Well
Rockie Nov 2014
A hidden hole
With money
Made of loose change

A hidden hole
Full with water
Made of rain and dirt

A hidden hole
Long forgotten
Like a childhood memory

A hidden hole
Made with brick
And a bucket so far down
You can't see the bottom

Media
Rockie Feb 2015
Not too long ago,
Facebook and Twitter and other Social Networks
All seemed a novelty
A truce amongst unimaginative
Teens and kids and adults too

Whatever happened
To romantic paper printed notes
The blotched ink that actually meant something

Now it is loveless postings
And fake marriages
And fake relationships

This is all thanks
To the brain-cell killing
'Media'
Well it's true, isn't it?

Liar
Rockie Sep 2015
It's your word against mine
Is it not?
Who shall they believe
The liar with nothing to lose
(Or so they say)
Or honest worker with everything to lose
(Or so they say)
They shall believe I,
The honesty teller
Because I can lie outta my ***
All day!

I love...
Rockie Nov 2014
I love to read,
I love to write,
What more can I say?
Reading is the way to my heart,
Writing is my hearts desire,
What more can I say?
I love the feeling it captures my attention,
Locks it up like an exotic bird in a cage,
The key,
Forever lost,
In the sea of love,
For reading,
And writing,
What more can I say?

Soul Colour
Rockie May 2015
When your true soul mate is near,
The world becomes more beautiful,
The colours more vibrant,
And it seems that everything will be ok.

When your true soul mate strays afar,
The world becomes more ugly,
The colours more dull,
And it seems that everything will be different.

When your true soul mate has passed away,
The world becomes more depressing,
The colours more black and white,
And it seems that everything will be breaking.

When your true soul mate comes back to keep you company,
The world becomes more manageable,
The colours more tinted and full of life,
And it seems that everything will be alright once more.

A Message To The Heart
Rockie Jul 2015
I'm sorry, strong little guy
For all the pain and pressure

You see, it wasn't entirely me,
Wasn't all MY fault

It was all them,
Not me

Ok, that was a slight lie,
Please forgive me

I took things slightly more seriously
Than your blood pumping could ever do

You work my veins
Until they decay

The blood rotten and thick
It drools throughout my flesh

The pressure will take its toll one day
And you will not forgive me for it
I literally have no inspiration for something I'm trying to write. So-poem :)

Bullet-Proof
Rockie Sep 2015
Bullet-proof vests
Won't be able to contain
The **** I have prepared
For you and your ******* team
Of roundabout ways
And undue leave.

Bullet-proof scars
Aren't worth noting,
Because I remember gladly,
Clear and true,
Just what I did
To you.

Bullet-proof hearts
Are so clearly fake
As destroying your life source
Is as easy as destroying the plague.

Some
Rockie Nov 2014
Some people are pretty
Some people like to rave
Some people aren't pretty
Some like to stay behind
Some people don't like others
Some people like lots of attention
But me?
I like the company
Of
Books,
Music,
Chocolate and Ice-cream,
The far distance memory
Of games
To play
And friends to find
And memories to part with
Some I like to cherish
Some I keep in a frame
Some I'll eventually forget
But some?
I'll hold close to my warm, beating heart

Man
Rockie Aug 2015
Man
His raven eyes would never see the light of day,
His heart as dark as the blacked out moon,
The weapons he mastered smelted down,
The children he fathered lost and found,
You wanted to see him locked up tight,
You couldn't have known he took his life,
Judge and Jury found him innocent,
Judge and Jury faced a fight,
Public policy said this wasn't right
Public policy told a story
Of the man that captured several views
Of several thousand million different few
That bothered to listen to the man
That changed the earth
For the better of our children.

Halloween
Is getting ever closer dear
Rest your pretty little head
And lay out the treats
For all the tricks you'd prefer to miss
While I purge the night away!
Yeah, yeah, Halloween isn't for a month or so, and purging like in the films isn't real...

Map
Rockie Jul 2015
Map
The difference between
A bird and a map
Is that one knows how to read the lands
And the other
Is made for morons
Who don't know how to explore.

