grown-enough
the black rose Apr 2020
i still write about flowers blooming,
birds singing,
& sun-sets.
-
although lately,
i've been focused on expressions of threats;
like seeking trouble,
provoking monsters to come out & play with me.

(inner-circle)
the black rose Apr 2020
your eyes hold depth;
almost as deep as the time
i spoke into your head
and heard echoes,
echoing
instead of reciprocating
you filled up,
but im not empty,
nor am i envy.
do you.

the ground
the black rose Apr 2020
at the sound of a click,
that is lighter releasing flame
to ignite my insane nature of psyche.
-
with the ground rolled up,
i keep searching for height
and i keep finding it...
-
though,
im afraid
ill lose my way
back down to earth.
high, high & higher.

answers
the black rose Apr 2020
oh me oh my.
what a daring request
to insist that
i
open my gates...
-
might i ask who you consider yourself?
how long have you travelled?
what gifts have you brought to lay at my feet?
-

the black rose Apr 2020

love games
the black rose Apr 2020
fight to the finish,
a game of who wants it more.
final count,
final minute,
tap three times if you're un-sure.
-
ill skip and play,
switch and delay;
there are no cheat-codes.
i need a beast,
fight til decease,
unlocking beast-mode.
every man for himself.

feelings
the black rose Apr 2020
he says emotions are my down-fall...
then i show him
how destructive words can be.

tic-toc
the black rose Apr 2020
you might catch me slipping,
ever so slightly.
you may slide by
or slide in,
and i might lose focus.
-
clocks ticking til the moment i awake from this slumber,
til this naive,
way too easy,
no give but take,
let's up.
-
i can *******,
like i can ******* up in the head,
but ill use you for my rituals instead.
never loss, only lessons...haha
Apr 2020 · 78
blah blah
the black rose Apr 2020
mouths moving,
still not sure what you speak
or why you speak...
-
no one seems to agree with me,
shut the **** up.
Apr 2020 · 62
kill-me-now
the black rose Apr 2020
with a loaded gun to my head
and a sincere smile;
i wish you'd speed it up...
Apr 2020 · 102
heart-break girl
the black rose Apr 2020
for several years
i've written poems about
boys & men,
heart-breaks
and trends
and cries
of who's and why's.
-
notice a pattern in the way i spill words.
notice how i sway,
clumsily.
notice how i chase
the boys & men
that run from me.
Apr 2020 · 79
people-person
the black rose Apr 2020
my nerves wreck upon confronting,
i'd rather stand back
at the back of the room.
find me at the nearest exit,
off-setting the center of attention.
avoiding conversation with
dismissive head-nods
& wondering why i came...
-
Apr 2020 · 57
- safety first -
the black rose Apr 2020
if you'd ask,
i'd tell you darkness is my preference.
-
though,
gory meets glory
and glow,
you should know
that i am dark and in part,
i am light.
Apr 2020 · 61
mute
the black rose Apr 2020
selective silence,
in particular,
to whom and of what i speak.
-
Apr 2020 · 58
tree people
the black rose Apr 2020
obscured vision
of my limbs turning stiff,
bearing branches and leaves.
i look at trees and think,
"my, wouldn't that be amazing"
to be as strong and sturdy,
to be so still
and still so worthy;
to be so grounded,
and earthy.
got tree up in my dna.
Apr 2020 · 67
balance
the black rose Apr 2020
we created monsters in the same space we found peace,
pretty neat.
-
fought demons then channeled high energy,
it's bittersweet.
-
Apr 2020 · 67
fe-line
the black rose Apr 2020
sensual enough to make car ***
seem romantic enough
to lose my mind at the very touch of one button...
-
something about the words
"no one, but you"
makes my nature of possessive seem reasonable,
right?
-
never thought i'd be lurking,
lusting,
tempted to fall on my knees at your feet
so you can meet me at that place again...
can you make space again?
within my walls,
behind doors that still await your release.
Apr 2020 · 55
exchange
the black rose Apr 2020
energies channeled on behalf of
heat & friction,
fast paced-motion
and fingers gripping throat;
turned themselves against themselves
then gained strength.
-
sacred energy,
no longer strictly in heats of moments;
now there's heat in every moment.
Apr 2020 · 58
fun facts
the black rose Apr 2020
speaking great vibes,
great health,
strong ties
and wealth.
-
im seeking self,
im seeking ways to maximize profit.
im a prophet.
ray of light,
ill change your life.
ill get you right
see,
im sweet because i spoke it,
complete because i wrote it.
fulfilled because i note it.
-
yes,
its noted,
in the book of life.
and every thing i write
is a reflection of who i am
and the place from where i came;
the place where hopes and dreams,
they flow free like open streams.
-

