It's weird, rereading my poetry a few days/weeks later. Like I didn't even write it...

i feel that way a lot about my writing.

Trying to make the pieces unfit

Only hours had she passed,
And we argued over colors.

"Purple,"I squeaked out, fighting to be heard.

Blues and oranges and yellows.
I wanted to shout at a soul
Whose hands I'd never hold again.

Perfumes were taken,
A rocking chair, a scarf, some jewelry.
Pilfering the last of the monarch who left us.

Like it was common sense.
It turned my stomach.

I run from inane things

I let the fire
Of morning
Catch me.

And though
I run through
The woods scared,
In the arms of the sun,
I feel safe.

Everything's blue

Everything's blue in this world.
The scissors by my side,
Take a ride and fall into the dizzy of sleep.
In my dreams, where gramma meets me,
We sit on the old couch and watch movies
While I cry because I haven't seen her in so long
And I've nothing at all to say.
When I ask a question, it goes unanswered until
We get up and part ways and I feel like
Crying even harder because I've said very little
And I don't know when we'll meet again.
A lump of sadness sits in my throat; the walls melt
As I fall into reality and hit the alarm clock's snooze button,
And try with all my might to fall asleep again.
I missed the comfort of gramma by my side.
Now I walk the world feeling jaded,
Lost in the shade without a shadow to follow.
I'm at the crux without a crutch to catch me and
I write notes of my impending death, hoping to find
The right words to say goodbye, but instead
Finding volumes of silence spreading upon the papers edge.
There is always a fine line to cross, and I'd
Cross them all to get to that other side.

This is one of my favorite recent poems. I'm in a bad way and I can scream it all I want but I get no help. I was left without a therapist and I miss him a lot and I feel like I'm teetering on the edge of a long fall. I'm probably going to jump. Don't take it personal. Or ignore it. Everyone else has.

All Saints Day

I'm scared of the shadows.
The ghouls with their candy apple lips gleam
In the soft light of the full moon.
I shuffle like a zombie starving for flesh.
I'm a demon shining headstones, looking for a way.
But they keep following, spooky little faces
With no bodies.
They don't wear the masks like I do,
Disappearing into the fog.
They give me candy.
Poisonous bits of knowledge I can't help but swallow down.
The toxins slink around my insides like a sleek black cat.
My skeleton shivers from within.
I don't bother to run anymore.
I feel more a ghost than ever and I fall into
The graveyard, like a monster being taken down.
The moonlight covers me like a blanket
And soon I am smothered like a mummy.
The October wind fades away and all saints come out to play.
The black is still warm, the orange slides across the sky,
Like melted butter falling from a dish.
My thoughts are spindly, like spider legs, and
I'm still scared of the shadows.

The Fly

There is nothing left
As the mirror falls
And screams shards of glass
All over the floor.

...where I will eventually walk.

My reflection in pieces,
Now I feel released and able to wander
Without tears stinging my eyes
At each remembrance of the
Hate that ruined me.

Life is brittle.

I finally exhale the recycled air in my lungs
And the abuse that goes with it.
The pain rises like a welt in my mind.

I keep death in my hand,
Maybe there are times to let it go,
To hold love instead.

The shadows are ever long against the wall
And the scars go deeper than even I can see.

I'm driven. I've been maimed from all angles.

I release diffidence from my mouth and
Watch as it flits in the air, looking for news.
I watch it battle fire and ice,
Like a fly promoting peace, touching everything
That ever hurt...

...that ever hurt, whether in reality or dream.

I have let my heart beat when
I wanted to shut it down.
I've let my lungs breathe when
I wanted to hold it all in.

I've lived in spite of all that has transpired.

All that is left are the tears that walk down my cheeks
And fall together on the palms of my hands.

For once and for all, I hold my soul and prove to
All the world (or maybe just myself) that no one ever held it but me.

STD

It is true.
I don't know love,
Or how it moves mountains.

I don't know how it breezes
In
&
Out
Of a persons life.

And I probably wouldn't want to.

I don't know the nature of the beast,
Or the waterfall that romance provides.

I find love like I find most monsters;
Scared and hiding in dark corners,
Begging to not be seen.

In my forest of hate, love does not
Provide the stream of moonlight to
Help guide me through.

Nor is it a shiny star in the sky,
Made special for me.

Love is a bear trap I try not to get my foot caught in.

