Water In The Mist
Daylight 4U2C Feb 2015
I held the tiny, uneven piece of my heart in my hand. I didn't know what to do with it, where it came from, or why it was in my hand. Before I could do anything it crumbled before my eyes in such a slow motion. As slow as it was I had always been slower. The whole time I felt like something in my heart and mind faded away so slow I was not fast enough to respond. Gone in the wind the dust spun. That dust just- was gone in an instant. I don't know anymore, I feel like I can feel. I haven't gone numb. A shiny point came down crashing next to me, but I didn't flinch. I didn't move my eyes at all. It drew on my head, wrote words on my shirt, and erased the past. "I shouldn't have simply let go," my mind said. The voice was blurred. Every sight and word was coming through a blurry screen door. Every movement was empty and dulled. I felt the eraser drag away my eyes, my head, my ears, my nose, my mouth, and then me. Suddenly I was evaporated. Clouds were drawn above me and dropping me to the floor. So I was a part of a cycle now? Okay. Up, down. Up, down. Up. Down. I was water in the mist. The mist I would've been so captured by, but I was no longer me. I was only water in the mist now. Only water in the mist.

You're still alive
Daylight 4U2C Jan 2015
You said goodbye and I said ...but you're still alive. You didn't understand what I really meant then,  and so I had to say goodbye, but I swear, those words were no drare. I could not see the day the same, until...I thought about my words meaning...you needed to just know what I meant and so I wrote a letter.
    To a friend who lived saying I have nothing to give,
   To the sour days when you couldn't win and you couldn't give up,
  To the heart burning with freedom and fairity,
  To the life of morals you wanted but could not keep,
I said "...but you're still alive."
  To the broken hearts and broken bones
  To the sharpened knives and sticks and stones,
To the troubles and the dooms that rode your way
  I said, "...but you're still alive."
To every inch of lose and every inch if gain
To every grain of salt inflicted on your pain
To the things no one could understand inside your thought-filled brain
I said, "...but you're still alive."
And though the words now dip stomach and scratch my throat,
Though the words are not as charming as they used to seem,
Though they've lifted off with the greater end of my cares,
Though they aren't even true for the best persons anymore,
All I can do is hope that if I repeat this line to all whom come to me then one day I might meet you again and these words being your saving grace. I know each pain may weigh you down, ...but you're still alive.

Possessions
Daylight 4U2C Jan 2015
They grab a leg
and shake...
and shake.
They grab a arm,
because I don't-
feel the harm.
They grab my hair,
my fingers,
my toes,
my eyes,
my ears,
my heart,
my nose.
One by one
each piece goes.
Before I can breathe
they've stolen my breath.
They pick apart all I have,
and I ask,"is this death?"
Death so empty,
yet I feel peace when alone.
All those years I cried for someone,
but I feel so shaken;
so happy on my own.
Let my sharing freeze over,
that someday it plop and rot,
to see their grand expressions,
will they still care or will they not?
I've given all I have,
I've said goodbye to all I love.
They've looted me entirely,
do they yet have enough?

Little
Daylight 4U2C Jan 2015
Suspense echos on the mother land. A new born child's life at hand. Fought, they say, but she hardly new the lines. She told them so, but they begged for just some signs. The rugrats and baboons ruled the kingdom; they slept on rocks. Soon as the Clementines got a chew on little peer, they swore a lot she was rot and had better not come near. Stage-froze child left behind by her own kind, except the occasional taunts and questions that would one day compose a mind. Played much like a tune, she learned in seclude and rot,"The worst is never best, but the best is what you've got." Despite the lies and ******-schemes you find to love yourself. And she looked back to wish upon her peers great joy and abundant health.
I don't know if I like my poem much..

Tomorrow
Daylight 4U2C Jan 2015
You'll think you have me in the palm of your hand and like snow I leave only water, but don't soak yourself over cold things and empty-looking glasses, because that is what will keep you going and make you strong. Don't ignore it's existence because it has no bright colors or fear when the warmth hits your hands that touched something so frozen, and so heartless that warmth burns, because eventually the burning will go away and the warmth will flow throughout. You aren't glass and going from cold to hot won't shatter you, just hold yourself together. In the end I know my words are shunned, and shammed, but I still say 'get well soon'.

