Little tree, burning bright
cannot give up without a fight
riding the wave into the night
Little tree

Little tree, grown so big
now yielding tiny figs
shedding its worthless twigs
Little tree

Little tree, ending life
good to live without strife
going to the afterlife
Little tree

New little tree opens its eyes
to show its quiet surprise
turns its face to the skies,
seeing its father's guise
Little tree
Life is precious

Is winning really the only option?
Happiness the only outcome?
Who dictates us
in the conscience
of our own
desolate
minds
Just wondering
And if your mind works backwards
from forwards
Why is that not normal?

Love is giving
As a river
it rages through
every being
to thrive in
the soul,
bathing the
essence of
Life

Either Love or Hate
Though
choose wisely

you're going to die anyway

with either a smile or scowl
though
both end indefinitely

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 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.

Life, like a boat
is going down someday.
When that day comes
I want to be the captain.
Antonyme Apr 2018
As I look in the mirror,
I see myself,
My pale eyes,
my bare emotions,
my scarred soul
though, when I am with you,
your twinkling eyes,
your luscious hair,
your golden heart
As I look in the mirror,
I see,
You

Eyes like
sparkling emeralds,
hair like raging rivers,
skin as pure as starlight,
thoughts as bright as the sun,
heart like molten gold.
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

My
hopes and
dreams float on
the calm surface,
weighing me down,
You have left;
my buoyancy,
my ribs,
my gunwales,
my oars.


Leaving me to the rough
waters of life.

3 AM
Cats outside my door
clawing at the floor
ears have tore
what a chore!

Hearing sparks
wish to walk in five parks
mouth shot remarks
all through the night

..

Wish my mother
would give the same attention
;p
I'm weird

Sometimes
silence says more
than empty words
because
the golden ratio,
2 ears,

Only dreams dig up your rawest emotions from the bottom of your heart, connecting them with reality to thrum the strings of emotion in your life, creating the most beautiful songs ever, only ever heard by you
Only Dreams lead you to be truly free, to be truly happy, to be truly...

To **** a bug would be to take a life
There are over one trillion bugs in the world
Would it make a difference?

There are seven billion people in the world
Would you **** one?
Would it make a difference?

The wheel in the sky keeps turning
pushing the silver scented satellite
ripe for the picking
though soft,
peach fuzz
adorns the highest peak
and flows in silver
drops of sunlight
down into its
slowly beating heart
tucked away
in the stardust
of the night's
blooming garden
of light

I brought
My winter hat
On a summer day.
From my Friend
Thank you for giving this poem to me
Simplicity is everything.

Trailing across

small words wrapped
in love
falling into the drop boxes

You are not perfect because there is nothing wrong with you
You are perfect because I see past your imperfections
Perfect imperfections
Imperfect Perfections
Same but different
In their own ways

Once, a man had a dream
telling him

if you look, you shall find

Wrapping this message in
hopes and dreams, he laid it beside his heart
Leaving all things behind;
love...
family...
children...
to search of his calling

His home a nook
his friend a book
his heart he took
and threw it away

Days turned to weeks
...
weeks turned to months
...
months turned to years
...
though,
he sat,
looking weary eyes
to the horizon

A young man turned old
wishing for his dream to come true
without his heart

Slowly fading away;

Not realizing he was looking
in the wrong place

...

His heart still beating
beside the road
Look into your heart
and you will find.

Black and white
still moments captured
in a different time
only once passed.
Millions lying

Many more

Poetic Minds
Draw blinds
to block out what they need most

Though most
Tend to boast
their priceless collection of light bulbs

When in the afterlife,
the gods will ask you
two simple questions.
The first,

Were you happy?
The second,

Did you make others happy?


Choose Wisely.

The mist fills my eyes
amid soft surprise

Fading in my mind
running out of time

help

Its gone,
all gone

life goes on

my eyes are pools
my brain, a spring

yet,
no fish swim

I drift among the stars

why... me?

