melanie-kate-dickerson - Hello Poetry

I'll remember the All Stars Covered in mud from our roaming Through summer festival love; And starry skies above As we wondered through the night Until the Sun kissed us; The rocking of bodies, Beneath blankets of darkness, Our skin shimmering In the moonlight. I'll remember that. But the dreams changed & faded As the world turned A new sun rose: Fuelling my heart with desires, Passions of bigger things. I grew wings and I flew to meet the horizon. But you, you wouldn't see me As I went into the light. And so, your world became dark. I left you there. I left your heart. I could only carry one. I was only strong for one. I'd hoped you'd grow with me. But you couldn't see. You couldn't breathe The bigger dreams in. The things I chose For me. For my destiny. You needed to fumble through more muddy fields, Dream beneath the same stars longer. I left you there. Because I cared too much. And we'd started to tear. The seams ripping open. Breaking us was more than I could bare. So I left you there. I left you.

I left you.

I'll remember the All Stars Covered in mud from our roaming Through summer festival love; And starry skies above As we wondered through the night Until the Sun kissed us; The rocking of bodies, Beneath blankets of darkness, Our skin shimmering In the moonlight. I'll remember that. But the dreams changed & faded As the world turned A new sun rose: Fuelling my heart with desires, Passions of bigger things. I grew wings and I flew to meet the horizon. But you, you wouldn't see me As I went into the light. And so, your world became dark. I left you there. I left your heart. I could only carry one. I was only strong for one. I'd hoped you'd grow with me. But you couldn't see. You couldn't breathe The bigger dreams in. The things I chose For me. For my destiny. You needed to fumble through more muddy fields, Dream beneath the same stars longer. I left you there. Because I cared too much. And we'd started to tear. The seams ripping open. Breaking us was more than I could bare. So I left you there. I left you.

You rebel Unconventional to your own standards Of what being means. Because its the only freedom You can believe When you're binding yourself By all the rules And guilt Given to you by society, Religion, elders and facts. Where's the questioning, Where's the daring to be, The test in your own limits And the push against your own conformity that you refuse to see. Where is the open mind You claim you have? Who are you without it all? Who are you without you? Can you push the boundaries To greet yourself on the edge of reason, To love yourself on the cusp of unconditional adorations. Can you?

Outside of your Box

You rebel Unconventional to your own standards Of what being means. Because its the only freedom You can believe When you're binding yourself By all the rules And guilt Given to you by society, Religion, elders and facts. Where's the questioning, Where's the daring to be, The test in your own limits And the push against your own conformity that you refuse to see. Where is the open mind You claim you have? Who are you without it all? Who are you without you? Can you push the boundaries To greet yourself on the edge of reason, To love yourself on the cusp of unconditional adorations. Can you?

You bring all of yourself To the spaces between Our light and dark. But you never explore All the hope I've saved For you in my heart. You don't know What I need What makes me bleed, Makes me shiver, Makes me dream. You don't touch The darkest parts of me. The places were my light lies, In greatest pleasure. Your would-be-delights, If only you'd see.

You're blind to me

You bring all of yourself To the spaces between Our light and dark. But you never explore All the hope I've saved For you in my heart. You don't know What I need What makes me bleed, Makes me shiver, Makes me dream. You don't touch The darkest parts of me. The places were my light lies, In greatest pleasure. Your would-be-delights, If only you'd see.

How do we know The reasons for coming here? What if we feel too little, About things much bigger than us? And maybe I led you here, Where you don’t want to be. Maybe there is a hole So dark inside of me. What if you see, what if you see…. But there are a thousand beats Out there in the city’s heart, Out there in the oceans crash, In the silence of your eyes. In the sound of this dark. So maybe we’ll just be here, In the darkness that we share, Safe from the light That can expose the feelings, Smaller than us, but bigger than this. The things of indifference, That we wrap into our embrace, As we undress the souls within, Because something is better than nothing. And what if you see, What if you come to know me, And in that you learn, Of all the things that make me burn. Or what if you don’t see, What if you can’t find me in me… And if I am wrong, If I have brought you here Into the space laden with grit, Then we can have tonight, Before we kiss beneath the sunlight, One last touch as we separate.

What if I’m wrong about this?