Stormy Weather
Daylight 4U2C Dec 2014
Let them swim through your mind,
while you contemplate life.
If they ask what your thinking,
you won't really know.
It went from ground zero,
to somewhere past space.
And so, you have become quite distraught.
Now I know that it's tough,
keeping eyes on the prize,
and keeping your head in the game.

Optimistic
Daylight 4U2C Dec 2014
Maybe I don't have a mind,
but at least I'm not crazy.

I fallen so many times,
so I'm so experienced.

I've been cheated and left behind;
I know my friends and enemies.

I hear the echos of memories;
they see how far I've come.
So I know I've come so far.

Don't have a lot of friends,
so music's number 1.

Would **** for solitude,
but then where is the fun.

Maybe it's complicated,
but that makes an adventure.

Sometimes the darkest times,
are ones we gladly venture.

Optimist living for a life we understand. We were never idiots; we have the upper-hand. Notice their all falling down the depths of agony, but we optimist live strong, proud, and free.

Santa's Slaving Helper
Daylight 4U2C Nov 2014
Pouncing through my door with his huge, squishy hands,
he laughs manically and ask,
..."where's the can?"
I lead him the way soaked with disgust,
this man... Ole Saint Nick looks like he's gonna bust.
He comes out, hangs his coat.
His hands look real dry.
I don't think he washed them,
doubt that he'd try.
You'd think this is all a joke.
This man is just so sick.
There is no way this gross old man could be good Ole Saint Nick!
He scratches his scalp,
flakes fly all around.
He **-hos' and ha-has'
as they fall on my ground.
I finally speak without any fear.
"Okay 'Santa', why are you here?"
He **-hos',"Elfy-boy! Tiny! ******! Dear kid! You're so very small, it seemed as if you hid. A simmering *** like you could really use a lid.
I came because of traffic. It's really crowded in the sky. Do you know how many planes are up there? And it's always worse at this time. Besides, don't you want me here? Maybe you got something too. In fact, if you want, looking in the bag gives you something to do!"
So I did just as he said.
Something he got for me?
He has no idea!
That would actually make me happy!
Something dark ran down my shoulders and right over my head.
I was so absolute I was completely and utterly dead.
Then a noise came about, shining light on to me.
My nightmare had come true.
Santa kidnapped me again,
because he had nothing better to do.

Be Yourself
Daylight 4U2C Nov 2014
Once I read a book
about a little lady whom
was overwhelmed by powers,
and was falling into doom.
She scared away her loved ones,
and was driven to a corner.
She thought to change herself,
to bring family and friends back for her.
However she was halted,
by the fearful and the fray.
They came back trying to be brave,
saying "No, please wait, it's okay",
never should a monkey beg
to ever be a moose,
I've never seen a rabbit stare
pleading to be a goose.
Her eyes were wide with tears that flood,
she didn't have a clue.
She could become safe to them,
but they plead she love present her,
over and ideal image of anything new.
I guess the idea really was from a story...well show. I watched Once Upon A Time this morning and this was amazing to me. She wanted to get rid of her powers to be safe, but they stopped her because they wanted her to love who she was, even if it meant she would need time to learn to control herself.

Lips
Daylight 4U2C Nov 2014
I don't have lips,
I don't like lips.
They lie,
they deceive,
they hurt,
they breathe.
The air is foul.
Like fresh,
clean,
suds,
turned to dirt,
and washed mud.
The words are harsh.
Killing me softly,
the doves cry.
The radio jumps.
The words screamed.
Held inside?
All I know is lips taste bad,
after hurting my stomach,
they release what I had.
They let out what I hold,
letting go off it all.
I don't like lips.
I don't have lips.
And I more than don't mind.

This isn't a drill
Daylight 4U2C Nov 2014
You know it well,
all life with a price.
A tag to every word that escapes a lip.
That no life is eternal,
or at least far as we know.
You must do,
to have,
then soon we all go.
But rather than fretting,
rather than dark depths.
Take the price tag and pay it,
as it won't rip off.
Take the price tag and pay it,
though it may rip you off.
Take the price tag and pay it,
since there is never a choice.
Take this price tag and pay it,
and work for what you want,
or demolish the store you built,
leaving holes in all you've got,
watching the land beneath you tilt.
Daylight 4U2C Nov 2014
Anything for a dollar.
Anything for a dime.
If you need to live,
nothings a waste of time.
What a shame,

and so it is true,
money as a life sentence;

or you're a body with no value.

