21/F/England I'm just someone who likes to play with words and observe how others have done the same.
The tree, thousands of years old, Has been patient for years Whispering with others Witnessing many things It knows that patterns Can change and shift It knows that wolves Can go from beauty to brute Birds sing then crickets chirp Flowers wilt and wither The air becomes ice-cold Jade-green leaves turn to gold The tree has watched it all many times A creature that is only very young Could never truly know this language, this tongue The tree has been patient For thousands of long years Surrounded by the scent of soil Earthy and fresh in the rain It knows things I do not It knows every tear.

Ancient Silence
You'd prefer each part of me open With only one exception, my mouth Unless moaning and gasping from your touch Or intending to gratify and satisfy you But I do not owe you my body just because You'd like to have your hands all over it Well you should go and find a person who Sees life in a similar way that your eyes do You'd like me a lot better without closed legs I'd like you a lot better without a closed mind.

Closed
Your petals are exposed, open Shamelessly displayed details   Puce-pink fades into a creamier hue Before a vibrant sunny explosion Splashes all over my eyes I savour the velvety fragility On my fingertips, as I touch you The scent floods my nose; a lively aroma Birds and bugs are enraptured And I too am captured Blooming buds and wonderful weeds Can be small joys existence needs.

Fascinated by Flora
No more guises, Just look into my eyes Every word said from now Will not be a lie But every word about to jump From your lips shall die Because your carnal cravings Will eat them alive. I’m slowly dissipating But I know you can revive me A fallen tree, I sleep here Slipping into lifelessness But I feel so ravenous And I know you can feel The thumping of my heart It’s eager; deeply. You crawl up to me With a different face Different intentions Breathing different air I inhale your energy My longing embraced I want every trace of innocence Completely defaced. Overpowered By this yearning We want, we crave And we’re still learning I cannot feel a thing But a burning hunger You cling to me I invite you in Of course, I do, I crave your skin It’s a liquid I wish to immerse myself in Your scent rinses me Keeps me within your carnal hold, Let the numbing begin.

Rinse Me, Numb Me
I was a new-born when you promised You would carry me anywhere I wanted And at any time I wanted, You promised me safety You promised me freedom. Dedicated and deceptive You had teased me growing up But I never would have predicted How malicious you could be You fooled everyone, even me. Parts of you were destroyed But you always found other ways To stick out, ugly and obscene You screamed at me, you harassed me And everyone else recoiled. You were ruthless, relentless, I needed your permission to leave On the worst days I could do nothing But lie there and seethe. You were always there waiting, Until I was distracted, to capture me Trapping me in a time loop dimension Loop after loop after loop; Like an elaborate knot. My tongue no longer tasted My humanity began to rust Like a corpse and its restless ghost I was dormant but deprived of sleep How could I rest under your glare? Like a deranged anaesthetist You forced me to the very edge I hung over that abyss, wondering If you would let my hand go, or pull me up Until boredom struck again Amidst the beeping and droning machines Serpentine, you still twisted around me Pungent disinfectant; the white-room scent And the pointed metal tips Their shrieking tongues turned to monotone. Well, organs and cells, I had long outgrown you and Your demented, slothful ways What did we have in common Anymore aside from me? But we are bound like conjoined twins As fused together as can be I’d die without you, you’d die without me I aim to live in harmony with you And help you gain a much sunnier hue.

Chronic Betrayal
