I got caught in the rain today
It didn’t pour
But just enough that everyone wanted to get out of its way
But not me
I didn’t run or flee
I walked as it painted the pavement grey
With each step
The water droplets latched themselves on my clothes and onto my hands
They laid down the hairs on my arms
And darkened my pants
And even though my clothes were starting to get soak
I still walked as it continued to rain
Because it’s the one few times
That I feel at peace
devante moore Dec 2014
These eyes see all
There's nothing you can hide from me
I see the pain in your words
The frustrating In your eyes
I can see the way you bite your tongue when you talk
Why don't you let the words you holding back free
I can see the hurt in your smile
The suffering in your tears
Some things you can't hide
These eyes see all except one thing
Your love for me
War
devante moore Jul 2015
War
Walking over empty gun sells
The battlefield decorated with creators
Ground still sizzling from the bombs let loose
Vacant magazine lay in piles
Two forces holding nothing back
Letting bullets fly
Will do anything to claim victory
White flags turned to ash
This is a fight to the death
But before this all started
They had one enemy
The world
When love was around they had each others back
But it dwindle
Now they aim at each other
With no love
Each other they attack
Now this relationship is war
devante moore Jan 2015
I can feel the waves crashing
As I float beneath the sea
Motionless
Gliding with the currents
Carrying me over the rugged rocks
As my body is shredded I dare not scream
That would just be wasted breath
Air I desperately need
So I take the pain
Without a fight  
I remain motionless
And just watch the waves
devante moore Nov 2017
Well if that's true
The love I deserve
Isn't on the menu
So I'll take the loved that's been rubbed in the dirt
Bruised and beaten
The love that's been hurt
Left out in the blistering sun
Dried out on the lawn
I'll take the love that's been frozen over
And constantly thawed out
The love I deserve can't be found
So I'll take the the love that's been abused
And overused
Stepped and stomped on
Like a welcome mat
I'll take the love no one wants around
devante moore May 2015
What are we
I can't put this in a title
Technically this we
Isn't as solid as we'd like it to be
My dreams are more real then you and me
At times I'm confused
Abusing my brain
Tidal waves of rushing emotions flood in
I often think this is just a ruse
Faking each other out
The I love you doesn't out weigh the conflicts
It's just another counterfeit  
This we is just a contorted painting
Of a gremlin trying to scratch it's blind spot with a rubber stick
It just don't make sense  
How it will end just adds up the suspense
But it's predictable like a stencil
This we has already been drawn In
Written In pen
By the holy man
Maybe it is he who can tell me
What is the we,
We like to call you and me
I just don't see how it's been 5 months sense you last called me
And expect me just not to up and leave
But I guess it's the dream of we that keeps me
Now I see why people name there daughters hope
But I have a knife to hopes throat
Threatening it not to go
But another 365 days of this
And this we that we conjured up
Just can't be
Because I still don't know what we are
devante moore Feb 2015
What if I never said I love you
Where would we be?
Would you be with someone different
Would you even love me
What if that day I did let you go
Would you have came back
Would you say you couldn't live without me
What if I left you
How would you react
Would you tell me to stay
What if we never met
How happy would you be
What if that break I took lasted more then three days
How long would you have waited
What if I never said I like you
Where would you be
Would you still be with him
Would you have ever admitted your feelings for me
What if I chose her over you
Where would I be
What if we never met
How happy with you be
What if I never said I love you
devante moore Jul 2018
I don’t understand destiny
And all this everything happens for a reason
It just seems like a bad excuse to accept how things are

