Worldly Crystals
Ayn Jan 2020
The jade grass,
Sapphire ocean,
Amber marshes
And topaz beaches.
All of this is outside,
Right past my door,
I’d go, but to the world...
I’m a bore.
I mean I am probably a rather boring person. But **** the people who think that. I might be happy with my life so it’s ok. Haha 100 in a month... ******* I write too much...

Spring
Ayn Apr 2020
There’s only so much time
For the petals fly by,
And the thorns
Are always quick to follow.
About anything that seems good at first, especially this break from school due to the 2019-nCoV epidemic.

Progression
Ayn Feb 2020
All it takes is some time,
And things can happen.
I waited in my solitary state,
But eventually the raven came for me,
not a half a second too late.
It bore a letter,
A letter which filled a book.
I’ve been bored today, so I’ve just been writing.

Apparently
Eyes that I thought
Held no value
Are rather pretty
To others.
Apparently I have nice eyes (even though they’re not too great vision wise). You learn something new everyday.

The Pulsating Pen
Ayn Jan 2020
I think I write too much,
But it’s my savior; my lifeline.
Without it, my heartbeat
Would most certainly flatline.

It is everyday,
That I,
Ever so longingly
Look at my
Ever so shimmering
Blade of peace.
Without it’s edge,
I would go
Far off the beach
Ripped by the
Riptide of insanity.

But I keep writing,
As to keep my bloodlust
In check, and to not face
The

The title has little to do. And sorry for the train wreck of a poem... there was a trash train, a logging train, and a truck full of firecrackers, and they all collided at the same time... that’s my excuse.

Winged Clocks
Ayn Jan 2020
A class full of wonders,
but there I sat,
talking to the one of interest.

Topic after topic slipped by,
our minds ran cracked and dry,
but we kept talking.
We talked about life,
our problems and strife,
what plagued our week,
and what made us weak.

The clock had long since grown wings,
and it's deathly bell shook my body,
but as classes solemnly moved,
she moved along with me.
We continued to excitedly talk
as we kept on our inter-class walk.
Once it had come to a close,
I wondered in thoughts of blue,
if it could ever happen again.
A fluid yellow moment
on a viscous black week.
I sound like a child for 16 don't I? Don't answer that, I enjoy the remnants of my already shattered pride. Yikes though, it did make me happy to have talked to someone for an hour and forty-five minutes. Which is a hard thing for me to do with anyone.

Viral
Ayn Mar 2020
What’s all the hubbub
Just a worse influenza
Overbuying food...
I by no means are an expert on this whole thing about covid-19, I know it is a problem, but people are overreacting. It is literally the flu, but worse, and stays latent in a person longer. It attacks older people and smokers, as well as people with compromised lungs. So just keep clean and don’t get too wild about it (I have been following covid-19 since mid January and saw it’s spread through china. I have a lot to say on the topic).
Ayn May 2020
Now that strings have been formed,
will they prove to hold like cables,
or is it another delusion?

How am I to awake on time
when my racing mind
keeps me up too late?

Why is my chest
feeling as it is?
my heart
cannot hold emotion,
but why does it act
as if it can feel?

Why do these voices
always get swept over my head?

And how was I so careless,
and open,
to a stranger?

And why are there so many questions
without answers?
Even that last question I don't have an answer to! It's weird.

Waiting For Two Ghosts
Ayn Mar 2020
A bushel of sweet berries
Wait upon their willowed branch
For the ghosts to come for them

The rains will come and drench,
The sun will march and shine,
But the sky will never change it’s hue.

Sweet berries wait for two ghosts
They’re no different than you.
I forgot what I originally wrote this poem as. I passed out in the middle of writing it.

Ayn May 2020
Tiny drops of memories
Flow past our open minds
Bringing back the melancholy
Of a long forgotten childhood.

Maybe it wasn’t your fault
But I resented you for it.
Maybe you did come back
But you changed so much.
Melancholy sounds like a yummy word. But it isn’t so yummy... EDIT: wow I didn’t notice I already had 11. I posted this hours ago... oops.

walls
Ayn Apr 2020
When the walls finally fall
and the mask finally splits,
it can be seen by all
that your castle's in bits.

A pressure can and will always push down,
you can't push back and keep your crown.

Postal
Ayn Mar 2020
Do we really know
Where our soul shall go
After we decide to die,
And let our phantasm fly?

Or is our hurt cry
Another futile try?
Do those who pass us by
Suffer from the same lie?
I guess I’m back into writing. Yay!

Stars
Ayn Feb 2020
Numerous simmering stars
Slip into the sky nightly,
Shining a a light on our paths,
Guiding us with their truths.
In conjunction with our luna,
They create the immaculate sky.

It is the stars that shine so true,
That uproot the light of night,
And create our sky so blue.
It is these stars
That lie to you.

Untitled
Ayn May 2020
In time,
Sparks will fall.
Flames will roar
Over the shimmering horizon.
A well-done sky,
No way to return,
But one way to cry.

One Day...
Ayn Feb 2020
One of these days,
I have to learn to voice my desires,
Rather than hide them in my poetry.
I need to be bold if I ever want to go anywhere.

