Lets begin!
Karisa Brown Oct 2018
Above the night
We force into
Great components
Of afterlife after afterlife

We sail down bridges
And escape
The tunnels end
Finding peace and solice
Where once there was
A war within

Lengthy
Eulogy

Box is cold
Light is thin

Would someone please
Let me the hell back in

Speak to me
Karisa Brown Nov 2019
Through the hourglass
Openings
Through the pebbles
Ripples
Open me
Up as if I were a gift
438 · Dec 2017
I
Karisa Brown Dec 2017
I
I spend all my days
Wanting and forgetting you
Leaving and breathing you

The absenent taste
Burns bitter
Like ashes
All around me
My teeth grin
With pain

My own absence
Ignores me
Then wakes
Me alive
Just to come
Back down

Why must I
Ever come down

When you are
My bed
Hurried dry dying
To become a
Strawberry stain
Rearranged

Path
Karisa Brown May 2018
How to invite;

Take a light
Pen it down
Write a movie
In your mind

Juggle thru the vines
Untangle the myseries
Unfold the petals
To find

Simplicity in words
And nature's sweet tune

Listen to the heart
It calls for you

Open up a prayer
Down beneath the earth
Ask the core
For the answers
You search

Follow up on scars
Heal them if you may
Ask for forgiveness
For them and yourself

Sing sweet harlows
Rapture in the dance
Wind rain fire
All make up your name
437 · Oct 2019
Halo voice
Karisa Brown Oct 2019
One day your voice
Will become your halo

Flowers n' Farts*
Karisa Brown Dec 2016
What a delicate
scent~
Once I lay upon
a petal
gazing toward
the east
When along came
a spider
and farted in my face.

TRUTH
Karisa Brown Aug 2019
I hide
In writing
I hide
In notes
I do whatever
To stay
Afloat

Of my surface

Introvert Paradise
Karisa Brown Dec 2017
Sometimes I feel alone
with only my stare
staring back at me
Where no one else can bother me
This is where I long to be

Transparency
Enlightenment high
Soon comes inside
Finds me alive

Nibbling at its feet
He raises my chin
Tells me to
Come with him

Collects my broken
Tea cups
And shows me
The beauty within

Where all my dreams
Still exist
And memory unfolds
As tales are told

Outside the fires ring
Inside a quiet library
I must seem to be
As you look back at me

Closing off
What use to be
Letting down walls
Letting passion bleed
Outside in

Over and over again
Repetitious halos
Swarm my empire

Golden light
Sparks the inner fire
Souls speak
Always speak
To me
From afar

Where will
We go next
408 · Dec 2018
Death
Karisa Brown Dec 2018
Why do you follow me
Bringing cold air unto
my night sky
Hopping upon my eyelids
Fluttering starkless
After the taste leaves
Sour and pure
Yet rotten and decitful
Traits upon trays
Served to the next one
In line

Death
Why have you
Come for me

You already tried
To **** me once
And that was enough sir
Thank you but
No thank you
I think I'll wait for
Another ride
This time

Love unburden me
I want to come home
406 · Jan 2018
Night lingering
Karisa Brown Jan 2018
He cast upon her
A spellbound hell
One that ripped
Her pages in half

He acknowledged
All the pain within her
Then threw them
Out into the night

He broke curfew
with the wind
Subsided his destiny
To sit with her
Waiting for the magic
To Begin

He whistled and she howled
No One ever heard such a sound
As the night lingering

A Mouth Full of Feet ;o
Karisa Brown Dec 2016
If I could paint your toes
in colors of feelings
pinkie would be pink with desire
king would be green with envy
middle would lie and cut off and bleed
pointer would disagree with king and
instead look at me
and tom, ha
tom would stick his whole
****** up family
inside my mouth
402 · Jan 2018
Aww
Karisa Brown Jan 2018
Aww
On the way
     I met her
On the way
     She called
My name
     Softly