klutz
the black rose Apr 2020
i keep tripping over nothing,
i keep running to get nowhere.
i keep folding under pressure
and stares,
fumbling on words and
seeking cheers to go beneath me.
-
i keep finding myself,
i keep counting to 10
then tapping,
random clapping
then zen
and then present moment beings
to bring me gifts,
lifting me higher.
make something of nothing.
Apr 2020 · 55
UP
the black rose Apr 2020
UP
systems falling,
regardless.
you can try to disregard
or you can do your part.
its the shifting,
total restart
of the multi-dimensional,
multi-celestial,
higher vibrational...
keep ya vibes high.
Apr 2020 · 53
black-out
the black rose Apr 2020
many vibrations loud,
many in shape of sounds,
and matrix grounds,
and makeshift clouds
that blur your eye-sight.
-
with a soft whistle
or a soft tickle at your feet,
the energy greets you as it meets you.
-
so,
let it meet you calm and collected,
let your space be worthy in face
then find yourself respected
and protected,
projecting projections
that line with your essence
and send you blessings.

[me]
the black rose Apr 2020
love ***** shoes
like ***** men
with shady moves
who play pretend;
too deep within to comprehend so "who's next?"
-
for potential lover,
im not searching...
im attracting.
Apr 2020 · 96
who's there?
the black rose Apr 2020
its a war,
gods on guard,
& the eye is upon you.
-
with physical bodies like space-ships,
they line the block
with patience
requesting entrance within
so open up.
Apr 2020 · 60
mente
the black rose Apr 2020
have you seen mother?
no sike,
psych.
true psychedelics circulate throughout the energy field,
i picked a poison that reveals all,
its awe-filled.
you knew,
the first time you saw me.
Apr 2020 · 73
b[utt] hurt
the black rose Apr 2020
watch me open like spring-flower,
wide & vast
beyond display.
watch me close like metal doors
that shut you out,
and show no face.
know your place,
know your plays.
either way,
im on the rise.
i am all that i say i am.
Apr 2020 · 98
odd characters
the black rose Apr 2020
nothing makes sense anymore...
how can one be ever so strange?
is your mind too expansive?
is your vision too vivid?
have you had a great awakening
or some strange attempt at mystic.
-
Apr 2020 · 106
light
the black rose Apr 2020
be a light,
shine bright.
its alright
to shine bright
like the sun at rising
and the moon on full.
like a flow of energy
restoring your glow,
increasing vibrations,
how high can you go?
Apr 2020 · 69
END-CYCLIN
the black rose Apr 2020
end cycles at every end,
if you do it now,
you'll never have to do it again...
its promise.
-
downward flow,
upward flow,
most awkward sense of rhythm.
still balanced,
still universal laws,
still process,
still principle.
Apr 2020 · 54
growing young
the black rose Apr 2020
standing still
yet moving at speeds as fast as tides rising,
the age of glow
and golden
is vastly approaching the horizon.
-
with age never showing in face;
there's an agent of grace
and youth,
embracing truth.
how old am i?
Apr 2020 · 166
self-manipulation
the black rose Apr 2020
mind games played by the hands of self
teach me how
i am my own boulder caught still in my own way.
Apr 2020 · 70
in wonderland
the black rose Apr 2020
mysteriously mystic,
viciously vicious.
predictably un-predicted.
-
what a world,
what a home.
what a life;
one,
two,
many...
Apr 2020 · 108
11:11
the black rose Apr 2020
im playing it close with my friends from the other side,
im channeling most
and joke about where i should be most cautious.
the black rose Apr 2020
too sick of love songs with no rhythm
or bounce,
too drunk on potions half-mixed
with only ounces of exchanged dead energy.
=
i need violence and i need peace,
in the same breath.
Apr 2020 · 66
splurge
the black rose Apr 2020
spilled emotions with depth of ocean,
like no notion is good enough...
no longer careful of how she looks in the eyes of another,
you get what you get
& you also get what you give.
Apr 2020 · 67
who knows
the black rose Apr 2020
when your back aches from carrying burdens of worlds
for generations,
when your smile can only form as far as an odd slant
and your breath comes hard like its ran out twice already...
when you hear screams in the night
and sense no threat,
the madness seems like the only sanity
and all that's left to do is seated position.
-
sweet comfort from nothing,
stillness is more bitter than bitter-sweet.
Apr 2020 · 95
a mind thing
the black rose Apr 2020
when mind feels threatened,
it sends out signals to the guards
to stand upright
& look aware,
as if we aren't already far gone enough.
-
i know,
its your job to protect and defend,
so i can practice as much of the zen
as i allow;
mind will do what it must.
Apr 2020 · 63
don't take my word
the black rose Apr 2020
does the thought of love free you
or does it haunt you?
does it put you at ease
