Today I felt the urge to fall down a flight of stairs, and when I say fall
I mean,
           jump,
                     plummet
                                   and plunge.

I wanted to feel something, a pain that wasn't already carried within me.

I could imagine the weightlessness I  would have felt as my body relaxed,
how time would have appeared hampered as if altered by my sudden descent.

That numbing pain as each step would buffet my spine and finally the  ominous silence that preludes my last breath while my misery pools around me glistening for all to see.

though sadly...


.             I live in a bungalow
Vertical, ever get that sudden urge to jump off something you know you shouldn't ?

My first non- rhyming piece, hope you enjoy :)
No amount of love
Could form an ointment to heal
These scars on my chest

Not even your words
Can unravel the stitches
That I had to sew.

Even voodoo dolls
Had never seen such torture
Inflicted at once.

For I must heal wounds
Because I know I'm afraid,
They may re-open.

And these fragile bones
Will crumble into mere dust
Lost in winds of love.

I've no solutions
Just questions with no answers
I'm at my wits' end
It's 1 A.M.
And I just finished my midnight meal
After my thoughts almost suffocated me
And my demons almost claimed me
I think I can finally go to bed
...
It's 2 A.M.
And here I am again
Lost in the sound of your voice
And the image of your face
Floating inside my head
...
It's 3 A.M.
And I'm trying a bit too hard
to drown out your memories
with my endless tears
Creating a river my eyes bled
...
It's 4 A.M.
And I guess I was a fool to think
I'd get any sleep tonight
Maybe this is it
It's time to go
To finally shut off
All the chaos in my head
...
It's 5 A.M.
And I'm still alive
Somehow
Yet
Forever cursed
To relive the day
Over and Over
And over
Again
Another hidden gem found in the depths of 2013 that I found worthy of resurrecting... ~BM
I'm dreaming of summer nights
And the sound of the ocean breeze
I'm dreaming of the blanket of stars
That'll watch over us out by the seas

I'm dreaming of your electric touch
As we make out by the campfire
I'm dreaming of your endless love
And the reckless nights full of desire

I'm dreaming of dreams
That keep me awake
I'm dreaming of fantasies
I never want to break

I'm dreaming of you
Though I knew it wouldn't last
You're nothing but a dream
Stuck in a summer past
An old poem I dug up from 2010.. Simple and worth sharing... On a different note I appreciate all the support this wonderful poetry community has given my friend, RH, and I can't wait for her to see how well her words are loved by all you wonderful people. Stay cool ~BM
