You'll never fit in,
but that's okay
I'll take you in
and lead you away,
I'll teach you how to love
The shutters of your eyes are closed
to me.
Won't you open them and let me see?
(Oh please)
Show me the way
Be the one I will love and have love
in return
I can't promise to erase,
but I can help you create

In My Dreams

In my Dreams,
The ones I love suffer and cry,
As their souls are taken from them
and delivered
Into Death's all too capable hands and hood.
In my Dreams,
Shadows flutter by
And the faceless angel is haunted
By one of my mind's own creation, a Demon misunderstood.
In my Dreams,
Shattered souls light up the forever midnight sky
And all intact hearts and beauty is doomed
Once inside my nightmare falsehood.
In my Dreams,
The demons awake
Both from down below
And from within.
In my Dreams,
My worst fears await
And tell me to let go
For the last time and convince me that it's not a sin.

City Lights

Sadie
The empty street
It expands in front of me
The city lights
I dont know where they went
The buildings, tall and forlorn
Walk alone
Cracks in the ground
Broken bottles
a chuckle sounds out.
'cracks...broken'
a shadow whispered,
'how very much like your heart...'

Touch

Sadie
a Dark promise
A smooth mouth
Words fall to honeyed poison
The want to touch
To feel the heat rise
(An elliptical ride)
A soft here and a rough where?
Damp breath and warm covers
Inexperienced dancer
Softly harsh against skin
A ward against sin
A movement slow
The rise and release
Dull, thudding pain
With a sharp twinge
(Walk it off)
Bruises form
Point and whisper
Heartbreak
A shattered dimension
Damage aspirationed
A toxic taste
With a damaged face

Good Night
 Jun 2013 Cat A
Sadie
Warmth pools around you
Look around and see that it's night
"You're sad, I know" it says
Cradled to safety
Protected from hurt
Kiss me goodbye
I'm off tonight
Fake a laugh, fake a smile
Save a tear, lose a love
Black and broken
Red between the lines
Claw yourself to shreds
A broken tide on shore
See the pain and lies
The shouts, the fights
The silence of the mind
The voices inside
Insanity breaks
Crawl away to die

We fight, we break
We make, we take
What is it that we must rush
to constantly?
Why can't we stop to take a look
around and help those who have
fallen?
Is it because we're scared of falling
too?
Or taking that step to help someone
and hold their heart and trust within
your soul?

the Sun

"She said she was like the sun."
The young girl sobbed to herself
on the bathroom floor.
the tears slipped down her face
as the blade glided over her skin.
scarring her skin
to heal the
wound in her heart
...
in the late hours after,
when the pain had ceased
and the numbness had come,
she asked the night
"And how am I to compare
when there is no greater star
in our galaxy?"

POETRY IS NOT PUBLISHED IN A BOOK
OR SCRIBBLED IN A JOURNAL.

IT IS NOT COMPOSED OF STRICT METER AND RHYME,
STANZA AND STRUCTURE,
ASSONANCE AND ALLITERATION.

POETRY IS NATURE.

POETRY IS NON-SEQUITUR.

POETRY IS THE WAY OUR HIPS AND LIPS
INTERTWINE LIKE GRASPING VINES
WITH DETERMINATION AND GRACE
THAT IS SIMPLY DIVINE.

POETRY IS THE WAY YOU WAKE UP ON A LAZY SUMMER SUNDAY MORNING
AND LISTEN TO THE HEARTBEAT OF YOUR LOVER
LYING NOT TOO FAR AWAY.

POETRY IS THE COMPASSION AND SELFLESS DESIRE
THAT CAUSES US TO BUY MEALS FOR STRANGERS
AND TIP EXTRA JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT.

POETRY IS THE FACT THAT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US IS ANOTHER INFINITELY RANDOM MANIFESTATION OF THE UNIVERSE ATTEMPTING TO UNDERSTAND ITSELF THROUGH CONVOLUTED COSMIC INTROSPECTION.

POETRY IS THE WAY THAT THE STARDUST FLOWS THROUGH OUR VEINS AND THE LIMITLESS POTENTIAL OF HUMAN CREATIVITY HIDES JUST OUT OF SIGHT BEHIND OUR EYES.

POETRY IS THE WAY THE WISE WINDS BLOW SOFTLY THROUGH THE TREES, WHISPERING SECRETS TO ANYONE WHO WISHES TO HEAR.

POETRY IS THE WAY THE RIVER LOVINGLY EMBRACES EACH AND EVERY PEBBLE IN THE RIVERBED LIKE A MOTHER HOLDING HER NEWBORN SONS.

POETRY IS ORGANIC.
MALLEABLE.
THESE WORDS ARE NOT POETRY -
LIFE IS POETRY.
DEATH IS POETRY.
LOVE -
LOSS -
STRIFE -
SUCCESS -
POETRY.
WE ARE POETRY.

I am not a poet nor a mathematician, I did not major in science,
I majored in bad decisions, at least one I can call my own.

I am a misfit; I bleed words for a living,
we're all going to die my friends, I plan to die alone.

I am an artist through and through,
from each creative incision my hate for them consumes.
I have grown more lethal; I have become incurable,
I am a hideous villain this time I'm keeping score.

I pity the weak have you not heard of me,
if you have then you're a nobody too.
Cause I love to dwell with misfits, those who feel what I feel,
the glass is not half empty, the glass is definitely full.
It’s filled with poison for us to consume,
so, we embrace our world until our lives are doomed,
to the point, we can ****, to the point we feel terribly ill,
but before they **** us, we point our pen and spill.

And yet with blood I cry as the words keep on giving,
every single worthless day until the story ending.
Dear, world have you heard of me? I am the next great villain,
this is just the beginning as my words keep spilling.

One morning the rain fell over my head then time stood still,
that is when I realized how important the rain is.
That is when I realized time never stands still, it moves slowly.
Then it hit me, my words aren't ignored my words are lethal,
I figured it out some time ago but most of you have no clue,
a poetic death is wonderful as long as we set the mood.

I am a misfit; I bleed words for a living,
from each creative incision, you become a misfit too.

Knowing what and what not to say is painful,
never knowing the outcome.
Just be sure to expect the worst.
The wonder in our words unspoken
echo across exposed skin.
Trying to hide the truth may not be the way to go,
but can be inevitable if it wants to be found.

Sigh and empty your invisible wounds,
lay them in this kiss.
They will forever be forgotten
and never will be missed.

The pain felt by others may be my only weakness.
My empathy overpowering.
Used to hiding the emotions I steal
in strange looks and heated kisses
My mind and soul are hidden, even if not for long.
If only I could keep it from those who are there.

Sigh and empty your invisible wounds,
lay them in this kiss.
They will forever be forgotten
and never will be missed.

Time is passed as we  grow stronger,
but the agony we bare remains.
This confusion entices me, telling me to give in.
Who can I turn to?
What can i do?
Nothing is helping and i wont go to you.

This pain is mine alone.
Not for you to see.
my purpose now is to run
And make it all unknown.
not sure. I'm working on it. Any editing tips will help. Line entries, word replacements, etc.

Added line to first stanza due to reply. Any more tips will be appreciated.
