alex-brown - Hello Poetry

The poetry's dried up Like a drop of water in the sahara Any inspiration now evaporates A thirst for words Like cracked lips Peel and sore The rain came, washed down onto paper Sorrows and sadness, splash Drowning a page in rythm and wonder The pitter patter beat Giving life, Where there wasn't before, Saplings took to the ground To soar ever higher into majestic beings But now the acrid earth thirsts Heels clack with rock under foot The hacking of lungs as Dust perfumes the air and A ***** smell of burning lingers Catching tightly at the back of your throat Scorched ground gives way To a seeming never-ending drought Of words.

Your heart is not an object you can give away Metaphysical Its something you've forgotten Analytical It's all in your head Psychological Love is just spontaneous Chemical reactions in your mind To future the human race evolution It's natural selection And a probable, statistical truth You'll find someone you Relate to Serotonin pumps Testosterone too Then oxytocin to complete the brew And you fall in love Glazed eyes will connect Start writing poems about How she's so perfect But then my friend If this were true Why does my heart yearn for you Why do i have sleepless nights This isnt right If these were chemicals in my mind Its been a year Surely they'd disappear..

It's hard to give a second thought when you walk ahead, You turn, The beaming smile and energy excites me, I jog on to catch up, We grab hands, Clutching hold, drawing from the grasp, I lift you up and swing you round, The laughter explodes from inside, Infectious, we fall, Playfully roll and sigh. A perfect spot. There's a castle behind us, and a chasm in front, Trees bright and vibrant sit longing nestled between us and the sun, We see it falling from the sky, A great blaze of fury, anger and still somehow tranquil and calm, You cuddle up to me and i pull the blanket over your shoulders, The soft weave tugs on my stubble, I really should shave, my mind starts to wander, Snapped back by a sharp kiss on the lips, A cheeky playful bite, I follow your gaze to the hilltop Through the trees As the sun settles hazily beyond the horizon, The heat dissipates from the air, It's getting cold. So you scramble to get up from my chest, to turn and take his hand, I call your name, to no reply, Soulless and broken i stare into the dark, As white falls from the sky to coat the ground, Lay back down and let the ice take you. The sun will come up soon.

So here i am once again Wide awake at 2am.. It's been a year and ive got nothing to show While you dance the night away like we did long ago. Celebrate a new step in your life While i clutch at straws and worry and strife. I know where you are, what you've done, how you feel. You don't need to lie its clear But this ******* scar won't heal. You sip your champagne and still kiss his lips You've forgotten mine, dry and chipped. I'll sit alone on this ****** up night. Knowing he will hold you tight. I don't know why i bother, or care. But i do. I always have.

A flick of a wrist, floating harmony Fingers dance, twist and sway Pluck and strum The chords shape so heartily and wholey The air reverberates and shivers the spine But surrounds you, a warm embrace of song You feel so fine As the grandeur grows and grows, Rythm picks up tempo swaps and shifts fast slow fast faster The minor mirrors your mind, that soft depressing tone Another strum springs alive, Your fingers pick up pace Pluck, pluck, pluck pluck PLUCK SNAP!!... twang, ping. oh You were playing with my heart-string The music dies, And so do i.

You ******* said you loved me, As you kiss his lips, Youre words mumble and fumble and fall dry from your mouth You ******* said you wanted me, As he touches your hips, You shake, he shakes, raise your arms and dance. That steady beat, the bass booming, Thats my heartbeat slowing and stopping. Im so angry, calm, sad, and stirring. I know it doesnt make sense. I see you, laying in front of me, i kiss your neck and love you with every bit of my heart. You can feel it trembling the sheets, keeping long winters at bay with body heat and love. My fairy tale, my love story, my whole heart and poem of my life. This ends badly. Ive been punching my pillow with tears in my eyes for too long now. Its over. Im done.

Twas the night before christmas, i had no idea Except from the children that'd walk by and sneer My rag lay before me, all wrapped up in it Was the thing that i treasured, my beautiful flit. Four legged and panting, she was my saviour With me through winter as ever an angel. The cold winds blew, and i pulled her tight. She gave a small yelp, i gave her a fright. She looked up to my eyes, black and cold, but full of love. I whispered "i love you" and took off my glove. Placed it on her nose, to keep it from freezing Like the ice on my guitar, as cold winds were breezing. Wrapped the blanket, round flitz nice and tight. Then settled in, for a cold hard night. I woke to more silence, a cold brittle day. Looked down to see, a sad empty glaze. No yelping, no panting, not even a stir. She was gone from this world, my only treasure. So as you sit inside, warm and wrapped up. Think of me, and my poor pup.

Dancing, glittering, sparkling, Sun beams bounce and sear, Penetrate me, blind me, The jingle jangle of your mind melts mine Encapsulated in amber A forever frozen still, polaroid Preserving our adventure Love life Every days a gift Unrap, let go wander and ponder We break the mould and slime and grime Fight through norm to perfume ourselves in essence of unique splendor No-one's like us try, try and you'll never find a pair So exhausted my mind bends, malleable as china I crack We fall break shatter My broken splintered merry frozen mind.

Existential Bullcrap.

Dancing, glittering, sparkling, Sun beams bounce and sear, Penetrate me, blind me, The jingle jangle of your mind melts mine Encapsulated in amber A forever frozen still, polaroid Preserving our adventure Love life Every days a gift Unrap, let go wander and ponder We break the mould and slime and grime Fight through norm to perfume ourselves in essence of unique splendor No-one's like us try, try and you'll never find a pair So exhausted my mind bends, malleable as china I crack We fall break shatter My broken splintered merry frozen mind.

Irrational, thoughts, feelings, words, lost meanings. I love you. What does it even mean, When you love him, or me, You say things that make no sense To get over happiness Youll suffer through an unloving unheartfelt black kisses. Youll let him love you and touch you, When you crave my fingers and heart. IM RIGHT HERE Ill scream my ******* lungs out and for what. For a future with you, For comfort, safety, security and happiness. Ill go to the end of the ******* earth. I hang on, bare tooth and nail and grit and blood. Just to be dropped, For nothing and noone special. "Nobody is like me" Lay your head on my chest my love, It was just a dream.
