What is breath?
A sigh
A roar
Does it romance?
Does it enhance?
What is posture?
A stance
A dance
Does it lie?
Does it adore?
It is an act
A truth
A behavior
What is your circumstance?
The Ugly TruthThe Ugly Truth2 years ago in Concrete Poetry More Like This
The Ugly Truth
We shut our ears
We close our eyes
And live in Blissful IGNORANCE
If we knew the truth,
Our minds would rot
Our ears would bleed
And our eyes would be singed from our skulls
The ugly truth has been ignored
We don't want to face it
The world that does not exist
Lives in our mind
And dwells in our hearts
But that world is the true poison
Which infects others like a disease
That world that does not exist is a lie
Yet it is better than ours
The truth is real
Which will you choose?
Other GirlThe exhaustion makes me crazyOther Girl2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
The hand prints move
My shoes dance
Laughing. I hear laughing.
Just out of reach, somewhere in the distance..
I stumble after it, deluded, hazy
Call out, wondering why I can't reach
The happiness the others have
I collapse, defeated, drained.
My bed wraps around me, devouring me
I sink into is, letting the darkness and sleep claim me,
And I dream
My dreams are twisted, cruel, gruesome.
Bloody macabre horrors of the mind
My greatest fears, come to play
hopscotch with my subconscious
Not even my iPod can drown out
The cold sweats I wake up in
The laughter turns to cackles
The sun to moon

To find a special guy
A moment all in passing
For him to catch your eye
They say it takes an hour
To appreciate this man
To really feel his presence
To know him as a friend
They say it takes a day
To love him in your heart
To want to hold him everyday
To never be apart
They say it will take a lifetime
To forget such a special bond
To erase each loving memory
To give up and move on
I guess for those who believe it
These words must all be true
But I cannot agree to this
When it comes down to you
A minute yes to find you
But that is where it ends
It didn’t take an hour
For me to know that we

Lost in my mind
I have gone numb
Focused on pain
But pain will not come
Burned to the core of my dead soul
Dreaming of days I once felt whole
My body is empty
My heart has gone cold
My eyes have been blinded
With the reflections of my old.
I cannot breath
I can only lie in this tomb, my mental sty
I lay and I wait in my own decay
And imagine a life not blown away.

An Ancient Greek PoemZeus is the king of the gods and goddessesAn Ancient Greek Poem6 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
No one is mightier than he
He has power over all of mankind
Zeus is the most important as you can see
Lightning bolts are his weapons
And he controls the weather
Hey, did you know that
Zeus and Hera are together?
Hera is the queen of all
And the marriage protector
She took care of the women and children
While she sipped on Nector
Zeus was the youngest of his siblings
But he was still the leader
His other siblings are
Hestia, Hera, Hades, Poseidon, and Demeter
Hades became the god of the under world
Because he loved the rich minerals in the Earth
He was also god of wealth
So he obvi

Sick of this illusion,
Fuck all these empty promises,
Words have become meaningless,
So sick of listening to these lies,
Wanna be with you,
But not gonna jeopardize my happiness,
Not ready for the risk of getting hurt again,
Don’t think I ever will be,
Put these walls up around me,
Not willing to take them down,
Don’t bother trying to undo them,
You’re not gonna get anywhere with me,
I just don’t care anymore,
Sorry but I’ve been hurt before,
So badly that I still haven't recovered,
Only enough to hide it,
I want you, I need you,
But I don’t want to need you,
The Deepest Depths of BlueThe chain of events that followed your birthThe Deepest Depths of Blue4 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Were as tumultuous as each twisted link
Your mind was wired for the written word
But under no circumstances should you think
As the decreasing circles of sanity
Will ripple through your infant mind
The soul can't escape your hollow bones
Until you leave those thoughts behind
You feel trapped inside your grey matter
But freedom will be yours in the end
Once you realise that you are a miracle
That'll never be repeated again
Open your eyes to the beauty of the truth
That there is a reality worth seeing
And dive into the deepest depths of blue
Of your soul, your essence, your being
SorrowI'm lost in the emptiness of my sorrow,Sorrow2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
I feel nothing but the pain.
I've been broken down into nothing,
I've got nothing to keep on going for.
My soul is suffocating;
Crying and screaming behind my tightly locked lips.
{I wont let her speak}
She bleeds black ink onto bright white pages,
Begging for someone to see behind the excuse.
{No one ever does}
I'm hurting,
Yet if you ask me how I am,
I promise to lie.
{I'm fine}
I'm learning how to deal with this suffering,
Our Selfish DaysOur Selfish Days2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
I remember that time,
that summer,
when nothing mattered in the whole universe;
not the heat... nor the pain
nor the people... down the tragic lane
nothing mattered...
But us.
Only us was what mattered
Only the two
In that small universe we lived
In that small universe was the truth
the lonely, yet...
beyond words,
absolutely beautiful truth.
I remember that time
that summer
when to us
nothing mattered
but the fact that we existed
Oh, How I long for those distant warm...