Everyone has those Edgar Allan Poe moments
When they sit depressingly
Thinking of the Death
That is around the corner
And all around them
They call them pessimistic
But in truth
They are just
*Simply lonely people that need to be loved

Friendship
Rockie Oct 2014
Through thick and thin,
Broken and unbroken,
Lies, and arguments,
Heartbreak, and heartfelt apologies,
Hugs and bumps along the way,
You can count on shoulders,
To lean on,
To take advice from,
To be loved on,
To be treated,
Like family.

Glint
Rockie Feb 2015
Green eyes glint
In the shadows of night
All-knowing
Ever-present
Behind the curtains
In the trees
The eyes of the painting
Following you wherever you go

Growing Old
Rockie Oct 2014
They grew old,
A story was told,
Of laughter,
Of happiness,
And a story of woe,
But still,
They grew old together,
Loved,
And died.

Vibrancy

Without you around
To speak vibrancy

Missing
Rockie May 2015
Something is missing.
You know why?
Because my heart tells me so.

Something is missing.
You know why?
Because my tears tell me so.

Something is missing.
You know why?
Because my trembling lips tell me so.

Something is missing.
You know why?
Because my wobbling insides tell me so.

Something is missing.
You know why?
Because my upset mind set tells me so.

Sometimes
Rockie Jul 2015
Sometimes we have to let
Things from our past go
Stop reminiscing
To make way
For future memories
And even more great things.

To Dream
Rockie Oct 2014
What if you were to dream,
And everything was perfect,
Would you wake up,
And think,
'What if I were to dream perfectly again?'

Father's Demise
Rockie Oct 2014
It was all so sudden;

That he carried such heavy burdens;

And nobody knew how grave they were;

Until he passed away;

He left them in his will, you see,

For the whole family tree;

A house, his money, and love;

That's what he left for thee.

Not everybody understands;

But then, what does anyone,

Understand,

About

Her father's death?

Silver Lining
Rockie Oct 2014
Roads winding,
Paths intertwining,
There's a silver lining,
For every cloud,
That rains and pours and spits and slurs,
A *** of gold for every rainbow,
A laugh for every joke,
An A to your B,
A leaf for every tree,
A hand for fingers,
And love for every flaw

Separate
Rockie Apr 2015
We've known each other since we were four
From that first 'hello'
Eleven years, really, that far?
Although we hardly speak now
You've gone your way
And I've gone mine
Oh, **** the school choices
I miss you, my best,
My oldest,
My dearest friend
Do you wish to talk?
754 · Sep 2015
Girl
Rockie Sep 2015
I miss the girl that I once knew
The girl with hair blonder than dust
And cheeks rounder than apples

I miss the girl that I once knew
The girl with nerves of a wet napkin
And legs clumsier than spaghetti

I miss the girl I once knew
The girl who always did what she was told
And was always afraid to speak

I miss the girl I once knew,
That's all true.
But she grew up.
And I don't miss that little girl so much
Anymore.

Fourth Wall
Rockie May 2015
My mind suddenly breaks the fourth wall,
Unaware there's an audience,
More understanding of what I did than why,
I wasn't told of spectators upon my life,
Expressed not in the words of many townspeople
Who mill in the streets of my world
743 · Jan 2015
Break of Light
Rockie Jan 2015
The Break of Light
The Break of Dawn
The steps we took to fight
Aren't we just childish pawns?

To throw away
In the break of light
And break of dawn
Silly wars, silly gifts

Of broken hearts
The Broken light
Of broken dawn

Earn
Rockie Jul 2015
We all have to grow up some day
Get a job,
Earn money,
All that jazz.
It's funny,
Because it comes sooner
And more quickly,
Way scarier
Than some of us realise.
It dawns on us
Like a tidal wave on an unsuspecting village,
Or hurricane that didn't show on the radar.
Just think,
Everyone grows up.
Even if we don't want to.

Bet
Rockie Apr 2015
Bet
What do you wanna bet
That I can climb that tree
Before you catch that bee?

What do you wanna bet
That you can be cooler
If you'd listen to me?

What do you wanna bet
That everything is perfect
Within our mini mile radius?

What do you wanna bet
That a laugh is better
Than gloom?