So if you stumble upon a dog and it’s dying
Do you watch it die
And say It was meant to die
Or do you do whatever you can to save it
But then again we’re you destined to find the dog?!
Crap
Lol this is what happens when I decide to stay home and not go to work
devante moore Jul 2015
I love you
But what I've got to do
Will hurt more then the fighting do
This has been coming to a end
I rather lose you then stay and hurt you
We've been drifting apart
Torn from each other by a rippling current
I want to work this out
But we both unfamiliar with change  
We were a long written love play that's been stuck in intermission for to long
This relationship is unhealthy
We both hurting
We both un happy
Even though this may hurt you
I think it's best we go out separate was
Two different shades of color that didn't blend well
It's not something I want to  
Our love has been stained grey  
Went tumbling off the edge of a waterfall
To risky to recover
What I've got to do
Can't be done by you
devante moore Dec 2014
Love is a trip
A rollercoaster you don't mind getting sick
The feeling of it makes you feel alive
The person you feel it for makes you paralyze
One word makes you memorized
The look in there eyes says 1000 words
Its all love no hate
The feeling of love keeps you up late
Time is infinite
Love defeats pain
But the memory still lives on in her brain
Love is the map to her heart
Whether or not ill make it there
Now that's the scary part
Ok I'm getting off track
Lets get back on the love path
Love is so many things
Yet there's on one word for it
Its funny
It can be cute an cuddly like a bunny
It can be more powerful then any storm
**** u in like a tsunami
If you ain't ready you'll drown
Lost in it never to be found
Love is forever
But nothing is
devante moore Mar 2015
A poet is able to make you feel their words
Just my opinion
devante moore Feb 2015
Laying on this cold steel
That lead me into this tunnel
Seems like it goes on forever
Its pitch black fills the empty emotions
The vibration of the steel
Wakes a sleeping heart
Pumping muddy blood through my veins
Rotting my bones
Killing my nerves
Manufacturing thoughts
Only for them to get lost in the dark
In this tunnel
They don't go far
There's no light for them to cling to
So they haunt me
Wanting a reason to be
The agitated steel vibrates stronger
Rattling my teeth  
Forcing me to search for the source of its movements
An as I stumble through the darkness
A stream of light flows through the tunnel
A glimmer of hope
But then it's ripped away
By a shocking revelation
By the train that's coming for me
devante moore Mar 2015
You will forget to remember me
But you will remember to forget me
I will be a distant memory you don't have
You would've forgotten all the times I made you laugh
The times I made you blush
The caged butterflies in your stomach have flown away
I would be a piece of paper you crumbed up an tossed out  
Letters torn in half stained velvet red from your tears
When I'm gone another will be there
To help you forget about me walking away
All the carnage I've cause
would be whipped away by the other
Taming your sadness
Making you smile again
My voice would only be water vapor in the air
The time we spent would be erased
When I'm gone I know you'll rejoice
You'll finally be free
From the thought of me
devante moore Mar 2015
It all started in high school
Man I was a fool back then
Wanting to find that sweet heart
So ready to be committed
To the forces unseen
And spend all four years with my boo
Then I met you
First day already trying to impress
Hoping to leave a everlasting effect
And like a test I past
Sitting next to each other now in class
Laughing, flirting having a blast
Every one said we should be
But then you betrayed me
There was another
And you wanted me to be the back up
Your plan B
And since that day you change me
Into the guy I am
You change my life in the worst way
Girls I don't trust them
Only use them
I could never love them
An enemy to my own emotions
Cuffed them and threw them in the back seat
Put them behind bars
There's sentence an eternity without love
With no bail
Meet a girl give her hell
Then move on to the next female
Oh well guess this is how it's got to be
Plus my friends and no good dad were so proud of me
Playa playa
That's what the called me
But playing this game
Drains the brain
Guess if I never met you
The world would've never known the worst part of me
And now it begins
devante moore Nov 2015
This is what I want to go out to
With a pen
In my palm
As I choreograph each line
For the last time
Hoping what I write fills you of me
One last poem one final time
Powerful enough you can hear the rhyme
As the words project from the screen
So you can visualize what I mean
And as I take my last breath
I'll leave it unfinished for the next
devante moore Jan 2015
When the day comes kiss your kids goodbye
Pack up your things with your heads held high
And try not to cry
Cause we got to be strong
Put on a tough face an promise your love ones your coming back home
Cause it'll be us on the front lines
Us who will be the first to hear the bullets fly
And the rockets and tanks
Out here where just a number
Same thing back home
If you think they care our lives on the line
Your horribly wrong an a lil naive
It's us who will be in the trenches fighting for their lives
Because their to priceless to fight an die
They have to many things to loose
They have a lot to prove
But so do we too
Some of us are fighting for the promise of a big financial break
To put food on our babies plate
To stop the bank from taking
Maybe they will train us
And give us a way to survive
Or maybe it's a way to get rid of us
To deplete or population
We outweigh them
But still there on top
They control the flow of money
While our wells run dry
So when that day comes
It's us who's on the front lines
Trying to provide for the ones we love back home
And it's not like we have a choice
We are the ones picked first
But we don't back down
Be ready
When the rich wage war it's the poor who die
devante moore Feb 2018
Ground quaking
The rails rattle
Pebbles jumping
Panic written as a bad punchline on the conductors face
So he yanks the chain link lever
And blast the horn
It rings in my ears like a siren
As he aims it at my face
Hoping to invoke enough fear in me
That’ll make me move out of my place
And even though
The light at the end of the tunnel is closing in
It doesn’t raise the hair on my skin
Because I’m plague with thoughts from within
Repeatedly playing over and over again
Where are you now that I need you
devante moore Jan 2015
Where did I go?
Well if you must know
I'm here right here
In the lines you read
These words your reciting
I made myself apart of this poem
Now we are one in the same
I put a piece of me in these anyway
Why not go all the way
Imprinted here
Forever I'll stay
If you ever need me or wonder where did devante go
I'm here right here