On the way
     She told me
Not to worry

On the way
     She carried
Me down

Love, lies, deceipt
Karisa Brown Jun 2017
They are our illusions
They are our degree
The roots of what we step
Foot in
And the lack of unseen

Muderous tribes
Come to the feast
Sparing nothing less
Leaving only
Good intentions
397 · Aug 2018
NIGHT
Karisa Brown Aug 2018
Focus on footsteps
(the feeling
          indirect)   head clouds

Focus on loving each other
Focus on helping each other out
Family inside and out

You dont need your old ****
You Are Enough
You Are Strong
You Are Brave
You Are Intelligent
And plenty of love flows
Effortlessly through you
in All Directions
You are Spirit
You are Light
When I feel lost I have to find ways to shift my focus
I start with really good **** but need reminders thoughout the day
This helps me get away from the head game!

What is Ours
Karisa Brown Mar 2018
We are animalistic
Teeth on the edge
Of our overrated minds

Hey nobody said
Anythings wrong with that
Isn't it all just natural instincts

The inkling to deceive
What stands in our way
To get what is raw and poetic

To capture a taste
Of the purley ******

To be gods
Of our own making

Subtle and refined
I did not have in mind

Excuse me while
I reap a vengence

ADDICTION
Karisa Brown Feb 2018
If you only knew
The power I had
Over you

ADDICTION

If you hear
The verses
Wrap soft
Around your head

POET

Just in case
Someone hasn't
Told you
I'm taken

PURSUIT...

INTENTTION

To take half
Of what you've given me
And more from
What I'm making

KICK HABBIT

Do not feel defeat
Fear defeat
Look at it
Stab it
And say, "Here want some?"

Loose Change

Just another
Pent up broken game
Of why brothers
Can't play
White folks way

Wait we over
That trip
Or was we
Yeah anyway!

Just playin, lol
Y'all have a great day!

Just Me and The Verse
Karisa Brown Feb 2018
I didn't have time
to hit snooze
I was enthused
by my muse
Her name is
  POETRY

She crawls and beats
rhytms out my mouthpiece
It vibrates with such
a chase and win
with the narrative
of my pen

Gravity cushions
as I let
my body flow

I stand still
inside a quantum physics
Parallel universe
Just Me and The Verse

Will keep recycling

Profrality:
Karisa Brown Mar 2018
Profrality: the act of being profound in reality.
Karmellight ♦I just like the way it looks ♦
Parallel always there
Monster
CRAWLING in now
Jack o lantern
Laughing clown
Whoops too triggered
Back up
To dafodilles
No they're bad too
Go to pink pink horizons
Sleep
Now sleep
I'm the garden
You always weep
Now dream
Of peace
Breathe in fragrance
Of a different bread
One two three
Repeat.

Moonlight kiss
Karisa Brown Aug 2018
You wrote my heart
For the first time
With a sweet afterglow
Of moonlight kiss

After sunset
We found each other
And every single night
Thereafter

Now the window doesn't
Seem real
There's a fog
Instead of a thrill

I clean it back off
But I can't see through

Do you still happen
To have my heart
With you
377 · Jul 2018
State of normalcy

Lust

Common denominator
Portrayed witness
Lackless drive
Pure divine stationed
In this shallow heart of mine

Somewhere locked out of sight
I dive
372 · Jul 2019
Her stained
Karisa Brown Jul 2019
Rotten
Displaced silence
Took presidency
Over anything ever before
And never once again
Beginning to account from
Where she left

She flew for a minute
Then touched earth
And decided
It wasn't her cup of tea
Why sit with
The normals
Why retrace the
Same look
The same composure
She felt very much out of place

