lucycgray - Hello Poetry

Forever the white silk sheets shield my sleepy eyes Under the turning turning of the night Pull over Stay close Away from the light And into the night My cave, my home White silk walls I choose to know Only this I will grapple, I will cling With chipped nails And cracked hands They have only known myself When I sleep They have only known myself When I sleep Awaken Under white silk sheets And no one will see But me But me Shield my sleepy eyes

White silk sheets

Forever the white silk sheets shield my sleepy eyes Under the turning turning of the night Pull over Stay close Away from the light And into the night My cave, my home White silk walls I choose to know Only this I will grapple, I will cling With chipped nails And cracked hands They have only known myself When I sleep They have only known myself When I sleep Awaken Under white silk sheets And no one will see But me But me Shield my sleepy eyes

I need your arms Like a cocoon So I can emerge each morning With colourful wings Delicate, free My weakness is my strength When I spread about my brittle structure and my softness surrounds you Be gentle with my wings for they Are quietly weak and the silent strength of loving is not enough If you grasp me too roughly Or hold me for too long I might crunch beneath your human bones I am only small

My life was stuck in greyscale Until you came along With beautiful watercolors. You painted the skies With amethyst and sapphire With coral and azure. You painted the autumn trees, With amber and titian With hazel and maroon. You flooded the dark oceans With turquoise and navy. You sprinkled the grey mountains With shimmers of flaxen sunlight. My entire life exploded Into an exquisite rainbow. And then you left. And the radiant world You had painted for me Slowly faded Back into anaemic dust and gloom.

Watercolors

My life was stuck in greyscale Until you came along With beautiful watercolors. You painted the skies With amethyst and sapphire With coral and azure. You painted the autumn trees, With amber and titian With hazel and maroon. You flooded the dark oceans With turquoise and navy. You sprinkled the grey mountains With shimmers of flaxen sunlight. My entire life exploded Into an exquisite rainbow. And then you left. And the radiant world You had painted for me Slowly faded Back into anaemic dust and gloom.

Cover me up Plaster my face with leaves Cover my closed eyes With two round roses Smother me so I'm swimming in leaves and dirt. It's in my bones It's in my blood My body leaks love. I am a soft shell so This is love When you cover me up With leaves Protect me from the world Put me to sleep Rest my eyes under Red roses Smother me so I'm bathing In leaves and dirt So my heart can be be still and silent with the earth.

Cover me up

Cover me up Plaster my face with leaves Cover my closed eyes With two round roses Smother me so I'm swimming in leaves and dirt. It's in my bones It's in my blood My body leaks love. I am a soft shell so This is love When you cover me up With leaves Protect me from the world Put me to sleep Rest my eyes under Red roses Smother me so I'm bathing In leaves and dirt So my heart can be be still and silent with the earth.

The clouds are plastic, Plastered to the sky, Synthetic blue, Fragile behind. The sun is always burns, Our tiny worlds turn, We peer through mirrors To gaze at our creation.

Odd Obscure Pale in the moonlight you were from the start A ghostly figure hovering in the corner But the glow of your red fire made your company warm Passionate you are But numb Feeling so much you feel nothing. Wanting so much your hands remain empty. Don't think I don't know you And why your heart turns cold I'm sorry you met me in innocence Only to see me turn to this This is not me I whisper slowly This is not me I whisper again I'm growing frantic You draw Into the corner Ghostly again Repulsed by my skin I am human We only just became close. And who are you? This question turns your eyes to moonlit diamonds in the dark piercing me with a stare As if to say Who are you to ask?

So I'll let my love for you abundantly flow, I'll feel the same wherever you go. Still sweeping the ash from where my heart sparked alive under the stars, under the stars. My chest is sore, you've made me raw, I can't break out of this skin. Let me go, let me go, let me go. I am frozen in the vastness, so far from you. Though the bitter taste in my mouth might fade, I'll miss you, I'll miss you. Always your skin in the moonlight. Always madness.

My skin is not mine I am repulsed by my flesh In the dark You cover me I disappear We blend into each other I am repulsed by my flesh In the dark How can you stand my scent? If I hold you at arms length Will you see how I rot? Will you see how I burn for gratification, for validation, for a sense of worth? I ache to be awakened from this state of ghostly death, for fingertips to spring alive the paleness of skin, numbness of breath I cannot touch myself I cannot stare in the glass Or I will become a murderer I am repulsed by my flesh In the dark

You loom over me, My cooling shadow. My gentle storm, You submerge me. I disperse as tiny grains In your ocean, Washed up from the sand Where I once lay as a stone. You, protector of my tenderness, Shelter me from the heat above. You loom over me, My cooling shadow.

Gentle Storm

You loom over me, My cooling shadow. My gentle storm, You submerge me. I disperse as tiny grains In your ocean, Washed up from the sand Where I once lay as a stone. You, protector of my tenderness, Shelter me from the heat above. You loom over me, My cooling shadow.
