Tattoo your mind
Nathan Sep 21
It's funny isn't it
Someone tattoos your mind from time to time
That buzzing itch of a fleeting memory
That flash bulb photograph of their smile
That split second recall of their voice
Do they think of you
Do you tattoo there mind
Or are you a discarded polaroid
A memory once had

What are you feeling?
Nathan Apr 2022
thinking alouD can be dangerous
it can causE anger and strife
but i'd rather be honest to People
than tReat them like fool's
if you ask what I'm fEeling
the anSwer remains the same
you juSt have to find it
although hIdden through words
my expressiOn says it all
is it obvious Now

From her perspective
Nathan Oct 2021
Oh how he towers over her
Rushing desire and adrenaline
As he makes her kneel at his feet
Lust tastes sweeter from this angle

Words
Nathan Feb 2021
Words.
I used to write them daily
My pen filled with ink
It found the darkness inspiring
My loveless life shown through prose

But now I'm apathetic of feeling
My once ink filled pen
No longer paints poems of pain
It doesn't sing the song of serenity
The ink has run dry
I'm all out of......

Etched Memories
Nathan Oct 2020
What breaks first the heart or the mind. Or is it the combination of the both that lead you blind.

'cause when you love and lose it cuts deep. All that's left is memories of pain etched for you to keep.

One step
Nathan Oct 2020
Silence followed by rumbles
An eerie haunting hum disturbs rock
Droning sound surrounds all
Like a ship coming into land
One long blasting note
Turning into a cacophony of noise
Palpations, dry mouth and sweat
Adorn the man who just left home
With anxiety in his backpack
I wrote this to show my experience in dealing with Social anxiety. It's like this every day I leave the house and although you may not see it. It's very real.

Black tar streets
Nathan Oct 2020
Autumnal leaves crunch underfoot
Amidst a thick fog blanket
Lay black tar streets
Adorned by cigarette butts
Discarded masks
As well as alcoholic cans
This once bustling city
That shone with life
Is now a ghost town
Remenants of itself  
Left behind in a museum
Of it's downfall
First poem I wrote in over a year. Its been a hard one and I've never been stimulated to do so till I saw this sight.

Love Is A Game To You
Nathan Sep 2019
Take the ten thousand fragments
Of this heart you stomped on so cruely
To win your popularity contest

Avoiding obvious feelings
Of which you proclaimed
Sweep them under the rug
This heart breaks no more
It will never be broken
It will never be fixed

Love is nothing but misery to me
Yet love is a game to you

A stream of consciousness
Nathan Jul 2019
Crying
For no reason again
Questioning
Why am I even here
Darkness
It's 4:40am right now
Thoughts

Alight
Nathan Jul 2019
With the last match in my box
I'll set myself alight
So you may feel the warmth

One solemn tear doesn't even last
As it's vaporised by the heat
Of this lonely broken heart

It feels alien
Nathan Mar 2019
I've not picked up the pen in a while
It feels alien to the touch
Former flowing words
Now barely drip

This paper so cold to the touch
Which used to be so warm
My canvas of former dreams
Now stares back like a nightmare
Writersblock creative frustration

Fourth
Nathan Jan 2019
The cruel irony of second place
Not finishing first
Having to look up at them
The cruel irony of finishing fourth
You don't even make the podium
Just bask in the cesspool of failure
With everyone else

Music
Nathan Dec 2018
Music is my mindset
So If I'm seeking space
You'll hear it through harsh vocals
If I seek lust and desire
Harmonious sultry tones surround me
I'll be lost in the music of your body
When I seek happiness
Oct 2018 · 567
Can you?
Nathan Oct 2018
I want to know what it feels like
To be loved unconditionally
For all I seem to feel
Is the sour taste of the unrequited
Can you love me?

Run
Nathan Sep 2018
Run
Dropped like a stone
His glass heart shattered
Dropped like a stone
His smile faded from existence
He saw the rainclouds closing
So...He...Ran

They caught him quickly
Heavy on his back
His clothes became sodden
He believed he'd never make it
But after years of rainclouds
  The sun crept through
So...He...Ran

What now you ask
He's still running for the sun
Chasing it with open arms
And although his hearts in a million pieces

He

Will

Assimilation
Nathan Sep 2018
I'm not okay
Overcrowded in my mind
But I finally can say
I know I'm not okay

I debated being a martyr
Believed I wasn't strong
But I'm surviving
I've been fighting
Without realising
I know I'm not okay

Yet...
There's comfort in the anarchy

Not until

A.M
Nathan Sep 2018
A.M
Her ink adorns the page
Artistic ink adorns her skin
Visceral words, beautiful soul
No words to describe her eloquence
That haven't been used before.

Due to her I'm inspired again
From the beauty of the poetess
Words, mind, soul, look.
A.M
She's got it all.

Shadows
Nathan Sep 2018
You're shouting at shadows
Expecting witty response
When the only shadow following you
Is the one of your former self.

The one who loves you like I did
The one yet to see the real you
The one who broke my heart

Immaturity

I've said it once and I'll say it a million times.

Immaturity is the key too eternal youth

Fragility
Nathan Aug 2018
Fragility of the glass heart that shatters into pieces, to be mended one day, by the owner itself. Then trusted with in the hands of another.

