Hi! / I'm relatively new at poetry, but I love it. My poems are mostly in-depth, about philosophy, metaphysics, and they are pretty melancholy. Basically you won't find me writing happy stuff.... Thanks for taking the time to read my poems, I hope you like them! / / Enjoy!
Away, Away,
For fortune's folly
In times of sorrow
I turned to you
You had me cry
You had me die
And pushed me towards
One drinking poison
I did not partake -
Only for one whimsy's sake
And now I sit awake,
Alone
In a psyche of misery
Poison to take
One weary death to make

I shall dance into heaven,
With angels by my side
Ever and ever
I shall dance.
With that most final work
The heart may cease
But eternity begins.
Should sorrow creep from me?
No, I say.
For life broke me
Long before my own hand did.
Let me on my journey now
For gods call
And one step I take towards rapture.
What now is my most ardent desire?
I wish to be forgotten
Like a fallen leaf
The memory of wish
Is to be nothing but trampled upon.

I danced ‘til 3am today
Until the witching hour
Then the gods cried
The sky came alive and
It broke right open for me.
I danced right in
Danced among the stars
Danced with the devil I did
To his pleasing beat,
And his seductive sin
Dancing with the devil I did.
And he held my thoughts
He held my pain
He held me tight;
Held the world away
And arm in arm, we whirled -
We danced the night away

Humming white noise
In equally white rooms
Words run together
Forgotten
Before doors open

The being of sorrow -
like the beat of a drum
rhythmic, and consistent
sorrow is best felt,
not thought.

I marched and found the moon today
They say it was past seven
It was ****** dark to me
All I could see was heaven
I took a shore
The beat rolled fast
The waves came crashing in
Night exploded, the moon imploded
Still I could see but heaven

I lived in immortality.
Death did not touch me.
Despite the world of pain
Death seemed nothing but inane.
My tears of hurt were lame
I lived in a life of the same
It’s not but nothing I feel
But life allows me to deal
Death is just a game
Leaving me not dead, but maimed
I cried a tear of joy
In life it seems quite coy

I walked along the road,
In days it seemed quite cold
Leaves crunched beneath my feet
Here death will not complete
Its journey I will ponder
In life I will but wander.
Sleep is close to death, I say
In sleep so still I lay
Because death doesn’t stop for me
In life I live, I see.

Love and pain cannot be controlled
They exist beyond the confines of the soul
If I feel not love I feel not pain
I’m dead inside – my heart is lame
One wonders how the two extremes
Are tied so tight
For love is pain, and
Pain is love
Existing emotions from above

Today I took a life
Feeling nothing worldly but strife
I cried a tear of pain
Never happiness would I deign
Tomorrow is nothing but sun
But I will be all but done
My life is naught but fear
Crying tear after tear
