Gerald: Poems

,.......

You play hard
to get, and I...don't play fetch.

go... love yourself

....

Gerald Dec 2023

....

I have
woven you
into metaphors
and similes.

You are
embroidered
on the fabric of
my heart.

Gerald Nov 2022

....

You could
love me the deepest;
fight the Ocean
for its tittle.

You could
enchant my soul;
replacing the moon
on the horizon.

But even after
all that, If you want my heart,
you'll have to learn
to share with the
darkness.

....

To want to speak. And not to know how.

To feel. And not to know what.

To be dead, and breathing; somehow.

🌊

Gerald Oct 19

🌊

Like the
earth yearns
for the rain. As if a drop
could quench
this ocean of flames;
the Sahara burns,
but it burns in vain.

Like the moon
longs for the sea...
his gentle touch,
a soothing breeze.

But the moon
could try as she might;
the sea remains distant,
a love out of sight.

🌕

Gerald Jun 2023

🌕

She holds the
moon in her eyes.
His eyes hold
the sea.

Her beauty enchanting;
casually, she'd make
him cry if she
pleased.

Witches worship her aura.
Wolves bowl, howling.

She knows she is magic.

"You speak
    to me as if
       you're
            afraid
    we'll fall
               in love"

Strange,

how I crave love
and deny it too.

Why the flowers
start to wilt the moment
they start to bloom.

How the warmth
of a fire in winter and the pain
of getting burned remind
me of you.

🪐✨

Gerald Oct 19

🪐✨

Galaxies
swirl In the infinity
of your embrace.

Your kiss,
like a comet's tail,
leaves stardust on
my soul.

Our lips collide in
a celestial ballet—a dance
of tongues,

a rythem that
our hearts control.

You are
so full of light.

The ones
that fail to see
your sparkle can close
their eyes.

A moment in a
lifetime.
you placed your
hand in mine.

For once I got a
glimpse,
"souls intertwine"

And if we touched
our lips?
Put a pause on time.

The apocalypse.
Your tongue dancing,
on mine.

A haunted place

Gerald Aug 2021

A haunted place

And there I was;

alone again.

But it didn't bother me anymore. My heart had become a harbor for ghosts.

They come. But they don't stay. But they also don't really leave.

#haunted

Bullets

Gerald Mar 2022

Bullets

Standing amidst
bullets blazing.

They never quite
see just how much
their words affect me

Darkness, my old friend.

Gerald Aug 2021

Darkness, my old friend.

The light knows me; however, in bits and in pieces. The darkness knows me well.

Darling

Gerald Jun 2020

Darling

You hate me..

'cause I'm the one
person you couldn't fool.

Hexes and spells just
don't work on me.

Darling,
I'm the very
darkness that makes
up you.

@catch.inthe.dark

Doomed

Gerald Aug 2021

Doomed

I broke silence
to keep me from
drowning.

But a monster was
lurking on the
surface.

Double Date

Gerald Aug 2022

Double Date

Your demons can come too.

@catch.inthe.dark

Drunk & Driving.

Gerald Mar 2022

Drunk & Driving.

It pours,
when it rains.

Drunk on
thoughts of you,
driving down memory
lane.

E-M-O-T-I-O-N-S

Gerald Feb 2021

E-M-O-T-I-O-N-S

Where do
all those unexpressed
emotions go?

Do they die,
or maybe they just wander
around inside?

Is my heart
a grave yard...Or a town
full of words yearning
to be heard?

Falling

Gerald Oct 2021

Falling

Maybe that's the point of it all.

Maybe we have to fall,
and we have to
break, until we cannot
break anymore.

#falling

Farewell

Gerald Aug 2021

Farewell

I guess you
like it when I'm
begging.

You thought
you'd always have
me at your
mercy.

Well you should
know;
even the strongest
feelings fade,
when taken for granted
and ignored.

G3R4LD (2.0)

He is everything
I'll never be;
enough and appealing.

I'm everything that
he isn't; broken and
entombed. Put away.

But becoming - blooming.

#bloom #become

Hearts

Gerald Sep 2021

Hearts

Hearts don't
break like glass.

Hearts break like cables;
they bend and they twist.

