Does Death Hurt?Does death hurt?Does Death Hurt?3 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
When the knife digs into flesh
do you fall into your knees in pain
or simply in shock of motion?
When you slip away in the dark of sleep
does the dream still remain
as you travel to worlds unknown?
When the drugs hit your body
does your heart stop suddenly
or can you feel the imminent end?
When the noose slips tight
does your head feel heavy
and your limbs feel numb?
When the water rushes in
to the castle only of air
can you feel your breath cut off?
When the dirt piles over
and the air runs out
can you feel the choking?
So riddle me this,
oh master of death,
does it hurt to die?

And exhaled me
Taking in deap slow breathes
But breathing out fast
When she holds you
You breathe her in
With each moan
Every time you say her name
You exhale me
In time back I filled your lungs
I was spreading
I was in your cells
I traveled into your muscles
I made your heart beat
With each beat you took more of me
You could feel me
I was in your being
I was part of you
I didn't mind

Faded Memories of YouThink back to the days,Faded Memories of You4 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
The days that we remained,
Tight in each other's arms.
"Together forever 'til we fall apart".
Back over the times,
The times that we stayed,
Under the blanket.
"Here with you, I will always be safe".
Through the moments,
The moments in which we kissed,
Like nobody else would love you more.
"I promise, only you I shall adore".
The secrets you told,
The love that we hold,
It all starts to crash down.
"Together forever 'til we fall apart".
I wander alone,
Setting myself to the danger,
Of this world.
"Here with you, I will always be safe".
Time to let go,
Leaving only memories to remain.
You and me, now alone.

What Is My Life?What is my life?What Is My Life?3 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
A world of self-hate.
Hardship and strife;
the kiss of fate.
An inner hurricane,
an innocence slain.
A tear shed,
and a bead of blood red,
along with the pain.
The screams in my head
could wake the dead,
and my thoughts
are heavy like lead.
The outside is wrong
and the inside's a mess.
My heart is still beating,
but my eyes are lifeless.
Loving the DepressedTrying so hard to bring you blissLoving the Depressed3 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
I’ll kiss away your loneliness
Just to bring back some happiness
Which you so sorely seem to miss
Yet the farther I reach, the more you fade
Still, there’s nothing left to say
How do I help you when you cry?
What do I say when you want to die?
Please my love, just come to bed
Lie down with me, and rest your head
Let me hold you, oh, so tight
So you can finally sleep through the night
Stolen KissI wish I was a poem. I wish I could be summed in three stanzas and bring shimmering relief to literature students on dreary Monday mornings. I wish to be the sugar they sprinkle into tea they drink from carnival glass to make them relax. If only they could read and have me brush along their jawlines, tingle in their fingertips like the lit fuse on a firecracker. If they read me aloud I would taste of pureed flowers, frost thin and light with marigold their every spoken word.Stolen Kiss3 months ago in Free Verse More Like This

Nightmare, Nightmare!Nightmare, nightmare!Nightmare, Nightmare!3 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Lost and unaware.
Drowning in my despair.
Look me in the eyes;
tell me this is fair!
Shelter from these dark skies
is impossible to find.
Demands, demands!
If no one understands,
how can anyone care?
Tears fall as I stare
at my life,
a wasteland so bare.
Tragedy, tragedy!
someone hold me steady!
Help me escape this fate
before it's over;
before it's too late!
Blind, blind!
Sickness of the mind,
cruel and unkind.
no respite will I find...
Ringing, ringing!
Can't you hear the voices singing
of the death knell?

over and over until
i am raw, and new, and alive again.
i want to sew my eyes shut
and be blind until
there is something worth seeing.
i want to hibernate through this era
and stay asleep until
the next ice age comes
and the slate of this planet
has been wiped clean,
i want to begin again,
i want to change,
i want to transform into something
that can survive her own mind.
i want to escape,
i want to run away,
i want to create something new.
i want to be found in every lonely soul-mate,
in every last goodbye,
in every broken home,
in every single person,
under 'new-found hope.'

