InsomniaInsomniaInsomnia8 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
From somewhere else at about midnight
Nights are so quiet over and over again
Sometimes more, sometimes less homely too quietly
Every now and then the star-spattered sky appears, but it appears never complete
A wonderful view of these stars and the black infinity. I can't avoid it. I don't want to
To fall asleep lying under the star-spattered sky is drop-dead gorgeous
Without any persecution, without any fear and anger 'cause anger blinds
This is where I live
The silence and the peace, a kinda celestial peace
Thoughts circle in the most different directions, as is sometimes the case
Not uncommonly worried thoughts as alway
Cold in the NightThe night is beautiful as I stare at the sky,Cold in the Night7 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
And it reminds me somehow of your eyes.
So I wonder if, wherever you are,
You are looking up at these same stars.
The snow is cold, but I cannot feel anything;
I can only hear the song that the night sings.
The full moon’s light falls down just like tears,
And, darling, I can almost feel you here.
All at once I am desperate, so lost and so cold
Though not from winter’s iron-ice hold.
I am caressed by winter’s fingers, its frost in my veins
But I know that this chill is just not the same.
I want nothing more than to be lost in this icy hour,
To disperse into a million pin-prick

I cannot move, cannot see....
Where am I?
What was that?
A movement, swift.
Like a whisper, it's gone.
What is going on?
Last thing I remember
I was falling
I cannot feel my wings
In fact, I cannot feel
I should be sad
Vanya and the boys
They'll live without me
I should be feel enraged
My siblings betrayed me
Even went so far
As to damn near hurt my family
And yet, I cannot help but not feel
It's like I don't exist
Like I'm dead...
Did I die? Is it even possible?
I don't feel dead
But then again, I don't feel
I wish she had had the guts
To just kill me, to end me
But no, she had to torture m

tears form a cloud;
my hands are shaking
your heart is breaking.
Rustling of spring leaves
righteous vows of love
sadness and sorrow

Churning bits of ecstasy
Fighting all the while
Our love is gone
Never to be found
My Heart Skipped A BeatEvery time I saw you,My Heart Skipped A Beat5 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
I couldn't help but stare.
Your beautiful eyes
Melted into mine,
And they made my heart skip a beat.
When you spoke,
It was like time stopped,
And everything stood still
Except for you and me.
I've never had a crush on someone
That made me feel this way.
Everything you did took my breath away.
The sad part about all of this is you don't even know.
You don't know that when you look at me,
I fall that much harder.
You have no idea that when you speak to me,
You put butterflies in my stomach.
Every time I saw you,
I couldn't help but stare.
You're beautiful eyes
Melted into mine,
And you made my heart s
A Solitary BeastI need to leaveA Solitary Beast8 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
But can't get away
I need to get out
But there's nowhere to go
I can't contain him anymore
He wants to get out
The beast inside me
A beast with wings
A low guttural sound
Escapes from my throat
There's no way to stop him
Not this time
Pain courses through my veins
I fall to my knees
And arch my back
My bones begin to shift
Screams escape me
Soon morphing into roars
There is nothing left of me
Replaced by wings and claws
I take flight into the sky
Setting fire to the night
No longer part of the human world
I'm just a solitary beast

Help me turn away.
The memories are racing fast.
I wish I didn't remember that day…
I'm searching harder for the past.
To make old habits okay.
Help me turn away.
I'm slowly returning to that day
They've made me forget.
I'm looking towards the past.
Help me turn away.
The memories are racing fast.
I wish I didn't remember that day…
I'm searching harder for the past.
To make old habits okay.
Help me turn away.
I'm slowly returning to that day
When suicide was okay.
And I held on in the back of my mind
Without even realizing
And I can't hold my breath no longer
No matter how hard I tr

My heart drops straight down,
my stomach goes cold.
My brain is still processing
what I've just been told.
Worst case scenarios
run through my head,
What if you're hurt--
Or what if you're dead?
I call your cell phone
at least five times,
I can't deal with this!
And dead goes the line.
I pace the floor faster,
I walk all around.
Tears fall from my eyes.
And I drop to the ground.
I can't deal with this..
Just pick up the phone!
I try one more time,
and you answer, "Hello?"
My grief turns to joy,
then right into anger.
"I was worried, you idiot!
Why wouldn't you answer?!"

That we can't see
There are places so dark
That we feel lonely
There are whispers in the dark
That makes our ears bleed
There are whispers in the dark
That makes us scared
As the darkness surrounds us
We look for a light
As the darkness embraces us
We start to fight
We don't want to live a life
In the dark
We don't want to live a life
In the shadows
As we look for a source of light
We realize
As we look for a small hope
We understand
There is always someone there
Even when it's dark
There is always someone there
Who will ignite your spark
You're never alone
Even in the dark
You're never alone

Look at yourself!!Look!
You're the brightest star of them all.
See,darling,you're the most beautiful one,
But still,you chose to fall.
Your wings shattered,
And your soul went black,
Did you ever regret it,my dear?
You keep it silent,there's no way back.
You left heaven behind you,
Do you miss it? I know I do,
I miss the innocence and the glitter,
The sweetness of the clouds and the truth.
I miss my wings,
Yes,honey,I lost them too.
See,when you fell,
I jumped. I fell with you.
I just wish you'd take me in your embrace,
Hold me tight and never let me go
Your sinful lips on mine,
Send me the wind and I'll know.

