I go to some meetings
they are meant to help

but all I feel like is a scope
of a presence coming through

a following of all the lives
that people live to them selves

coming out in the open
weighing down everyone's own individual loan
NAMi, suicide awareness

You sit by the screen
Waiting for life's demean
I come to stay
To show you a way
As the hours go by
I hope to keep you by my side
You don't look to the past
Just hold fast
These beautiful days
So mother you can still say
All the things we need to hear
K Brooks Aug 2020
I see them topped off
Around the ring
A group of them
Just sitting in

The magic of the mushroom thing.
mushroom rings.

We weren't born from
an estranged time
we were born with
our hearts and our pride
we do not stuff out flames
but rise for protection
we were not mind washed
in school but taught to listen
we do not use for our
own understanding but for humane

We are more than lines
and borders or boundaries, connected
we are united as a cause
to stay together in peace
we are here
we are hope
we are home.
K Brooks Aug 2020
it looks as though a new home will be home
as a dandelion changes so does the seasons

leaving my families abode
may have the real reason

to stay in a place that is welcome.
Home searching poetry.
K Brooks Jan 2019
We sang
And laughed
And drank the wine

Without knowing tomorrow’s lines...

another chapter begins
a new one, being friends
three in a row
three for a blow
nice to meet you
you're so new
what's your wish
to feel bliss?
god I hope this is the start of love
because it's like you came from above
to help and save
not being naive
you're so cool, you're so sweet
I'm so glad that we did meet

Was a hard time in a teenage girls life unrequited love, attempted suicide and her mind out of line

It was a cold winter morning and she was shaking again
the sun lit up the baseball field like an angel playing again

Smoke surrounded me like a cloud of exhaust
I was exhausted of feeling this way
I wanted out of my own mind, out of this thing called life

one date ago
one day ago

my heart was confused
separated by two

love for both
doesn't satisfy my thirst
need for it
doesn't satisfy my hurt

love for both
doesn't help my worth
need for it
doesn't help my mirth

one day ago
one date ago

Where in the world
have the owls flown off to
not a single one in view

Evidence of a strange encounter
in light of another side
live on for it, forward

Soap and dip in tune
Love and laughter needed
for a simpler light's hue
K Brooks Jun 2020
I'm sorry to be writing on you.
I know the indentions
can be tough
Will sombré be enough.
American love is true

We just wanna stay where we are
normally functioning
unwistfully listening
Level willed to the earth

Ladders incompletely climbing
in front of stairs that seem
impossible to walk on, sometimes
This tundras just in our minds

We seal the deal
underneath wandering times
not invoking questioning ones
Simply staying in our place

In a group homeliness is sometimes tired to find
work in short hours of the day
in the long late ones of the night
we'll stay crisp in the trying times

underneath the lines that others
pronounce towards each other
we do not want to bander
instead we try to work together

On coure;
Read on;

Vines grow
In distinct forms
In a life Everleading
For written meaning
With tombs everleading
Strife forms meaning
With undergrowth  ♡

Mother's true time.

When you're lying down to try to rest
When the world seems the same but strange
It goes in circles for a time
When the most had waves of stress
Less of fire or fury


Winds of the crickets resound the laughter but quiet the heart to a way of life that feels grander than the normal strife


Quickly we go over to a different side
Quietly we feel the same
Lively we stand for strength and
Lonely we rest for ease.
quiet//silent

you were born
something to adorn

and you grew
perfecting your hue

I wish I could compare
to your heavenly glare

you look at me sideways
am i the pinnacle of hazy?
a tired dream?
am i currently swinging?

i need to not be sideways

here I stand
silence in hand
headphones broken
life's token
making sense of the chaos
and of all that is lost
not finding that silver lining
walking in too many bindings
hear my call
here I try and stand tall
K Brooks Jan 2017
I feel
I think
I am

This is where I stand.

I wish
I dream
I be

This is me.