You weren't dying.
Daylight 4U2C Nov 2014
You want me to fear you.
Then you want me as a friend.
You want me to leave you,
then come right back again?
But I've done a bit of jumping,
and it actually wears me out.
You want my trust and sympathy,
but then you lie and make me doubt.
You don't even know,
so how ever could I?
I ask you simple questions,
but when hypothetical you ask why.
I just want some answers.
And you say I overthink?
But whose the try-hard mysterious guy?
You even hide your eyes just to blink.
Well I'm honestly done with these games.
You always think I'm joking but now I'm really not.
I'm tired of these mind games you huge genius,
and your lies are making me feel so distraught.
I'm breaking out in stress hives over nothing,
because nothing is these jokes you like to play.
But if both sides aren't really having fun,
then it makes sense for one of them to walk away.
And that is why I have to let you go now,
and trust me, I'm still having a good day.
I'm not like you, you stupid smarty!
I don't need fake pity to be okay!

The wall said "not anymore"

Mother searched school to capture the bullies. But the rapture that sang never rang a word to her.
"Capture the bullies!"
No, not anymore.
The father called on his group, but their theories flying south. She needed diagnostics. Something was wrong.
"Something was wrong!"
No, not anymore.
Not anymore because something was gone.
Something was wrong, but could not be diagnosed.
It could not be diagnosed by popping a dose.
The dope on the street,
the sky wasn't blue,
it's just blank.
What was wrong?
Oh yes, something's wrong!
And so the rapture rang, and it cawed and it clawed!
And it scratched at the window with a piece of a shirt, and a scripture to say
"NO! She wasn't okay!"
Does it take you so long to decide what was wrong?
Well it's not your decision!
Yes, something was wrong!
We knew it all along.
Something was soulfully, graspingly wrong!
But before you point fingers,
before you slam doors.
Please listen to the rapture,
"no, not anymore!"
It's a vent. I was in English class thinking and losing my mind all in my head. So when the teacher gave us rough draft papers I jotted down this like a free train. I kind of was worked up, so I guess it's better if you read it fast.

Hectic World
Daylight 4U2C Nov 2014
Carefully I lay me down,
in a world so hectic,
and yet it matters.
It matters we were all placed gently.
In a world so hectic.
Born to breathe,
an air of fresh chemicals,
in a world so hectic.
I can't say why,
since I'm no god,
but in this world it matters.
In this world so hectic,
it matters
that we have lips and eyes.
It matters
that there is little hair on our heads that give life to buggies if we don't keep it clean.
It matters
that we have money in our pockets,
and shoes on our feet.
It matters,
and that isn't always the softest inside.
There may be holes in those pockets;
holes in those shoes,
but it matters.
Those holes are representing something new.
Something fresh.
Something before and not so bad, because
before humans touched this world did earth seem so sad?
Was earth dripping color?
Were raindrops filled with gas?
What about those cans you see,
scattered in the bay?
Do you think the world would still be sad,
if all it went away?
Not to say, we are to blame.
In fact, that's not my point.
I'm saying we are carefully placed in this loving,
small,
and hopeful place,
yet this hectic,
crazy,
brain-numbing place,
so carefully,
we can't misplace that this
this matters,
in some kind of way.
It must matter we were placed
in the world, though we wrecked it.
It matters we were placed
in a world so hectic

Anwers are for dancers
Daylight 4U2C Nov 2014
'Sometimes things just don't make sense and ignoring things won't make you dense, but some people can't say no, so if someday our minds do blow, from curiosity and such, we will no longer keep in our clutch, reality and questions thought, and hopefully we needn't sought the answers, non-factual, we've been taught.'

Answers are for dancers:
Never step left,
always step right.
Right on the course,
where loyalist fight.
Right in the angelic pose that they do.
In fact,
it'd be better if you weren't you.
Just act like they act and you can get by,
do as they do and never ask why.
Answers I give you my dancers,
my prancers,
answers I give you to move the right way.
Answers I give you my dancers,
my prancers,
because with my answers you never will stray.
But if you do,
I assure you,
you've clipped the strings,
and do know that it means
you will shunned,
an existence unseen,
by the people who dance,
the people who sing,
by all the people pulled by my string.

