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,
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.

The fire rose before me,
a great red death,
It’s statement a finale,
of our time on Earth,

It’s searing heat crackled,
almost drowning out the yells,
the screams of the panic,
and the last attempts of the people,

I know the great death,
when I see it,
I have accepted it,
but I will continue to fight it,
Ash
Cade Apr 2014
Ash
Ash,
A beautiful sight,
A horrific one,
Floating around like snowflakes,
Remnants of death,
And destruction,

That's what I am,
Ash,
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.
This poem is completely out of control. It's one of my earlier poems from a couple years ago.
Cade Apr 2014
Howling power comes at me,
the shock wave of energy quick,
leaving little time to think,
death is imminent,

soon everything around me,
will be gone,
completely destroyed,
by the monster we created,

I don’t know who sent it,
only that in seconds,
I’ll be decimated,
I take a last breath,

there is nothing,
to feel or do,
just time to die,

I feel sorry,
for those we leave behind,
in the dust and rubble,
they will rise burdened,
and survive,
I dreamt about atomic bombs exploding and this resulted.

Dancing,
a war of dancing,
battle,
soft movements,
fast movements,
fleeing death,
preserving beauty,
saving life,
but, also taking it,
fluid movements,
breaking bone,
a chaotic harmony,
spattered with blood,
my home,
Cade Apr 2014
blood-stained battlements stare,

once harsh white,

now, deeply dyed,

with our loss of innocence,

the pain is evident,

the sorrow obvious,

but the halo of hell alight,

forever burning,
Cade May 2014
Chained,
here,

while you suffer,
I am safe,

while you wait,
I can plan

I won't let them,
get us again,

I'll be ready,
You'll be safe,

I'll unshackle you,
and I'll be unchained
Cade May 2014
I'm sorry,
that I do not see,
how far we've come,
but all I see,
is what's been,
given to me.
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,
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
Cade Apr 2014
I can feel the cracks,
growing larger,
shifting in my brain,
slowly draining my sanity,
the darkness rises,
and sometimes,
I don’t fight it,
I let it settle,
directly in my soul,
creating it’s own perch,
it scares me, I like it,
I am good,
I am good,
but evil rests within me,
Cade Apr 2014
Humanity, what we call ourselves,
yet some lack that, specific trait,
you could say, they are almost inhuman,
but not really, they are a core of humans,
they are the darkside, of all of us,
we like to stuff them away, in the dark corners,
but they still lurk, in the back of our minds,
monsters, we call them, when they are really human,
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,
Cade Apr 2016
Enchant me, ensnare me,
(but do not mistake this) I am still wild,
still free,
Cade Apr 2014
the dreary innocence,

of ordinary vitality,

tempts me absolutely,

however, it is not for me

I truly require the bright lights,

the sharp pains,

of the extraordinary,
Cade Apr 2016
i am fire,
bright,
but fast burning,
and you are steel,
strong,
but cold,
when we come in contact,
we make something new,
we both reform,
into something more,
Anyways
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.
Cade Apr 2014
I haven’t felt a real flutter,
in a very long time,
since past mistakes,
silenced my heart,

and left me afraid,
but this feeling,
makes me wild and free,
ready to take risks,
with you,
***** it I'm posting it.
Cade Jan 2016
you are darkness,
or so you like to pretend to be,
i am light,
or so i’d like to be,
but together we are grey,
together we are human,
or human enough,
Cade Apr 2014
You pull so predictably,
at my armored heartstrings,
shattering their strength,
melting them slowly,

one touch, is all it takes,
and I am yours.
*Wiggles Eyebrows*
Cade Apr 2014
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,
Cade Apr 2014
The screams, the sobbing, echoes of people,
hope, defiance,
it rests here,
in the air,
seeping through the soggy ground,
feet stamping,
yelling,
secret thoughts,
souls,
stand testament,
to the horror,
refusing to let us forget,
warning us,
pointing to our future,
Cade Apr 2014
I am a testament to humanity,
we all are, together,
all of us different, yet human,
Gosh looks like I've got a new obsession with humans.
Cade Apr 2014
Sometimes I am unraveling,
slowly coming apart,
at the seams,

Sometimes I am strong,
standing tall,
and acting quickly,

Sometimes I am nice,
helping the others,
being selfless,

Sometimes I am cruel,
hurtful to everyone,
and uncaring,

Sometimes I lose hope,
but that does not,
ever last,
Semi-okay poem
Cade Apr 2016
our colors bleed together,
into a beautiful, beautiful,
grey
It's my favorite color
Cade Apr 2014
A thought,
unseen,
a whisper,
in the night,

