"And where there are pussies, there's milk, I assure
the kind that kittens with mittens adore...",

You can rhyme my name
But my pain is the game of need
But never the bleed of truth
For I am hell on wheels
Without hell

Plated and skating ice
Scorched and blackened by
A heavy hand

Spills the beans no rice
Could twice reheat
The cold stove of feeling
Was a hidden healing
Fuck all those

For the only wood worth revering

SimplicitySometimes simplicity is the answer.Simplicity1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
To find the answer,
Don't look deep.
Look in front of you.
Don't listen to people who say,
'Never regret anything,'
Because chances are,
They regret a lot more than you know.
Listen to your own feelings.
Heart.
Soul.
Because if you don't,
You could lose all of your senses,
And your way.

I see her face when my eyes are closed
She lives in my heart and I in hers
My dark-haired beauty, my soulmate
A lifetime of love; given, accepted
Cherished beyond measure
A love so deep it creates its own space
Where none other dare intrude
A love story for the ages
But some stories are never written
Never put to the pen
For others to marvel and sigh over
To shine through the future as beacons
Of the truth of love
She died before we met
These are the great love stories never written
Lives lived out in the sorrow of the soul

I am not there. I do not sleep.

Of beautiful birds in circling flight.
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom.
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing.
I am in each lovely thing.
So do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there.

Conversing with a bouncing lass, who seemed to be in pain,
Saying, William, when you go, I fear you will ne'er return again.
His hair it does in ringlets hang, his eyes as black as soles,
My happiness attend him wherever he goes,
From Tower Hill, down to Blackwall, I will wander, weep and moan,
All for my jolly sailor bold, until he does return.
My father is a merchant the truth I will now tell,
And in great London City in opulence doth dwell,
His fortune doth exceed ₤300,000 in gold,

There's only so much a person can take
Before they feel like they're gonna fall apart.
We never truly say how we feel.
We keep it locked inside and it just builds.
But now it's time to let it out.
So go ahead and shout.
Just scream your heart out.
Scream 'til there's nothing left!
Scream your heart out!
Now, while you still have the chance
Go ahead and scream.
People think love's just a game.
They play with your heart 'til they grow bored
Then they just throw you away!
Yet you don't even cry.
You simply keep it all locked inside.
But now it's time to let it out.

Two old men sit on a bench parallel with the outer wall of the building.
He stepped inside my lingering footprints and stopped right behind me.
My footsteps echo precious old memories against the walls after I come in.
We were alone.
I'm almost the only one there, and it makes me feel more noticed than I like.
I turned and eyed him.
Everyone stares as I walk into the elevator.
He looked down at me with a faint smirk.
Remembering keeps me from smil

An endless ocean swirls, ethereal waves bewail

For a thousand years, I drifted in her song
lost in restless fever of wanton seas
Gently I reached towards her long silvery hair;

Upon scent of mortal thirst destiny whispered in myriad

Lost in the wine of omni-dreaming, for our passion tis but
the humble audience of eternity
In jeweled horizons the Goddess feasts; her gaze I cannot flee
I have crossed oceans of time & drank the song of worlds
My spirit forever slain in the beauty of her immortal sea