Hugs and kisses do make me cringe,
I am meek and I fear germs.
I do not think the transference of spit is sweet.

In the darkness of my life,
Love has not provided sunlight.
The dusk and the dawn are not powered by the beating heart.

I believe in caring, and not being an asshole,
But in my garden of despair, love does not bloom.

I am a creature of the night.
Love is not a flashlight.

Love is an eerie cretin, a germ, a toxin that
Spreads delight faster than a whore spreading her legs.
It is an STD and I don't want it.

Love is not beautiful, love maims.
Love is the darkest corners of my mind,
And the greed in my heart.
Love is society's collapse, and the hope that it brings.
Love is perverted and sad,
Love is no friend of mine.

But I keep the light on anyways.

Really well done. I felt very lonely as I read this. You are beautiful.

Thanks Rogue and N for your thoughts. I really liked how that one turned out. I only wish I could share it with more people. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks on these terms.

I made the angel Gabriel my bitch

My wish took flight on leathery wings.
A demon once an angel,
The nighttime is my shadow and
I lurk for the lost souls begging god for one more chance.
I sink my teeth into their hearts
And take away the love they harbored for themselves.
The vain and the belligerent all became my soldiers
And I felt nothing when I slayed them.
I turned the angel Gabriel into my whipping boy
And hope his messages never make it home.
I showed him the glory in lust, made him a creature
Of habit who keeps knocking on my door for more.
His calm demeanor I destroyed,
For passion, for rage, for the disease of hatred
That lives in us all.
I dress in the darkest purple,
I bleed the blackest blood and laugh
A most deafening growl that poisons the minds of many.
I followed the angels, side by side; we were one until
I led them, like lemmings, off the cliff with cut wings
And watched them scatter into humans.
There is no god; there is no devil;
There is only me, a hellion made of flame and malice
Dancing circles of sin in the sky.
They would need an army of heaven and hell to stop me, but
I play by my own rules and dare all muses, all gods,
All heathens, all seraphim to catch me at my own game.
I play for all sides; I play by myself.

This poem here is part of a series I've been working on. Not finished yet and the one after this one might be the end. Not entirely sure yet.

The Fallen Seraphim

I wake up in a blistering heat,
The hole in my chest burning hotter
Than these hell fires.

Satan walks away. I let him.
My qualms are with someone else.
My war is with Lucifer,
Who turned his back on me years ago,
Taking my heart in a harsher way than Satan ever could.

A smile grazes my face as I spot my victim.

I stalk him into the caverns of Hades,
I tiptoe and follow his every move.

Lucifer the Almighty becomes my prey,
The way countless others have become his.
My black billowy wings tingle beneath my cloak,
I pull the hood down over my eyes.
I have him cornered.

What we once shared is dead, and I am here
To fulfill a deed.

I come up behind him and he slowly turns.
He tries to gave into my eyes but I won't let him.
He tries to trick me with passion but I've no heart anymore.
I cannot be fooled by his false lust for me.

I raise my flaming sword, pull off my hood and finally
Meet his dark eyed gaze.

I keep telling myself I am fulfilling a deed, a duty,
That once I am allowed to return to heaven,
I will be rewarded with silver wings.

But I hesitate.

"Look at all you've maimed to get this far, including yourself,"
Lucifer says in his deep, rich voice.
For a moment, I lower my sword and stare.
"Ending me won't earn your entry back home."

He walks away from me and I'm stumped.
Not having a heart, I'm not sure what to feel.

As Lucifer takes his leave, I sneak up behind him,
Slice off his leathery black wings and fly out of there,
Listening to his wails and screams.

He curses me, over and over again.
I fly out of the depths of hell as minions of the dark lord
Attempt to swarm me and take me down.

The hellions try to enter my mind and I fight
To lock them out.

Finally, I make it out.
It is nighttime and the stars are dancing.
I fly wherever I can't be found,
Small tears escaping my eyes.
I was unaware that not having a heart would still
Cause me this pain.

Suddenly, heaven doesn't seem like enough of a reward.

Misery loves mental illness

In my head, the devils are singing.
Playfully at first, but with vigor and rage,
Turning sour at a moment's notice.
I let them giggle with sickness,
Trying to shake them out, like
Water caught in my ear.
Reluctant to leave, I let them rent space
In my thoughts, in my mind.
To be without them is to be lonely,
And I'm not that same girl anymore.