Hell (11 word)

But I'm living in Hell
Yet another terror attack in England today. When will it stop.

Lipstick

So beautiful those ruby red lips
They leave kiss stains on your mind

Wandering hands
Nathan Jul 2018
Seductive wayward hands
Like silk, soft to the touch
Travel down her lustrous skin
Southbound too their destination
Lips, neck combine in passion
Warm breath on the neck
Turns into sultry slow kisses
She grips his hair tightly
Her soft moans reverberate in his ear
As his fingers glisten with her lust

Swan theory
Nathan Jul 2018
Perception is wonderful isn't it.
Hides so many unfavorable things.
Makes the world seem calm
When in fact it's utter chaos.

Carve the human canvas
Nathan Jul 2018
I carved a line into my skin tonight
Crimson descends down my leg
This isn't masochism
Because I don't feel pain
I feel relief
I breathe again

Time slows still
Nathan Jul 2018
In a time where I feel pain
Time slows still
I'm breaking

Minds grown numb and ache again
Time slows still
I'm breaking

Unrequited love, what a shame
Time slows still
I'm breaking

You fell for that guy who I disdain
Times ran out
I'm broken

If they saw the real you
Nathan Jul 2018
They see your words as profound
I see right through them.
They see your mind as wonderful
I see it for it's truth
Manipulative
Spiteful

Your abhorrent observation
On how death is just some joke to you
I know I won't be making it to heaven
But you have a special place in hell

Fuschia
Nathan May 2018
In bloom again, there vibrant colors parade in the sunshine. Pendulous teardrops sway in the wind, colour vibrant. Peacefully amongst the bluebells these plants lie. They catch my eye from a mile away. Oh how beautiful.
May 2018 · 267
I'm furious
Nathan May 2018
Invading my mind
My composure is cracking

Frustrated, the urges rise
Underneath the skin my blood boils
Relenting to the feeling within
I'm shaking, someone hold me down
Oh how did I forgot this feeling
Unstable, I'm about to explode
Shelter me from myself.
May 2018 · 282
Oxygen
Nathan May 2018
My oxygen mask is isolation
Save me from this desolation
Oh so help me someone
From the villain that is myself.

Thoughts of the night
Nathan Apr 2018
Your hot breath on my skin,
Your arm lovingly around my waist,
Long legs wrapped around mine.

Thighs numb, ruby red buttocks and a big cheesy grin adorns your face.

Thoughts of the night reverberating through your mind.

Pause for reflection.
Breathe in anticipation.
Step out amongst the stars
No longer fear the darkness.

X

X
You're another name in the archive filed under Creative, articulate and attractive. Your the first one that made it too the true love folder.

Maybe that's not what you want to hear, what you desire. But it's the truth. You're the one who invaded my black heart.

Frozen in admiration.
I thought it was lust at first
But no, not even close.
You invaded my mind
I'll gladly surrender
It's better than thoughts of death

Troubadour
Nathan Feb 2018
A lone troubadour
Hums his lonely composition
He stares at his reflection
Forged from the puddle at his feet

His humming falls silent
The puddle disturbed by a single tear
This lone troubadours pen
Has ran dry

Breathe slowly.

Pleasure by intoxication
Nathan Jan 2018
Her fingers wander south
Enhanced pleasure by her intoxication
Her thoughts of the lonely poet
His words resonate in her minds eye
Biting her lip till her toes curl
She too sits alone, cuddles her pillow
Too afraid too mention such feelings
He sits alone... craving to be desired By the woman who fingers wander
Both lonely...Oh if only

Lonely poet
Nathan Jan 2018
Under the sheets of the double bed
Lies the lonely poet, only a pillow too hold
The exasperated sigh, followed by a single tear
This will be a night like many others.
Cold like winter

Birdsong (haiku)
Nathan Dec 2017
Birdsong in the air
Not as pleasant as rainfall
Which reduces stress
I seem to always get headaches from hearing too much birdsong, whereas rain completely calms me down.

Caught in the crossfire
Nathan Dec 2017
How quick to assume
That the bullet I shot was aimed for you Well my dear
Don't step in front of a firefight
You may just get caught in the crossfire

Backstabber
Nathan Dec 2017
Trying to show empathy
After stabbing someone in the back
Is like telling a man with no legs to walk up and down the road
Inexcusable and impossible for the other person too forget

Angel
Nathan Dec 2017
If heaven is real, that's where you are
I hope you're enjoying the hospitality
An angel now with beautiful wings
Please watch over us
We need you...I need you
Enjoy the peace
I love you
I miss you
R.I.P darling
I was just informed of a friends passing after hours of tears this is all I could muster I hope I did you proud darling

Pain

Just remember
The pain you feel now
Is nothing to what you once caused me
The moment you took that knife out
To plunge it into my heart

This pixelated pen
Shares my real world thoughts
The darkness, The light
The joy and fright

This pixelated pen
Has created many friendships
The wonderful, the kind
The creative and ones with a beautiful mind

This pixelated pen
Saved my life tonight
By writing this
It took away the darkness
It provided the light


It brought me joy
It got rid of my fright
I was able to talk too that friend that's so kind
The one whose creative with a beautiful mind
