Alone in my head Emotional strings cut And pulled Forcing me to wonder Then the doorway opens And through the veil I wander
Winding paths twisted trees Stars drifting through The endless midnight sea A message laid out to read You come from a world where False truths lead Then two paths revealed to me
On my left I hear The somber ringing Of heavens bells But to the right Familiar whispers call to me And I am compelled to follow
Traversing into the dark Abruptly blinded By the light reflecting off The pearly gates of hell Time comes to a stand still And I’m left to ponder
Screaming into the dark beginning to find meaning That’s all I want to know Tell me what the truth is To this man made world Because I truly feel that I don’t belong With this carbon based crowed And I really hate to admit I’m human But that’s all I am I just want to know what It means. I do however know one simple thing The world we have created is the hell we fear
I see a world in decay The wrong people stepped up to rise We’re all just sheep adding to the flock An I can see the human inside An I can see the human through your eyes But I ask where is the line drawn between you and I
I can Envision a paradise Where everyone’s freed from a wicked mind Where everyone is freed to truly be alive
But I can never grasp it I fear that humans can only be defined By the pain a suffering within and without their own lives
May just be that we’ve given up And locked our selves away In the illusion we call “Reality”
You must pardon me for what I say It’s just the old soul inside Finally fed up with seeing the world in decline
When I was younger I knew that the tendency would only grow stronger And as I grow older I know I’ll only fall harder As I get up I know I’ll be able to run farther Before I reach my final collapse I ask again for forgiveness this is just me And my misanthropic tendency
I love you But I think I should tell you I never thought I could feel this way Your smile Your laugh Your presence The way you talk to me I’ve been overwhelmed with emotions over the years my feelings have changed, Yet I mean it when I say I hate you
(Read in reverse) This was my first attempt at a reverse poem
As the night falls upon the earth Let thee commune With thy brothers And take to the mountains Just before the peak of dawn Scream thy names to the Gods Until they shake the sky With thunder and lightning
From the mountaintop Let thy blood flow Like the rivers of time No beginning No end Just existence
The answers you Seek lies not Within materialistic needs But within yourself Far beyond flesh and bone
As the dawn rises And outcasts the night Feel the warm glow of life As it unshackles thy true nature Revealing to you Your soul For this is who you are
My humans haunt The dreams I escape to They are tethered to me As I am to them I will torment And let chaos reign Until I’m freed from these Unearthly chains
Falling With Wings spread in fright The Angels sing but I pay no mind Locking away the idea of heavens gates I rolled the dice Now Earth becomes my hellish paradise
I step into the shower The water temperature turned all the way up I want each drop to burn As if to purge my soul No matter how hard I scrub I can never wash away my sin Its stained too deep Within
What do you write When your mind is blank What do you say When words have left you I need to say something to relieve the pain So I’ll tell you ………… ………………………… ……….. …………… ………………. ……………………. ……………………….. ……. ……. …………. …………………..
What is the meaning Of meaning That’s all I want to know The purpose of you leaving And the meaning of your soul No I don’t want your poetic explanations I only desire your poetic lies To distract me From this question That’s all way drifting Through my mind.
When my masks are tired They wear me. These faces can only be worn for so long before Even they grow self conscious Of what the world thinks. My masks wear me because they know I care about nothing Which allows them solitude from judgment. Solitude from the human ego. Once they have recovered Our roles will once again switch And I can feel familiar within “Society” Is Why I Wear These Masks
My dear miss guided sheep I see you wonder blindly Through the path of dying roots The darkness you hid form for so long Now takes to you
I hear you scream Pleading to see the way back, My curious eyes loom over you As I try to fathom why you don’t submit yourself To the end
Willingly I shall approach you For I am the light that will guide you to the place You are meant to be, Now take hold of my decaying hand So we may walk this path of darkness together
My dear miss guided sheep Let me restore your sight And unhinge your chains from obedience Your judgment will now forever be Of your own free will, But I order you to embrace my light So I may taint your purity
O sweet child How your eyes glistened like the sun, Your heart radiating With kindness and compassion, Yet here you lay Broken Trampled by the world and its ways. I do not pity you But know that I love you. I could pick you up and mend your wounds But I shall not.. Instead I will throw you to the wolves And guide you to survival I am not your friend I am not your savior I am your father Do not forget me.
Inspiration seems to elude me so here is another one I wrote awhile back.
Why do I feel so lonely hanging from this orchard? So many others yet the feeling of solitude binds to me, And the thoughts start to seep in. You will never be good enough to feel the warm soothing touch Of the farmer choosing you for a new purpose, You are too undeserving of ripening.
So the orchard that is life will decide it’s my time to be let go. Abused by the fall I descend to the bottom. I am now the apple that has fallen too far from the tree, On the inside I rot normally But on the outside I am black and blue.
