the black rose Oct 2018
keep it real, how do you feel?
feelings aside, it helps me heal.
to clear my mind and hope it’s real.
why do you fear a broken deal?
she talks to moons and trace the stars.
stitching the wounds, awaiting scars.
viewers discretion; strongly advised.
i see you lurking, i am lusting like skies.
i am contradicting truth like the lies.
maybe a devil, as an angel disguised.

"mana"
cause your manner
and demeanor
speaks for you.
and may your every word
bring light and speak volume.
-
you are greatness.
the way you rise and fall,
the way you stand so tall,
throughout your flaws and all.
-
and they may not tell you often,
and you may not ever need it
but you are very special,
and i hope you keep believing.
-
the way you move,
you inspire.
an image so divine,
i speak peace within your mind.
you know that all will come in time.
-
if no one else believes in you,
or tries to see your vision.
i put pure energy behind
your life and
your decisions.
-
its a deeper connection,
you are the truest reflection
of a god,
here in the flesh.
you’ll rise again,
you know
its destined.

the tale of nothing
the black rose Apr 2020
is it so strange to want nothing so badly
that you think long and hard to solely serve others?
are you at such complacency with your own being
that you desire of only nothing more than
setting inspiration free by word of mouth
or words at one click of a keyboard,
on someone else’s behalf.

treasure
the black rose May 2019
the first of its kind,
look closer you'll find
a hint and a sign
of a brilliant,
divine
work of art.
far from usual,
and so far apart
from the ordinary.
tell me,
where else have you seen her?
the true face of god.
so much strength,
her demeanor
shines,
glistens like the jewels in a chest
but she's buried underground,
beneath the mark of an x.
which lucky seeker
thats hunting for treasure
-
will get the privilege,
be blessed with much pleasure?
daily dose of words. ♡

i think its so cruel what we did with the world;

its cool to witness life form in death

for years ive wondered where my spark went,
or how my dark can go from dark as 'night'
to bright
as light
& vice versa.
ive wondered why my poems had only rhythm and surface,
barely passion or purpose.
-
barely spoke,
barely wrote anything so everything stayed glued to my insides
and slowly ate away all sense of everything.
im reckless and

the black rose Sep 2019
i cant be amongst you to recreate you;
when you see me all you see is yourself.
all you see is your current situation,
the falling of a nation
that fell before it ever even fell.
too many spells casted,
too many guns blasted,
too many things drastic,
too many not matching the flow & the way.
so shine your light,
lead the way.
change your life,
change your ways.
this is life,
its amazing
if you see it with the eye,
and you feel it with the mind
then you free it with the heart
and connect the broken lines.
one with the earth,
you are aligned,
you are in touch.
you'll rise again,
you'll be okay,
don't self-destruct.

i am more than you can see with the eyes.
small in size,
with a mass of light
stored inside.
the entity that brings you strength,
to confide.
sent here to guide,
to bring peace,
to conquer,
override the systems.
to nurture hearts of victims
lost and hopeless,
losing sanity and focus.
i am me.
goddess,
flowing free.
sending power,
energy
from the inner me.

x2
these days its like I'm getting less interested, running from things that don't make my life interesting.
ain't playing them games or doing them things with ya, ain't making a change or adjusting things for ya.
tho im never losing hope im too focused on the growth
& when you no longer need people is when they need you the most.
but when i needed you most, when i needed you close
you stayed so far away, so you can stay so far from me.
i built myself up, i built me up tough & i ain't losing my ****, im not losing with ****.
did you forget? you were the one being choosy, the one being so confusing
searching for something better baby and now you losing..
bet them other girls ain't like me, can't ease your mind like i did
can't put it down like i did
dont handle **** like i did for you..
you know its true, they ain't waiting up til 4am to listen like i do.
i can't even lie you caught me by surprise, you opened my eyes and made me realize things aren't what they seem to me and you ain't what you seemed to be. all the **** you claimed to be, was all a claim its plain to see.
in love with the idea of me but let's face it you broken too,
both got issues and both need fixing but i still never got cold with you.
trust got ****** up and you, you lucked up.
you got me in my feelings, you got me wanting to feel on you.
you had me into feeling all the things you said you feel to do.
emotions going crazy for you baby boy i feel for you. all those issues must be hard to carry
with all those issues it must be scary,
to give up your heart and give up your love..
but if you can't give up no trust then it just ain't enough
you knew i was good for you, do anything to do good by you.
i wanted to be the good you see when life showed you how ****** up it can be.
now the only thing i can give to you is words that will make you regret walking away, words i couldn't say..
words that make me wonder if they could have made you stay, or were you too far away?

wicked games.
the black rose Dec 2018
passive aggression.
avoiding the questions,
lurking for confessions,
it’s like an obsession.
i am neglecting,
i’m not accepting
anything less than
what i deserve.
i know who i am,
you know what you’ve heard.
my patience is thin,
i am on the verge
of blindly falling into all that you say you are,
but if all that you say
is just your sick way,
of getting back at me
help me up,
atleast.