My heart would beat faster when I looked into your eyes.
Even then, as I held you warmly in my arms,
Every word you said put me under your charm.
Dozing off, I sent you a little smile.
And told you that it’s fine to fall asleep for a while.
When you awoke, the sun was setting for its own time to sleep.
So I pulled you close and breathed in so deep.
Quietly, in the dark, I slowly fell in love.
Gently in my arms, I called you my little dove.
Room 406Sit upon the bed,Room 4063 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
And meditate,
Staring at the blank walls,
Reminisce on the bygone deed.
Her blood staining the carpet,
And your hands,
You should burn in the tar pit,
But live grand.
That evil smirk,
Upon thy face,
Leaves ugly lines,
Across your visage.
You go insane,
With sporadic guilt,
Influx of pain,
But the blood is spilled.
Your conscience wrestles,
With your madness,
"What do I do ?!?!",
You scream in the mirror.
Before you think,
You're on the windowsill,
Jump to your doom,
And become one with the pavement.
The Melody of a Love SongThe way you move me,The Melody of a Love Song3 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Like the melody of a love song,
Stuck on replay.
“Fly away with me”,
Said the lyrics.
As you warm my hand with yours.
As your voice draws to a whisper,
The sweet beat slows.
Chills and goosebumps overflow my body.
And when we kiss,
The melody silences.
But only for a moment.
Now I can hear your heart pound,
Raging to it’s own beat.
Your own love song.

is this what we amount to?
martyrs of a dead world left sacrifice to a destitute
where our childhoods have missed every ladder only attracted to the chutes
till we find rock bottom and decided to learn to tie our shoes.
did you do it because they told you to?
or where you tired of the playground tripping you?
or how you ran and lost a shoe
afraid one day they'd chastise you, tell you look what you have to lose
but its just a shoe kid, keep runnin
they want you to turn around, they want you to stay
first its read your books, do your chores, watch what you say

And his back arches as she takes control.
It’s a deadly spiral,
One that will lead to angry words and violent hands.
For now though they’re an endless tangle of limbs and emotions.
They say love is the cruelest poison,
And others whisper it’s the kindest venom.
He knows it is slowly killing him,
And she has already accepted the misery.
So she rakes her nails down his back,
And he leaves ink like bruises upon her hips.
Her hair tangles in his crushing grip,
And she draws blood from his neck.
Love me,
She hisses.
Shut up,
He demands.
They move fast,
Dauntlessly so.

Fading.
Soaked in
With the clotting
Heat.
Everyone loses
Skin,
No rewards
For the great risk.
Lingering
On the deck,
In solemn prayer,
Hoping the next call brings
Comfort,
I try to stop
The rapid rotation.
I never knew a stranger
So well,
As I know you.
Everyone loses
Skin.
My words touch
The cold tones
Ripping,
Through the unanswered phone.
Breaking to clutch,
Your camaraderie slipping
Into darkness.
Everyone loses
Skin,
But don't cut loose
Just yet.

It whispered in my dreams.
I heard the pounding in my chest,
And felt the patter of its feet.
I wish to never be apart
From this feeling so agleam.
In this music I feel rest,
In this simple, strong heartbeat.
And though we must depart
For ages as it seems,
My memories are blessed
And your love makes me complete.

Paper-thin cuts rock and ivory like half-molten butter
but you
(you and the barely-there tap of your nails, the eerie clicks that do not echo but nonetheless linger)
convince it to sound like
a voluntary death, a willing surrender,
instead of mere sweet murder
Perhaps you have put this same spell over me
You’d play; I’d listen,
Sitting enchanted and near enough to see how the light breaks on your hair the same way your fingers build and break,
Create and abandon
Cherish and spurn like overstrained lovers
Your favourite was the fresh twitter of staccato notes

Reminder SyndromeI smell him on my bedReminder Syndrome3 months ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
I keep seeing him everywhere,
I feel him wrapped around me
His lips, his hand, on mine
No place is spared the memories
The couch, the car
My house isn’t safe by far
But most of all
I smell him on my bed
Feel him on my skin, in my body
I feel him long after he’s gone
Not even a goodbye kiss
Barely a hug, barely a glance
He said he loved me
Now he’s left, gone back home
And can I smell him on my bed

The Birth of WaterThe clouds swelled and strolled across the sky like great grey whales making an annual trek across a placid black ocean. Wind, the force that was herding the clouds along, was also nipping and pinching frigidly at the bare skin of my back. The skies blinked once--twice in a row, a three second show of purple light. My head tilted back, my eyebrows lifted like kites on my face. I watched the sky with eager longing. Another flash of purple lightning. Mother Nature was teasing me. The clouds were pregnant with the ocean's child, and I was humbly waiting, shirtless in the parking lot, for them to give birth to the desert rain.The Birth of Water3 months ago in Stories & Vignettes More Like This
