Thoughts revoke
only slender folk,
scribbling as hard as can be
though not one see
what it is.
A clouded mind
a smile as kind
as the one you are.
Not one can see
what you could be.
Only I see you
as bright and true
as you can be
Thoughts revoke
Not one slender folk
can clear the vines
in the sight
of you.
Clouded by the minds
only who,
see You.
Antonyme May 2018
Mist entrails
the softly glowing peaks
snow-capped windless bails
down thro' the din
the soft-lit halls proclaim
that shall no one tame
the voice of the mountain hame.
Let fear tremble
and sorrow resemble
The one you have come to see
tho' one shall be
Undisturbed,
Unperturbed
let the sounds softly ring
let your spirits softly sing
let the angels softly wing,

In The Hall
Of The Mountain King.

Brief
Antonyme May 2018
A splatter of paint on a dark canvas
a light in the darkness,
between his eye and the stretch of fabric
lies empty, undying air,
waiting to be filled.
His mind catches the smallest detail,
almost forgotten,
Mind and hand correct fluently
The strokes of his brush lie, dead,
already served their purpose
their short lives ended
His mind calculates the slightest possibility
he stops short, thoughts cross his path
filling the air between,
he feels his piece,
alive again.
He continues on,
a smile flickering across his face
crinkled eyes softly gleaming,
Repeating.
The softest glance
reapplying their technique
Again.

Gone
Antonyme May 2018
You are gone,
leaving one million possibilities
though one chosen
rising in the desolate sky
the smallest light in the darkness,
I see you through the din
your light, though small
shines as steady as can be,
the blink of the eye reveals
You are gone,
Flying high on weightless wings
to chase the winds through sunlit skies
your worthy machine still softly sings
through the boundless halls of air,
The wind calling out clear
You are where the sky meets the earth,
slowly fading into the horizon.
...
Your note still left in our hearts
A memorial to my Uncle Roy who passed into the light
Please leave a prayer for him

The Call of the Mocking Jay
Antonyme Apr 2018
Wings fluttering as eyelashes
black on black, death on death
the call of the Mocking Jay
glinting in the starlight
The halls of death adorn
Echoing, abounding
the Call of Death
Reborn
...
Antonyme Apr 2018
Strings spinning with ease
wood calloused and bruised
hands flickering over
flinging memories to the breeze
...
Gray hair flying
blue eyes lying,
though nothing disturbs her
her loom still spurs
...
As old as time
she flows with the dawn
the machine creaks in protest
she moves steadily on
...
Weaving the fabric of life
though she does not know it
cutting away the strife
she pulls with lasting wit
...
Her eyes shining
machine wining
she slowly fades away
welcome the newfound day
...
Her loom still bear
living without a care
still creaking its unfound tune
Though still spinning out dreams
to join the streams
of life
...
Her smile still wanders
through the clouds

Woodwind Choir
Antonyme Apr 2018
Through the forest hush
I swiftly travel
to the ocean brush
sounds unravel
Upon the lonely, unbroken trees
I pause and listen
to the soft sound of the undying breeze
wafting over the ocean to
join the stars in the sky
sweetly singing over the din,
The waves ringing out an unbroken tone
as the trees fall in,
my heart stops in wonder
their song,
sounding into the night.
Whenever in nature

Please give opinion
Much appreciated! ;)

Would it make a difference?

There are seven billion people in the world
Would you **** one?

Were you happy?
The second,

Did you make others happy?

I Will Wait
Antonyme Apr 2018
Someday, I will be gone,
frolicking within the bonds of heaven,
But, I tell you, I will wait,
Where the sky meets the earth,
I will meet you
Where the sidewalk ends,
we will begin,
Where the sun sets,
I will be there,
holding the door of heaven
open for you
For I am lost and shall be found
As I shall not see the face
of God before you do,
For I will be with you,
one day.