But look wait she said
There's a higher ground instead
I don't desire enough quit yet
Still I want to finish my making
I've forgotten a few steps
Along the way
See I've been undertaken
By hardships
And bills and kids and life
Its all taking a very long
To allow and to claim
And to find myself some piece of mind
All my own
I had completly forgotten who
I was
The black brain void I called it
Sepped in one night and she forgotten
How to leave it
So she stood there
Frozen
Running in place
Not making a silent
Yet screaming nothing
All day

The empty took hold of her and made a martyer out of a prince
The principals thumb ruled her own
Hell she Forgot she even had a voice
369 · Aug 2018
Grow not
Karisa Brown Aug 2018
Grow not
In the vases

They deflower us
They pick us

Let us grow
Roots touching
Mother earth

This soil
Is fertile
And vivid
in the rain

Zygote star
Karisa Brown Feb 2018
Her moon
Ignited flares
To me

Each night
I looked up
Shook the star dust
Off my body
And sang for her

I was her given
I was sent here
To make her life

To keep her alive
To vacate
My soul
And become her second breath

She was my tower
The one
That no one
Can destroy

My stregnth
Built her
Long long ago

We were split
zygote
Me and her

Empty
Yet filled
Companions

Opposite as
Light and earth

What she now
Knew
Becomes ever
Present

The hevanly
Sent qualities
She now possesses

We're her Beginning
Her end
Her essence
366 · Mar 2018
Last nights din
Karisa Brown Mar 2018
What she wonders
What is it now
What do you want from me
You grovel at my feet
Hoping to be fed
I have no more to give you
Last night's bread
was all there was

These orphan lots
Set beneath me
Spend nights awaking
the dead things
That I sleep in

They crawl beneathe my veins
Hidden in shame
I drown thee
With perfect obligatory
With knives
Held captive
And needle poked in eyes thread

These words become jummbled
So I throw them up instead
Melt me many men
Have them come in
Shake off their grievances
Give thanks for what's been

Wonder if you might
You might just
Give them a fright
365 · Mar 2018
Other half
Karisa Brown Mar 2018
You ever felt
Your other half
The person so rare
Made only for you

Their energy
The exact compliment
Their words
Already set in stone

Their wheat
Fielded earlier
When you and I
First began

This was many
Many meetings
Before and after

You never forget
Your other half
362 · Sep 2017
Night arest
Karisa Brown Sep 2017
At night
My heart
Sang to you

That even
The moon
Slipped down
A silioquint tear

Holding on to
What ifs

Drawing on
Heart pounding

Maybe now
You'll feel
Me drowning

Jail !emonic
Karisa Brown Mar 2017
Hounds curl up against my throat
Like a sinking anchor
Going under!?
He cares again to whisper

Silent sweet satanic hummmms
None like other ones
None like ever before

He wrestles me down
Bellowing screams inside my
Belly

Eyes a flutter
Body transcendent
The fear too highly grounded
To ever lift up to another
As I had before

Come sit beside
The open door
Devilish curiousity
Takes over me
As it had
Many moons before

Wondering
Giving
Impatiently ashamed
Too scared
Curiosity core

Release the inner beast
Drums hummms of ****** beginnings
into the wild nature of the earth

Calling you down
Below your very own surface
A small light
You will always hold
To the sounds
Of wanting more

Religious frustrations
A hideaway oasis

Laughter unknowing
Face unshowing
361 · Jan 2018
Sticky . black
Karisa Brown Jan 2018
Where do
Tar pits end?
At the room

Are all that's left
A sign tales vacancy
That's all that's
Left of me
Until tomorrow repeats

OM

OM
We are all
In shapes of
Musical notes

Each a different pitch,
Played at an
unique level
And tone

Vibrating all together
in the distance

Wrong?
Karisa Brown Oct 2017
I got these feelings
I can't freely explain
One of explosion
One off uninting
And one I haven't
Even Sat fire in