Beauty In My Eyes
Daylight 4U2C Oct 2014
His question for me was "do you see the beauty in life?"
And I said "no."
He asked again if I saw beauty in the world.
I asked "was beauty simply a masquerade dance?
Was everything always just a word and a description?"
I didn't see beauty since it wasn't possible.
I saw a monotonous echo of bright wonders rolled over my head and the seed, out of center view, was a blushing blaze of white that I love but bask away from to keep from singing my sight.
But why would we hide from true beauty?
Daylight 4U2C Oct 2014
You don't realize it was there until it's gone.*

That's why sweethearts' lose their sunshine til' there's none.
Change is inevitable, when knowledge is abstain.
So tell Polly she's a pretty bird before she sleeps in pain.
Sight from a far view tend to be better.
If the sun gets too close, the thoughts just might get her.
We are manipulated daily,
by the thoughts inside our mind.
They tell us things that aren't true,
leaving the better us behind.
We search for who we should be,
could be,
want to be
pretty.
Want to be
loved.
We want to be
sweet.
Though in past lives they
beat.

But once they get in they cannot get out..unless they understand what their sunshine's about. So tell them it's there and tell them to stay. They must stay themselves, or their sunshine turns gray.

Power Games
Daylight 4U2C Sep 2014
...It's shame..when they force you into the power game....


Carry wisdom on your back,
if you plan on coming back.
You'll be losing such good friends,
til' the power game ends.
The power game goes on,
until the end of pride.
Does it make you seem strong,
when you've lost your kids and wife?
It was just a little skirmish,
but to you it's all much more,
with every little fight, you believe you're fighting war.

It's survival of the fittest,
and the thinnest,
they can fall.
If they don't know what their saying,
they should never speak at all.
Climb mountains with that energy
to say what you thinks right,
and when your finally tired of it,
will you have a life?

...It's shame..when they force you into the power game....

Panic
Daylight 4U2C Sep 2014
We see the day in night,
but not night in day.
Eyes never close,
to turn fear away.
We won't be remembered for chittery teeth,
but the horror embeds in our skin deep beneath.
Recalling the old days and things from t.v.
All have outgrown us,
with change causing grief.
We don't fall,
we climb,
we don't walk,
we run,
we carry our mouths,
treating them like a gun.
We don't know so we guess,
then lose sanity,
when our answer is wrong,
and the world feels like sea.

We are humans too,
and yet aliens,
but aliens are scary,
but aliens are cool,
but aliens aren't quiet as great as ghouls,
but ghouls are to be feared,
as are book they come from,
but the books provide an unexplainable adrenaline.
Then in the night we hide our heads,
from thoughts we can't escape.

We are the anxious,
fearful ones,
whose fears aren't seen by day.

Can you help me friend?
I have a problem.
I'd love to tell you,
but that'd solve them.

But I found my eyes staring.
Did you know your eyelashes are thick?
Well anyway..
I fell in to a crater then,
lost in peachy...peach skin.
I know this is a little vague,

I've been at lose of what to say,
so I wrote this poem hesitantly.
I'm sorry if this means goodbye,

Give me the freestylin', free-write.
Give me the stuff that makes you see day and dream at night.
Give me the highest peak,
give me the valley pit,
and if you can't give,
then try and don't quit.
I'm sure the words you say,
you say so fast,
you don't really mean.
And if you do it often,
then they call you 'queen bee'.
If you don't say enough,
they call you not tough.
If you will talk and talk,
they just ignore stuff.
You're not a rock.
You could still try and try
to change inside yourself,
but they will never change.
Saying they don't really care,
and you should listen to what they say"
?
But if you hear them out,
what favors are you doing,
all that turkey flying out their mouths,
is surely cooking.
Give me the sour slice.
Give me tongue-tied.
Give me the Gatorade that quenches me on half-time.
Give me that sunny side,
when hills are steep *****.
Give me the love life,
that steamy"yes",
and cold"no."
There's nothing I don't want to hear so,
if you can give me something here,
I will listen real clear.
I will read your thoughts,
or compliment for talking about your fears.
I'll be here patient and calm,
awaiting something,
soon as I see it there,
I will be observing.
And when you pull away,
I hope you recall,
all of the comments I made,
that made you feel real tall.
Freedom rest in the air, it's just a matter of how you get it out of there.

