_id":"Hubert+Martin"},{"text":"I was burdened with an ever-growing heart on the verge of decay.

Ink splattered across the page. And within those scratched words, those small, sharp incisions, an image can be seen and you're left to wonder what, in the end, this all could mean.","author":"Hubert Martin","tags":["attributed-no-source","best","change","confidence","deep","dreams","friend","happy","honesty","humor","hurt","infinity","inspirational","intelligence","life","love","optimism","philosophy","poem","poetry","sleep","soul","truth"],"id":13394,"author_id":"Hubert+Martin"},{"text":"I think I feel it The nimble, fleeting emotion That novels and authors desperately Try to convey in ink and heart blood Whose shadow festers in the loins Of teenagers and their insatiability The hidden thing none of us can see Yet we all disagree what it looks like If only it were love... Simple, infinite love But this was more, this was bloodshot madness.","author":"Hubert Martin","tags":["attributed-no-source","best","change","confidence","deep","dreams","friend","happy","honesty","humor","hurt","infinity","inspirational","intelligence","life","love","optimism","philosophy","poem","poetry","sleep","soul","truth"],"id":15335,"author_id":"Hubert+Martin"},{"text":"You are whole today, looking back at fragments of the past.

With my hands burnt to a crisp and prosthetics in their place, would you hold me close and allow comfort in your embrace? If I fashioned a band from that sun and those stars, would you kiss these lines on my flesh? These irrevocable scars? I've fashioned for you this band of infinite light! Yet upon your finger it is not nearly so bright... You are my stars, sun and light. You are blazing fire in hopeless night. You are a reflection of perfection if my soul stood a mirror. Your affection is my infection, if only you could be nearer. You stand as a darling of your race, while I lay as an emotion with a face. What I sought and seek is not easily found, Yet from your lips escapes the perfect sound. My name and yours, yours and mine, Not even softest silk could be so fine. And yet, I see you standing there, Indecisive and fiddling with your hair. Your eyes are downward cast and your tears and my tears flow, What I would do to see them glow…and for you to know.","author":"Hubert Martin","tags":["attributed-no-source","best","change","confidence","deep","dreams","friend","happy","honesty","humor","hurt","infinity","inspirational","intelligence","life","love","optimism","philosophy","poem","poetry","sleep","soul","truth"],"id":23458,"author_id":"Hubert+Martin"},{"text":"His eyes are covered by impermeable marble, a solidity that can never be breached. You think there is gold and warmth behind the facade of cold, but if only you could see your reflection in the marble. You would see how you burn, how brightly you glow, enough to incinerate anyone else whole.","author":"Hubert Martin","tags":["attributed-no-source","best","change","confidence","deep","dreams","friend","happy","honesty","humor","hurt","infinity","inspirational","intelligence","life","love","optimism","philosophy","poem","poetry","sleep","soul","truth"],"id":32862,"author_id":"Hubert+Martin"},{"text":"She was poetry written in pen, scribbled and scrawled again and again.","author":"Hubert Martin","tags":["attributed-no-source","best","change","confidence","deep","dreams","friend","happy","honesty","humor","hurt","infinity","inspirational","intelligence","life","love","optimism","philosophy","poem","poetry","sleep","soul","truth"],"id":42179,"author_id":"Hubert+Martin"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":86,"pages":9,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