Still Missing YouStill Missing You6 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
I thought I was past this,
That I was done feeling this way.
But why is it you that I still miss
And think about some days.
It appears you have moved on,
And I thought I did too.
I'm trying to be strong
And figure out what to do.
But I can't stop thinking about it,
Can't help but remember all the fun we had.
A possibility inside my mind has been lit,
And this idea has been driving me mad.
Could there still be a chance for us?
Could we start it up again?
I don't want to leave what we had in the dust,
So what does this mean for us then?
Maybe I should just come right out
And say what has been on my thoughts.
What happened has

so i don't remember how to write
poetry because it's pretty
and that's the last thing i feel,
and i can't write stories
because they're all happening to me
though i've forgotten how to live
and yet
can't stop dying
but i can't stop breathing
either
just look for a second
this is what i'm dealing with-
i'm feeling too much
all the salt in the ocean;
i'm not pausing as i feel
my breath stuttering
like my heartbeat
in my chest,
so i wonder if i have
given myself
palpitations
or if i just miss you
enough to put a hole in my chest,
and i wonder if i could do it myself
with a knife or if it's from
natural causes;

This tool of distortion
used to corrupt the
perceptions of reality
Comforted behind
unknown barriers.
The world as I see
through clear lens
has messed my senses.
My obsession with capturing
unsought beauty has seized me
though, frustrated with
unwanted outcome.
An image captured
for my collection of silly
things for me to ponder upon
Behind the camera
I feel safe, never
want to be the subject
of its eye.
Am I Crazy?Am I Crazy?6 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Was I crazy to think
That I could have
Every part of you?
Wishing to be in your arms
That'd your heart beat for me
And I'd be the one you'd lay your eyes on
Yes
I was always insane
Loosing my grip
Changing slowly everyday
Where has my sanity wandered off to?
Because
I know for a fact
I can't have you without it.
This lifetime search
For something so trivial
Has ruined it all for me
I have wasted the years
Shedding the tears
All because you never wanted me

That I wake with you on my mind
And fall asleep
To images of your smile
I hate that I adore you so
With gorgeous eyes
And sweet lips
I long to taste
I hate the way you make me feel
Like I need you to survive
As if breathing without you
Is excruciating
I hate that I yearn for you
I hunger for your touch
Every moment
Of every day
I hate the way I love you
With every beat
Of my wretched heart
That loving you keeps me alive
Yet keeps me alone

Loving you, that pain goes on
Last year I held you
In my arms
Nothing could be better

But this year
I'm sitting on the stairs
holding a single rose
And that rose is bleeding

Open Wounds
life is but an open wound
always pouring
forever drowining us
never slowing
people are foolish
to think that they can stop us
but they cant
each one of us is filled with flaws
good and bad
we are different
yet the same
no one can truely see
what we see
they will never understand
the pain
the suffering
the anguish
there might be others like us
but we are alone

I feel your breath on my neck.
I feel your body pressed so close to mine.
I feel your lips on my throat.
I feel your hands move to my back and your lips work their way up to mine.
I feel you and I love it.
I hear you say you love me.
I hear you whisper my name.
I hear you tell me I'm the only one for you.
I hear your breath in my ear.
I hear your soft snores as I fall asleep.
I hear you and I love it.
I see you as I run into your arms.
I see your face break through my world of darkness.
I see you fight away my fears.
I see you wipe away my tears.
I see you're in love with me.

Cold as death she sits alone
A fallen angel still as stone.
People point and stop to stare
About her no one seems to care.
As years pass she stays the same
And taunting her became a game.
Then the blows and kicks rain down,
In their hatred she starts to drown.
Bruises spread like spilled ink
Still she doesn’t even blink.
Time has numbed her, dulled the pain
They wonder if she’s gone insane.
Suddenly time seems to freeze
She feels a warm, gentle breeze.
The people part to make way
None of them know what to say.
A young man with raven hair
Doesn’t seem to see them there.