or make you so uneasy that you cant find a stable stance...
-
the truth is,
the lesser starts to outweigh any sense of fulfillment in love
& then it fades,
& then you hope to find it again...
but does it come?
-
i'd say love is worth the pain it brings,
but don't take my word.
Apr 2020 · 79
do you?
the black rose Apr 2020
do you think its natural for someone to search for love?
or is it like some sort of forced perception
that we randomly fall into
because its so common to have that sort of connection?
Apr 2020 · 65
fuel
the black rose Apr 2020
full meals out of broken hearts,
quite malnourished,
if one might ask;
making unstable look steady,
taking flight before she's ready,
longing to be unforgettable...
Apr 2020 · 122
10 words
the black rose Apr 2020
the urge to be loved is slowly turning me savage.
Apr 2020 · 83
invalid cries
the black rose Apr 2020
expectations turned desolation,
you knew initially nothing more could be found.
still,
you allow tears to form
as your stomach turns
at the harsh realization
that nothing more can be found...
-
stop pouring yourself empty
into the cups of whom has no intention to replenish.
the black rose Apr 2020
i speak a language that makes you wonder,
you’ll start to wander.
i got fairy godparents,
come like cosmo and wanda.
have you imagining **** you never taught to imagine.
-
still,
imagine waking up one day at the top of the world,
with no worry, no care.
no envy, no fear.
without an ego or some pride
only spirits here that guide
and they bring light.
Apr 2020 · 65
blck canvas
the black rose Apr 2020
you like when i function,
don't you…
you like when my walls open up,
when i'm soft
and not rough,
destined for touch,
not in a rush...
-
you despise when i get upset,
don't you…
cover your eyes when i disconnect,
or when i get protective,
but if i cant protect my space
or whats too close in connection,
i start reflecting
then projecting
energies essential
but they **** up the flow,
so i forgive and let go,
then i grow.
-
i grow and grow,
i'm way up high.
i might out-grow you.
Apr 2020 · 77
cool - cruel
the black rose Apr 2020
i think its so cool what we did with the world;
innovated & expanded,
creation turned creator.
-
i think its so cruel what we did with the world;
innovated & expanded,
drained the life out of the planet.
obsessive need to gain of physical,
while still leaving empty handed...
-
still its cool how certain flow & process
can restore
and heal itself.
its cool to witness life form in death
innocence form from threat,
awaiting patiently,
what's next...
Mar 2020 · 69
secret desires
the black rose Mar 2020
with demand as initial intent,
i wish to continuously glare at my feet
to meet masculine energy in abundance awaiting my inquiry.
-
thinking swift on my feet
then using charm and wit to greet
each intimate connection.
-
i love it here.
they love it here.
Mar 2020 · 116
6:10pm
the black rose Mar 2020
its not a lover i need to fulfill my desires,
it is a partner consistent in growing through the madness
and only seeing its potential.
Mar 2020 · 51
dear Eve
the black rose Mar 2020
cmon' Eve dear,
its about time you drop
the apple;
the one still linking you to the idea of a snake whispering in betrayal
yet leading you up roads until your new arising.
-
Eve, your throat isn't only deep enough to hold erected conceptions;
use your longevity
to make your will live long in face of all that once seen you unworthy.
you are worthy, xo.
Mar 2020 · 55
letters to back-then
the black rose Mar 2020
the closer i get to a realization of
what the connection between male and female truly is,
the more i understand my actions toward you
then and even now, as i speak.
we may never understand each other,
we may never get to share an experience
with mutual level of love & lust...
although sometimes i hope we still can.
-
i just hate to feel like its that "Pinky" girl..
the one with trust issues
and revenge adding fuel
to her fire of insecurities
that she thinks can only be cured
if she's emotionally attached to someone who loves her body,
or someone who loves the idea
of how neatly her ****** slips
onto his ego without brushing against it
hard enough to provoke what he's insecure about.
-
just thought id actually share the part of me
that still screams for you even after trying to destroy her.
Mar 2020 · 65
f - r - i - e - n - d - s
the black rose Mar 2020
wonderland,
where i reside and confide in all existence;
there are many different shapes,
so many sizes
and depictions
of true friendship.
the grass is green,
in fact there's no other way.
we're frolicking in flowers,
drenched in sunlight by day.
-
and as the moon sends love,
so fluorescent.
i stand in constant gratitude for
my connections and ties,
who roam oceans
and skies
and all beyond
and all between...
my friends can be yours <3