Any ideas to add or remove? Critic and stuff? Personal comments?

Egotist Hands
Daylight 4U2C Sep 2014
You can rip the rainbow right out of the sky,
or make me feel so freaking high,
but you can't control it.
You're Jekyll and Mr.Hyde,
sometimes your calm,
sometimes just an unpredictable tide.
And I love you! bit by bit,
as I friend and dear to me,
but.. I'm tired of being drowned
by your slightly helpful sea.

You can carry me away,
but you're so clung to reality.
Telling me what you've heard,
to push your pain into me.
Shoving it deep,
by calling me names,
and telling me your morals,
that turn into my shames.

I try to take your hand,
when I have fallen down,
you offer it to me,
after I am on the ground,
but then as I get up,
you put me in my place?

I just don't really need this.
Are you hoping I'll lose face?
Hoping to wipe my happiness clean,
and that my smile will leave no trace?

Pity-
self-pity-
hopeless,
devouring,
full pity.
And you filled it up,
so full you had to pass some on to me,
but now I'm going to blow up.

I'm done with you.
And hell yeah, I feel so free!

Even if it hurts at first to let go of them, and maybe they'll seem sad, or say things for then are bad. But you have to understand, you can't always hold an egotist hand.

I'm a little stuck right now.
I got some beans,
but lost my cow.
I was robbed,
but they dropped these here.
Thought it'd be something
I could persevere.
Mom's going to **** me
when she finds out.
I'm going to be cooked instead
there's no doubt!
Jack-o burger,
or Jack smoked-steak.
I can't go back home yet,
or I'll be begging to be baked.
:time passed:
Rain got on my seed
and it almost grew through me
it grew so high and loud
it goes right passed the clouds
It got too much attention
they think this is a plant convention.
I lost the other two seed
Well, I wonder where this leads
:time passed...again:
I..can..hardly....breathe..
this....climb was..too high..for me.
On my way up....my hand was run across by a rat!
And I almost jumped..but I didn't quite feel like..going "splat!"
Now I feel a little better.
But it's so freezing cold up here
now I need a sweater!
Where am I anyway?
It looks brighter than snow.
"Where are you?"
I WOULDN'T HAVE ASKED IF I DID ALREADY KNOW!!
"Where are you little creature?"
Oh wait a minute..wait.
"Where are you? You smell real bad."
What did he just say?!
"Thumpity thump
dumbity dumb
I smell something gross
and almost taste it on my tongue."
I looked around for a sharp weapon,
only finding some gold duck.
So I was going to grab it
when it woke and screamed
"Clack clack!"
I quickly thought to grab it
and swung it over my shoulder by the neck
then I realized mom would love this
and gave the giant a rain check.
I tried to just slide down the the vines
but it didn't go out well.
So I pulled the ducks feathers,
and rode down
until it fell. I hurdled to the ground
still holding tightly on the duck.
then I quickly grabbed a leaf,
and the duck yelled
"Clack clack clack!"
I brought it too my mommy
and she almost cooked it well
but she noticed a patch of feathers missing
and wasn't that just swell.

Pale as snow,
and eyes so blue,
and not quite yet mine.
Not a lover,
but a dancer.
With his own kind of mind.

Complicated personality,
but yet such simple taste.
Drawing me in,
so I'm chasing my heart,
and leaving no mark of space.

Swift witted,
slow texter.
Only chatty eye-to-eye.
Fights on whether I understand him.

With open eyes
Daylight 4U2C Aug 2014
It's not a question sweetums. It's an answer to a problem. You don't know just what you need, but I know just how to solve 'em. You open your hands for me, and I'll hop right in, if you really try to see, I'll show you the world you're missin'. Open your eyes love, and I'll make you never want to close 'em. See there is always a green side to every dark ol' shadow, but run with me and you can see the greener side to everything. Dance and fall into the grass and you won't even care for ants. All that matters there and then is loving; being, until the end.
You can be heavenly, though, I beg you to stay by me.

