The end

God will not destroy the world
We'll destroy it long before he arrives

Girl by the Lake
Deon Mar 2015
We sat, we talked, we sang in rhymes
Then listened to the girl by the lake
All night long she’ll talk and chime
About the man on the moon

He’s tall, he's short or what you may
He's wild and crazy and loves his time
He dreams of kids and sends them sweets
He listens to your stories when
It’s night here but bright on the moon

The innocence of the night
Pure and bright
Filled with bliss,
The wind dost hiss
It was cold that night as the waters’ kiss

The stars were sparse
In a vat of darkness
I stared with a purse
As the face of the moon
In ripples dispersed

We sat in circles as she told the riddles
Whisht! She whispers
The answer’s calling

Blank and void
My mind was young
Her eyes had lit
But my eyes were little

What’s your name?
Her voice was kind
I stared and smiled
With a vacant expression
Wish I knew I rubbed my eyes

Slow and steady the night crept
Darker and serene
The lights reproached
Down my spine a sharp cold went
I knew I've had the collywobbles
But why I thought?
Oh! My blanket’s been moved
I must've kicked it in my sleep

She smiled and hugged me
Kissed my forehead
If you don’t know your name
I’ll just call you mine
I grinned with comfort
For I loved her so
And all I dreamed of
Was the girl by the lake

Trust
Deon Jan 2016
I think it's kinda funny
I know it's kinda sad
The people who betray me
Are the ones I trust the most

If I did not love you
Deon Nov 2014
If I did not love you
If I didin't care
Then I wont stay up all night
Staring at the sky
Watching angels come and go
praying that you come back right to me

Dreams
Deon Jan 2016
You'll find this hard to believe
I find it hard to say
The dreams in which I die in
Are the best I ever had

Why?
Deon May 2015
Why does no one ever listen
          And those that pretend to do
                   Never truly understand
Maybe it's just best to shut it inside *inner voices*

No Paradise
Deon May 2015
If you went up
Past the moon
Past the sun and the stars
You won't see any paradise
Just darkness
It's void it's dark
With millions of stars
But no paradise

Catch me after midnight
Deon Apr 2018
In the still of the night
My thoughts drift inwards
I let my guards down
So maybe, just maybe
You catch me after midnight
I'll let you in
Share my deepest self
My fears
The part of me
I often hide with humor
At that point
You become a part of my world
See through my eyes
And get to know me
Just long enough
Until the walls go up again
It's just after midnight

Untitled
Deon Apr 2017
Here I am again writing **** down like it'd make me feel better
I look in the mirror and **** i still like what I see
But the dude on the other side
Doesn't seem too happy with what I've become
A lot of things have changed
Not much that I'm particularly proud of
Maybe my best days are past
Maybe I'm a **** after all
Maybe I'm ****** in the head
And the only thing that makes sense is a paradox
Maybe I just need to sleep
Or get hit real hard in the face
It's probably really the end of days
Too late to be a ***** about it now
What if it's okay to feel bad
What if it's okay to ***** up
Maybe I'm just human after all

What about those I've hurt?
Wish I could say sorry enough
I never mean to hurt anyone
Except maybe the one in the mirror

So much has changed
But hey I still have a piece of my soul
I should probably let that bleed out too
Cos yeah it's so much easier to not feel at all

What the hell?! I'm probably overthinking everything
Nothing's as bad as it may seem
Well until your demons come to feed

What does it matter anyway
All of it
It's all just a joke
Not a very funny one though
I'm gonna climb back up my ***
And not show my face here again
It's not like anyone gives a ****
It's not like I give a ****

I'm no poet
I'm just ****** up
I guess this is what I get for coming back here. Uninspired thoughtless ramblings but hey I never said I was Shakespeare

My Great-grandma's cat
Deon Jul 2019
I think Nana was named after her cat
Mary the cat didn't like me much
She thought she ran the house, I thought so too
I just wouldn't give her that as well
She'd hiss and stare and give me the creeps
One night I dreamed she tied me away
Sent me on a boat to never return
At dawn, she stretched and washed herself
and seemed surprised that I was still there
My great-grandma died at almost a hundred
I believe the cat lived just as long
It might have died or moved away
Or she's immortal just as I thought
She must miss Nana just like I do
They were good friends until the end
Or so I imagine, I really wasn't there
I'm not sure what qualifies as poetry and I'm mostly just putting down what is on my mind for now

Can I write Uninspired
Deon Mar 2018
I keep erasing the words I write
With no life or soul in a poem
Why bother writing one at all

When the dust settled
Deon Mar 2020
A shared tragedy they say
Brings people even closer
In circles they bond and pray
Believing it makes them stronger

And so the world suffered this fate
It struck fear in our hearts and made us sick
We promised to move past our hate
As to save lives, we had to pick

But when the dust did settle
It left us in ruins and wrack
Just like the *** and the kettle
We burned again in greed and hate
But turned to called the other black

— The End —