But you're there
In all my belongings
In my etchings
My longing
My reminiscing

Is it wrong
That I dont truly
understand
What you
Mean to me

You mean
All The sunflowers
Wilted from the
Springs bleeding

And ice aroma
Crept up my nose
And I sneeze
Them away

Because you
Unearth me
Stepped foot
On my soil

I think you
Reached up
Before the
Roots grew here

Far off
In a constellation
Of galleries
You were
To me

Somewhere between
Sweet sunlight bliss
And a never-ending
Moonlite lust
For his
Beating blues
To kiss
354 · Feb 2019
To sing
Karisa Brown Feb 2019
Cry to me
So I can soften
Your heart
Beat for me
Until nightfall

I will sit
With you
I watch you
Moan and tremble
Under short breath

You will feel safe
Held under my wings
My branches are here
To comfort you
Rooted in spirits
Of overflowing love
And acceptance

My will is
To make you sing
Turn off the noise
And find a way to belong
To listen to your own song

I will never leave
You have me in your heart
And yours in mine
We are one
For eternity

The hour glass
Karisa Brown Dec 2018
The deception came easily
The yellow brick road and all its poets
Followed
She had them by the coat tails
Pulling them this way and that
Begging for mercy when she had done bad
Manican like motions
Soon followed
Plastered silly putty smile
Washed over
her veneers and pearly
White gates
Of tragedy poetically
Hallucinate through the glass
351 · Dec 2018
Protected christening
Karisa Brown Dec 2018
I want to be cresened
By your sunlight lips
Fornicated by your doubts
Insecure and pure
Saturated in hues unknown
Lingering
Over me
Protecting the innocent

Move through me
Like energy against the water
Or light it on fire
Either one
Is suited just for you

You are the tailor
The maker
The storm and the desire

Your lingering over yourself
Protecting the innocent
Don't worry
This place is safe for you

Monsters Beware
Karisa Brown Jan 2019
The members
Renounce in peace
The idols are there
Still staring
In silence

Monsters beware
We are now
Violent
348 · May 2018
Brave nonsense.
Karisa Brown May 2018
Her hair blossomed
Orange lilacs
Underneath her
Firey stare

She performed magic
In another's eyes
And made them
Disappear

She held tight to
The rhythm that night
Then too let it
Slip away

Why the grasp she was
So hungerly needing
Why the long face

My bravest
Youre in love
With a ghost
You must erase
347 · Nov 2017
Minds £¥£
Karisa Brown Nov 2017
Her eyes
Begin to flutter
Sterile lights flash by
Then drift

She sinks into
An open canvas
Where I catch her
In my memory spawn

Such a gentle
Nature I use
To get close
To her

Then I sit
Watch her
Listen to her murmmer

Existing somewhere
Between the papers
Paints and daffodils

Loving every moment
As hand reaches
Out to me

She wants me to
Drift with her
And just to
Exist

Nothing more
Nothing less

Apple Lips
Karisa Brown Aug 2018
Her lips wrote
Vuernability
All over the walls
Shook down all
The Apples
And let them fall
Picked them up
One by one
Tasted them
Remembered each lesson
Straight down to the core
345 · Jul 2018

Love's Lock Down
Karisa Brown Dec 2016
You've released
in me a passion
and I can't resist
the satisfaction
of coming under
your spell

You have me
you've locked
me there!

Thinking...
Karisa Brown Dec 2016
Wasting my day again
Over thinking
All my problems
And asking myself
How I can fix them
Instead of acting
I'm stuck in a loop
Thinking...

Through is lost
Karisa Brown Sep 2017
You downgraded yourself
For the sake of humanity
Get off your knees
And come with me
No more games
No lies
No flaws

Lay burdens beside cross
Fly underneath
Through is lost
Notes to self

Where do you run?
Karisa Brown Aug 2018
What common forms
Do you flow from

Down stairs or from above
Or in your own galaxies
Do you run?

What's on your lips
Cotton candy
Or sour gumdrops

Do you savor each flavor
Or simply let them drop
Like acid on paper
Like rain from above

Where is your gravity
Where do you run?