Shaken Earth
Ayn Jan 2020
As the walls come down,
There’s a look in your eyes;
My fear begins to freeze
As I recall all of those times
I shouldn’t have cried
And all of those times
I should have died.
But
I don’t mind,
Because you
Were so kind.
Inspired by the song “H.” by TOOL

Luminescence
Ayn Jan 2020
The vague moonlit visage
of her eternally beautiful face
was burned into my mind.

I remember it all,
especially the eyes.
She was smiling
a ventriloquist's smile.
Her face may have been
a summer sun's smile,
but her eyes
were a winter moon's sobs.

I want to help her
more than my pride
would ever
let my mouth admit.

It stabbed me,
like a rose's thorn.
Her immaculate facade
wrapped me in silky petals
then stabbed me with
those desolate eyes.

I still believe
that if I lost my sight,
and saw her no longer,
I would still see her that night.
Trash? Probably. But I'm trash too so it evens out. Love is weird man. Also, I'm still writing a bunch of poems a day, I'm just not posting some because A: I'd rather not, and B: I post a lot, so I thought I should post less.

Hey,
Ayn Feb 2020
Ignore them.
Do what you want.
If they don’t want it,
Then all they are
To you and me,
Are enemies.
People used to make fun of me for writing poetry, I cared and stopped. Then I needed it, so I stopped caring. They’re just people not even worthy of attention.
Ayn Feb 2020
I saw your eyes so blue,
I wondered if you were there too.
But now I saw that my rose grew
And I’d love to hand it to you

My feelings and love will hold true.

This write took a lot of courage to do...
I honestly wonder who
This write would go to.
I wonder if they knew
How deeply I caught love’s flu.

Lost
Ayn Apr 2020
When what is lost
Has not yet become found,
Why do we miss it’s presence
And dream it was still around?
When the sun finally sets
The sky will turn black,
But morning is just ahead.
And the sun should come back.

Not Today
Ayn Mar 2020
No,
You don’t belong
In this head of mine
I think it’s time
For you
To politely...
*******!

Today is not the day
For you to take over
And ruin me in every way.
I don’t need another thumbprint
To litter these pages of mine.
There’s a lot with this. It’s actually about cutting myself. I oftentimes lose myself to another portion of my mind and that other “conscience” lets say, will go to town on my arm. The pages with thumbprints are thumbprints of blood in a notebook I have, marking each time I failed to keep control of myself. Dark undertone, right?

Mindful
Ayn Feb 2020
It seems to always be those
Who weigh on you the most
That will impressively impose
On the thoughts you host.
Tryna write at least something.
About how it’s always the ones you have a deep connection too or don’t want to think about that always seem to find a way into your head.

Love-Hate
Ayn Feb 2020
If you love your hate,
And hate your love,
You’d be rather irate.
I’d suggest flying a dove,
And make peace,
For the hour strikes late,
And love is in everyone’s fate.
Inspired by misreading a poem. (Misread have for hate...)

Reversal
Ayn Jan 2020
Picked up and put down.
Thrown into the ground.
Suffering from pain and hate
My mind goes a blank white,
My blood is stubbornly irate.
The day holds less light,
And the night now controls,
Filling my heart with empty holes.
I haven’t been so sleep deprived in a while. I don’t think my insomnia is comin’ back, but who knows? Certainly not me!

Rain. Sun. Gone.
Ayn Jan 2020
It’s all a game of chess
you are just another pawn
We are all pawns, I digress.
Everybody is the same
Nobody is more special than the other
Not that anyone is special in this game
“The players don’t exist, mother.
There is no god, there is no satan”
A child will say this to their parent
This action was as useless as probation.
truth lain upon deaf ears, that is apparent.
We are all entrapped here, it is eternal
There is no cloud nine, it’s all infernal.
April or May 2019. Angry for some reason... I forget why. Name was taken from the song of the same name by Mudvayne.

Who?
Ayn May 2020
Who are you?
The person
who wrote these pages full?
You wear my name,
play my game,
but I don't remember
if you and I
are just the same lie.

Unspoken
Ayn Feb 2020
Brimming with silent
Trepidation, words come not;

I think I’m really tired. Nothing is happy or nice rn.

Meditation
Ayn Jan 2020
It’s a way to calm oneself
After a tough day of work.
Clearing your mind,
Or filling it with other thoughts.
You feel refreshed at the end,
But it all hits back on you,
Like the hammer hits
The glowing metal,
Sending sparks of joy away.
Then you feel like
You should meditate again,
And so you do.
I thank the friend I talked with for the idea. You know who you are. I wonder if anyone else can find out what this is really about...

the child’s outer shell
Ayn Jan 2020
The caring child,
Who hopes for
The goodwill of all,
And believes in everyone.

The caring child,
Who listens to metal,
And writes dark poetry.

The caring child,
Who enjoys cutting
Himself right open,
And has attempted
To take his own life
A regrettable 4 times
Welp I’ll be frank, that child is me. Apparently I’m a really caring person, but I just do what seems right, which is making sure everyone is ok and happy.

— The End —
