You're My PoisonI'm dyingYou're My Poison5 months ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
The pain seeps through
Clutching at my heart
Ripping it to shreds,
You merely watch
Pretending you're not the cuase
Seeing me die slowly
Every time you leave me,
But you return
As you always do
Slowly sucking the poison out
That you yourself placed
And i begin to forget,
Just for a moment,
And fall back into love with you again.
And with every kiss
Every time we fuck
Every second i spend loving you,
I feel the poison
Seeping back into my heart
And with everytime you leave me
i begin to die again
While you pretend not to see.
You're the poison and the antitode
My killer and saviour
The reason i want to live
While i slit my wrists,

I have a feeling I will have a pleasant night
But I get to be alone so i'll turn off the lights
Christmas I shall solo but i'll be alright
It would be nice if someone could save me tonight
From this emptiness and all the loneliest fright

I swear
I never stopped loving you
Wishes of Dreams RepeatedWe had dreamsWishes of Dreams Repeated5 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
in places we never knew
they could get stuck but
we rolled and played just the same.
Tomorrow could be for thoughts,
that night the sea and sky were all that mattered.
Apologetic imprecision mocks
the unknown movements in this new dance
and our awkward bodies strove to find hold amongst
sand sinking in like some borrowed waterbed
with objections, or a desire to join in our timeless frolic.
My smile lapsed with the sudden seriousness
of breaths with meaning-- of questioning eyes.
But her eyes told only of sand soaked dreams
of that moment lost in places where time fails
and eternity stands on the end of a thumbna
No RegretsNo regretsNo Regrets1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
Not a word
Not a hug
Not a kiss
I regret nothing
Even through
The tears
The hurt
And the pain
I can say
I regret nothing
Every word i said
Every action
Everything I promised
All truth
Not a lie
I love you
Even if it kills me
I cant forget
I have no regrets
Six months gone
But you are still
My best friend
You hurt me
I don't know
When i'll be ok
But I still love you
I will always be
There for you
Because I promised
Because you are
Worth it
Because...
You are a best friend
And I forgive you.

Give me a Chance
-----------------
Give me a chance to love and hope,
Please whisk my troubles away.
Give me a chance to be forgiven,
To stand at the edge of dawn and day.
Give me a chance to watch time pass by,
not letting my time slip through.
Give me a chance to fly through the wind,
Up to the Sky of Blue.
Give me a chance to reach the sparkling stars,
The heavens high above.
Give me a Chance to be myself,
And be myself to be loved...

Cherishing Life
---------------
There once was a man, who told me,
The World can be seen in many ways,
He guided me out of my doorstep,
To taste the fresh dawn of day,
He said to me,
"Look beyond the shadows,
The Dark Times that are ahead,
Look at the world you live in,
There is nothing not to cherish from living to dead,
Look at the ones, who hold you close,
The promises they have made,
Look at the Warm Hearts that surround you,
The blooming buds and the springs and Ponds to wade,
The kindness of others to blossom,
The trees that stands so tall,
Will you my friend protect them?
Or let the world only fall?
You are a small lit

Twin of my brethren youth,
This forest is thou own.
Sworn to the faces of the moon
And the silver, Divinity bestows.
Off the hunt, and above the hounds -
Life within the bow.
Fairest maiden of many calls,
This forest is thou own.
Archer of the gleaming dart,
My sister of the dualist two -
The nymphs have sworn their oath,
To the daughter who runs with wolves.
Favoured by Zeus and amongst all Gods,
Man played no part in this -
No part in the making of this maiden.
Thy fair Goddess, Artemis.

too lush to be anything but bridges.
Winding through windows
the wind chimes slowly,
mingles the threads of your brown hair
with the voice of horses wild, unseen,
brought from the steppes of common place heaven
to the machination of light that surrounds you,
city dwelling fox of the fiery tome
of unreason.
In this catastrophic miracle that is my dream,
in this cosmic clutter of symbols
and names
where the histories are meaningless
and bones turn to stone
and stones fly,
launched from the small hands of children;
in this reckless melody first heard
so many dreams ago, this compositi
The Clock StruckThe Clock Struck7 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
The clock struck nine
The illusion of a beautiful woman
What madness can this be?
She is calling out to me
My name… my name on her lustful lips
And now my hands pressed on her hips
Oh! Her smile! Her caress!
That croon which must be blessed!
The clock struck ten
The temptations of a temptress
This woman, so beautiful in every way,
With my heart, she does recklessly play
Her eyes so dark, yet brightly glowing
Her hair so soft and gently flowing
Her skin so silky cannot be soiled
But to the touch, is so deathly cold
The clock struck eleven
The prayer without the belief
What this gorgeous being is, I don't bother
Yet hold
Can't Be SavedI tried to save myselfCan't Be Saved6 months ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
But I'm as hopeless as before
So, I uncap the bottle;
Swallow the pills and fall to the floor
I'm laughing on the way down
Smiling as my head hits the ground
Because what's lost, as they say,
Can never be found
So my soul travels the universe
On a barren alienated path
Death played a joke,
But I had the last laugh
I didn't go to Heaven
And I didn't go to Hell
I've been caught in between
Since the moment that I fell
When you see my corpse
Will you die to?
Will you go the grave
Knowing that my reason was you?
Did you realize that
You were in my last thoughts?
That trying not to love you
Was the last battle I ever fou
Unfold, Part IIHear me read itUnfold, Part II6 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
My bones are creaking.
I hear them gossiping while I sleep,
and they talk of me.
They call me maddened.
They say that the blackness,
the ravenous cave, has devoured me.
They talk of me,
as if I am not here. Am I?
This was my safe space,
I, cacooned
In the warmth of my own breath
Now it cages me.
My fingernails grow so long
That they pierce through the paper
and my eyes go wide to see
fragmented light once more.

