BeautifulI don't feel beautiful,Beautiful2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
And even though I know I am,
I don't feel loved.
I no longer believe in wishes;
I no longer believe in dreams,
For those things are things
That little girls believe in
And I am no longer little.
I know I need a change
In Life,
But I don't know how
To change it.
I don't know how to be happy
On my own.
I don't know how to get back
To the girl I used to be.

to my loneliness
All I want you to do
is hold me.
Don't shut your eyes
to my tears
I wish you would
wipe them away.
Don't shut your ears
from my cries
I want you to
kiss me.
Just hold your arms
out,
I'm willing to
take the leap.

Take me to the lands of unknown
Hold my hand; love me with all your heart

That's all I want
Get me out of here
Show me the sun again
Show me the flowers and the birds,
never ending sound of the waves

Happy Valentines.The smell of flowers, of chocolate and cake.Happy Valentines.2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
The sweet embrace of one heart's intake.
The lovely writings that are dealt with the soul.
The uncertainty of your self-control.
The many hours spent on the gift.
The lack of thoughts gone adrift.
The quiet words left unsaid,
Only for those whose tears were shed.
The waking to know that you're still single.
Lest you forget, you're ready to mingle.
So you arise with a smile.
And leave it to that artistic style.
Today would be the day
that's gone astray.
Because today's way
Is Valentine's day.

75. MirrorLooking down,75. Mirror2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
I see bits of myself
Reflected
As tears fall from my eyes.
At my lowest point in life,
I have no one to bring me back,
To help me up
From this horrific fall
I've taken.
My innocence is lost;
Shattered,
Just like the mirror lying on the ground
Reflecting my broken image
Back at me.

Must StopMust StopMust Stop2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
By: Doug Gealy
To abide to the tide
Flow wet
Drown heavy
My punctured soul
Slips beside the time once mine
Now yours to market
Yours to sell
A mass production
A frantic factory
A sharp static spliced yellow
A friction rubbed flat
No sweets to mellow for a common fellow
Someone must stop me
The profit to seal a debt
The poor to live, to fret
I am the eye
That sees between, a crowded cloud.
Bored, blunt, and boundless
Buried and bloated
Loaded and filled
Beneath the grey skies
We sink
We are many fallen dreams
Or so it seems, to me.

BLOODY INDEEDI.BLOODY INDEED2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
"For this was on Saint Valentines Day..."
How will you take
your February art?
On paper-cut cardboard hearts
or in the elasticity
of spoken-word history?
With what would you like
to propose a red toast?
Fresh blood from the palm
transfusions of soul handshakes
or love-martyr blood
like metaphor wine
nursed from a youth of irony sour
to a venerable senior of syrupy sweet?
II.
"Young men will do't if they come to't"
No solace in the red lounge
of royal Rome for Mrs. Cruel
not when a fool's golden rule
aims to cut the city mattresses in half
or the heads of holy matchmakers
Make love not war
muse soldiers into shot-re

PLANET OF SCANDALStories came and wentPLANET OF SCANDAL2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
but in the end we knew what happened
Ink is heaven-sent
it merges what we have and haven't
Gliding slowly by
the plans anointing us with wonder
Later we'll ask why
the plans were gaily ripped asunder
Elementary thoughts
are only found between the focus
Elemental clots
besiege our genius and revoke us
Learn to face the truth
instead of facing garbled letters
Disregard the booth
and buy some freer-fitting sweaters
