ZacharyBinx - Hello Poetry

The Tall One, they taunt me They leave me to die Forced from my shelter To rot here outside Food? Less than scarce Water can't be found Can't even search Hard grey dirt covers ground The Tall One has left Fear I won't see them again My anguish is deep I howl in pain But what's this I see Through strange clear wall? Tall One with food and water Coming down hall! I never been so scared! Hurray! I am saved! Don't leave me again Tall One Or I'll wind up in grave

Tall One: A Poem from the Perspective of a Dog

The Tall One, they taunt me They leave me to die Forced from my shelter To rot here outside Food? Less than scarce Water can't be found Can't even search Hard grey dirt covers ground The Tall One has left Fear I won't see them again My anguish is deep I howl in pain But what's this I see Through strange clear wall? Tall One with food and water Coming down hall! I never been so scared! Hurray! I am saved! Don't leave me again Tall One Or I'll wind up in grave

Shutter shutter Shaking hands Static storm strikes The world disbands Claustrophobic Engulfed in black Must push forward Cannot look back The world is gone Memories too Can't understand Is this world true But there is help They protect me We fight for a goal I cannot see Does time stand still Or move too fast Too long the struggle Not all friends last Into the light Beckoning hue Sudden breathe The world in view Focus ahead Devour the air Back in this world Thousand mile stare Thankful but sick Pleading to stay When will it stop Will I be okay Finally home Exhausted fried If this battle was lost I could have died

With restless angst I poke and pry Your brothers blind stand idly by Veiled hate? Bad place? No reason why Felt no surprise when you said die Head in hands don't even cry From the room you quickly fly Red hands; caught; my own blood dye And still I form an alibi You suffered then, well so did I You suffered more I won't deny No one knows while I live the lie Why you felt you must say die Displeasing scar to shameful eye Down I fall from horse on high Plans ruined; dreams break; I'm the reason why You felt the need to say die.

Reason Why

With restless angst I poke and pry Your brothers blind stand idly by Veiled hate? Bad place? No reason why Felt no surprise when you said die Head in hands don't even cry From the room you quickly fly Red hands; caught; my own blood dye And still I form an alibi You suffered then, well so did I You suffered more I won't deny No one knows while I live the lie Why you felt you must say die Displeasing scar to shameful eye Down I fall from horse on high Plans ruined; dreams break; I'm the reason why You felt the need to say die.

In intense heat I beat retreat Into the shade inside my mind Who put us there Under that blare And left cool drinks behind A little ice Would be nice To cool the body hot I cannot think With no heat sink So therefore I am not The sun beats on I will it gone But spitefully it lingers So dry inside While moisture applied Heavily from toes to fingers Dripping sweat I regret Calling these people friend If you "hold me dear" Why bring me here To my hot and bitter end With vision hazy And body lazy I see a glass of water ahead Cool water drips Down glass sides slips I think I must be dead I think therefore I am again As water poor through every vein Summer tokin' can be a blast But forget your water, it could be your last

Summer Glass

In intense heat I beat retreat Into the shade inside my mind Who put us there Under that blare And left cool drinks behind A little ice Would be nice To cool the body hot I cannot think With no heat sink So therefore I am not The sun beats on I will it gone But spitefully it lingers So dry inside While moisture applied Heavily from toes to fingers Dripping sweat I regret Calling these people friend If you "hold me dear" Why bring me here To my hot and bitter end With vision hazy And body lazy I see a glass of water ahead Cool water drips Down glass sides slips I think I must be dead I think therefore I am again As water poor through every vein Summer tokin' can be a blast But forget your water, it could be your last

I try to push you from my mind Sweet seductress keeps me blind Whispered truth veiled in lie Crave more of that sweet supply Screams for help echo in my head Grasp for words that must be said This masquerade to hide from all Acting big while feeling so small And for release where do I go Back to her the evil that I know Her embrace once heavenly Now leaves me numb and empty

Evil That I Know

I try to push you from my mind Sweet seductress keeps me blind Whispered truth veiled in lie Crave more of that sweet supply Screams for help echo in my head Grasp for words that must be said This masquerade to hide from all Acting big while feeling so small And for release where do I go Back to her the evil that I know Her embrace once heavenly Now leaves me numb and empty

I sink into your sweet embrace Deceptively you call With soft cotton hands you hold me back From everything at all Poison dripping in my mind Paranoia on the rise Clamoring to leaden feet Blind to your disguise Hours pass, days, weeks, then years Together we silently wait For me to finally say farewell To the reason for this hate Venom dripping in my brain Anxiety quietly humming Struggling with this ball and chain While the humming turns to drumming Silently you stalk your prey But I now feel you there You've done enough, I'll make you leave This to you I swear Acid boiling in my skull Anger burning red With claws and teeth you latch on tight Won't stop until I'm dead

Claws and Teeth

I sink into your sweet embrace Deceptively you call With soft cotton hands you hold me back From everything at all Poison dripping in my mind Paranoia on the rise Clamoring to leaden feet Blind to your disguise Hours pass, days, weeks, then years Together we silently wait For me to finally say farewell To the reason for this hate Venom dripping in my brain Anxiety quietly humming Struggling with this ball and chain While the humming turns to drumming Silently you stalk your prey But I now feel you there You've done enough, I'll make you leave This to you I swear Acid boiling in my skull Anger burning red With claws and teeth you latch on tight Won't stop until I'm dead

I sit and I look upon my shelves Every item a reflection of myself The silver memories pulled from my mind Collect dust where they sat when I left them behind I walk among them, now strangers to me Wondering if in one of these wisps I was happy Its been so long since I felt it's grace I might feel it again if I could only find the place The memories flow through me like sand through a sieve But some things are missing from these scenes I relive I cannot remember when I stopped climbing trees Or when I began to fear scrapped elbows and knees When the love of the journey was replaced by destination Forcing countless adventurers into reluctant resignation Or when the floor finally turned back into stone And Teddy stopped talking, leaving me all alone I remember yards, so many, and playgrounds and parks Adventures with friends until just before dark While in these thoughts I linger, something becomes clear Though I may not be now, I was happy here

I Was Happy Here

I sit and I look upon my shelves Every item a reflection of myself The silver memories pulled from my mind Collect dust where they sat when I left them behind I walk among them, now strangers to me Wondering if in one of these wisps I was happy Its been so long since I felt it's grace I might feel it again if I could only find the place The memories flow through me like sand through a sieve But some things are missing from these scenes I relive I cannot remember when I stopped climbing trees Or when I began to fear scrapped elbows and knees When the love of the journey was replaced by destination Forcing countless adventurers into reluctant resignation Or when the floor finally turned back into stone And Teddy stopped talking, leaving me all alone I remember yards, so many, and playgrounds and parks Adventures with friends until just before dark While in these thoughts I linger, something becomes clear Though I may not be now, I was happy here