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.

the black rose Dec 2018
i am not the bigger person,
i take things personal.
i trade in my emotions,
vague role reversal.
i cash in my luck,
for a few moments of silence
by the waves.
i’m out of balance,
as the days go by
i waver
like
skipped rocks across the sea...
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.

i feel empowered..
i feel like following the philosophies that insist that i "do not do" was actually more powerful than my reasoning to go hard or go home.

searching for calling
or a sign,
or silent mind
from the divine

im special,
you should get down on your knees.
requesting all my loving,
while you're begging
please
for the jewels im dropping daily,
how i fill you up with hope.
one encounter and you're down for me,
ill never do the most.
unless you do the most,
unless you hold me close.
-
so close,
no ***** can approach or
get near the alter
where you hold me higher than the likes of just a few,
not many others.
you worship undercover,
you're too scared to explore
the beauty of a goddess
cant compare
& cant ignore....

nasty grace
the black rose Apr 2020
sometimes eloquence acts as child-less,
way too grown,
too great an experience with worldly things.
but are they simply,
just worldly?
-
inter-dimensionality & whole-ness make me see all things as all things.
-
i mean,
you can heal hearts
and seek revenge
in the same breath;
you can gain more,
while you feel less;
you can make what's close enough,
exact
when you're diverse enough.

what you deserve.
the black rose May 2019
hidden,
in the shadows
based on opinions gathered.
you hide behind the walls of all the things that never mattered.
half-open,
half-broken,
half-truths in words spoken.
you're searching for a way
to break free,
still hoping
that you can come alive again.
grow wings so you can fly again
and experience new heights before your journey reaches end.
you deserve to smile without watching who's around,
you deserve to love,
wild
and not have to tone it down.
you deserve a space where your true colors can show.
you deserve a love to take everywhere that you go.
you know you do..

in face of whom has no sense of whatsoever.
-
you see,
i try my hardest to be invisible
but somehow they still see me.
-
they still trace me back to somewhere they might have known,
they still gain an illusive perception that they know all that there is to me by just one look upon my face.
-
now,
what is there to see?
-
if you grace my presence for reasons likely,
you’ll be sure to greet only eyes that see through.
eyes with glare that doesn't stare or stay for too long.

love you
the black rose Dec 2018
even when i am alone
i am not lonely.
no half of me is missing
or within someone else
because i am full
& i am whole
on my own.
this new love that i have discovered
is different,
uncomfortable almost.
it is the love that i had searched for high and low.
it is the love that i needed when a love i thought needed me
didn’t really need me at all.
it is the love i cryed out and prayed for,
the very love i thought only existed within the man of my dreams.
now
i am the man of my dreams
so to the man of my dreams,
good luck.

keep me open
the black rose Apr 2019
like a flower in May;
open.
til the next day,
closed.
with a caution
no entry,
there's no crossing
my mente.
to the love that wants to hold me forever,
& the arms that wish to hold me together:
once you've reached to the point of consideration,
consider waiting.
consider me broken,
searching for comfort.
hoping for consistent lover.
trying too hard to give the time and day,
giving my time away
to those that see no value in depth.
the ones that see my mystery as threat,
with no intentions of exploring,
a waste of space and so annoying.
no words left to be spoken,
keep me open.

dire
the black rose Dec 2018
it’s like a never ending maze. & maybe i **** at making the right choices, maybe i am a ******* *****-up that does things in heats of moments completely neglecting logic. maybe i am still haunted by my past, running rampant because i so badly want to escape that person, those feelings.
trying to stay sane is a full time job that does not pay enough.
my attempts to find a love is near impossible.
i will never be good enough, will i?
i am but a girl, traumatized by disadvantages that stole my innocence way too early.
it’s hard explaining why you’re ****** up in the head while trying to outrun the demons that drag you back into hell.
so i close my eyes,
i close my heart,
i close my mind.
i was always the victim.
i always stayed silent.
i never fought because i could never win.
i no longer fight because i will never win.

& if not human then,

so you're conditioned