Rhyme
Rockie Jul 2015
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Poetry doesn't have to rhyme
It doesn't even have to be in time

Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
People don't have to like you
Even if you like them too

Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
The question isn't asking who
It's asking chew

But...
Why?
Why?
Why?
**Why?

A glassful of orange
And a plateful of eggs
Spiced up pepper
And the tang of chili
A room full of teens
And a wedding full of adults
Sweetened down candles
And the reeking nip of cake
Nostrils flaring
And watering mouths
Throats burning
And stomachs grumbling
People eat
And they can smell
The sweet, sweet shell
Of a rhubarb treat

The stupidity of people that think

And their opinion
When they don't agree
With what
I have
To say.

Stop, the
creak, creak
Listen, to the
creak, creak
Of the silent home, going
creak, creak
Not everything is as it seems,
Hear your steps going
creak, creak
But you're not moving,
creak, creak
What is it?
creak, creak
Anyone there?
creak, creak
You'd expect the
creak, creak
To answer?
creak, creak
Nobody there,
creak, creak
It's an old home,
creak, creak
No it's not

Going

Trying to grab words
And force them into something
Worth meaning

A not-worth-your-time thing
A sentence built on sentence
Without a reason behind it.

Miss
Rockie Jun 2015
My heart aches
For the May that never came
The prettiest month
The prettiest name
Oh, whoever heard of the friend I've never met
But always miss
It's a strange old thing,
But by far the most true.
I love you, May,
In the friendliest of ways.

I was told
To tell the truth
But only if
It doesn't hurt people

A little girl
Sidles up to her Mamma
Mama, why shan't I not lie,
When it makes you so cry?


A Mamma is questioned
By a young un' with a little more sense
Than grown ups could ever wish to achieve

A beautiful woman replies,
To her small child with a smile and sheds a tear
Because her baby girl
Speaks with no fear
Of her already questioning conscience

Oh, baby.
I love you.
But please,
Carry on being you,
Because you have an entire lifetime,
To make
boys cry.
Do you understand, baby girl?


*Yes, Mama.
Speak the truth-
Make boys cry a salty tear,
And feel no remorse.

What if these thoughts swirled and swam and didn't doubt the thinker...?
What if, what if, what if...?

Inspiration
Rockie Jul 2015
You inspired her to write again.
To see the pure in what she wrote.
She'll still have days of doubt, of course, but...
*This song.
It catches the tears in her throat,
Causes her to think about the things she's done,
What she could do,
And all the things she aspires to be.

She/He
Rockie May 2015
She's given up.
She can't take it.
She lies through the skin of her teeth.
She hides it well.
She'll explode some day.
She won't be able to control it.
She's sorry.

He's moved on.
He's forgotten it already.
He has no reason not to tell the truth.
He shows it well.
He's already mended.
He has it all sorted out.
He's glad.

I'm laughing
I'm singing
I'm dancing
I'm grinning
Like a fool,
Like a maniac,
Yet it's not because of the sugar
It may be because I'm kinda tired
But you made me grin
By what you told me
*Thank you
To the person who told me I'm too awesome not to like and making me laugh at one in the morning. Thank you.

Though

Though I am, and forever shall be imperfect,
There is someone who takes those 'faulties'
And turns them into quirks.

Though I am, and forever shall be impossible,
There is someone who takes those 'quirks'
And turns them into fun.

Though I am, and forever shall be quiet
There is someone who takes that 'fun'
And turns it into a game.

Though I am, and forever shall be easily pleased
And eagerly smiles,
There is someone out there
Who accepts it all as a *game.

Can
Can you see me?
Am I just invisible
To your forever looking eyes?
Can't you see
How hard I've tried
To get myself here,
To be heard,
And now?
It appears my voice has been lost
Within the unforgiving crowd.
All I ever wanted,
Was to own a crown,
A place,
A thing
To call my own,
And yet?
It seems that no one,
Not one single person,
Gives a **** about the existence
Of a born tune
Given the life to do whatever they please
But?
You seem determined
On knocking her novelty down.

Of crowded corridors
And wishing we were home

It's just another year
Of rushed revising
And wishing we didn't have to

It's just another year
Of stupid stress
And wishing we were younger

It's just another year
Of growing up
And wishing everything was over already

*It's just another year.
