Happiness just beneath the surface
The sun holds me in its embrace
Waiting patiently for winters gray to dissipate
Little buds peak and form
A world of vibrant colors soon to bloom
Birds call breaks through the silence
Singing songs of summers hopeful tune
As the bees and frogs emerge
The world comes back to life
A dead frozen world
Is reborn once again
Running on Empty
Where is the girl I used to be?
The one I know I still am.
Fondness for all the same things,
Yet satisfaction dwindles.
The willpower faltering,
My insides so hollow.
Energy remains,
But ever so scarce,
And just out of reach.
This emptiness longs
To be filled once again.
But I don't know how.
A love story about you
(for my Beloved )
I am writing a love story about you, as I explore the mysteries and wonders of your resplendent beauty, immersing myself completely into the glorious depths of your swirling liquid passion. I'm drowning in the effervescent rainbow whirlpools of your swirling senses, consumed by your raging, torrid fire. I am reborn, and emerge as a undulating wave, a sacred phoenix, dancing upon the ocean of holy splendour in your shimmering golden heart.
I am a feather in your wings, the lightning in your eyes, and the tantalizing vapour in your heavenly breath.
Happily I die for thee, so that I may live for thee. You are my favourite love story. You are my only love story.
National Poetry Month Poem
Hope has left me,
Hope for the future,
Hope for mankind,
Hope for everything;
It's something that not many understand,
And even fewer accept as valid,
But I see these events that affect us all,
And I see the lies that are fed to the populous,
And the indoctrination ensues;
How can we prevent the oncoming darkness?
Can we even prevent it?
Or is prevention the most dangerous illusion of all?
- Michael Hall
How Could I Not?
How can I not love you
After everything you've said?
How could I not love you
After the tears that you have shed?
How can I not love you
After the kiss that we shared?
How could I not love you after
The soul that you've laid bare?
How can I not love you
After seeing your beauty shine through?
How could I not love you
After being with you?
Sad
I now know what it means
To drown in your sorrow
I'm swimming in
My own pool of years
Sad
Rain pouring
Lighting fills the sky
Thunder booms
I still cry
Sad
Disappointment
Can overwhelm you
In above your head
Can't get out.
Sad
It feels like
Nothing can get better
Clouds will never
Float away
Sad
But don't worry
Little one
Eventually
They will.
Insanity on the Inside
Its a boxed up mess full of dark superior,
Society said I should get help for this
Box of insanity, it was like a rose bush
It grew so bright inside my head it fed me with the color
Then the thorns grew down right in the middle of my chest,
Crushing all my moving organs, the flower took its mask of revealing its dark side, my insanity.
Unloved
I hate your love as if you really love me to pieces
you crumble me with your words of pain and war that I fight to keep what we have
breathing breathes of life into breathes of life
the hurts from your past experiences of what you didn’t ask for
you bleed me with your sharp tongue and kiss me with the hate in your eyes
who do I have the pleasure of meeting today
now you say these words to me the me that you see
I cry for you and you cry for you for me and the things that you do not see...blindness
you choose to cover your mind staying behind what is not behind you but stands with you
hopefully not for eternity but eternity is forever
more of what you don’t need needs you to live
so it can forever torment your pain that you have unknowingly and knowingly...together at once it stays
deep inside of you festering bigger and stronger than you thought you could be at this moment in time
you chime in on life’s moments of opportunity that knocks for you but you do not answer the door
looking for more of the hurt asking for more of the pain crying for more of the same of yesterday
Emotion?
To extrapolate on the way I feel
envision you have joy, that those closest wish to steal.
They take small steps everyday, to rid you of clear thought
sanity by the wayside, peace is every bit lost.
The emotion I struggle with, lies within my hardest sin
Wrath washes over me, takes control, it begins.
The flush of anger in my blood, the calm in my actions
The rush of attention to detail, in my violent fashions.
I don't encourage it to anyone, to adopt this burden
It's one that takes time to reverse, release only when traitors are hurtin'.
I live a thin line between the space of adore and abhor
I am but a second from destroying their worlds after I shatter their door.
The coldest nights, couldn't cool my hell fire blood
The smartest of foes couldn't outlast my stone heart's fight
The fastest of feet, can only run so far
and the most resourceful of fucks can be starved out, day and night.
Ah, Wrath. They wrote about you in mythology calling you Ares and Mars. But you and I have an agreement: If the people wish to cross me and my peaceful notions, then we will pour on the suffering that they have asked for. You're not romantic, but neither am I. Let's do what we do best.
Broken
You wouldn't care if I died
At my funeral you would not cry
Did you ever think the hate that I hide
Might just be hidden in my eyes
Inside you don't know how loud I scream
On the outside I look fine, is that how I seem?
I refuse to scream and cry
I refuse to tell the world goodbye
After death there is no pain
Apparently everyone thinks I'm sane
Just how stable do I look?
I really can't be read like a book
The scars that won't heal
Are the ones I actually feel
The people I don't hate
Are the only ones that can save me from this broken fate
