BeautyBeauty rose out of that silent sea,Beauty7 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms
Her eyes were tepid with wild thunder,
And then she turned and looked at me.
Me; a meagre man who knew no lady fair,
Nor one of care as she snaps my heart asunder.
Beauty flew up to that sinister sky,
Her lips were dark with mad desire,
And then she turned and started to cry.
Cry; a crude curse who knew no mortal smile,
Nor one so vile as she scars my aura in fire.
Beauty stood up on that scarlet skin,
Her locks were rouge with quiet rain,
And then she turned and walked on sin.
Sin; a sordid spirit who knew no lover true,
Nor one in clue as she saves me from my pain.
Paradigm Of The Lost DivineTake my pitiful mind to a better place,Paradigm Of The Lost Divine7 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms
So I can see the brightest stars shine,
In that abysmal hope called space.
To reach out and touch a forbidden face,
Is the greatest gift anyone could find.
For I have witnessed in vast wonder,
The eternity before this epic I ponder,
Where no creature would consider his death.
But who am I to declare what is up or down?
Nothing is the name of hell in which I drown.
Take my woeful heart to a lesser worth,
So I can hear the darkest sighs scream,
In that dismal void called birth.
That genesis of so mysterious a mirth,
Is the coldest curse anyone could dream.
For I have listened to past laught
Rewind/Restart/ReviveWhen all else fails but tears of fear,Rewind/Restart/Revive7 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms
When your love is equal to loathing,
And your hatred just keeps on growing.
Making you forever and forever blind,
Let the raindrops take you and rewind.
When all else dies but stares of despair,
When your care is equal to crying,
And your reason just keeps on lying.
Destroying your sadder and sadder heart,
Let the resonance break you and restart.
When all else burns but pores of boredom,
When your hope is equal to howling,
And your liberty just keeps on scowling.
Trusting you'll never and never survive,
Let the righteous kiss you and revive.
SymphonyA vibration synonymous with rhythmSymphony8 months ago in Free Verse
Pulsates as bipedal motions power
my heart. One deep breath, then
two. Excitement crawls up my
throat and bursts forth in song.
First come the hips, swerving
side to side. Then legs kicking
high. Amateurish as it may be,
My body follows the symphony.
Life gushes through my veins,
Pulsates as bipedal motions power
A vibration synonymous with rhythm,
Amateurish as it may be,
My body follows the symphony.
Fear, happiness, sorrow,
A molding of emotions gather
in my chest. They guzzle from
my tongue even as my body
begs for rest. One breath,
Two.
My body follows the symphony.
The Ravens of ValhallaO’er desolate shores wept the fate of immortal flamesThe Ravens of Valhalla7 months ago in Free Verse
And into a Winter sun I bleed my dreams,
as a thousand years of love & war dressed the sky
Long-ships sailed to the otherworld upon Odin’s breath
Betwixt night and day I wandered, shimmering, peering
— Till my chalice of Dragons blood flowed but no more
I became a warrior lost in the stars, drifting, ever falling,
Until the shadows entombed my soul in Raven-lore
Lo the tempest eerie; ‘magick entwining spirit and flesh
Upon snow I awoke dreary, beneath winged-silhouettes
‘Couldst be, my Princess adored; — last of the Valkyrie!
I recall — myriad of
Frankly my Dear!My heart broken, will it mend?Frankly my Dear!8 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms
Many letters I have penned
Changed my tune, no longer defend
Frankly my dear I don't give a damn.
Dressed to kill, special night out
Date is late, my feelings he flouts
Knock on door, then I shout
Frankly my dear I don't give a damn.
Birthday present bought with care
Happy day we plan to share
Nose turns up, he will not wear
Frankly my dear I don't give a damn.
Painful prompt, trying to write
Aspiring poet up all night
Paper torn, ideas not right
Frankly my dear I don't give a damn.

The FallingThe FallingThe Falling1 year ago in Free Verse
Upon malodorous rapture of orphaned darkness,
eternal melancholy becomes twisted and hollow
In the severed reflections of sanguine shadows,
we will drown in ruby tears of pain and sorrow
Whispers of odium seep gently into my dreams...
The Raven lingers in solemn clouds dark as coal
My blood surges like a chorus of bitter requiem
And my lips — the anathema of your dying soul
Dark lust hums like a cold tide of weeping voices
Perfumed in ash & bone, hallucinations imbue —
Blood soaked robes hang from my slender bride,
shimmering like scarlet threads under ebon skies
After sable petals fall upon my beloved's gra
My EndymionI was never a fond of love;My Endymion9 months ago in Free Verse
I never invited it into my bed,
nor gave it my tears.
Not that it would ask.
And yet tears I do now give,
in sacrifice.
To a man who never asked nor incited such feelings.
Feelings that crowd my mind,
And weigh my chest down.
With uncontrolled emotions that spire into fires of passion.
Pretty words seeming so small to describe,
the obsolete moment of truth that banishes dreams for reality.
Oh how the light so gently touches you,
and that smile.
That gives me a smile of my own.
This is a tragedy of situation my friend.
Sorrow for joy;
my dear Endymion.
Death Of LegendIgnite hell's biting bullets that scorch and sting,Death Of Legend8 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms
Against heaven's armies that stand and sing.
When the might of garish gods befalls us all,
Where nations crumble and meek mortals fall,
Then celestial suicide will be our fate's call.
Skies will turn to smoke and seas will burn to steam,
Demons will howl. Angels will die. Men will dream.
To believe in an eternal peace beyond war's breath,
No more to suffer through eyes that despair death,
Never to crumble hearts into pits of blackened dust.
Blind hell's hope that bring waves of ruin and rust,
Against heaven's anguish that bring terror and trust.
When the sight of humble humanity
The Tears Of The EarthWhat would you do if the world stopped,The Tears Of The Earth7 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms
Spinning and swirling to a systematic halt?
Would you climb to a mountain majestically high,
Raise your eyes up to the finite electric universe,
And reflect on the redemption of a death so diverse.
Veins line the black with faults of blood,
And I can hear the crazed howls of horror,
Erupt up from the centre of an empty Earth.
Screams swell to scorch the skies above me,
Where sunlight fades to freeze the faces I see.
What would you do if the world finished,
Falling and frolicking to a fatalistic end?
Would you swim to a sea seductively low,
Embrace your demise in that endless dark space,