For you are so heavy on me
Daylight 4U2C Jul 2014
I'll be hopeful     for you,
and strive on      for you.
But I'll think      for me.
I will breathe     for you;
have a heart, so true  
                -If it weren't for you, I'd have no reason to-

You pain doesn't hurt for me.
and I won't cry or bleed.
I'll smile happily 
                                              
         ­                                    ...but I will not agree..

Photographic Trauma
Daylight 4U2C Jul 2014
If I remember every moment,
then I die every day.
Daylight 4U2C Jul 2014
Screaming in horrid, agonizing pain.              |
I start to wonder if I've gone insane.                 |
Can someone tell me how to wreck this train. |            
I need to stop turning good people to grain.    |            
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Telling myself I've got a problem.
Too much pride to ask the doc.
Calling from my man-made cage,
while steadily, clicking the lock.

I need a release,
the hot air just grows,
if I don't blow up,
I may start to float.

Maybe it's heartburn,
maybe the headache will go,
but inside I tell myself,
"you're faking, you know."

A shudder down my back,
I'm holding in a scream,
but I don't need to turn around,
to know I'm afraid of nothing.

I can tell you more and more,
than you thought I'd ever know,
but when it comes to  happy endings,
I cling to let everything go.
Daylight 4U2C Jul 2014
It tears the border,
like an army of sunken ships and color in the blank seas
It tears the heart,
like a bullet rushing to the finish line but always paused in motion.
It tears the life,
for g-d knows what life truly is.
It tears the thoughts,
for cracked vases do shatter.
Beneath the cold and rough hands,
of broken and battered.
It is skilled.
It tears everything.
Shatters them completely,
until dust is left in each place.
Would 'obliterate' be a good choice of word?
Perhaps 'traumatize',
since that is what happens when 'it' is all over.
And what brings this?
Life.
Life must come,
only to take.
One more is one less.
Leaving the effortless life-taking to be the simplest choice.
It is skilled.
It has you believing ropes and knives are friends.
Knives numb the pain.
So do pain-killers.
As does the stinging of a ringing in your head,
from what you thought would be a simple escape to Neverland.
Ropes bring emotional and physical pain.
Then the walls have holes,
and the scars burn in the rain.
They say,
"Don't do it!
There's a better way!"
Yet they never seem to say,
"It's a illusion that takes you farther from where you wanted to be,
and it gets complicated."
It is skilled.
It tears the little hairs from your head.
It tears the children sleeping in bed.
It tears the words you can't unsay.
It tears the people,
who never seem to stay.
It tears a hole in your gut.
It tears a penny in an empty cup.
It tears until you don't look up.
It tears like a river, moving quick.
It tears and stabs, as it is slick.
It is skilled.
It should be feared.
Living on the brink of "where am I?"
And "whose body am I in?"
There you wonder if everything you've done is a sin.
Alas you don't expect to be forgiven.
In your mind,
you've already sinned,
so you figure you may as well give in.
Wrote this a long time back. Found it in a draft and decided to fix the grammar.

Cheetah Child
Daylight 4U2C Jul 2014
Pushed in the sandbox,
head in the clouds.
They call you names,
so you scream out loud.
You are brave,
and proud,
cheetah child.
Holding you down,
pinned to the ground,
but still so alive
with that clingy smile.
You are sweet,
and strong,
cheetah child.
Warming the frozen,
hearing the silent,
Never getting caught,
You are so cunning,
and wild,
cheetah child.
Running so fast,
too fast to catch,
a smile to all passed.
You are unstoppable,
lighting up,
and so so fast.
wild,
wild,
cheetah child.

New Perspective
Daylight 4U2C Jul 2014
Even if I were free,
to soar so far and high
where would I go
to lose myself?
No jump is daring enough to try.
No jump could take me someplace new.
My silly self caught waving goodbye.
Walking on and on,
with no idea.
No idea at all
There is no place you can go
to escape from where you've gone.
Where you've gone is in you
and will last forever on.
But oh how far
But oh how high
I can dream
I can fly
soaring brave throughout the curious sky
or at least I may dream
or at least I may try
to see something new
or at least a new view
to escape from the ones
that cause me so blue

Infected Confliction
Daylight 4U2C Jul 2014
I don't want to die.
I won't die.
I don't want to disappear.
I've already been there.
Just having a strong conflict inside,
because I don't want to exist here.