In between these sentence
I am each word
So now you know
devante moore Jan 2016
Who am I
I thought I knew
But now I don't have a clue
I seem to have lost myself
Like a book missing from its shelf
Not to be read
But removed
A book that shouldn't have been written
Before I thought I was a kind person
I must have been kidding
Yes I was designed to solve others pain
But now I've become accustomed to using what you tell me against you
Sharing your deepest feeling and fears will just be in vain
Wanted to be a problem solver
But I just create more
I wanted to be the one everyone trust
Conquer anger
But couldn't defeat my own
Once thought I was a confidence booster
It became my job like a career
But I knew ******* with words
So suddenly And in a flash
Like a car you didn't see coming from your rear
Thought I was the person who was suppose to feel
But inside I'm cold
Who am I
devante moore May 2015
Who better for you then me
Who's going to love you unconditionally
When the path gets to rugged for you to walk on
Who's going to carry you like me
Tell me who could love you like I do
Who can fight with you then be ready to die for you like me
I can build you up
After I tear you down
Dress your face up In a smile
When it's been wearing a frown
Who's going to kiss the sun goodnight
Only to be there when it awakes from its sleep
Just to talk to you
Who will get angry like me when we don't speak
Who's going to get upset that your not here when I'm sleep
Almost 2 years in the making
Who's going to put a ring on your vacant finger
I need to know who better for you then me
devante moore Aug 2015
Why do we write
Maybe to help us fight
To express with words
Maybe to show everyone an insight
To show what we've been through
A way for you to pull through
Is this an outlet for you
Or just harmless fun
Why do we write
Is it to show the world what you stand for
Maybe to express
Trying not to repress the angry,bitterness and sadness within you
This is how we escape
Get away from what's hurting you
Our own never land
Built in our minds
Shown like blue prints through the lines you read
Our own Galaxy we create
Out of pain we make
Through struggle these words were conceived
Why do we write
Who knows just read
devante moore Jun 2016
He's lost
Stumbling
Pine cones crushing beneath his feet
Getting whipped by the trees
Covered in cuts
From the spiky leaves he brushed
In a rush
Running from trust
He's being chased
Hunted
His life is on the line
Gasping out of breath
He can't be caught
He rather be lost
devante moore Apr 2015
Watch how quickly it spreads
Already it took the flower beds
It runs rapid
Building in the breeze
Taking down tree after tree
Destroying everything
Separating bees from there wings
An feathers from birds
Somethings just can't escape these flames
The Forrest seems to scream
Cracking of wood
Meeting the ground
Crackling leafs
The whipping of fire
The intensified heat leaves everything  charred
Ashes rain from above
And as I flee the scene
I abandoned the book of matches I brought with me
devante moore Feb 2018
I’m a cowboy
Chasing the sunset
No breaks
No rest
No intermissions to catch my breath
Hand on the neck of my whip
Choking It until my fingers turn red
The sound, so satisfying so crisp
As it rips through the hairs of my steed
Provoking it
To use it’s full speed
On a crying horse I ride
Birds above screech
They’re feathers falling from the sky
Possession, abandoned on the dusty plain
This is the path of my own choosing
I pray the lord my souls to keep
Because i plan not to make it home
I’m a cowboy
That chases the sunset
And I’ll continue to
Until I’m dead
Or until it makes me feel alive
A friend of mind say reading this confused her :) I guess it only makes sense in my head
-P.s if you think you know what it’s about I’d like to know your thoughts :)
devante moore Jan 2015
I want to fly
Go so high until you can't see me
And it's these wings I bought
That pulls the strings
They control me
And even if I reach the boundaries where there's no oxygen left oh well
I'll hold my breath till there nothing left
As long as they take me
Towards the heavens
Further away
Above the clouds
The higher I go the more I want to know
Expel your secrets
Why do we act this way
And treat each other less then men
Just cause you an I don't share the same skin color
Why were the first two made without clothes
And if they didn't **** up would this world still be ****** up
I don't know
Guess these things are broke
Cause there going in the wrong direction
I just want to go
And bring back a simple message
But I'm going to go where ever theses wings take me
And just know it'll be one hell of a ride
devante moore Aug 2020
If I told you how i feel
Would you really listen
Blood gushes from a fresh wound
Melting the snow
When struck by the sun it glistens
Thoughts run wild
Fear a wolf that roams free
Cornered
And it has me back to a tree
Mouth tented red
Pieces of me missing
Wedge in between its teeth
Panting hides it’s face behind a veil of steam
Strands of fur sticks to my hands
Proof I withstood the attack
It sits
As I slump to the ground
Eyes fixated on me
I can sense it’s frustrated
Shifting its feet
Unsure what to do
Because if it kills me
It would cease to exist too
devante moore Jan 2015
The snow fell harder this winter
Without you here to control its weather
The wind icy
Stifling my breathing
The trees not properly dress
There branches freeze over
Bushes forgetting there snow caps
Drenched in the powdery snow
Winter unforgiven without you
Windows brittle from the frost
Heart cold as ice
Blood replaced by snowflakes
Mounds of snow stops me from leaving
But there's beauty deep in this pain
White dresses the land
Like a bride ready to get hitched
But who wants to get married away
With the howling wind
Guiding more chilly snow
Now I'm really caved in
Glaciers breaking around me
Shedding there icy sickles
Creating an icy prison to put me in
devante moore Jan 2016
Frog legs and boiled eggs
Hair from an ogre
A bone from a rats shoulder
Rabbits feet and a 1000 year old dragons teeth
I can smell the odor of what's brewing on the stove
Oozing from the crock ***
A potent potion
Made to bewitched with one sip
A touch of it on your lips
And you slip under its spell
Thoughts of your own expelled
As you fall deeper
From the concoction
Your world turned upside down
As your bound from this liquid drug
That gave you the case of the love bug  
Once you consumed the cursed beverage
You found love but not In the right way
And from the drink I took a sip
That you slipped infront of me
devante moore Apr 2018
My demons are like wolves
They run in a pack
Snarling and growling
Ready to attack
And the hairs on their back
Stand up like blades of grass
Foaming at the mouth
Snapping their teeth  
And biting at my feet
No matter how far apart my strides
I can’t outrun them
Anymore then I can outrun the sun
That streaks across the morning sky