How do we know The reasons for coming here? What if we feel too little, About things much bigger than us? And maybe I led you here, Where you don’t want to be. Maybe there is a hole So dark inside of me. What if you see, what if you see…. But there are a thousand beats Out there in the city’s heart, Out there in the oceans crash, In the silence of your eyes. In the sound of this dark. So maybe we’ll just be here, In the darkness that we share, Safe from the light That can expose the feelings, Smaller than us, but bigger than this. The things of indifference, That we wrap into our embrace, As we undress the souls within, Because something is better than nothing. And what if you see, What if you come to know me, And in that you learn, Of all the things that make me burn. Or what if you don’t see, What if you can’t find me in me… And if I am wrong, If I have brought you here Into the space laden with grit, Then we can have tonight, Before we kiss beneath the sunlight, One last touch as we separate.

Nobody wants a body When given so easily. Nobody trusts In lust. He will fail to see What is dormant In the soul and heart Of the hands that touch And the mouth that kisses. And the advantage lies In his taking. While she is overlooked Because society says something else. And the rules were broken, Just like her heart will be. Because he can’t choose her. He can only have her.

The shadows of time move over us Like clouds rushing in to storm. The water becomes irresolutely churned Taking our souls with it All the way out to sea, Away from everything we can predict. And while we are drifting, weathering the storm The motion surges our intuitions And we lose the premonitions of why we came here. Through the eruption of thunder Our voices are lost and we’re not listening. In the snapping of lightening We are blinded to the truth in each other. So we rely on the unknown movements As we try to manoeuvre the sails of our ship. But there is no knowing if we can survive this. It’s real but we thought it was a game. And the heart beats in fear now Rather than with the survival of adrenalin and exaltation.

Our Storm

The shadows of time move over us Like clouds rushing in to storm. The water becomes irresolutely churned Taking our souls with it All the way out to sea, Away from everything we can predict. And while we are drifting, weathering the storm The motion surges our intuitions And we lose the premonitions of why we came here. Through the eruption of thunder Our voices are lost and we’re not listening. In the snapping of lightening We are blinded to the truth in each other. So we rely on the unknown movements As we try to manoeuvre the sails of our ship. But there is no knowing if we can survive this. It’s real but we thought it was a game. And the heart beats in fear now Rather than with the survival of adrenalin and exaltation.

I was waiting for a sign of the truth. I was holding my breath, Until I heard you whisper A long stretch of undeserving silence. Then I curled myself up again. I decided to love just the rain. The rain cannot dull my fire. It is a love I can embrace Without waiting for a whisper of the truth. A silence I can understand without wondering...

Rain truth

I was waiting for a sign of the truth. I was holding my breath, Until I heard you whisper A long stretch of undeserving silence. Then I curled myself up again. I decided to love just the rain. The rain cannot dull my fire. It is a love I can embrace Without waiting for a whisper of the truth. A silence I can understand without wondering...

So much choice So much time So many miles apart So much non-commitment. Anxious and dysfunctional. A side-ways game Of friendship cover-ups. Keeping your options open, Playing your cards close. Thinking I can't see your moves, As you pull back and forth, Hot and cold. Then assuming what you will About my words and indiscretions. And all the insecurities Triggering your actions Are my fault. I left you unable to judge My heart and soul. I left you unable to identify My purity of intent. I left you questioning My cards. And you failed to ask, Because your ego chains you with fear. So we’ll lose at this. Two disappointed hearts.

Put me on your boat Mr Pirate man And sail me away to the edge. And if we fall off at the sunset I promise I won't be upset. I'm sure we'd land in the stars And cruise along molten black waves, Under the light of our lady Moon Each swell rolling us into our dreams. Just be sure Mr Pirate man That you've courage enough for adventure And passion a'plenty for the timeless The unknowns and my own zest for living. Because I'm sorry Mr Pirate man I cannot tolerate bland crusades And frivolous words lost to the winds. The fiery within needs no fear, only honesty. For I am free to drift like the currents, So don't hold onto me Just sail with me to the beyond.

The reality you feel Is the illusion your insecurities have fed you. The observations made become your assumptions That destroy the beauty of the unknown. The words you choke on Distort truth to lies. Then your silence feeds your fears Until your heart begins to fill with doubt. The possibilities dissipitate Sabotaged any friendship, any hope, any adventure, any future. Convinced by the anxiety that warps your mind, You close yourself. There's no way back through the twisted silence and physical separation. Ruined.

A blind assumption

The reality you feel Is the illusion your insecurities have fed you. The observations made become your assumptions That destroy the beauty of the unknown. The words you choke on Distort truth to lies. Then your silence feeds your fears Until your heart begins to fill with doubt. The possibilities dissipitate Sabotaged any friendship, any hope, any adventure, any future. Convinced by the anxiety that warps your mind, You close yourself. There's no way back through the twisted silence and physical separation. Ruined.
