brea-kirkham - Hello Poetry

Beat down and abused by you I've forgotten who I once was I gave you everything And you just took and took Depleting me I carried the flesh of our flesh Within me I carried the weight of our love Inside my body, she grew strong I wore the wounds you gave me Deep inside The only one who knows my pain Has your beautiful blue eyes When she calls out for you And you're not here I know all too well, what she will feel I want to wrap my arms around her Protect her from the world I want to protect her from you

Vermillion hues break the horizon Rainbow sherbet strewn across the sky Breathing new life into the world Flora and fauna alike awaken As soft dew drips tentatively from out stretched limbs Reaching up into a sky they will never touch but merely taste Light breaks on the horizon and it is all but over As night surrenders to day I give thanks for the many blessings Unfolding as my existence I am ever grateful To merely draw breath Namaste <3

Sunrise

Vermillion hues break the horizon Rainbow sherbet strewn across the sky Breathing new life into the world Flora and fauna alike awaken As soft dew drips tentatively from out stretched limbs Reaching up into a sky they will never touch but merely taste Light breaks on the horizon and it is all but over As night surrenders to day I give thanks for the many blessings Unfolding as my existence I am ever grateful To merely draw breath Namaste <3

I am a sacred temple Do not corrupt me I am a woman Not your ****** object I do not have to love you Merely because you lay hands on me I don't feel the way you feel I do not need to apologize or feel remorse You are capable of discerning for yourself I am not interested in emotional attachments I am emotionally unavailable I am in love with another Who is capable of appreciating everything I am My soul speaks volumes you are not attuned to hear We are not in sync bio-rhythmically I do not feel that strange pull towards you I once did I do not see you in my dreams I do not surrender to you I do not feel the way I used to And I am grateful I could not bear the agony of being used by you

I am a sacred temple Do not corrupt me I am a woman Not your ****** object I do not have to love you Merely because you lay hands on me I don't feel the way you feel I do not need to apologize or feel remorse You are capable of discerning for yourself I am not interested in emotional attachments I am emotionally unavailable I am in love with another Who is capable of appreciating everything I am My soul speaks volumes you are not attuned to hear We are not in sync bio-rhythmically I do not feel that strange pull towards you I once did I do not see you in my dreams I do not surrender to you I do not feel the way I used to And I am grateful I could not bear the agony of being used by you

We as a culture/society/civilization. We **** and plunder the earth. We take advantage of her destroying her, and her natural resources. Caring not for future generations to come. Only thinking of the here and now, are we really so selfish! Does that really require questioning when all along the answer is known. We use her for our own gain, tearing into her rich dark flesh. Reaping the benefits of her bountiful splendor. Never fully replenishing that which we steal away, and she in all her glory and unyielding strength selflessly cooperates. Bending but never breaking to our will. We pollute her, poisoning her rivers, her oceans, her lakes, her streams, her ponds and create stagnant pools of filth. Our sole contribution to the world is, nay, will be the ruin of us all. All the while, whilst we destroy her so seemingly infinite beauty she rewards us. With the edible fruition of her labor and clear, clean liquid from her ***** to quench our ever increasing thirst. And in return, to give thanks, to praise her we bury decay in her fertile womb. Only to later perhaps even decades so wonder even (perplex/ purport) as to why she is baron and cold. Buried under mounds of suffocating concrete we take her for grantide. If ever she breathes a complaint we point the finger elsewhere. Never pausing to reflect on self and come to the realization of what we are doing to her to ourselves, to the generations yet to come to our lineage to our desendants, to our very lively hood. The question that really needs to be asked here is when did we begin to pride ourselves over that which has existed longer than we could ever fully begin to fathom. That thrived despite our lack of existence and hopefully will again far after we have perished and all but ceased to have existed at all.