It hurts a lot before they snap.

#hearts #hurt #break

Holes

Gerald Oct 2021

Holes

How foolish
of me to think
I would heal.

I tend to
forget I've got
holes in my heart.

It can never fill.

I feel tired

Gerald Oct 2021

I feel tired

The horizon...

..at that place where the sky meets the sea,
    you'll find me.

  I'll be there resting.

                   With my heart
                                in my lap.

Incomplete

Gerald Jun 2020

Incomplete

You gave back only a fraction of what I gave. Leaving me to wonder where all the other pieces went.

And I gave you all of me.

#pieces #piece #incomplete #all #give #wonder #leave

In the end

Gerald Oct 2021

In the end

'eventually'
came too soon.
And while
he knew the inevitable,
he never expected
he'd fade away
that quickly.

I said "I love you" but I lied.

Gerald Oct 2021

I said "I love you" but I lied.

Words meant for you, I told someone else.

When I should be in your arms, I find myself lying some place else.

Is love dead?

Gerald Apr 2022

Is love dead?

..and now we are just rolling the dice. Stripping our souls naked for nothing, but flimsy feelings of love.

Were we born too late? Do our hearts melt to stone as the world gets warmer.

Is love dead? Take me to the grave, I pay my respects. Are hearts born this cold or they freeze when we grow older?

Was I foolish to love, or was I brave for trying? The first cut is the deepest, but how excruciating the healing!

Perhaps, I should've been told...that love lies deep, six feet in the ground, burning in the cold.

It goes on...

Gerald Nov 2021

It goes on...

..but life happens, and
            promises don't matter.

Later we learn,

         that bottles break; and
         those pieces can
         shatter...

                               further.

Just to know how it feels

Gerald Aug 2021

Just to know how it feels

She drunk his sweet
words like poison;
She knew they would **** her eventually.

She wore his
compliments like bait luring
the demons. She knew they were coming.

@catch.inthe.dark

Just to know how it feels. "Put dracula in charge of the blood bank"

Let me be

Gerald Aug 2021

Let me be

But if
you chased
my demons away,
what am I
really
left with?

Angels
don't know what
it's like to
be an outcast.

#demons #angels

Maybe

Gerald Jun 2020

Maybe

Maybe something I don't know about happened in the past.

Perhaps someone took away my heart.

Or is it just me?
Because everyone I meet makes me feel like I'm just so hard to love.

And now...they find it odd, that I like it so much in the dark.

Memories

Gerald Jun 2020

Memories

...you will forget that you forgot. Then tears start to fall.

My girl

Gerald Sep 2021

My girl

You carry
my worth
in your eyes.

Like the moon
and the sea...
with his tides;

you make me fall.
you make me rise.

Pain & triggers.

Gerald Sep 2022

Pain & triggers.

They will tell you different. But real pain, never really goes away. It is just latent.

Adjective
latent (not comparable)

1. Existing or present but concealed or inactive.

2. (biology) lying dormant or hidden until circumstances are suitable for development or manifestation.

Put the blame on me

Gerald Jun 2020

Put the blame on me

I have myself to blame.
Every "stop sign" I knocked down is a witness.

Sometimes

Gerald Jun 2021

Sometimes

Sometimes
you can feel the void.
The emptiness.
You can feel the wind
blow through the
chambers of your heart.

And sometimes,
there's a haunting silence;
The sound of ghosts of all the
people I've ever loved.

Superman

Gerald Jul 2022

Superman

She said,
"I love the hardest.
My love can hit you
hard like a train."

He said,
"it's okay, I can take it."

"And my soul has
a certain darkness,
it will sometimes drive you insane. Poison you,
like kryptonite does Superman."

He said,
"it's okay, you can
be my weakness."

To Nat..

Gerald Aug 2021

To Nat..

...and this is what you've taught me; how to love someone deeply, and not want them close.

So this is what you've done. You kept me warm: and now I know to feel the cold.

Trapped

Gerald Jun 2020

Trapped

Its really hard to escape,
When the thing you're running from is yourself.

Truth/Dare

Gerald Oct 2021

Truth/Dare

You don't
need wings to fly.
You just need
a really tall courage,
then you have
to jump.
