Whispers of the Old Gods
Cade Apr 2018
the woods are a frighteningly beautiful place,
strong and ancient, they either protect you with their grace,
or become your enemy and swallow you forever,
give them the respect they deserve,
worry not for the children
for they are safe within their confines,
worry for your own soul,
as they have yet to deem you worthy,

Shaed
Cade Nov 2017
you sit next to me, warmth radiating off your posed form,
giving me a sense of mars, alien and cold, but warm on the inside,
you fill me with feeling, a longing for a fishtown I’ve never known,
where it is grey and green and iridescent, and calm,
and you give me long conversations, in a car when it’s raining,
philosophizing with our minds, until we move to the back, and use our bodies,
and you are hard to predict, being an ever shifting scape of thoughts,
flipping feelings like a coin, full of potential, wild and unrestricted,
I wouldn’t change you from the fluid form you currently possess,
moving like water, graceful, and dangerous,
and when you ***** up your face, I use the moment,
to watch you freely, feeling lucky

All I’ve ever wanted, is to be the best version of myself,
and no matter how hard I try,
recently,
I haven’t been able to find her,
but in you,
in you I see her,
shining,
happy,
sometimes sad,
but supported,
despite my objections,
she is loved.

An Association
Cade Nov 2016
of warm blankets,
under which limbs are tangled,
and skin is touching skin,
as we try to exchange words,
using only our bodies,


and bright screens,
filled with adventure,
and competition,
setting our minds to focus,
even though,
I am thinking of you,


and bright blue screens,
waiting patiently for a time,
yet to come,


and quick moves,
projected strategy,
on a blank wall,
a canvas of competition,
shedding light on our warring minds,


and a smooth talking voice,
flowing like silk,
from a smirking mouth,
that does unspeakable things to me,


and a face,
like a sinners,
beautiful and dark,
hiding things,
I can only guess,


and cool nights,
with softly shining moonlight,
goading me outside,
so I can remember who I am,


and a lithe body,
pressed up against my stocky form,
sporting a somehow curvaceous,
smile,

Warmth
Cade May 2016
you warm me to the bone,
and then there is fire in my veins,
and it’s never enough,
I’m left with a raging need,
boiling and bubbling,
I want more,
more heat,
more warmth,
more life,
-----
pooling warmth,
nimble fingers,
a heat in my heart,
my mouth,
a pulling feeling,
a savage need,
touch me.

Don't Push Away
Cade Apr 2016
i can see the fight within you,
it tears you apart,
are you a monster, you ask?
will you allow yourself to be a monster?
your hands they can create,
but it is much easier to destroy,

i have been where you have been,
pushing feeling, down
                                     down
                                               down
but please hear me out,
they will only come bubbling back with a vengeance
you try to shield yourself,
from the hurt,
but you’re only locking yourself away,
from all you could know,

You are not a Monster
Cade Apr 2016
you say you don’t feel,
you say you don’t care,
but I know once you get attached,
you love fiercely and loyally,
that you won’t let anyone hurt those you love,
I know that’d you tear the world apart for us,
and even if I object to being saved,
i know you’d try

Circling
Cade Dec 2015
we watch each other,
with strangely animal eyes,
circling, waiting tense,

a muscle twitches,
he bares his fangs, viciously
he moves, I match

we circle in sync,
preparing for a death dance,
ready to tear flesh,

it vibrates on my skin,
a tension so palpable,
my heart nearly stops,

Fire in my Bones
Cade Dec 2015
the sharpness of the air burned in my lungs,
it moved across my skin,
washing away old sin,

i could still feel the heat in my bones,
reminding me of the dancing  flames,
and the dark  shadows,
and the howling  screams of the teens,

deep, deep within me,
lies a primal  RAGE,
it is most of what I know,
of what i feel,
I cannot extinguish it,
Just push it
DOWN
DOWN
DOWN
deeper into my soul,
its fire  RAGES,
forever,



i am alive,
blazing with RIGHTEOUS FEELINGS,
always,



I was born for the apocalypse,
my rage carved out of thick, hard, stone,
every nerve like a live wire, i sparked,
my instincts knew where to take me,
to danger, to life,

…...but
….. where am i?
there is no apocalypse here,
not for me,

not yet.

Wingtips press against the soil,
Earthen, Brown,
the power of the Earth,

Dancing,
a war of dancing,

soft movements,

breaking bone,
a chaotic harmony,
spattered with blood,

In the soft forest,
Dark eyes watch curiously,
Gleaming, hinting life,

Thin tendrils of vine,
reach out, calling me to them,
to join with nature,
---
glowing eyes searched mine,
for any hint of malice,
but I just passed by,
---
little doe steps near,
with a curious intent,
but Mom calls her back,

eyes free of guilt stare,
judging our horrid actions,
questioning our humanity,

plays lightly against warm skin,
whispering of love,

Angelix
Cade Jan 2015
My wings, they tell me,
Open up, protect,
save them,

as gunfire riddles them, they scream,
save them, save them,
and i listen,
because they are me,

as feathers fall, on a setting sun,
they scream, they scream,
She screams, she screams,
No!, a single shout,
too late, too late,


i am screaming, as i die,
save them, save them,
save them from themselves,

i hit the ground,
the screams stop,
i have saved them, I have saved them,
Emotional  ramblings. Looks like I'm getting back into poetry, so expect more. Completely unedited and written in like 5 minutes, enjoy.

