Winter (Haiku)
Nurse Joy Dec 2012
Siberian morn..
Benumbed by the frigid gusts,
the Winter is here.

Hearts In Contrast
Nurse Joy Nov 2012
**** me slowly. With your love, or lack there of.. Nothing matters anymore. I am just lost at sea. With nothing but a memory, a glimpse, of what could be.
My heart will turn to rust, dissolving into dust..
What will my heart's place hold?
I'm not quite sure, I'm not myself.. And my insides feel so cold.
The salty water on my lips tastes like sorrow.. It ties my heart in knots.
Pain is creeping up my throat, and haunting all my thoughts.
Tell me that you need me, tell me that you care..
Tell me you'll be there.
For the mere moment of peace is worth your lies.. Your deceit.
Fooling me into thinking, without you, I am incomplete.
Oh darling, I am incomplete.

Shadows (Cinquain)
Nurse Joy Aug 2014
Shadows
Inky, somber
Shrouding, murking, glooming
My soul conjoins with the umbra
Darkness

Ill Existence.
Nurse Joy Feb 2013
The brain doctors cannot fix her.
Don't you tell me that they can.
I've eaten every antidote, and shut her up with medicine.
I have done just as they taught me.
I carved out every imperfection, every sin.

I dissected her identity.
I cut her mind up until there was nothing left.

Nothing left but a body.

Untitled I
Nurse Joy Feb 2013
Pollution.
In this air I breathe, there is no dilution, from the carcinogens you emit.
The smog steadily spews from your sin blackened lips.
Manufacturing twisted lies in your factory mind.
No one left but the plagued.
There are no true answers left to find.
Not for you.
Not for any of those ****** with a third eye blind.

La Guerra e L'arte
Nurse Joy Dec 2012
We are just pawns in an over sized game of chess.
          We shall be played repeatedly, but I digress.
                    For even a small man must play his part.
                              In this land of War and Art.

The Drug
Nurse Joy Nov 2012
The "drug".
It takes me away, to a much higher place.
Away from society that wants to shove lies in my face.
Away from the anger, that builds in my veins.
Away from the politics, medication, and pain.
It brings me to a peaceful land.
It brought me to art, taught me to use my hands.
It brought me to music, let me lift my voice because I can.
It brought me to myself, told me, take a stand.
The "drug", it is my medicine.
The "drug", the Earth, it saved me.

Time
Nurse Joy Aug 2013
Oh, what a sterile pain this is.
Isolated in a desolate white room somewhere deep within the darkest void of my soul.
All hope was lost long ago, yet here I sit, in this barren pit, waiting for my time.
All we have is time.

The Girl
Nurse Joy Nov 2012
The girl was a troubled one.
Broken, so it seemed.
Just when they all thought she was done.
She grasped her hopes and dreams.

She held on tightly to her strength.
She let her burdens go.
The girl learned from each of her many mistakes.
The girl began to grow.

She continued her journey and became a mother.
She never knew such wonder.
The girl had learned love, the biggest lesson of all.
The girl.
The girl became a woman.

The Truth.
Nurse Joy Nov 2012
Somewhere.
(Somewhere deep inside of this heart of mine.)
There is something sinister.
(There is a darkness.)
Evil.
(Hiding.)
Eating someone alive.
(Leeching the life from my veins.)
Growing.
(I'm fading.)
Spreading.
(No.)
You must learn to coexist.
(No...)
You cannot hide from it.
(It can't be.)
It dwells within us all, the darkness.
(The truth.)
The truth is in us all.

— The End —