I’ve lasted this long
But the hunt is still on
Cries for help
Get lost in the night
Blood leaks from rotted bites
Wounded from past fights
The woods stained red
All over the branches, leaves and trees
Even on the twigs that snap underneath my feet
And ever so often
If you’re close enough
You can hear echos of my shrieks
Whispering through the air
Because now one has ahold of me
It’s teeth rips and tear at my flesh
I can tell as I scratch at its eyes
It’s goal is my demise
Canines all the way to the bone
And as I look back
Here comes the pack
I must free myself
Of what has a hold of me
Because if I don’t..

We all saw how Alice clumsily fell down that hole into wonderland
But I ponder an wondered could there have been another hole leading to another land ?
One that she couldn't see
How deep could this rabbit hole be
I wonder what strange things we would see
Maybe a two headed dog
Or a cat that croak like a frog
How strange would this undiscovered land be?
Would there be horses the size of nails?
Would they have snails that weren't so frail ?
Could the move faster then the speed of lightning?
Would there be an ice ring you can wear around your fingers ?
Or maybe twinkies would have eyes
A dragon chasing its tail
Would the sky be more then one color ?
Would there even be gravity ?
Could you only talk if you didn't walk An could you walk only of you didn't talk
How strange would that be
All of this down a second rabbit hole
Into another land more stranger and more wonderful
Then wonderland
How deep would this second rabbit hold go
devante moore Apr 2018
I’ve hurt enough
At the point of giving up
But when I look in your eyes
And catch a glimpse your smile
You make me forget
I got the worse luck with love

