I wish i could write to make you see,
how much i love you,
but don't you know the blind can't read?
Darkness skies, blackened eyes
Heart torn shut from silent cries
Silk and wool, vicious pull
Try I to fall in the null
I live (that’s good)
I feel (that’s not)
Soul is spoiling, painful rot
Break my being!
Let go.
You not seeing
Thought so.
I scream in anger; not at you
But at your failure to see true
These screams will never see the air
Because too much for you I care.
Broken understanding
Meaning dead on landing.
My love for you is not that kind!
You thought it was; disturbed your mind.
Frightening mirror I saw in you
For mine defiled, yours like new
Drawn was I to your pure heart
Nothing else had any part.
I understand why shy you do,
For I gave wrong hints and clue.
My lines blurred,
Speech well slurred
Mistakes were mine (rest assured).
I meant to protect you
But not unaware subject you
To myself,
The broken mirror.
"Loved, Not Loved" was torn to pieces by a friend of mine who actually knows poetry, but we both agree that rules aside, it's a good poem. At least, I thought it was good. x]
This poem was written September 8, 2011.
You see me! You see me!
But then again you don’t
You see me! You see me!
And then again you won’t

It’s hard to see who is me
‘Cause me is never found
I’m here I’m there I’m ev’rywhere
But yet I’m not around

You hear me! You hear me!
But then again you don’t
You hear me! You hear me!
But then again you won’t

If up is there and down is here
Then here is down and out
But I’m not here, no nor there
So find me when I shout!

You know me! You know me!
But yet again you don’t
You know me! You know me!
And yet again you won’t

If he is me and I am him
And still you do not know
Then your light is very dim!
‘Cause me I always show

You see me! You hear me!
And both you do not do
You know me! You’ve found me!
But still you have no clue
This poem was written a long time ago. I don't remember when. I wrote initially wrote it as a taunt to a friend I was messing with, but then my mother pointed out that it actually describes me quite well.
Watching new men die
For ideals of the old
We live we live we live
Yet die.
And for what?
Forgotten dreams of dead men
Who we found still float.
Do you understand that death is not our enemy
That our enemies aren't our ******* enemies
That that religion isn't any different from this one.
We wait for our savior to do our ugly work
To sweep these nightmares under the rug.
We watch as our brothers and sisters are *****
And drugged and killed.
We watch as our children become the rapists
The druggies and the dead
We watch as we become victims
As the world spins madly on
As love rots in or own hands
Because we watched.
How is this a world we choose to live in.
How is this a way to teach our children.
How is this our choice!
Because we don't know we have a choice
We don't know it's okay to feel
To cry
To scream
To laugh!
We don't know because it's not what we teach.
We don't know
And we won't know until we decide to help each other
When we learn to help ourselves.
Then we can teach our kids
Then we can change
Then we can choose.

an automatic response, an unimagined answer.
is that really what I want?

true love would be nice.
someone to hold hands with,
to share uncensored passion with.
I didn’t answer that.

the right job would suffice.
a feeling of being needed,
bankruptcy not needed.
I didn’t answer that.

I told her I wanted to

get away

from here.  

She wanted to know

where

but I didn’t know,
didn’t care.
            
         only far     

far

from home

But more,
to find a Place where

i belong.


the words flew from my mind,
evading my brain,
involving my mouth.
There's a hole in my head
where the wind comes in.

There's a hole in my head
where certain sounds leak out.

There's a hole in my head
where sin comes in,

My whole head burns and I just found out.

There's a hole in my head
where my words slur out,

Most of the time I'm the only one who knows what I'm talking about.

There's a bowl on my head
where you can put advice in.

There's a scroll in my head
to write it all out.

There's a troll in my head so no one finds out.
As Kids
We run up the down escalator
And down the up escalator
Enjoying
Playing
Living our days happily
Now
As adults
We walk up the up escalator
And down the down escalator
To get places faster
To do work
No more joy
No more play
But sometimes
If you look closely
Once in a while
You can see a flicker of joy
Across an adults face
Hurrying to the almost departing train
Doing their own little victory dance
When they make it before the doors close
Then they sit
And get back to the office
To get back to their desk
To get back to life
And it’s gone
And it remains just a glimpse into their past
As they sit
And make a future for themselves.
Written while riding a MARTA train. Fall 2010
When will I see you again?
Feel your heartbeat?
Desire is an ache
A lonely, endless path,
that is paved through deep dreams at night
and gazing into the sky each day.
It is painfully concealed,
and many people never reach the end.
Edgeless days are the hardest
to let pass you by
as you stare at all the pretty things
Just out of sight.

There sits, heavy in atmosphere,
On these days of no ends,
A timelessness
in the most tragic way.

All your toiling
begins to feel useless,
and errors make a mess of this.
Your anger - Instantly boiling

Futile barking.
Damning non-existent gods,,
And then a mocking laughing-
Since you are alone.

Because, of course,
You are alone,
Chained to the room
They're paying you to
|
When the crushing
Endlessness to your day
Could be so easily been remedied
with conversation or, some play

And now those gods
are laughing.
And you wish to be alone
                     From yourself.
Of long, hard days of work.
