darkness
that old friend
feeling me sleep
watching me eat
hearing my cries
and tasting my lies
darkness
that old enemy
twists my tongue
bites it hard
open my skin
let it flow forth, free
whisper venom and pain
soaked in sugar and honey
guide my eye
to that which i cannot see
steady my hand
so i may not fail
darkness
that old one
so vile, numbing
engulfing, fogging
so soft, liberating
familiar, reassuring
when has it not been there, by my side? -
Woah! That's great. You have real talent!
-
thank you!

today i woke up
the air was quiet
and the sun was soft
sometimes i wish not to wake at all
so surprising, what a day
not too warm, not too cool
only 10:30 but it feels almost 2
hope fills today
that which many covet
yet with hope, comes delousion
and with delousion, comes tragedy
someone, somewhere, has just died
yet we cannot smell the iron on the wind
maybe the news simply won't show us
media is how we communicate
yet we have no say in it
as a choice
we let it happen
how can we blame those who depress us if we dont stand
to face it?
lie down, like a dog
might as well be dead
do you really contribute?
or do those words fall upon deaf ears
i see you
in your room, in your bed
wishing somehow that everything could end
right?
well get up and do something
what makes you happy? what makes you sad? what makes you scared or angry?
do it. go and live
to feel is to live but to hide is to survive
after all, none of us had a choice to be born
that was our parents pleasure
i know hopelessness
when i don't want to die, i yearn to live
interact socially and engage myself
partake in that which i enjoy
regulate that of which i dont
suffocate in self appreciation
and drown in the love for another
i'm tired of being dead
if you are too, let's make a promise
to be alive and live our lives how we want
if our grave hasn't been dug, why have we lain down? -
born from flames
rise and fade
burn and soothe
engulf the lambs
if inferno is life
then smoke is death
and after death
we cannot see the end
certainly, though
we can feel it -
:)
Wow... These poems really make you feel the words.
Well done again :) -
i hope you enjoy this next one :)
pitter patter
all on my lap
kneading day in,
sleeping day out
fur so fluff, it's suffocating
trip my feet, and cry in pain
you cover my face when i sleep
and yell so loud i cannot think
fight with others, its on sight
but meow so innocent, my heart goes light
little kitty kat, you sure are an asshoIe
but you love me, and help me feel better
little baby girl
you sure are special -
stars from the sky spill from your lips
when you cry, i see the moon in ruins
which is why i try to suffice
with sweet nothings and lullabies
i shape my lips, to blow out sunshine
i ease my eyes, to show you moonlight
you're like a black hole, luring me in
promising love, then leaving again
have you had your fill?
i can give you more light
we can both be supernova
burning through the night
growing off each other
and dying when it's right -
Both of these I really enjoyed. Try entering a poem competition; you could win!

our eyes differentiate us all
most see a rose
bathing in the sunshine
i see a datura
basking in the moonlight
i wish to be the heat upon your lips
jealous of that wind,
who grabs you by the hips
i hate the sky
as it never leaves you alone
i rebuke the trees
who get to gaze upon your beauty
and envy the ground
just beneath your feet
i hate the light
which always fills your eyes
wishing so desperately that light
was from I
dreaming each night
you cared enough to lie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ashamed by the streets
which scream to my face
and hurl profanities
about me and their hate
ashamed by my friends
discouraging me
without saying a word
teaching me
what purposeful abandonment feels like
ashamed by my family
refusing to acknowledge
the woman i am
or the life i choose to live
disrespecting my looks, smarts, and talent
take these bars away
so it feels like a home
and not shawshank
have to make a thousand excuse -
you grabbed me by the heart
and started to run
we could've gone to forever
but you let go, and kept going
and now we run in different directions -
im sorry, little fox
i do not know how it went
you looked so young
but half of you was gone
something was hungry
i wish it wasn't you
laying in that field
oh little fox, i hope your life was good
