Don't write to please others
It won't be the truth anyway

Don't write to be edgy
If it means you don't even believe what you just said

Don't write to be popular
For popularity doesn't always mean quality

Don't try to write what you think someone wants to hear
Dare to be yourself
 Jun 2016 John F Anderson III
Rae
A week with me and you.
No distractions, no pain.
No rumors, no liars
Just us two.

Sharing the purest feelings.
No hurt, no false love.
A pure love.
A week that makes us cry when we're leaving.

Because we know when we get back
We have to deal with the pain,
With the distractions,
And it will be love that we lack.

But this is our week
That can't be ruined.
Not by moods and drama.
This week, happiness is all that I seek.
I need this more than anything
Life is never  a paradox ,
We can't live and die at the same time
Paradox is suitable for poetry,
Not in the reality
We live in contrast,
And no median in it!
Thank you for reading my poem.
She let the wave come around her legs.

… A soft, and welcoming trail.

What wonderful murmurs the sun had spoke!

The spirits, who carried them over the neon haze,

made his eyes become pale.


He let his hand press against her own.

… But sadly, he felt no affection.

His nerves began to cringe at the beauty.

Severed, he trudged with the smells of sweat and spray.

Drenched in a pensive reflection.


He dropped to the sand and screamed in mute.

… I was adrift, abandoned, coy.

We dreamed of picking the broken glass from the swell, for you.

Doused, and wistfully crawling through the foam -

Never assuming her guilt, sat the clueless boy.


Torn between child, and God’s own courier.

… I began to surface, floating aimlessly.

The man in the sand, and the boy lost at sea -

Are one in the same.

Just like him.

Just like me.

We laughed.
She smiled.
But the sea wept  -
For what could never be.
They move as lace
through the discarnate night;
Soft, volitional footsteps along disturbing corridors,
with outstretched
scalpel-esque appendages,
******* five, adjacent, stimulating patterns-

getting deeper-

 
Deeper.


And flashing their leer
of quivering needles.
Lullabying odiums to Johnny-*****;
Drinking his breath in the night.

O, for an exposed ripe?
Seeing only a diced-fraction of hell?
Will you not rest in the light?
Or wisp away in the rigid winds of reality?

The dawn is riding forward-

As the last tree in the forest falls with a whisper.
The air matches the forest deep.
Its Auburn glow weaves congestion into thick dimensions.
The grass, and leaves, and trees coexist in this moment of surreality.
A sepia trim around a coordinated portrait -
The eye cannot adjust to a moment irreplaceable.
A melting slathered teardrop falls slowly.
The tree's push this far into the sky -
Not pushing, but holding, rather.
As a weeping mother catches her child and slowly descends them.
She cannot hold forever,
and the red of scars, disaster, and reflection advents.

She let’s the child wander;
Developing.
Enveloping.
And black does become the night.
Delicate, and sluggish, this darkness falls.
Her arms can bear no more,
as the sunset-soul consumes an arcane definite.
Droning below the lake,
of which no hills sit near.
Charcoal weighing down the once prepossessing light -
of nature’s *****.

A soft whisper,
And death.

Dreams…
And guilt.

"Free us of his torment!”
Cried the leaves: post-wilted.

"He’ll devour us by his own light!”
Shrieked the trees: un-guilted.

"Why entwine such sedulous melancholia?”
Squealed the breeze: pre-juilted.

Oh! Do despair in blessedness!

Oh! Does the flora mourn for her exaltation!

But…

Oh,

Does his darkness revile the ***** soul -

In impassioned ecstasy.
I wish to be held
in the fluttering midst of your lashes.
To dream and lie
in soft gardens of green and dismissal.
I wish to be sunk
deep through the enclosing of your gashes.
A stream drank dry,
with decayed skeletons of sweet thistle.

I dare not divulge
How I loathe,
How I want.
I dare not indulge
In my breath,
Nor my heart.

I wish to be drunk!
How the merlot might rain onto my earth!
To fit and cry!
The tortured soil in pleasure and respite.
Oh, I am compelled,
To curse all monickers shared unto worth!
Now dreams must die!
Drowned amongst wretched ripples of moonlight!

I will not become
Who I loathe,
Who I want.
I will abstain from
My own breath,
My own heart.
