The Poets Which Shine And Capture!

Orange Rose

I wrote a poem when I died...
Another at my birth.
A brand-new sonnet when I cried.
And again when there was mirth.

A song for my confession...
A story for my pain...
A painting for depression...
And nursery rhymes for rain.

My creations live inside my heart.
I keep them there in shame.
Yet you looked around and saw my art,
And smiled all the same.

Cloak of Concrete

I feel it coming on again...

The weight comes first
My concrete cloak
Slowly draped upon me
by the gentle hands of another
The skill of a pick pocket
but it gives
instead of taking

Like the oncoming of
A cold or flu
You feel its presence
but deny it
with all your will
Believing that
maybe by somehow
refusing to acknowledge
its existence
will inhibit its power
and the ability to exist

But no matter
how much I turn away
and forever swim
in my eternal lake
of denial
No matter
the compartments I create
with walls
Oh so high!
Or the tomb carved
deep within the soil
A myriad of twists and turns
creating a maze of dungeons
where it's
boxed up
sealed tight
and forever buried away
with the
Ark of the Covenant

There is no denying it
There is no escaping it

Instead,
there is only
the refusal to admit it
and the refusal to accept it

A game I play
at times
Testing the limits
and true measure
of my
mental stability

"Don't ask questions
You don't want answers to"
and thus
my lips are sealed shut
my eyes closed
and my fingers plug my ears

And it's Here

inside my head

the empty void

and a limitless universe...

Here

I choose to stay

and where to live

Or maybe I've been here all along

Not how I feel at the moment thankfully
But an all too familiar experience

Savor My Smile

I am so tired of the struggle
Existing every torturous minute on Earth
Want to feel good when I wake up
Look at myself, know my worth.

I want my insecurities to disappear
With me all hours of the day
Tried to abandon them with no luck
Stubborn ******* are determined to stay.

Distort my vision often
Sing fears, remind of the nothing I've become
Watching with glee as I sit in this prison
Search for something to make sadness numb.

A substance to silence my sorrows
Found conflict instead of the comfort I crave
I want tomorrow to carry less dread
Forecast is hot weather, not enough shade.

The Earth keeps on surprising me
How I wish the pain would stop
I miss the days when monsters weren't real
Now my shoulders they sit atop.

The world shakes unstable feet
Each time recovery takes longer
I am beginning to understand defeat
I think about past tears, I get stronger.

Like sun beaming after a rainstorm
I will blaze more brilliantly than before
Confidence shining through open pores in skin
Self_acceptance and forgiveness lighting my core.

I need to change my attitude
Drop bad habits weighing me down
Like leaves shed by Autumn trees
Free myself, let them cascade to the ground.

Mood flips rather quickly
I want control over emotions I feel
I may be happy for a moment but it never lasts
I savor those seconds my smile is real.

It used to be real most of the time. Now its hardly ever real.

Undulated Desires

This coup
A new nation
Loyal dedication
Its classification
‘Species procreation’
Prevents us from facing
A human cessation
selective mutation
Gestation
Creation

It may help explaining
The reasons
Behaving
But not the foundation
Or actions
We’re basing

A simplification
is “continuation”
A checkbox
left vacant
Fulfillment
We’re chasing

We sweat
Eyes are gazing
A slight
palpitation
In need of hydration
Complete excitation
Without
hesitation
Intense stimulation
Deep urges
Heart racing
Driven
By sensations

Unbounded fixation
Pelvic
Undulations
Clothing
Perforations
Time no longer wasting
This capitulation
a Sanctification
****** gyrations
Hint of *******

The bedroom
Safe haven
For what
we are craving
Once out
and displaying
It all had been taken
Before
Feeling vacant
Freed imagination
A resuscitation
Indulged depravation

A rhythm
we’re setting
The giving and getting
Destroying
the bedding
All else I’m forgetting
Entwined
with each other
Like entangled netting
Both
on the same trip
In a unified heading

Now comes
the summation
A true
Revelation
Final
culmination
Smash all expectations
Volcanic
eruption
That lasts the duration
Loud gasp
We unlock
Filled with gratification

T

My girl.

Perfect as you are.
Your love radiates from afar.
No matter the distance, you'll be my subsistence.
I'll take you exactly as you are.

That smile on your face.
To how you always win your race.
To see life from your eyes, I'd be in for a surprise.
How you always manage to empathize, leaves me so warm inside.
A love so whole, it'll fill your soul.
I'll take you exactly as you are.

Perfection in imperfection.
The recipient of my affection.
You drive me wild, just the way you are.

To a future unknown.
We could build a home.
Or be in a state of perpetual free roam.
We'll never be alone.
Like a lighthouse at sea, calling to me.
For we are each others lodestone.

For someone who means the world to me.

paint

I will paint you with
Pastel emotions
Red rage and
Blue fear and
I will paint you with
Sweeping black curves
Reminiscent of your hips and
I will paint you with neon rage and
I will paint you with soft words and
I will paint you with a white kiss
Shivering as if it is snowing
and some nights I will miss you
in shades of orange
as bright as the rising sun
and some days will be sad
and in those days
we can find each other in purple
And I will paint you with my words and
We will be immortalized in canvas.

BEAUTY OF CREATION

Simplicity is so simple that
our mind are not well informed
in it's simple formation.
Simplicity is the ultimate
form of sophistication.
In it there are complexities
and it's quite interwoven.
Beautiful in its form.
It shows us the beauty of
creation telling its own stories
with peculiar history.
Nature is so deep and
captivatingly beautiful.
Intriguing in its own way
and profoundly awesome.
It's amazing how much of
it we really know.
Its so confounding how
many people really comprehends
the principle back of it.
In simplicity nature speaks.
Spirals of things visible are
so complex that it's configuration
and formulas are of simple nature,
only to be deciphered by a simple mind.
The mind of man is sophisticated
and complex but simple.
It's rhythm pulsates within the
intricate formation of the spirit behind it
making it one of the most simple
but not so understood things of nature.
Like a jigsaw puzzle it's sophisticated
complexity is made simple by a sound mind.
The mind has to be disciplined
to decode it's hidden ciphers.

Ciel Noir

Atom

What other kind              of creature could divide
        Each different thing           into its different sides
  With chaos versus             order, dark and light
The stark duality of         wrong and right
We even split the very        world in two
With human versus human,       we and you
But still no matter how much      we divide
Each thing has infinitely many      sides