Nothing is left

The water is gone

I am stripped of everything
bare to the bone
my soul lies
in a malevolent sea
burning with hope and love
in the shadow
of darkness
my heart burns bright before it hits me
forcing me under
my light cannot be seen.
and all hope is washed away

though, as the oceans calm

to the surface,

still burning;



I Rise.
If you only believe in what you can see
you would never make it through the night.
Believe, and you shall see.

Scales
like dragon's
fake,
powerful
balancing reality
never truly tipping to either
side
until the end
final or repetitive
(that's still being decided)
waiting for the nonexistent support to crumble
to stay destroyed
to rise again
Ending Forever
or
Rising
Again
Everything Ends
though
Some start again

Summer
Dancing, drafting
Prancing, wafting

Fall
Tumbling, blowing
rumbling, going

Shivering, withering
quivering, blithering

hieghtening, knowing

We are all
bound to one tree
to be spread
as seeds
are tossed into the breeze,
we are all strangers
to one another
though,
somehow,
we are
One

Clouding my heart
to falsely love

You.
Loving for all the wrong reasons
Antonyme Feb 2019
The lights go by,
glittering fireflies,
sparse friendships found

on streets afflicted by a cracked mirror
only seen by me

Lights flicker in flowing windows,
barriers restricting everything
but light,

hollow light,

no love


in the barren streets,

Thinking
of You

Essence below which I lay
on slowly drifting clouds
of stardust, waiting in hope
for my eclipse to pass me by
as you twinkle far above
plastered on my celestial ceiling,
wanting each and every night
to last forever...
Drifting through the cosmos

As everything ends,
Something begins.
Easy to remember,
Hard to remind.
Everything is a cycle,
wait long enough,
and you will pass again

Deep in the
pits of the earth
lies a cage
Expanding and contracting with
time, it holds your deepest darkest ambitions
yearning to be free
to poison the hearts of many,
break the souls of all
darkness and life combined
thriving
in the
shadows
of life

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

Each and every
morning, the lamplighter
lights the lanterns
of our hearts,
casting shadows that
penetrate our souls,
awakening our emotions.
And, each and

eyes are opened

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

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

A trigger, gleaming in the black light
Pulled, for the sake of many,
though, not for all
Something clicked inside,
lost in the fire of arms
A sound of silence.
Explosions rock the field
my eyes lock with the hunt,
my bullet flying straight and true
nothing touches as it flies,
His eyes flit to mine,
blood drenched shirt;
shining scarlet.

He falls.

His thoughts cutting a deep trench in my mind
children...family...love.....
all lost in the sound of silence
His body lies forgotten
lingering like the falling smoke
to be brushed away to the sky

My gun still cocked,
safety still down.
A needle, trailing a thread
stringing up the souls of the dead.
Never forgotten

The sound of silence

Ringing,
through the sky
Dedicated to the veterans who served and who fell.
May their souls rest in peace
Antonyme May 2018
A mirror of water filling a void
framed by the weeds of cleanliness
to the soft wind blowing
green on green on green
though bypassed by the sparkling
eyes of a newcomer,
the wisk of grey air reveals;
the Sound of Water

Our secrets locked away
Inside our tiny minds they sway
feeding our hearts with emotion
they swell like the deepest ocean
overcoming our pain, killing our sadness,
freeing our creativity, freeing our soul, freeing...

Ourselves

Time is endless
As a flower
in the wind, it
sends its seeds through
the senseless halls
of space to bud
and grow in the
endless expanse
of heaven
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

Physically, I am there
Mentally, I am not
Standing in a room
fluid motion around
me, I do not recognize it.
I am with my thoughts now
nothing can shake me
I am floating on the ground
Realizing that I cannot realize
Seeing the world in a new dimention
Panicking through unfamiliar eyes
Arresting my grip
I am there
though
I am not
