lockdown
MangoMan Mar 2020
a lock down,
forces one to open up
forces one to show love.
a lock,
downed by vulnerability
vulnerability put down when the lock gets lifted.
somehow, the year these past few months have been... there's good from it all.

I used to use poetry as a way to get emotions off my chest,
before it became one big popularity contest.
I think that sharing poetry is amazing but i feel so pressured for it to become "recognized," and well, in this age.. it just ******* *****.

stormy summer situations
MangoMan Nov 2019
Weather like this,
Beckons for us to be together.
The sunniest season also gets rain so if you have a bad day, remember that it's the rain that waters your hopes and dreams, similarly the bad days make the good ones that much sweeter.

Miscommunication
MangoMan Oct 2019
We're slowly growing apart,
and I'm just waiting for the day,
you don't reply.
Communication series pt 3.
Saddest part is knowing that there will come a day where some other guy will take all of you away, leaving me in the dust... pondering on what could've been.

Moments like these
MangoMan Oct 2019
Do you ever feel as if there are moments that force you to disconnect?
Moments like these.
Perched on a stoop.
Sun peeking through pregnant spring clouds.
Rain
Drops,
Bellowing for hope
Change
Growth
Newness.
Do you ever feel,
as if,
you’re,
too connected,
to the world?
I guess I had to disconnect to reconnect...

Communication - Pt 2
MangoMan Oct 2019
If I were to say,
"I am not okay,"
Everything would become too real,
Although maybe I'd be able to feel.
Communication series Part 2.
I guess it's hard to admit that you're not doing okay but, that's okay. Communicate the way you do and the ones who matte shall stick around.

I hope you enjoyed. :)

Spring in one's step.
MangoMan Oct 2019
Spring clouds
Bring a fresh start,
A rebirth.
As a spring baby I believe that spring is a time to start afresh; shed the ones who don't add value anymore and add value to the ones who weren't shed.

i hope you enjoy.
btw stop and smell the roses.

Goodbye?
MangoMan Jul 2019
I tell people, "I'm okay."
As a coping mechanism.
As a way to push people away.

I find more comfort in strangers

MangoMan Jul 2019
People come to me,
Broken,
Filled with insecurities
And once I show you the Queen who's meant to be,
You throw me aside,
For another brother,
Who will never appreciate what I've seen,
But I continue,
Along my journey,
To My Queen,
Who will appreciate Me

I just wanted to feel your lips pressed against mine,
But instead,
You drove a knife through my heart
And walked away with a smile.

I used to think us train tracks.
side by side,
you and me,

Until I realised,
We,
Were crossroads.
Sometimes, some people aren't meant to be there forever...

I do not wish bad upon anyone,
But rather for a life to hit them,
Like a brick,
Thrown from space,
By Hulk,
On steroids.

For that is the best thing that you could ever wish upon a person.

why do you write so much poetry about love?

it's the only emotion i understand.
random late night thought processes/ conversations with people i've never met
MangoMan Feb 2019
The moon caught the sea kissing the sky,
The affair not at night
But their love bright
And as the moon watched their raging love
Swell,
Crash,
Break,
He watched
His lover,
In the embrace of another.
2/ i still don't know how many for my "Elemental Series."
Your waiter will bring out your order soon but i hope you're enjoying.
MangoMan Feb 2019
The moon kissed the sea one night
Clear.
Air crisp and cool.
Their moment short.
Their symphony sweet.
And all was right with the world,
A moment of silence.
Still.
Stretched over a thousand lifetimes
But as their time came to an end,
The sea began to swell
Crash
And break
Not because their moment was over
But for a lover she knew she’d
Never
See
Again.
1/ as many as needed for my "Elemental Series." Enjoy.

MangoMan Feb 2019
The men of this world
Have broken,
Beaten,
Shattered,
Women in our time.
But from the ashes
And the shattered souls left behind,
A new man will arise
To treat women right
To show the old man the light.
there are good guys out there...

This.
Right here.
is a snapshot of my soul
at different points within space and time

This, right here.
Is my being.
Splattered across…
Pixels,
Flashes,
Papers,
Me.

This right here.
This is me.

An unapologetic being.

Not afraid of,
Proclaiming to the world,
That,
Simply put.

This is me

Their symphony,
Simple.
Two butterflies dancing in the wind.
Getting close,
Never touching.
Their distance
too near,
Their music
too short,
Their
Song
Over.
you are a butterfly. you shift and grow into something more beautiful than you were. a flap of your wing can cause eruptions on the other side of the world. so fly wise. fly free.
you beautiful butterfly. :)

MangoMan Nov 2018
I am an open book
For those who like to read
But because I am free
I can quite easy bleed
And with my tough skin laid flat
You again rip out my heart
And once more
An open book
With no parts.

heart paradox - time break

There's a version of us that's together,
And the love I feel now Is the overflow from theirs...
I still love you... But it's not me, who loves you.
