Face Value

May 2017 Curtis Mullins

Emilia Delemontex

How can you not appreciate the clouds at dusk
Set ablaze by the sun,
Saying it’s final farewell to the only day that will ever be like that
In all history?

How can you not see the beauty in the light shining through
The conflagration of colored leaves,
Dappling you and everything beneath the trees’ limbs in resplendent glory
Turning your surroundings into a different planet?

How can you look at the night sky without stopping in your tracks,
Twirling
Trying to drink every twinkling corner of the heavens
In with your own two eyes?

How can you look at something so spectacular
And brush it off,
Like dust on your coat?
For if you look closer,
You will see
It was stardust.

Only You.

Only You.

Snakes are vicious,
snakes are wild,
snakes are pretty
when you're a child.
Snakes like to bite
anything close by.
Snakes are crazy,
with a mindset,
they aren't lazy.
Snakes like to sliver,
snakes give you shivers.
Snakes are mean,
snakes are fine.
Snakes no longer hurt
this heart of mine.
Snakes are resentful,
I wouldn't say regretful.
Snakes are beautiful,
snakes are kind.
Snakes are delusional.
Like in the way
they have 'mistake'
written in their eyes,
halfway through eating
their own body of disguise.

you always knew how to bring the best out of me.

Invite

I invite three of you here on HP
to a gala on the banks of the Missippi
if you can recite for real the oath
of the Blind Deaf Dumb Wizards
for Truth

Post it in comments

It will be such a party; the secret is in the words.

judgements

all I can do is weigh all the available inputs
on a scale of
hell i forgot to knock the **** off
and that white powder
it throws off any judgements

a picture is a thousand words
while poetry is a million translations
of feelings said by one

And God Said...

Rafael Emilio Diaz

And God Said...

I said, "God, I hurt."
And God said, I know."

I said, "God, I cry a lot."
And God said, "That is why I gave you tears."

I said, "God, I am so depressed."
And God said, "That is why I gave you Sunshine."

I said, "God, life is so hard."
And God said, "That is why I gave you loved ones."

I said, "God, my loved one died."
And God said, "So did mine."

I said, "God, it is such a loss."
And God said, I saw mine nailed to a cross."

I said, "God, but your loved one lives."
And God said, "So does yours."

I said, "God, where are they now?"
And God said, "Mine is on My right and yours is in the Light."

I said, "God, it hurts."
And God said, I know."

rope,                         which
ties                               itself
into a                            noose.
Your                              words
are also                    a rope,
that saves me from
drowning.

Sorry if you can't read it.
Kinda.

demon

have you ever seen a demon?

their eyes fill with hatred
but they act like saints around other people who don't know them
and i pretend not to see the demon
that has tortured me since i was seven
because they say it's against the bible not to love him
this very dark
thing
that hurts my sister and not me
if she would just keep her mouth shut
we would all be happy
and as it looks into my eyes
and decides to spear me
i wait for him to look away
take a deep breathe
and remind myself
"that's not a demon
that's daddy"

Unwanted

To All The Ugly Girls

Please wake up
I'm tired of you hiding your face
drowning in make up
drawing on a smile
cute dont you think?
live your life pretending your ugly
but you wont believe
perfection is unattractive
especially to guys like me
you live your life pretending
but where are the flawless things
a crooked tooth
makes you seem so amazing to me
it makes you different
special
the only one for me
so what if your an a cup
to tell you the truth not every guy wants the same thing
dont put us in a box
unlock the lock
dont throw away that key
dont give up on us
freaking ask us what you think
before you start starving yourself
thinking this is what we want
what we need
you dont need a big *** to be attrative
but hey thats just me
because i dont want perfection
I want the imperfect things

JUST LISTEN TO ME! HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TELL YOU . WE DONT WANT PERFECTION.... we just want you
