Jenn_said_some_shit - Hello Poetry

It's the quietest time of night Where the moon has peaked All is hushed And you're supposed to be asleep But your mind plays games Making noise that keep you awake Mocking your restlessness and fears Little monsters play tug-of-war And swing from moonlit chandeliers I Find comfort in the dark A pitch black tranquility But little monsters search for a thought To keep me awake unwillingly Heart steadies like the sea Holding on to the evanescent dreams Waiting for the pounce of little feet Jumping on on you like a trampoline They've finally tuckered themselves out From running about They curl up beside me And count their sheep Beside little monsters I sleep

Little Monsters

It's the quietest time of night Where the moon has peaked All is hushed And you're supposed to be asleep But your mind plays games Making noise that keep you awake Mocking your restlessness and fears Little monsters play tug-of-war And swing from moonlit chandeliers I Find comfort in the dark A pitch black tranquility But little monsters search for a thought To keep me awake unwillingly Heart steadies like the sea Holding on to the evanescent dreams Waiting for the pounce of little feet Jumping on on you like a trampoline They've finally tuckered themselves out From running about They curl up beside me And count their sheep Beside little monsters I sleep

Have you ever noticed The green leaves in the summer Ever thought about the moment they would turn A different color When the yellows and oranges begin to bleed through Or do you only notice their beauty Before they whisper "Adieu"

Adieu

Have you ever noticed The green leaves in the summer Ever thought about the moment they would turn A different color When the yellows and oranges begin to bleed through Or do you only notice their beauty Before they whisper "Adieu"

Slowing chipping at my shell I watch it start to break away Some days it doesn't seem to crack But I still make progress anyway Inside this loved but shackle of a shell I've been the same me Living by my limits and inhibitions But I finally feel like breaking free Unsure of who I am to become Like a mystery without a clue There's beauty in ultimately finding one The discovery of something new The pieces fall off when their ready Those tiny slivers that once kept me safe Breaking through your own shell Is about growing and finding your place

My shell

Slowing chipping at my shell I watch it start to break away Some days it doesn't seem to crack But I still make progress anyway Inside this loved but shackle of a shell I've been the same me Living by my limits and inhibitions But I finally feel like breaking free Unsure of who I am to become Like a mystery without a clue There's beauty in ultimately finding one The discovery of something new The pieces fall off when their ready Those tiny slivers that once kept me safe Breaking through your own shell Is about growing and finding your place

You dont get to pick and choose Forcing someone or something to be a muse Like nature it grows organically From your heart and mind's insanity Picking up letters and phrases Hands typing quick across the pages The rhymes don't even matter Thoughts always seem to scatter Never satisfied with the image you wrote But it's better than words stuck in your throat

Like Nature

You dont get to pick and choose Forcing someone or something to be a muse Like nature it grows organically From your heart and mind's insanity Picking up letters and phrases Hands typing quick across the pages The rhymes don't even matter Thoughts always seem to scatter Never satisfied with the image you wrote But it's better than words stuck in your throat

My mind wanders all day And I daydream of you Closing my eyes for a moment Imagining myself on top of you Just a few more hours to go It's been such a long week Longing for your warm embrace Your silk touch on my cheek I hear you calling Every minute of every day I leave you waiting I'm sorry I couldn't stay I'll make it home to you Your patience goes unsaid I cant wait to crawl into you My love. My bed.

You look into her eyes How waves of blue collide But she sees weary hollows Something her exhaustion cannot hide You touch her hands So soft and enduring But she feels her fingers Parts her anxieties keep shearing You watch her smile Like replaying a favorite memory But she notices her smirk Crooked and unsteady The mirror you hold is cracked She will never see what you see Her insecurities unwavering But you will repeatedly disagree

You Disagree

You look into her eyes How waves of blue collide But she sees weary hollows Something her exhaustion cannot hide You touch her hands So soft and enduring But she feels her fingers Parts her anxieties keep shearing You watch her smile Like replaying a favorite memory But she notices her smirk Crooked and unsteady The mirror you hold is cracked She will never see what you see Her insecurities unwavering But you will repeatedly disagree

You drew her in Like the last breath you'd ever take Drowning in her eyes Hitting the blue and silver wakes She reached for your hand Shaking you from your slow descent Her touch like a velvet rose A warmth without an end She laughs and you close your eyes Hanging her smile in your mind A gallery of your favorite pieces Her portrait a one of a kind

Velvet Rose

I sit here every evening every night Nothing comes to mind No muse in sight I have an ache inside I can't describe I type a few lines Words won't rhyme Failing each time The sting inside A low lit flame Dwindling down to nothing Why can't I find What's burning inside And type it all out Confusing doubt Not even sure what it's about The words pour down the sink Draining to never be seen I'm stuck in between The chaos unheard And losing myself Placing my unfinished words Back on their shelf

Chaos Unheard

I sit here every evening every night Nothing comes to mind No muse in sight I have an ache inside I can't describe I type a few lines Words won't rhyme Failing each time The sting inside A low lit flame Dwindling down to nothing Why can't I find What's burning inside And type it all out Confusing doubt Not even sure what it's about The words pour down the sink Draining to never be seen I'm stuck in between The chaos unheard And losing myself Placing my unfinished words Back on their shelf

My head is heavy Broken shards in the sides Stiffened vines creeping Taking over my insides A booming weight of chaos Buries me alive Left with the fear of survival And only a pinhole of light