EmilieEmilie sits upon the shelfEmilie8 months ago in Songs & Lyrics
A pretty doll in a shop
She sits and waits for her time to come
Until her loneliness stops
She waits and waits, full of false hope
That someone will come take her home
But when all the other dolls have been bought
She wonders why she's still alone
She spends her time thinking about
Her imaginary faults
Assuming that she's ugly because
Why else has she not been sold?
And to this day, she's wanted to say
Why am I the only doll that's still here?
She's fed up of loneliness, fed up of waiting
For something she once had that disappeared
Emilie sits upon the shelf
A pretty doll in a shop
She sits and wai
Lie To MeFingertips lace around my ribsLie To Me8 months ago in Free Verse
And pull at my skin
As my breath catches
At the coolness of your touch.
Calm these trembling hands
And hold them tight in yours.
I'll move my lips on yours
Just so you don't have to.
Hearts beat faster and
My breath shudders with insecurity.
Press my body close to yours
So I don't shatter into fragments.
Lie to me one more time.
Tangle your legs in mine,
Brush your lips along my neck.
Make me feel alive.
A HAUNTED PLACEBeyond the silhouette of my mind undone,A HAUNTED PLACE7 months ago in Free Verse
far beyond the skeletons of undead things
that wait for the unaware to draw near,
there lies another world, a haunted place
that bleeds in me, I can feel it dripping
blood a thousand shades of Darkness,
I can feel it scattering far and further
inside words scarlet extreme, it tells me
not to get lost to the corrosion of Yesterday
as it whispers tick tock...your life is
trickling away, through my splayed fingers
my blood drips, keeping time to the pendulum
that ticks in me, but I hear a crunching
beneath my feet...I look down and see that
I am standing on a pile of pulverized bones
and ca
Water Bomb"Water Bomb"Water Bomb8 months ago in Free Verse
Everyday my little boat
Becomes filled with more and more water
My shoes are starting to get soaked
Like lambs unaware in the slaughter
There seems to be some kind of hole
Just big enough for water to get through
The hole isn't big by any means
But I don't know what to do
And everyday my little boat
Sinks deeper and deeper in the sea
I can't rewrite the script I wrote
I can't undo what is to be
The hole now becoming cracks
I tried to plug with paint and clay
With barrels full of whole grain sacks
But even still the boat decayed
And I just can't stop this water
From seeping in little by little
Every damn crack a

Once from the soul,
second from the heart,
third from the mind,
and this we call revision.
Weeping WillowThe weeping willow cries out for youWeeping Willow7 months ago in Free Verse
to come back to us once again
it wants to hold you in its branches
as it did when there were, better days
sadly you had to say goodbye
and slowly you fell asleep
underneath your willow
and for you it still weeps
The Lady Will Be GoodThe lady will be goodThe Lady Will Be Good1 year ago in Free Verse
with her promises of parcely and wheat
of sparkling night times, of music
and laughter.
Her arms will caress the privelaged
She will turn her back to the ignorant
But oh yes, certainly
The lady will be good
with her promises of rosemary and daisies
of hot summers, of magic
and wonder.
Her legs are integrity
and they hold firmly
from sea to sea
But oh yes! Indeed
The lady will be good
For her heart is warm
like good whiskey
Her mind is cold as
the silver coin
Ice will form at the borders
of her skin
scring her secuity
and still I promise
The lady will be good
and she will spit in the face

ZeroTonight I'm flying away on my tears,Zero7 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms
Because all the stars have faded away,
When my darkness devoured the day.
Oh why am I fused to yield these fears,
When all I touch shatters into shards.
Today I'm screaming out for salvation,
It's a consensus of my chaotic concentration.
Can I ever stop the slumber of the night,
It's saps my strength to sting my sight,
But let my wings soar higher than my worth.
Tonight I'm sailing away in my veins,
Because all the birds have soared away,
When my weakness wrecked the way.
Oh why am I riled to wield these reins,
When all I touch crumbles into cards.
Today I'm crying out for consideration,

HateHate1 year ago in Free Verse
Vile cold word
Describes the most despised emotion
No one loves it
Everyone fears it
Its edges cut deep into tender hearts
Absorbed and relished by hollow hearts
There is no escape
It lurks in the darkest part of the mind
Waiting to strike at any moment
The moment where the mind fails
Nothing is left between Hate and the body
Hate mutilates all love and care
Leaves the flesh scarred and cold
There is no room for love
Hate consumes all
There is no escape.
Unwanted GodhoodYou're such a faithful acolyteUnwanted Godhood1 year ago in Free Verse
I know you'd be here til the end
But I think it's time for me to go
Because what I need is a friend
Being worshiped gets old pretty fast
I'm not a god walking amongst men
Most of the time I admire such devotion
I'd just like to be human once again
You've put me up on a pedestal
And make sure there isn't any dust
If you had your way I'd be spotless
Devoid of things like rage and lust
The flaws I possess make me human
Perhaps that isn't enough in your eyes
Being the ideal is quite stressful
Which is why it's time to say our goodbyes
At first the god treatment was alright
Over time it just pulled