'Hear my call, Dragonlord!
For in my sleep, I have met your Queen...'
They cast me in shadows, dark and deep,
Bound me by blood, flesh and skin,
Broken bones unable to heal...
They closed behind them gates of steel,
Condemned me to pain by erasing my name.
'And had she not came, I would've met my bane...'
Fear run trough me as she spoke.
The DragonQueen opened my eyes,
Showed me the truth from the lies,
And brought me here before she had to disappear
Back to the Darkness...
But even dead she had
A golden sun shining in her eye and
The wind from the distant North
Bringing her forth...
It's only because of her that
The Eyes of the Painted HeiressOnce upon a time, in a country that was prosperous, and settled many miles away from the sea, an heiress to the throne was born. She was blessed in having soft hair of a deep brown colouring; tiny beauty marks that rarified her skin at intervals; and eyes the exact blue of the night sky, which had been bequeathed to her from her dear father, the King. She was both impressive and endearing, in the ways she moved and spoke as she grew older, so that the Queen esteemed her the prettiest rose of all the ages, no matter that she was still a long while away from blooming.The Eyes of the Painted Heiress9 months ago in Short Stories More Like This

The Two StreamsDrifting down between the riverside treesThe Two Streams10 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Early afternoon sunlight kisses you
As your raft glides over the clear water
Your focus is held by the horizon
In the distance, a split in the river
Presents itself, and you must make a choice,
Similar to one Robert Frost once faced
And like him, you stand in uncertainty
The one stream appears in a wilder form
Verdure bulging over it unrestrained
Keeping the sunshine from touching water
As if it welcomes neither man nor beast
It offers danger... and adventure too.
The other stream seems safer to explore
The plants on either side yield evidence
Of passage made by creatures unharasse
Written in BloodThis is my pain, written in blood,Written in Blood5 months ago in Concrete Poetry More Like This
How deep it runs, its ceaseless flood,
Droplets of scarlet splash onto white,
My deep red sorrow, crimson and bright,
Blood-drops of agony splah onto the floor,
Searing pain bleeding through all of my pores,
This is my pain, spelled out for you,
Pooled on the ground in visible view,
It's written on the walls for all to see,
And yet nobody seems to connect it to me,
This is my pain,
It's driving me insane,
This is my pain,
Written in blood but all in vain.
FlameI am the flameFlame6 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Burning bright in the night
Guiding the world
Radiant in light
Greedy and generous
I shine without fear
Come try and smother me
You'll burn if you dare
Blazing the trails
The future I'll spark
Kindling the flame
That lives in your heart
Fear me and use me
I am friend, I am foe
Tool for destruction
Of everything you know
Remember my power
Lest you be burned
When my anger is tested
And my rage is unfurled.
Burning to embers
I'll ignite again
Always existing
Charismatic to the end

A LongingThere is a placeA Longing6 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
I’ve been longing to reach
But I end up struggling
With reality
I try to take a needed breath in,
But it does not relieve my soul
I need my time…
They act as if
I’ve committed a crime
All I really wish to do
Is run away
I try to act as if I were fine,
But inside I am crying
This routine is become detrimentally repetitive,
I’m wasting my time trying
You can’t control me for eternity
You’re pushing me down,
And it will not be beneficial
If I’m trying to find my way,
To the place I long for

Why do i keep saing no?
But still, it couldn't be.
It couldn't be.
Friends remain friends.
Neither more nor less.
But why do I feel heartache?
This isn't right.
I couldn't be...could I?
I'm hiding something.
I'm denying something.
But what is it?
Why cant I figure it out?
Why is it so hard for me to sort it out?
The only thing i know is that...
I'm denying.