Place
Cade Jul 2014
My place is change,
is sacrifice,
my place is a deadly fight,
and I know it

It is something deep,
from within my soul,
that whispers look,
look and be angry,
that says fight it,
with every fiber
of your being,
fight it,
even if it kills you,
My local library has a literary magazine, and this year its theme is place, so I've been writing some poetry about place in the hope that I can submit it. Tell me what you think.

Cracks
Cade May 2014
My anger is rising,
I have to do something,
sitting here is killing me,
slowly eating away at me,
what can I do?

I am old enough to think,
but not to have a voice,

_

there is so much wrong,
wrong, wrong, where to start?
the hatred, the pain,
openly shared, kept hidden away,

a sweet escape,
is not enough,
I was born to fight,
I have to,
I was born to love and live,
but both are slowly being drained from me,
taken by those, who came before,
those who are
content to sit,
content to idle,
content to leave me with worse than nothing,
they are a people of peace,
they are blind

Ramblings (Reality)
Cade May 2014
I can feel the world,
stripping itself apart,
the soft paper mache of it's sanity,
being pulled apart to show,
the truth of this harsh world,


the generation before us,
tells us how easy we have it,
you, you didn't have wars,
hanging over your head, like dead weight,
you didn't have, the tripled problems,
why, why, did you leave this for me?


All I feel is horror,
a constant horror,
of what we can do,
of what we are capable of,


history is repeating itself,
over and over, we repeat,
the exact same mistakes,

no one sees, at least,
no one who has power,
they are too preoccupied,
with the petty worlds that they,
occupy,

Torn
Cade May 2014
You are the sweet nectar,
holding my fragile world together,

but I feel empty,
gone is the anger,
when I'm with you,
I can forget,

but I must not,
I must watch fate,
take hold of my world,

tearing it apart.

Hominis

I can feel the world's good graces,
slowly peeling away,
leaving me trembling,
at the sight of our horrors,

How could a people,
so compassionate,
destroy so much,
without a thought,

we humans are all different,
striving to fit in,
into a society, a cage,
of our own construct,

so very similar,
yet we all seem separate,
only those with love,
seem to understand,

humans, such strange creatures,
lovable, hate-able, broken,
from the the start,
the most interesting creatures,

refusing to let us forget,

Humanity, what we call ourselves,

but they still lurk, in the back of our minds,
monsters, we call them, when they are really human,

Merciless Escape

I keep moving, and sprinting,
I use anything that will give me speed,
oh this could be the end,
my breath is heavy,
the air is crowded with my fear,
A wall,
I climb, all the way,
glass, an escape,
they are here,
I hear them behind me,
I turn and look,
pain, sudden, in my ankle,
a knife protrudes,
I still cling,
cling to the wall, to life,
another knife, I must hurry,
glass breaking, freedom,
I desperately shove through,
I am free,
I am alive,
I have made it,
Basically a part two to the poem Merciless.

they are, completely merciless,
there will be no prisoners, this time,
only a painful hacking away of my life,
I taste true fear, bitter and deadly,
I move back, I run,
I run with all my heart,
with all my soul,
with all of my terrified being,
away from those monsters,
away from my demise,
Lovely Dreams.

Their eyes are laden with a sea of sadness,
Sorrowful, and old,

Their hair the brown of sweet chocolate,
With a personality alike,

They are strong, They have made it,
I will make sure they stay,

I will take that sadness,
That pain,
Even if I have to bear it,
They do not deserve it,

Why the world must do this,
I do not know,
But I will protect them,
They will protect me,
And we will weather the storm together,
No matter how hard the gale gets.

Burning through me,

To fail,

I'm sorry,
So sorry,

My heart stutters,
The is not what I wanted,

I can't stop it,

My limbs lay useless,
I won't be a monster,

I want to join you,
But cruel fate withholds,

My heart stops,

I love you,

Floating around like snowflakes,
Remnants of death,

A simple word,
Yet so full,
Of feeling,
Despair,
Hope,
The toppling of things,
A new beginning,

Ash,
Grey,  
The perfect in-between,
Tears,
Of sadness,  
Of joy,
The falling of tyrants,
The rising of new hope,
And occasionally,
Love.

settling on my young shoulders,
creating an atrocious burden,

hurried, from anxious adults,
the fear is here with us,
it is real,

we cast furtive glances,
all around us distrust,
who is with us?
we are unsure,

we only have each other,
the adults don’t tell us,
they keep us hidden,
we are hurting ,

some ignore this threat,
sitting in blissful ignorance,
their downfall,
is to come,

who will tell us the truth?
not our guardians,
we must seek it out,