Kisses that fumble over lips First loves embrace Sweaty palms Weak knees Butterflies Sober drunk Sunrises will never compare The moon would never be enough The stars will never shine so bright as your eyes They light up when they look into mine I miss the hue I miss the way I felt in your arms I miss everything about you Even the things I couldn't stand I took our time together for grantide I thought we had time I fell when I wasn't looking So caught up in things that didn't matter I made you think you didn't matter I recall fondly our first date We danced as water cascaded around us Dancing with us You told me you couldn't figure me out I don't even know who I am some days I wanted you to figure me out I wanted to be with you I just forgot how to be myself Somewhere along the way I lost myself You found me You lie to me so convincingly I've never believed anyone when they told me I was beautiful Until those words graced your lips I tremble when your hands touch me I breathe all of you in You're leaving to start your life I wish I could have gotten to know you better But I chose to betray what we had I ******* up I am not so proud that I cannot admit it I did this I ****** this beautiful, amazing "magical" thing we had up And for what? He was never worth losing you

I want to love you With a heart you don't think I real Just so you remember how it feels to be loved I want to give you things, that are not mine to give I would lie, borrow and steal If I could erase all that pain inside of you You look at me, like there is something there Something worthwhile, something good and honest and pure And all I see is used goods, someone who has all but given up You look at me with those beautiful, hazel eyes Bearing your soul to me I sold out a long while ago baby You make me feel so **** much I forgot how good it feels to be loved But here I am, all bruised and broken And there you are; so innocent, almost pure Like I could be your everything I want to lie down next to you, and never get up I want time to stop for us I want the world to melt away when I make love to you Sweet whispers, grace those incredible lips I am not worthy of this gift I do not deserve to be worshiped, the way you worship me I am not worthy of a love that redefines life The way you redefine life for me You let me do what I need to do, to feel alive to be here, present, happy And I am screaming inside Do you even hear my scream echo off the walls Can you feel this pain, I feel it all but consumes me The burden, I wear heavy on my heart Can you see the pain concealed in my eyes Do you have any idea the torment I am enduring Is it my right to ask you to carry this weight with me, until I am strong enough to let go Do you love me enough to be strong for the both of us While I find my way back From this long journey of wanderlust ?

Wet kisses dance across mouths, seeking something familiar in a strangers touch You make me feel alive, in ways I forgot I could I’m like a child with you, I feel innocent again Don’t corrupt me, don’t violate me, I don’t want to regret this I hate hands on my flesh, I hate getting wrapped up in someone else’s skin I miss the days when I loved it, staying awake until dawn afraid it would end When the world stopped, and all that existed was that moment of passion I desperately want to feel like that again I want love that takes the breath from my body, that consumes me alive I want to eat, breathe, taste you on my tongue I want to endure heartache, just to feel alive I want colors to be brighter, i want food to taste better I want so much oxytocin production, chocolate can never compare I want to reach out to feel your warmth next to me I want you, I'm just scared

Light creeps through the blinds cascading over bodies intertwined in sleep Dew shimmers on flora As the sun rises and the night retreats Pink and orange swirls of cotton candy clouds break the horizon Giving way to bursts of mauve and golden hues I have never set eyes on anything as beautiful As the earth waking Save for perhaps a lovers face Or the tide rolling in, in soft sea foam waves.

Awakening

Light creeps through the blinds cascading over bodies intertwined in sleep Dew shimmers on flora As the sun rises and the night retreats Pink and orange swirls of cotton candy clouds break the horizon Giving way to bursts of mauve and golden hues I have never set eyes on anything as beautiful As the earth waking Save for perhaps a lovers face Or the tide rolling in, in soft sea foam waves.

I am mesmerized by her beauty She is everything I am not She lights up a room when she enters I envy her ability to captivate She's so composed Charming Clever Witty I long to be as sophisticated As she appears to be Effortless I wonder how I am able to so convincingly Deceive Why am I not able to deceive myself so easily My facade is not a reflection of myself She is everything I cannot bring myself to be

So inviting I long to be swallowed whole by her She holds wisdom in her depths Break the surface and you will be consumed Drawn in to her Surrounded by her I allow her to consume me I give myself over to her She embraces me Like an old friend I watch light dance on her surface I dive in to her I could spend an eternity And never know her depths The best I can hope for Is to float on her fluid surface