I long
I seek
I need

Please accept these three.

I've been living with you my whole life
A silent killer
A nameless lore
You seem to know me,
but I ignore.

It's your creeping way
A shadow I can not shake
Supposed to keep the demons at bay,
instead you invite them in and wait.

I weep with out reason
Rhyming with the seasons
On and on and on
depression, you heathen.
Feeling a little lower than usual these days.
K Brooks Oct 2019
Thin band wrapping around your wrist
Daring to cut off the circulation
Its embodiment feels safe and bliss
Never wanting to part from combination

Have not dared to find the knife
That knows my final intention
I could never truly be yours
With my lonely condition

Is in the leaves & an autumn breeze.

there's a spirit that stays with me
two entirely and I remember
when there was a different memory
I could not dwell on or it hurts my heart
I know not to draw on those few moments too much

for a thousand years or more there's life this being
comes and goes the promise of more is saddening

there's a love that is there and it's almost as if
my fingertips could brush the dust of years forgotten
a case of amnesia, a mind of jumbled up phrases
the kindness of a smile, the silence of the night
the chance to know more about every day of my life

to live on and on
to save and protect
to write and re-write

... I ask for simply the truth.
A quiet prayer // to my beloved // complicated life.

the hymns that play,
in my mind's relay
remind & sway
virtue to the way


without reminder
of thy melodies
what would be
forgotten ..

I feel as though we are changing
into beautiful beings
that might not need each other.

It's scary
and enticing
and tearing
me into pieces.  

will you hold onto the idea
of sharing our lives
or will you leave me
thinking why?
K Brooks Sep 2017
Your eyes, shine
Drawing constellations on my heart
Tearing the universe, apart
K Brooks Oct 2019
A mystery
Never distinct
Maybe it's history
Or a memory, think

Can it be love?
The unruly kind
That leaves your heart
Not knowing what is right

Something hard and hurtful
To balance it's purest form?
Unfair and lustful
It leaves your innocence torn.
K Brooks Dec 2015
we find
a mind
lost in the dark
searching for a part
not looking for a friend
trying to mend and defend
a love so real
it's not enough to kneel
a heart departed
from a life of the hardest
K Brooks Dec 2019
I feel like I am drowning
going deeper and deeper
no oxygen to save me
just the smoke at the end

I feel like drowning
there's no light for me now
only the shallows
where the predators prowl

I am drowning
it's my last attempt to swim
but my arms are tired
and someone stole my fin
mermaid perspective I guess

You must climb down
to really see the beauty
of the hidden wonder

in that town
just a kiss
from the canyon

holds the most majestic
Aqua-filled fall
of streaming water

you shrink when you see it
incapable, small
to the grandiosity

a place where water flows
a place so normal
and yet begs to not be seen

In the bottom of the canyon
lies a dream of an aquamarine

the lost love of the sea.
K Brooks Jun 2020
In the early morning
in the late brisk day
under asterisk stars

and the substance of may
we gather together
for neighborly hope

in spite of things
lost and forgone
not one but three in

solemn persistance
for the birds can
hear our minds rhetoric
the warm days need cool water for friends

do not answer it.
Hide in a corner
                                                          ­     until it peeks through the window
Facing its true face
unknowing, perching
With an honest pace
you’ll find that destiny
— might be a fake

rules of our heart
include not being pursued
more so in art
creative interlude
we brave
we strong
we free
living under the cover
of  a mask
not being a lover
but a friend –
is all some can ask
K Brooks Dec 2015
I fell and was caught
now I stumble and I'm not
how do I move without you
I saw clear, now everything's new
which way is right
who will not spite
why do I write

it's only an escape
from superman's cape
ducking and diving
revival of the surviving
everything's new everything's clear
everything's blue everything's here
how do I be bare
K Brooks Jan 2016
beneath the heat
on the beat

loving
learning

hating
hurting

I'll meet with you
If you want to

quietly
mightly