World pure and silently white
Red rose with tenacity
Unfurled petals overnight.
Christmas gift of one red rose
Heaven's present this I know
Blossom glitters in cold glory
Frozen red in winter's snow.

as I jump through hoops
and teach my body about rustic sickness
and send myself into
these colorful loops of
senseless emotion
and these days of 01's
I will pull my soul from my mouth,
and stretch it until it screams
and I will cut it over
the sheet of paper that is
the cosmos
for the hours of 012
will bleed into the tempos
of my life and maybe
I will finally drown in it
and learn my lesson
for everytime I kiss
at the wrong moment
every minute of 0123
I look at you and see a child,
picking his favorite memories
from the tender tips of
his sticky fingers and
trying his hardest to keep them
together

She's gorgeous, pale-skin, brown hair, dark eyes always filled with happiness and joy the way he wishes he could be. She doesn't want to be there any more than he does, and they grouse to each other about how they don't need a 'special school.' It's the first time he's worked up the courage to say it.
She carries a book too, just like his sketchbook, but she says it's a diary. It's hung with a little lock on the front and he jokes about it being the key to her heart, a littl

drawing up the water from the ocean,
and dropping it,
letting the waves spill from Posiedon's arms,
as he tries to catch the errant tide.
Will the ocean always haunt me?
I can hear the pounding in my dreams;
all the words I have are water,
salted and cold like tears.
Please let me go.

but nobody listens.
Do I talk too much?
Do I listen too little?
Are we just
pretending
the world is never
going to end?
Doomsday is coming.
We talk so much.
I hear you, I hear everyone.
But do I listen?
Little by little
we're losing contact
and the world is coming to its end.
WishmasterA whisper, in cold skies of old, dying starsWishmaster7 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Is heard, and their lingering death
With not one regret turns and scatters in waste,
As realms of shattered humanity haste
To live and to burn out their breath.
Yet soon there's a scream, a small cry of despair
That binds all the skies to avail,
And one daring soul stands behind to convey
His wish to unravel all living dismay,
To bury his past and prevail.
And thus it begins, as no man can escape
The sweet domination of want,
While stars burn and shine, for so he allows,
The master of wishes that hastily vows
To bring forth desires to grant.
But no man can endure the cruel truth behind,

Divided Against A Blackened SkyDivided against a blackened sky,Divided Against A Blackened Sky8 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
No idea where my loyalties lie;
I've been outcast by the people I knew:
I can't find anyone who will stand true.
I fought beside them for so long
I don't know where I went wrong
Now I'm left here alone
Never have I been so far from home.
Walking by myself in the dark
My soul is tearing apart.
Feeling longing for what I lack
But I know I can never go back
Even as the darkness closes in,
This is where I'm supposed to begin
I cannot live, yet I will not die
For I'm divided against a blackened Sky.

Who would've thought all this could be mine?
So long had I dreamed, of these days to come
These things that don't happen, they happen to some
So I favored the chance of impossible things
Of which the wind whispers, of which the birds sing
Far off in the distance, I could see it shine
I only wished that it could be mine
Deep down inside me, I must hesitate
So often I miss it, so often too late
But I couldn't resist it, could not stay away
To reach greatest heights, you must seize the day
So fast I ran towards it, so eager to see
That light that enchanted and beguiled me
I could almost touch

Seek not for what is mine to steal
For in the night I'll surely give
A silver band and golden sword
Beyond a cage of flames and frogs
To frozen walls of ice and snow
Flows through a solemn lullaby
Humming stories to be told
Sing not to me a coward's tale
With sparkling eyes and living breath
Leave a heart like mine to steal
And let a silent message hold
Shield those eyes with ruby gems
Seek not for what is mine to steal
For in the night I'll surely give
A golden helm and silver spear

And sleep compels me to retreat
I grin upon the thought of my blanket's sweet embrace
As I slay the dim candle I earlier lit
Shortly, I am severed from all
To see light once more
And then I spot her, grinning widely,
Composing giggles of four
She invites me in her welcoming home,
Her hands, opened wide toward me
She tells me how fun it is inside,
She tells me it's something I'd love to see
I grin in anticipation,
And lift my hands to reach her
I think of all the wonders I'd see
Stretching my arms further
Then suddenly we are afar in countless kilometers
When we were only a foot away
Neon RainbowAfternoon, I sleep awoken,Neon Rainbow8 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
with a mess inside my mind.
In a place i'll know forever,
I will never leave behind.
But then cobalts call me, sky.
Life in blossom, firefly.
A smile once appears in me,
In rainbow palette,
With a wondered look,
a small sihouette.
Happiness, a burst of sweetness, joy.
Dash of love, and i am just a boy.
A spectrum, imploding heart,
there's no side to back.
Just need breathe, and be alone,
retrieve the attack.
Beauty at day, shining arc.
Fades out away, It's a dream.
When it's not, during night.
Raises upon neon beam.
Now i am able to see.
Not what is, but what will be.
Dream. and never sleep,