Now I realize
You are my healing
The first and the last
Could we trust In destiny
I can’t see the end of this
I just want to feel your kiss
Just one time on my lips
I realize how much I need you
And how much I love you
devante moore Jun 2015
My wrath could move mountains
Conquer the tallest Titan
Bone shattering like the bite of a crocodile
It's everlasting
Longer the the Nile
When it's unleashed its vile  
Jagged  
Unpredictable
More unpleasant then a rotten smell
From a corps a flamed in hell
The devil dwells
Swells as he feast
On this beast
Looking to cause pain
It's inflictions are like cuts from a rusted knife
Eyes blood shot red
Logic has fled
The only mission is to hurt
It pours down like ashes from a slumbering volcano
Awaken and anything in its path mistake for a target
Bargaining on failed attempts
The demons swim in the rage
Wraths locks has been weakened an shaken loose
But this only the beginning
The door is still close
Once its open who knows
devante moore Dec 2014
Scribble this out
I can't think of anything to say
Another bald up paper I threw away
The trash is filled with them
Piled high
I feel like I could scale them my own Mount Everest
But I can't reach its peak
I haven't reached my full potential
My peak, no pun intended
Filled with empty thoughts an lost words
That don't go together
But I got to leave these people amazed
Got to have them baffled and scratching there heads
Leave them vexed
Use words I don't even know the meaning too
Thought I did this for me
No
In the end it was always for you, all of you
And now I don't know what to say
devante moore Dec 2016
Her kisses where so passionate
That she use to bite my lips
And wherever her hands would lay
She would tighten her grip
The love she felt
Burned in her eyes
And I could see it on her face
There was no mistake
I was the one she loved
Love(d)
Past tense
Now when we kiss
It's like I'm kissing a ghost
One peck
And that's it
The word passionate wouldn't even come close
When we hugged
The way she held me
And how she buried her head in my arms
Made me never want to let go
I miss them
And in a way I'm still holding on
Hugging her
Even though she's not really there
Somewhere along the way
Something went wrong
And it affected the way
We hug and kiss
devante moore Apr 2015
You don't even know how hard it was to let you go
The feeling of it was like I was being chocked
Like someone put a noose around my throat
And tried to push me over the edge
Now I'm standing at ledge
But I step away
I won't jump for you
My soul I save
If you only knew
I'm already over you
Cast away the thought of you
To an island
Ship wrecked
Hope it befriends a ball
An talks to the wall
You don't even know
How hard it was to let you go
devante moore Nov 2015
I would've told you that love at first sight
Was just a bad joke for me to laugh at
But it was a disease that infected me
Your hello was full of love
And it cornered me
Wrapped my in its grip
Unwilling to let go
Your hello was full of joy
And it filled me with happiness
I only laughed when you were around
Your hello was magical
All I could see in my future was you
But now that your gone
Your hello has become a curse
There's still a remnant of you
You had me at hello
Until you said goodbye
devante moore Mar 2015
When the rage has consumed my thoughts
When anger sits just beneath the surface ready to exploded like lava
When the acid smoke chokes the good out of me
When I can no longer think straight
When all the good I've done has died in vein
Just one word can set off a new feeling of pain
When I've scared you to the point where it won't heal
My words stained you like stainless steel
You know it's over
When I feel happiest when you say goodbye
I only can think straight
When you leave the room
There's so much love I could give
But there's too much anger that holds me
Its like a **** keeping the happiness back
You know it's over when I've given up
When your the prize in a amusement park I just can't win  
You know it's over
When every time I write about you
My heart bleeds through the pen

All this pain
This loneliness
The feeling of being ashamed

You’ll get over it

Hello?
Is there anyone there
Of course not
You’re use to being alone

You’ll get over it

You haven’t cried in awhile
But inside
There’s a raging storm
Your heart has being sobbing for years for months for weeks  

You’ll get over it

You hate your heart
Because although it beats
Life isn’t reproduced as it thumps
When’s the last time you felt alive
Inside your dying
Inside your foul

You’ll get over it

You search desperately for comfort
You want to be loved
But when she left
She took the part that made you feel, the part that made you human the part that made you real
Now you’re just an empty shell
A zombie
Searching for flesh

You’ll get over it

You regret ever letting people get close
Thought you were tough and strong
But deep down when they left
It hurt you the most
You wished you never fell in love
It caught a hold of you
Trapped you, like a fish In a net
Got addicted
When it finally had its fun with you and left
You couldn’t take it

You’ll get over it

You’re broken
And emotionally wrecked
Can’t decide if you wanted to be fix
Or maybe not being able to feel is for the best
You’ve been empty for so long
By the end of this

You’re already over it
Lil *** vert-the way life goes...

I can't remember you being around for my birthdays
Then again you were absent on my birth day Since the beginning you were a no show
If you wanted to be a dad that's never seen
You did it so well
If you wanted to be around
I couldn't tell
There's no wish in a well
That's could wish this well
You can't fix a broken relationship that was never there
There's no love for you that can be found
Shot dead
Then hung underground just to be sure
What I feel for you
There is no cure
Your empty promises held a lot of weight
But only a child holds on to hate
Hope you don't think your a good father
Even if you tried its to late
You were a dad but in the worst way
devante moore May 2016
Putrid flesh
Walking
More like stumbling
Down the street
Groaning
And moaning
Searching for live meat
As it drags its half decomposed feet
Leaving a trail of rotted blood
That ooze from the gaps in its teeth
Splashing on the concrete
I watch it walk on by
Passing me
No life in its dead eyes
No breath taking from its exposed lungs
Hanging from its rib cage
But why didn't it try to eat me alive
I am alive
Aren't I?

— The End —