Why I keep my head down
Daylight 4U2C Jun 2014
I don't know what it is I adore about the floor and it's galore.
The sight is one craved,
to be only saved.
Every spot and crack rendered homely warm.
Still,
I puzzle if it's the warmth of below or the fear of above that keeps my eyes so fixed.
Perhaps it's the life lead,
and all that I've seen,
hence my reason is both mixed.

A Poet's Dream
Daylight 4U2C Jun 2014
I want to be new,
the refreshing deep breath,
that welcomes you through the doors,
to a world unknown.
I want to be to the start of the evolution,
I want to be the speck in space,
that brings a new race.

I want to be the reason,
and I want to be the cause.
I want to be free,
and find all that's been lost.

I dream to be the dream.
I cling to bringing the "ahh."
I dance and jump to reveal
               the unexpected thrill.
Comments? Hearts?

In Dying Grace
Daylight 4U2C Jun 2014
To those who hate us,
and don't know why.
To those who love us,
and try not to cry~

Given a seal,
molded in fate.
Not infinite.
So cruel, but unchanging.

It is not simply a seal
which will bring sorrow,
but all same the letter.
The letter of whom.
The letter of when,
where,
what,
why.
Assimilating to feel as if a scroll,
when set in rewind.
Molded in thus fate.
Fate is not the seal,
but the mold to which create.
Fate being start.
Fate is not the end,
but the beginning.
What you make of the beginning,
is solely yours to make,
while it will be the final impression,
upon the seal.
Upon the letter
unchanged,
but not unchangeable.
And done away,
or kept by side,
to live on as the end of ending.
I was influenced by The Fault In Our Stars to write a poem about dying of cancer.
If you understand it, it makes sense.

Oh, Night by the Low
Daylight 4U2C Jun 2014
In space we seem weightless.
Hidden by face.
A reflection of inside,
who we are
when we fall.

Space is kind,
but space is cruel.
Honoring the solitude,
while grasping to never fly nor fall.

An angel without the wings,
hovering over the sky.
Not falling.
Not floating.
Just being..
there.

Repetition reminding,
we exist nowhere.

Leaving fear,
and apathy,
seen in distance,
and serenity.

Pleasure overflowing to the ants,
deep,
deep,
in the empty of the stars,
who cannot see but the dull,
of eternity surround.

Breathing slow,
for the unanswered questions,
and the unquestioned answers,
that create a star so bright.
Being a instrument of the extraterrestrial night.
Lined perfect,
to ***** the blindness in elevation,
bid the truth of all whom felt the sensation.
Springing from these hands,
possible-
a true revelation?
I saw a scientific page on google that stated the words "In space we feel weightlessness because the earth's gravity has less effect.." and I lost myself in the wording. I'm kind of weird haha.

Please comment. Also, the poem does have a meaning.

Survivor
Daylight 4U2C Jun 2014
I was gone for a long time now,
stuck in a hole.
It was all pitch dark,
seeping unknown evil.
But I crawled back home,
under the flooding smoke.
I destroyed the creatures,
though my lightsaber broke.
Holding tight to it's handle.
In my hand,
the smell of iron,
may last forever.
And the pictures
that led crispy burnt bits to fall here,
were burned in the fire,
of my will,
strength;
desire.
I am not who I was,
but I am fresh.
like new car,
and my brain has been washed.
It's not bad.
It's better.
I'm glad,
and I will never
ever
fall
so deep
again.
I will never
ever
walk away
in the end.

Lamoon
Daylight 4U2C Jun 2014
Lamoon smiles like the sun.
Call me home,
before dinner lamoon.
Sweet lamoon making no sense,
silly lamoon says she can't dance.
Lamoon my hands get cold,
and so do yours.
Lamoon, glimmer on my dear.
Lovely lamoon,
white as a flower.
Scent like a ballroom.
Always has the answer, lamoon.
Lamoon
with grace to skip along stars.
Shoes in hand,
and the trickles of hope falling on us.
Lamoon
shine bright on.
Lamoon,
you're your own song.
A hymn.
A cord.
La
Lamoon,
gleam netted eyes,
and rose hugged lips.
La
Lamoon
free and close.
La
Lamoon,
making me feel like I've seen a ghost.
Taking breath and stealing hearts.
La
Lamoon
enchanting echos chant,
"La,
Lamoon!"
I see her in the horizon,
watering the road.
She plants me in the ground and tells me to grow.
Pouring her nectar over me,
and running the street so free.
La
Lamoon
singing a wonder so happy.
I don't know, I really liked writing this poem. It's not about anyone specific, mostly like the feeling of being in love itself.