I Will Be Waiting,
For You

Mirror
Antonyme Apr 2018
As I look in the mirror,

your twinkling eyes,
your luscious hair,
your golden heart
As I look in the mirror,
I see,
You

But a Haze
Antonyme Apr 2018
Sitting, watching, waiting,
the waves roll by
But a haze in the sky,
bags like jellyfish, patches like whales,
accumulating, discombobulating,
But a haze in the sky,
choking, killing,
maiming the sea,
slaughtering by the dozens,
But a haze in the sky,
simple to do,
hard to fix,
but a mere crew
could do the tricks,
But a haze in the sky,
Something, I fear,
could **** the earth,
the tumbling mirth,
and all that is here,
Something, I fear,

Alas,
But a haze in the sky

The Sea
Antonyme Apr 2018
Falling, the water envelopes me,
I am in the middle of all,
silence, darkness,
life, death,
warm, cold,
waves crashing against,
eroding, washing away,
slowly but surely.
the tides, like marionettes of the moon
endlessly flowing,
rising up to fill,
draining away to empty.
Waves like an army,
conquering all,
I am standing on a beach
watching the waves
to never cease
the windswept caves
the hole-ridden rocks,
created by destruction
calm, chaos,
there is no difference but,
the Sea

Crying
Antonyme Apr 2018
Tears flowing
down my face,
dripping through
the cracks,
seeping down the drains.
The puddles I step in,
the rain on my back,
the lightning that strikes.
Water collecting in the gutters,
pooling in the streets,
drowning the sewers,
sinking deep into the earth,
cooling my core.
All in all, resetting,

Starting,
Again

Glow
Antonyme Apr 2018
Summer breezes
through the calm
crowded streets
the setting sun

I am the lights that illuminate
the still water
the gleaming frescos
like precious jewels

the artist painting madly
capturing the calm scene
through his chaotic eyes

smells of fresh bread
hooking tourists by the noses
dashing into the shops

cobblestone ally
soft lamp light
luring, calling,
to the worthy passerby

Everyone is gone.

the moon scouring
the street with the stars
not a mortal to be seen
though no one is there,
their pleasure still lingers,
sweetly calling into the night

Masks
Antonyme Apr 2018
As though every day it is a ball,
you are the most exquisite,
your luscious curls shine
black in the moonlight,
your pure skin glowing,
your heart of gold.
Though you look this way,
I see you,
Your scared, dilated eyes,
your face, never to smile again,
your lips radiating lies,
spreading like air into space,
penetrating your heart.
The truth lies forgotten,
a paper in the wind.

Dropped only
by You
lies can blind even the lier from the truth.

For You
Antonyme Apr 2018
When the stars fall down from
the sky, I am left standing, holding
onto the only piece of hope that is you,
I am falling for everything
Gaining nothing,
all, in part,
For You

I give my heart,
my soul,
my life,
You have blinded me like
the firey column that
you are, entrancing my senses,
numbing the pain,
for that,
everything.

Everything,
For You
Love blinds.
Though, It takes away the pain

Can't Stop
Antonyme Apr 2018
I can't stop thinking about you,
your eyes dictated my every move
your face plastered against the moon
trying to forget you,
failing,
you're taking over,
gently gripping my mind,
rebuilding my heart,
clouding my vision,
poisoning my veins,
walking through me.
Your name is burned into my thoughts,
Your voice calls to me,
Forgetting everything
but,

You

To Write
Antonyme Apr 2018
My hand a knife as I cut vivid inscriptions in my mind,
Blood rain falls at my touch, anchoring me to my thoughts,
I am controlling the madness of my broken heart as it pumps
ink out of the pen, my scrawling hand dripping, dancing like the devil.
The gift of eternity with my thoughts in a single second
The moon as my friend,
Me as my company.

Always lonely,
Never alone

Nature
Antonyme Apr 2018
Eyes like

hair like raging rivers,
skin as pure as starlight,

The rainforests, she touches,
the oceans, she dives,
the prairies, she runs
the rivers, she flows

Though she is always there,
people forget.

I do not

Standing in a room

Seeing the world in a new dimention
Panicking through unfamiliar eyes
Arresting my grip
I am there

the moon drifting each and every night.
Soon I am gone, everything is gone,
The Moon moves steadily on

Apart
Antonyme Mar 2018
My mind was lost long ago
My soul was ripped from my body
My heart fails to beat
I can change it
But,
I do not want to

Like a shadow from its body, I drift
Like a rotting tree, dead
Like a cold winter breeze, unwanted
Clinging on to a lengthening rope
Fading away into the night

Life fails me
Death fails me
I am in between

I am nothing but a mere shell of myself
I am nothing.

I am Apart
