Did You See?
Suicide
Schmuicide
Know one ever no's
When the signs tell us one
We try not to show
Hindsight is clear
Obvious
Can't you tell?
The marks are so bright
Who is there can spell?
So plugged in we're
Unraveling
Imagination has gone gossip
Centered on appeal
Isn't that sick?
Decided not in 2nd
Every beat in dark
Previous friends notice
Blown off as a fault,
Phase, feelings
Pass
A first frights friends
Mindful now
Blurring tears remake
Ignorance on two
Now second passes
Why still no say?
Hindsight is quite clear
No one knows one
Signals brushed like dust
Line thrown away
Fights free
Suicide
A Poet’s Subreption
The white clouds dance beyond skylines,
Throw form to unsheltered flowers.
Trying to follow strange, strict guidelines,
Wringing minds for ink-filled powers.
Throwing form to unsheltered flowers,
Rains slip down on electronic pages.
Wringing minds for ink-filled powers,
A steady hand files for classmate gauges.
Rains slip down on electronic pages,
While birdsong flits by on moonlight.
A steady hand files for classmate gauges,
Till layers of poetry glance and fight.
While birdsong flits by on moonlight,
Trying to follow strange, strict guidelines
Till layers of poetry glance and fight,
The white clouds dance beyond skylines.
Deep
"Have you been
in love?" The question whispered
through the headphones to four sets
of waiting ears.
A new-found oil well
sprung up inside me, drowning all else
while igniting on the sockets
of my lightning dreams. Blazing,
burning thoughts as tidal waves descended,
the motions of my heart. Surroundings coated
in darkness as I blindly scrambled
for words to express my silver soul
screams. How could one say of the hurricane
madness, the sunset retreat, the brilliant star
explosions that has all gone unseen. Silent nights
play in my head, melodic
touches, and sunlight
laughter. Killer dreams,
color raised across skin,
and midnight fails come back again.
Breathing,
empty buzzing in my ears. I reply;
and "What is it like?" comes across
in kind. How to elaborate, beyond
words, souls connection.
"Deep."
Never enough
to know. All I can say.
Barren Heart
Something is missing
Something’s not right
Something is wrong with me
And I want to fight
It’s not pain or loss
Not stress or fear
In fact, the lack of
May be here
For most see one
But I know two
Reasons for the lines
Shining on the few
The hole inside me
Calls out from the grave
With the craving so stark
It’s hard to behave
Only a select know
How this story will go
Not fire-burned fate
But barren slates
Sails
I was a sail on a ship at sea
Catching the wind
And every breeze
Soft ones that didn't even move me
Steady one that blew on and on
Moving me forward
Yes, even the strong ones
That tore at my strength
Breaking my mast in two
But it was the still days that followed
When no movement was to be had
No motion upon the waves
That my masts were repaired
And I began
To catch the breeze again
Wishing
Heaven and Hell
Aren't so far away
When peace is temptation
Deep inside your head
Angels and Devils
Aren't so far apart
When smiles seem sin
From within your chest
Silence is torture
So on my first star
I wonder a wish
Fight or flight I dread
Meaning is madness
And on my last thought
What wish a wonder
Heaven my Hell
my best
Post
Out here by the looking post,
Where no one need know I go,
I’ll sit and quiet
My minds dull clatter,
’Till the soul moves my heart’s beat.
I long for a voice to slip silently in
My thoughts, replace and
Stir that content deep within.
It’s out here, where norms don’t matter,
Silence is the only music wished.
To hear the sounds of
A big whisper within.
Here at my listening post
No one need know I am.
Second Son
Everyone knows the beginning. God; being. Everyone knows the salvation. Jesus; grace.
But before the Son, was the Sinner. Yet no one knows that the Sinner was the first Son, the Prodigal.
Jesus was tempted like we are. Yet he took our punishment with a clean soul. He is Grace.
Lucifer was tempted too. So he understands our pain and brokenness. He is Redemption.
For Father forgives all. It is easy to fight when Grace never sinned. It is easy to argue that Grace can't understand. But Redemption understands. He has anger and hurt and sin.
Our Redemption is coming.
