feraaetatis - Hello Poetry

We try so hard Plaster our faces Wear masks outside and in We claim not to judge But then act as if we're in a high court We carefully pick out flaws And then say everybody is perfect Our lives are books Or so it seems We are supposed authors Of our own adventures When really all we are Is tepid stories for nobody's glory

We try so hard Plaster our faces Wear masks outside and in We claim not to judge But then act as if we're in a high court We carefully pick out flaws And then say everybody is perfect Our lives are books Or so it seems We are supposed authors Of our own adventures When really all we are Is tepid stories for nobody's glory

The rain taps on the window Asking Ever so politely to be let in The wind, a horse of a different colour Charges through itself Roaring as slams into the glass barrier It can't get through Whining, screaming even Begging to enter Pleading to send it's icy gusts over my bones Freezing them, making them brittle enough to shatter But let us forget not about the rain As polite as it is, slyness comes also At least with the wind You know what it wants But the rain Will drown you while your still breathing

You know it really shocks me But somehow doesn't How oblivious you are After all the heartbreak You claim to have suffered You wear your heart on your sleeve Expecting nothing to happen You babble about happy endings But you don't realise that Happy endings are stories that haven't finished yet

Happy Endings

You know it really shocks me But somehow doesn't How oblivious you are After all the heartbreak You claim to have suffered You wear your heart on your sleeve Expecting nothing to happen You babble about happy endings But you don't realise that Happy endings are stories that haven't finished yet

As we whirl around the darkened room The dust swirls with us Creating a cloud to protect us From the flames and smoke I grasp tighter to you My fingers curling into your jacket But you Loosen your hold Letting me drift out of the cloud It's then I realise My dear We're slow dancing in a burning room

Burning Room

As we whirl around the darkened room The dust swirls with us Creating a cloud to protect us From the flames and smoke I grasp tighter to you My fingers curling into your jacket But you Loosen your hold Letting me drift out of the cloud It's then I realise My dear We're slow dancing in a burning room

Listen to the wind screaming And the air howling The thunder rolling Lightening illuminating the black skies You will hear the storm And remember me; Think She wanted storms

Storms

Listen to the wind screaming And the air howling The thunder rolling Lightening illuminating the black skies You will hear the storm And remember me; Think She wanted storms

Faster faster The white wheels turning to ivory hooves The murky grains changing to golden shores Bleak grey turning azure The entire picture Evolving into something worth capturing She releases the reins Her arms are spread wide Eyes closed Soaking up the feeling of lightness Until she comes to the bump in the road She soars through the air Arms still spread wide But eyes wide open The hooves turn back to wheels No longer ivory Golden turning bronze Azure disappearing But this time black clouds come Reflecting perfectly Onto the transparent ripples She forget that with light Comes the shadow

She cried tears of black, Weeping with lips scarlet The pale foundations of her face, Fading, Into nothing While the teardrops of ink Created a new facade.

Facade

She cried tears of black, Weeping with lips scarlet The pale foundations of her face, Fading, Into nothing While the teardrops of ink Created a new facade.
