austin-skye - Hello Poetry

Rhyming schemes Muddled by smokey dreams Control the thoughts I breath Sinking through porous veins And blocking out forgotten pains As the night takes me away Into worlds beyond my life Separated by the blade of my knife Dragging through the chills

Forgotten Pains

Rhyming schemes Muddled by smokey dreams Control the thoughts I breath Sinking through porous veins And blocking out forgotten pains As the night takes me away Into worlds beyond my life Separated by the blade of my knife Dragging through the chills

You tear me apart Wear me down Pull me closer. Drag me out Filled with wonder Full of doubt You bring me round Can you hear me shout I loved you then And now and always. How did you manage To break open my heart How did we start. Did we really end You tear me apart Drag me together Wear me out. Like a puzzle Missing it's pieces Scattered around The world so wide Please help me Be my guide Put me together Love me well God I hate this It's a living hell.

Living Hell

You tear me apart Wear me down Pull me closer. Drag me out Filled with wonder Full of doubt You bring me round Can you hear me shout I loved you then And now and always. How did you manage To break open my heart How did we start. Did we really end You tear me apart Drag me together Wear me out. Like a puzzle Missing it's pieces Scattered around The world so wide Please help me Be my guide Put me together Love me well God I hate this It's a living hell.

Fireflies flit across the evening sky For every dawn the must die Lighting the air and flowing with the breaze Everywhere they float, living in ease They bring me peace on the cobblestone path And company from loneliness as I walk Buzzing around filling the air Unabashed as I lovingly stare Slowly wandering without a care Wondering if ever I will find A place to rest and settle my mind Hoping and dreaming With all my heart Still the fireflies endlessly streaming Never apart.

Fireflies

Fireflies flit across the evening sky For every dawn the must die Lighting the air and flowing with the breaze Everywhere they float, living in ease They bring me peace on the cobblestone path And company from loneliness as I walk Buzzing around filling the air Unabashed as I lovingly stare Slowly wandering without a care Wondering if ever I will find A place to rest and settle my mind Hoping and dreaming With all my heart Still the fireflies endlessly streaming Never apart.

May 20th, 2013 Water falls down around me drenching everything. Spraying my back as it's turned up from the ground by the tires of my bike. They race across the pavement as fast as my legs pump. Sweat drips down my face. It's promptly washed away by the rain hailing in on me. Cars zip by. Passing by, leaving pockets of dryness in their wake. Heat curls off my skin, banished by the cool wind threatening to rip off my hat. Wind outmatched by the racing of my heart. The heaving of my lungs. The pumping of my blood. My legs spin faster as I push harder and harder. I have nowhere to go. I only focus on my exertion. My energy. I only focus on the going. The destination is lost in the drive. I push harder still. Then I get there. The world crashed up from behind me. Suddenly catching up. The rain drumming down. The dizziness in my head. My legs shake as I step off my bike. I'm home.

The Drive

May 20th, 2013 Water falls down around me drenching everything. Spraying my back as it's turned up from the ground by the tires of my bike. They race across the pavement as fast as my legs pump.

Heat curls off my skin, banished by the cool wind threatening to rip off my hat. Wind outmatched by the racing of my heart. The heaving of my lungs. The pumping of my blood.

As I stepped out of the space sheltered between them, my feet crunched on the shattered bones of ancient stars. They lay scattered across the nothingness stretched out before me. I saw life and light glimmering in the cracks and fragments of these bones. As I drew closer to a pool of it, glittering and shifting, I reached out and took hold. As a dream evades hold when grasped so did this light slip through my fingers, dissolving into the nothing along with the rest of the stars.

Shattered Stars

As I stepped out of the space sheltered between them, my feet crunched on the shattered bones of ancient stars. They lay scattered across the nothingness stretched out before me. I saw life and light glimmering in the cracks and fragments of these bones. As I drew closer to a pool of it, glittering and shifting, I reached out and took hold. As a dream evades hold when grasped so did this light slip through my fingers, dissolving into the nothing along with the rest of the stars.

Anger, antsy and aching. It hurts to hold it in. Boiling, bitter, breaking. It try's tirelessly to reach out. Careless, careening, no control It takes a hold of me. Deftly defying detention. Seeping into my skin, it burns. Endless, empty, emotionless? Nay, they anger is there to stay.

Here to stay

Anger, antsy and aching. It hurts to hold it in. Boiling, bitter, breaking. It try's tirelessly to reach out. Careless, careening, no control It takes a hold of me. Deftly defying detention. Seeping into my skin, it burns. Endless, empty, emotionless? Nay, they anger is there to stay.

Shadows rest upon this page Mocking works of others Stale and empty, a product of age They sound so smooth and right Twisting your feelings Like ropes of pleasure, delight But I dare not call them mine I stole their ideas from another From other authors with skills so fine An imitation you might say Striving to learn your craft This but only one more way.

Gentle puffs on a clove cigar Away from the icy chill And outside in the snow Icicles hang from the windowsill. Curls of smoke twisting up Into the rafters high Snow flakes drift breaths away Out under the clouded sky. Tomorrow waits for us But the night still has it's claim Warm milk to help me sleep For there are wild dreams to tame.

In the long hours of winter night

Gentle puffs on a clove cigar Away from the icy chill And outside in the snow Icicles hang from the windowsill. Curls of smoke twisting up Into the rafters high Snow flakes drift breaths away Out under the clouded sky. Tomorrow waits for us But the night still has it's claim Warm milk to help me sleep For there are wild dreams to tame.

I remember before I was born And everything was black Before any clothes were worn And the world gave me slack I remember playing in the stars Wandering in the sky Before I knew about cars I never knew I would die My bliss was as large as space I dreamed in waking and in sleep There was no time there was no race And in that peace never did I weep.

Playing in the Stars

I remember before I was born And everything was black Before any clothes were worn And the world gave me slack I remember playing in the stars Wandering in the sky Before I knew about cars I never knew I would die My bliss was as large as space I dreamed in waking and in sleep There was no time there was no race And in that peace never did I weep.
