I'm just a young writer, and only now beginning to press pen to page. I value life, and I hope I learn how to value the words we put it in.

They said “I Love You”

They never saw the truth in their lover's eyes.

In simple words, what is art?

blue_eternity in Poetry & Free Verse

271 reads

We say that art is beautiful but

Is it

Always pretty?

We say that art is feeling but

Is it

Not also thought?

Art is choice, expression through

Choice.

Choice is freedom.

Freedom is burdensome.

Logic dictates,

Art must be a burden,

But,

It is

Our human right

To carry.

Give Me Prose

Please don't give me pretty perfect words that

Rhyme and line-up with perfect timing and beat

On smooth white paper. Give me raw feeling, thoughts scrawled on coffee

Stained, crumpled paper at 2:27 am. Give me something deep enough to

Exhaust my heart as it beats with your words; as it beats alongside your soul.

Challenge

In eight words, describe your ideal life. :P

Subtle Deceit

Pretty white curtains

Hiding sunlight from outside

Or lies from within

Terrible Freedom

Pulling hair

Grinding teeth

It's beneath

The fear pulls

Expands skin

Stretches flesh

Cages break

The flesh splits

Blood escapes

Freedom sounds

With each drip

Every drop

Red shines through

Fleshy glass

In each crack

I create

My freedom

And my doom

Challenge

Love,

How can it be the world but still not enough?

To Love and to Leave

If I let my mind wander

If I sit here and ponder

What wonders will my mind create?

And if I let my thoughts fly

Until my head hits the sky

Can I reach that heavenly place?

Of passionate loving

And creation's becoming

Reach a world of my own design?

Where the hate that haunts me

And the troubles that taunt me

Can dissipate like mist in the wind?

Or must I stay here

Bathed in the fear

Of surviving in this bastardly world?

I guess I'll just pray

That if I must stay

I can learn to love God's broken earth.