A mind,
unused,
a tragedy,
not known,

A heart,
not whole,
a crack,
in the glass,

A soul,
made dull,
by wearing,
during life,
Cade Apr 2014
I look up at my assailants,
my breath stops in my lungs,
their eyes, there is something so wrong,
they are hollow, void of humanity,
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.
Cade Apr 2014
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.
Cade Sep 2015
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,
Cade Sep 2015
the deep blue glistens,
shadowy like my nightmares,
oh it calls to me,
----
Misty eyes shine through,
tepid waters of the blue,
staring, knowing truth
Cade Apr 2014
I pound on the glass,
that is suddenly separating us,
it stays solid, unmoving,
I am screaming,
but my words reach no ears,
the fear, is in the air,
it’s all around me,
suffocating me,
you say,
there's nothing wrong,
you are right here,
but the glass,
it’s encasing me,
help help,
I am yelling,
but still you do not hear,
your face is twisted,
worried,
I can’t reach you,
I can’t tell you,
this feeling of,
utter,
panic
Inspired by Panic Attacks.
Cade Apr 2014
who am I?
Who am I?
what is going on?
I know,
no,
I know.
“panic attack”,
where,
what,
panic,
everywhere,
“calm”
“breathe”
only confusion,
Okay so for clarification the " " parts are the rational part on my mind and everything else is basically how I respond during panic attacks.
Cade Apr 2014
cool ocean blue,
eyes soft yet alert,
watching, floating,
we are opposites,
yet fit, smoothly,
Ehhh. I find it hard writing about him because we are such emotional opposites. Oh well I gave it a shot.
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.
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,

Cade Nov 2017
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.
Cade Apr 2014
your eyes they bore,
straight into my soul,
asking, "please stay safe"
knowing how utterly full,
I am of,
crazy and dangerous and,
world changing ideas,
and the urge they give me,
making me totally,
unable to keep still,
Cade Apr 2014
I hear your screams,
you are calling me,
yelling my name,

I feel the panic,
where are you?
where are you?

everything is crumbling,
around me,
I am helpless,

I see your face,
twisted, hurt,
reaching out to me

a sword slices me,
right through my middle,
slicing my skin,

they have won,
they have taken us,
I am dying,

No, no
it’s too late,
too late.
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
Cade Apr 2014
I only feel in extremes,
all at once,
nothing at all,
no in between,

they are wild,
changing rapidly,
bouncing around,

then, they are silent,
unmoving,
nothing happening,
feeling unhuman,
Cade Apr 2014
I can feel the threat of war,
settling on my young shoulders,
creating an atrocious burden,
that we carry,

we can hear the whispers,
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,
on our own,
Cade Apr 2014
the fire is obvious,
but no one is alarmed
it rages around us,
burning us,
but no one notices,
they stand solid,
unmoving,
I run to each,
yelling, warning,
but no one can hear me,
am I the only one,
who can see the fire,
And feel it’s heat?
Cade Apr 2014
The thrill of the chase
To be chased
To be taken

The madness
It is all a cycle
Always
Never ending
Yet I go on
I don’t know how
Or why
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,

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

tearing it apart.
Cade Apr 2016
two loves,
two lives,
two more to protect,
two more to put in danger,
two more to fail,
two more to bring me to life,
both different,
both loved,
#polyamory
Cade Apr 2014
Like icy fear,
and fiery panic,
shooting through your veins,

chaos, chaos,
turns your mind,
fogs your heart,
and your brain,
More just random thoughts than a poem. It sorta rhymes.
Cade Apr 2014
The poison was burning,
Burning through me,

Setting my veins on fire,
Battling my heart,

I can't stop fighting,
They're still coming,

I start to falter,
To fail,

I'm sorry,
So sorry,

My heart stutters,
The is not what I wanted,

My eyes flutter,
I can't stop it,

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

My mind wanders,
I think of you,

My ears are blind,
I hear you,

I want to join you,
But cruel fate withholds,

My heart stops,
I sigh,
I love you,



My eyes open,
Cade Sep 2015
soft dew-touched lips brush,
against hardened lovely lies,
like late summertime
---
outside it is dark,
with great mischief in the wind,
I wander alone,
---
a soft summer breeze,
plays lightly against warm skin,
whispering of love,
Cade Apr 2014
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.
