Look into my eyes
What do you see?
Do you see hate?
You should

Dive into my mind
And find the twisted nature of my dreams
Where my demons have become my friends
Where my nightmares are my favourite fantasies
Yes, pain has become my drug

Come with me
And swim with my dreams of my past
Stained by the wear of time
Listen to the harmony
Of the strum of my woes
Clawing on the fabric of my soul

Do you love the tune you wrote for me?
You will
Another dark one
Ntwari Poetry May 2016
My heart yearns for a glare
In which the glimmer of the stars
Are framed by the cages of our irises
Where the rays of constellations
Are trapped in the void of our eyes
I wish to share my soul with yours

I want our glare
To pierce through the fabric of time
I wish for our eyes to lock before our lips touch
I want to feel your arms wrapped around my neck
As we share the warmth of our embrace
I want our universes to collide
As you press your lips against mine

I wish for you to be mine
"But that's all that ever was
Just another wish"
Ntwari Poetry May 2016
The night is my friend
While the sun sleeps,
I find peace in staring at the stars
A smile slips through my my lips
As my mind wonders off.

The silence of the night, charming my ears,
Allows me to hear the muffled cries
Of the world beyond the horizon
Laced by the stars.
There's something about the night that keeps me caught in its grasp.

For tears that fall
On hollow cheeks
When the weeks feel like years
And the years feel like weeks.

And you sit by a grave
Where the roses grow
But the rose that you seek
Is buried below.

You have my heart
Heavy with sorrow
For the velvet rose
With no tomorrow.
Absolutely over the moon (if a little shocked) to see that this piece made the daily.  Thank you all so much for your comments - I promise to reply to you all individually at some point soon.  It was an extremely emotional, difficult, but ultimately cathartic write. Dedicated to our wee Shane, who we will never forget ***
Ntwari Poetry May 2016
Oh, how I dread the laughs of the ignorant
As "the Bunch" swim in their own stupidity
Shielding themselves from the truth

The truth couldn't shut them up
Nothing could
So, I left them to drown in their shallowness

You would think they would learn
But it's a hopeless case.
And they wonder why I left
Ntwari Poetry May 2016
Today, my spirit died
Life has dumped me
In its symphony of chaos
My brain could no longer cope

I'm tired
I'm tired of masking my misery
With the veil of my smile
I'm tired of hushing the screams of my pain
Through the hymn of my laugh
I'm tired of hiding the glitches of my mind
Through the symbols of my verses

I'm drowning in the storm of my existence
I'm hopelessly reaching for help
But no one is there to grab my hand
Another sad one to add to my collection of pleas for help.
Ntwari Poetry Apr 2016
When silence is no longer golden,
When your ears are in need of a laugh,
Let music do the talking.

From the charm of quiet chimes,
To the melodious screams of passion,
The shadows of emotions from ecstatic poets
Will excite your senses.

Through their tunes,
They paint landscapes.
Through their lyrics,
The play the strings of our hearts.
Through their songs,
We find pieces of ourselves.

Through music,
We find shelter from the world outside.
Yes, I'm in love with music