The Summation of a Survivor

It was thick as regret,
A pipe of thought that
Courses its way from your heart
To your deadened mind.
Memories glowed like dying candles,
But nothing could outshine
This sludge-like darkness.
It crawled like a beast and
Smothered you at every turn.
It pulls the one stitch that
Keeps you from falling apart, then laughs
As you turn into a heap of nothingness.
It is a machine that runs on hatred,
Not gasoline or batteries.
It has an everlasting engine that will
Cut you down once you turn your back on it.
It was the ugliest thing in the world,
Swollen with rage and depression
And vomiting degradation in your face.
While it causes you to twitch in fear,
It can only giggle at your discomfort.
It does not care, it cannot!
It waits until you sleep
To lay its eggs and if you sleep no more,
It will attack you once the
Sun slinks away.
I fought the cowardly animal,
I still fight it day and night,
Trying to find common ground
But basically lost in its insanity.
I clog the pipe and run away!
I destroy the machine and pawn the parts!
I put out those glowing embers of malevolence!
I strengthen the stitch that keeps me from falling apart!
And for what?
To fight another day with this creature?
To maybe win and maybe lose?
I survive constantly with this reminder
Slowly eating instability into my brain,
Knowing that I can keep fighting
Until my heart gives out;
Knowing that I will keep fighting, even after my heart gives out.

"One man looks at a dying bird and thinks there's nothing but unanswered pain. That death's got the final word, it's laughing at him. Another man sees that same bird, feels the glory, feels something smiling through it."
-The Thin Red Line

Torment the tormentor if you must, or declaw, delimb, and disassemble if you can, but the point I think is to create a calm companion of the wild animal that stalks us... to accept the inevitable and enjoy what we have, now, for all it is worth that we might miss in our fear of losing 'it'.

Sometimes, the beast will not be tamed but, I can only try to coexist with it.

Victim Anonymous

The ugly I tried to melt away has become plastered to my mind.
In memory of all that I reject,
I wander aimlessly, looking for a cure to the incurable.
Though my heart is rendered empty,
I fill it with apathy and hope that it can mend
The pathetic lesion that anger grew.

Malice be damned, I want to erect sunsets
Where only darkness can dwell.

Creation is hideous in my thoughts,
How I believed I was born with a higher power
Only to have been designed for burdens.
Can our precious deity lift such horrors from my mind
While intricate mazes of disorder are being birthed
From the chaos that dances throughout my daydreams?

Why do the free get to strut while I continue to die?

The benevolence is invisible now, an echo of a memory
Left transient in this blackout mess.

I miss laughter and the scent it left behind.
It comes in waves, this compunction.
It leaves sickly sweet stains as it slithers about.
What an allusion, bringing me to my knees like a beggar.

And I would beg,
Beg for ignorance in such a deafening voice that the gods
Would be fools to ignore me now.

It is only when the earth stands still that I can hear the refusal.
And if ever I am to be adored, it is by the wind, which
Passes the memory to me like a dream in retrospect.

It makes no difference and yet, all the difference;
All the difference in the world.

My poor head, swimming with an undefined religion of rage.
It keeps me within the void of my own illness.
I feel pressured for perfection while I stand so deep in the shit,
Hating my existence, cursing the world, victim anonymous.

My sullen soul is a broken piece of glass that
Is too dull to cut the feet that walk upon me.

I peak in obscurity, but can't change the resentful notions
Burrowing holes in my grim esteem.

All I want is destruction, a battle onward to destroy
The shell of what I used to be.
When the obvious rejection disappears, I shall
Plow through the acrimony like a fleet of paranoia
Scurrying from the unknown, only to come across the same damn thing
I was trying to escape from.

It's like running from yourself in a house of mirrors.

And so in the end, justice has nosedived into revenge and
I lose myself once more, all over again.

You are very welcome Suge. I kinda wish I knew you in real life. I'd bet you are a really interesting and true friend to have. Oddly enough, I am so jealous of your talent... the way you express yourself. Your words make me feel as if I know you/have known you. I honestly wish you "all the love in the world."

 

06/26/12 4:39 PM

Awww yer so awesome. Thanks for your genuine words. They make me smile smiling smiley I don't think much of my talent, it doesn't pay the bills but it provides me hours of relentless entertainment. I promise my stories are way more fucked up than my poetry. LOL

Suge,
I very much like this writing..especially

"And ever if ever I am to be adored, it is by the wind, which
Passes the memory to me like a dream in retrospect" *