Why Book
Daylight 4U2C May 2014
A book of my thoughts,
careful gestures,
and randomized scribbles.
An assortment of "I don't know"s
and question marks.
Rhetorically, why do I write in this?
Why do I mention this book which keeps me still?
Why ever would 'why' be my ever waking thrill?
Why not try, writing a book dedicated to 'why'?
You'll be amazed at what you don't know.
Why is..
Why me..
Why you..
Why do..
Lovely friends,
I see you now,
because I've asked why and how
and how
could I not see,
until I asked why you were wanting me to be free,
leaving me be?
Lovely friends,
I've opened mind,
opened hands.
Why not write 'why'?
The questions do not torment,
they simply fly away,
replaced with clarity:
you didn't know. I didn't know. We don't always know.
Why are we so wrong?
Why are we so right?
Why do we hate day?
Why do we love night?
Why were we so weak?
Why were we so strong?
Why not move along?
Why is a book binding you to life,
bind you to hope,
helping people strive?
Why, a book like mine is one with a streaming hook.
Why do I love my why book?

Little child, be not afraid
The rain pounds harsh against the glass
Like an unwanted stranger
There is no danger
I am here tonight

Little child
Be not afraid
Though thunder explodes
And lightning flash
Illuminates your tearstained face
I am here tonight

And someday you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forests and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning

Little child
Be not afraid
The storm clouds mask your beloved moon
And its candlelight beams
Still keep pleasant dreams
I am here tonight

Little child
Be not afraid
The wind makes creatures of our trees
And the branches to hands
They're not real, understand
And I am here tonight

And someday you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forest and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning

For you know, once even I
Was a little child
And I was afraid
But a gentle someone always came
To dry all my tears
Trade sweet sleep the fears
And to give a kiss goodnight

Well, now I am grown
And these years have shown
Rain's a part of how life goes
But it's dark and it's late
So I'll hold you and wait
'til your frightened eyes do close

And I hope that you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forests and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning

Everything's fine in the morning
The rain will be gone in the morning
But I'll still be here in the morning

The Stars Do Not Whisper
Daylight 4U2C May 2014
The stars do not just whisper,
they cry and yell and beg.
"Someone,
someone,
we are ill,
from this horror show we cannot unsee."
The land was filled with gas,
the stars,
too high to cleanse.
The stars are begging,
"Someone,
someone,
put this horror to an end."

Though on the other side.
The one that plugs their ears,
clipped noses,
zipped mouths,
and the society alive,
we say nothing to the stars,
instead we simply watch them cry.

I know we let you drop the shine,
and dazzles of tears
to our revolt and vandalized land.
I'm sorry we cannot let go,
and give you all demand,
but society has this image,
and it may not go away.

I'm sorry crying, yelling stars,
but no.
Not today.

Soaring Only in My Dreams
Daylight 4U2C May 2014
Like a bird caged in the sky,
without wings to fly.
Daylight 4U2C May 2014
It feels like i'm floating on thin air,
spinning,
drifting.
Wonder if i'm really here.
Shattered glass
makes stars that line the sky,
in every way,
and I don't even question why.
I'm a floater.
Floating on by.
I'm a drifter,
and I don't know why.
But I'm staring up
at this black glass sky,
that will welcome me at times.
Telling me it never really changes,
night is always night.
Cold yet warm,
and I don't know why.
Why I stare at this sky,
and call it a beauty.
Call it a saint.
Call it a home,
every now and then.
Why I float,
between it's stars,
that in my eyes,
don't seem that far.
Why I drift,
in it's cold warmth,
that hugs me,
embracing my inner all.
And I never ask why,
the cold warm sky,
is my stop sign,
while yet so vast.
After a long time, no sleep, just music (not even thoughts) I close my eyes, for my surrounding to change, and in my bed I sink, to my night sky's embrace. And I don't know why, I'm so different, or why they are all the same. All I know is they can't see the way I can.
