Bitter Little Pills - Hello Poetry

Now

I am doomed to keep repeating
this hateful cycle, self defeating
bleeding red through open sores
set up to be deaths only chore.

These many coloured choking pills
that rush my blood but cure no ills
have taken hands too raw with pain
and bound them tight against the rain.

There is no finer love than this
between my soul and fires kiss
which burns my throat and scars my heart
while keeping love and life apart.

Our Father

My friend's Father,
Who's just that,
Has a Papa Francis.
And her entire congregated family
Won't acknowledge her
Very existence.
How can she communicate.
There's a crack in the crucifix,
And it's splitting, running up the wood,
Past the cruciform,
To the Head.

Suicide

Let your veins bleed
Let your heart stop to beat
Its like you are freed
You have admitted defeat
People cry deep
For a person who has just pressed delete
Your loved ones have nothing but to weep
They are not sure how you can leave them incomplete
Your wife and kids lost their concrete
Just because life brought you down to your feet
Its easy to become obscelete
Buts its difficult to be elite
Preventing you loved ones to fall a sleep
Not everything in life is nice and neat
You have to heal from every bash of heat
Life will never be complete
Get up and stand on your feet
Remmeber all the great people you meet
Try to think of life as being sweet
There is no problem you can’t treat

My Lie

My lie is i told i never wished your mine
I lied when i said time passes by and i dont think of you
Its hard to be true
When your sad i feel blue
It torments me not being honest to you
Its like i am a rotten fruit that you cant chew
I think my time is due
To tell you what is true
I wash my tears everytime i hurt you
If the sea was the only thing to describe my love for you
Then i choose the sky and glaxies that surrounds me and you
I wish my body would rot but my heart stays next to you
They say love is a fantasy game
Well its the oxygen for the flame
Its the water to the grain
It may cause you to cut your own vein
In order for the other heart to live instead
This all i can give before i get burried for dead

Things happen for a reason

Everything happens for a reason,
Sometimes for a good reason,
Other times...
Not so much.
But from each thing that happens,
You learn.
Each experience we endure,
There is a lesson to be taught.
You can take that lesson to heart,
Or you can completely ignore it.
Its all up to you.
But everything happens for a reason,
So dont dwell,
Dont sorrow,
It will all turn out ok,
In the big picture that is life.

It wasn’t a matter for her consideration

Her shoulder was bare
a bronze shimmer
uncovered by the slip
of her sleeve
he couldn’t help but to gently stoke the curves
the sea breeze played with rogue strands of hair
and her beauty was her sadness
as she gazed unpon the ruins
of her buried heart
she seemed inconsolable
yet defiant
and a calm peace
drew him in
and he loved her in that instant
like he’d never loved before
and knowing it was completely hopeless
reconciled himself
to her protector
and keeper
of her faith
in something greater.
she didn’t move
and he took this for her compliance
a small mercy
in the tragedy of their lives.

Author's Notes/Comments:
in the darkest times a small glint becomes a bright sun of hope.

things i'd like to get through

i don't deal with my problems;
i bury them in my yard and in
my haste forget that weeds grow
without the need of water.

you are my guilt

You are my guilt
When you gaze at me loving I stare blankly
When you try to touch me the way he did I flinch
When I see your smile I think of his dimples
When I lay beside you at night I feel empty
I will never love you the way I love him
You are my guilt
He broke me
I will break you
We are a cursed broken love

DEMENTED NURSERY RHYMES

Mirror mirror on the wall
Who told the biggest lies of all

A tisket a tasket
He just flipped a gasket

Red Rover Red Rover
Let warheads come over

One, two skip to my Lou
Three, four, you’ll start a war
Five, six, you’re in a fix
Skip to my Lou, my darling.
Seven, eight, it’s just too late
Nine, ten, you'll never win
Skip to my Lou, my darling.

Here we go Lupti Lou
Here we go Lupti Lie
Here we go Lupti Lou
Why don’t you lay down and die

Ring around the Rosey
A pocket full of posers
Bashes, Crashes
The World falls down

Mary, Scary, quite contrary
How does your evil grow
With fire drill bells and armored shells
And dead bodies all in a row.
ljm

If you're old enough to remember any/all of these, come sit by me. I did another series like this many years go and these were the only rhymes left for me to use this time.

April Chimes

April showers,
And freezing temps
Have festooned our trees
With crystal chimes.
Breezes move the limbs
In a clear symphony of spring.
I've never been endeared
To chimes.

My anxious thoughts

Anxiety anxiety,
O my anxiety,

I fear all and fear all of my fears,

Anxiety anxiety
O god my anxiety,

Distractions, distractions,
I try to fill my mind,

Anxiety anxiety,
O god please end the torture,

I’ll want to scream to empty my mind,
But I’m afraid of what people think of me,
If it would actually help,

Anxiety anxiety,
Why do I think about everything,

Anxiety anxiety, anxiety, anxiety, anxiety, anxiety, anxiety, anxiety, anxiety, anxiety,
anxiety, anxiety, anxiety, anxiety, anxiety,
anxiety...

It’s a poem

Living Perception

What happened to saving the world with music

It's different then false living

Live genuine

Live authentic

Walk straight

Walk with intention

This world *****

I can relate

I live with principles that **** me

Because of the world's illness

And developed more to survive that I hate

Now no one knows the real me but me

And I don't know the real you

Suppose you

Could show me like some kind of reward

But

Before my nomination

I Like to make a statement

I am an amalgamation

Of my parents and life situations

And it's my purpose to interpret

I suppose it's on purpose

So when I see you

I'm blind to everything but the light around you

The real you that surrounds you

I'll never know in what way you tip the scale

Or what it will amount to
