not a match
the black rose Apr 2020
im not a hater but sometimes i can come across that way,
especially when you put me in a ring with another entity
waging war against my property,
against my sanity.
-
of course i wont stand defenseless
as my effort goes wasted
while still attached to my essence,
you must have forgot.
-
you must have forgot
those days when
you saw only power in what exists...
do all projections come out the way i imagined?
the black rose Apr 2020
funny enough
i don't give a flying ****...
yet i still do,
strange enough...
84 · Dec 2018
have you
the black rose Dec 2018
tough as nails,
you’re so inspiring.
the way you bottle up emotions & hide your pain behind the strength you gained from running away. every single time.
you occupy yourself with a facade of who you wish to become, i think it’s working..
is it working? i don’t think it’s working.
maybe it is working,
maybe you just need to stay positive.
it’s simple.
all you have to do is listen to a million motivational speeches & tell yourself that everything will be ok eventually.
but will it?
try shutting everyone out of your life,
mask all of your feelings.
did that work?
have you tried drowning in your emotions & re-visiting your past?
maybe if you actually speak about what’s going on in your head.. wait, no!
a victim should never play the victim, not a good look.
be silent.
show emotion.
be strong.
raise hell.
never let them see you frown.
uhhh?
why are you so hard?
do you have emotions?
have you tried crying?
have you tried venting?

im designing farms to grow rare fruit & herb,
generate strains of wine, **** & wellness;
at the hands of some amazing individuals.

next move.
the black rose May 2019
uninspired yet still so inspired.
-
moving at a reasonable pace but sometimes i start to wonder if im moving..
or moving fast enough.
left my faith in the hands of the universal decider;
& im not worried
i just need reassurance.
then a message so timely,
on the walls in the sky brings awareness to the questions of who, how and why.
"you are here, you exist.
all that you seek is in the midst of all that surrounds you.
feed your spirit,
let it ground you.
bring you back down to the earth,
no need to question or search.
divine timing and plans
are in motion and stands with the forces that were sent here to guide you.
for reassurance take another look inside you."
thank you!
everything works out..

its like im invisible,
no one sees me
no one hears me
but that's ok because i know that everyone can feel me..

sometimes
the black rose Apr 2020
sometimes im here,
sometimes im listening,
sometimes im hearty,
sometimes heart-broken
by the hands of myself.
-
sometimes i take the blame,
most times i place it elsewhere.
sometimes i channel fear &
destructive energies
then level up.
feel free to drop your interpretations of my weird *** poetry in the comments...

(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.

journal journey: luv/
the black rose Nov 2019
love is like..
too many different types.
too many different lefts.
too many different rights..
-
ive spent more time with my face stained on pillows and
my eyes in holes dug deep.
ive had connections with perceptions of who they claim to be devil,
devious ties to dangerous disguised as razors and knives
holding my wrists at gun point;
at some point ive died like a thousand times,
is this a sign?
82 · Apr 2020
rhythm
the black rose Apr 2020
there's a law that says i cant always be powerful
so somedays my sway may seem a-lotta bit off.
you'll see me smile while claiming sanity,
the next day im concrete stiff.
i know i must
but if
i had to choose,
i wouldn't...
-
something about balance.
81 · May 2019
the affection perception.
the black rose May 2019
i was stone cold,
rock hard.
i hid my heart away
from all acclaimed as worthy
i just had to keep it safe.
i was bitter,
unfamiliar
with a touch poorly displayed.
each time i would encounter you
my interest would evade.
didnt know what i was feeling but
it always felt so strange.
a few hundred light years later
& i think my view has changed...
-
i find myself crumbling at the touch of your warmth,
and in the arms of your embrace
i could weather any storm.
my barriers are breaking,
no room left to escape.
im in the space
where you conditioned
my state,
without credit or mention;
and this feeling that i once built for war
and for tension...
now has my attention.
81 · Jun 2019
today..
the black rose Jun 2019
i'm trying to make steps toward clarity,
but it seems i'm moving closer to insanity.
i try to stay afloat,
keep my head above water.
yet still i'm drowning,
in search of all that i need
to be free of thought,
free of mind.
when will i cross freedom lines?
when will i stand,
still at ease
in face of sun,
embracing breeze.
whisper to trees
"how do you stay
so sane in midst of
disarray?
and if you may,
teach me to be like you.
so strong and so in touch with roots."
-
i know my strength lies within the very depths of who i am,
i know how challenging the channelling can get....
somehow i can write a mile a minute,
i can rant even splurge,
but for some odd reason i can't put this experience into words.
81 · Mar 2020
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.

omens
the black rose Apr 2020
totems come as eagles

& mystery takes place,
on display as common interest...
its always deep beyond the surface.

pretty fears
the black rose Feb 2020
as i fight with my mind,
who fights with my heart.
i form ties
and i rip ties apart.
as i struggle in your world
& try to keep up with mine.
i go dumb,
i go out of my mind.
like i’m drunk,
i am out of my mind.
--
as i love i keep the hate on speed dial
and for drama you can hit the redial.
when i am me,
i cant get through to you.
what did i really do to you?
like growth,
i am so new
so keep up.
--
i need a stained soul,
one that’s impatient and old.
who has no vision but goals..
one who gets lost in the wind,
and makes a home in the storm.
whose only focus is right,
who understands we’re all wrong.
who falls apart through the night,
back on their sh-t at first light.
i think that’s love at first sight,
i thought right.
80 · Feb 2020
the land inhibit
the black rose Feb 2020
it’s cold here..
the place where grudges held are like jewels in a crown,
we wear them.
loss & lonely visits
& never checks out.
anxiety always comes in strong like waves
trying to wash away any possibility of new destiny.
-
it is too dangerous to stay here
yet i can’t just get up and go...
i know of nowhere else,
i am too familiar to this place of nothingness and sorrow;
this place has kept me warm
& this place has kept me sheltered.
-
this place...
it’s dark;
dark like the corners of my heart
where love hides,
fetal position.
-
dark like the pupils of my peers,
in pairs
they appear misguided.
why am i here?
-
the things you hold onto are the things that hold onto you;
your resentment resides
& it situates itself in the deepest parts of you.
it takes full control while you watch yourself become homeless in your own home...
stranger.

: recent activity.
the black rose Jun 2019
they say the same walls that block out fear will keep the happiness away.
so these days im roaming freely,
seeking all in vast array.
-
letting walls down,
opened for trespassing,
unlocking doors now.
-
no longer watching my steps,
i may just trip the alarm.
i may just take over the world,
i may not ever make a sound.
i may not ever come around again,
i'm feeling lowly,
im in search of
higher ground again.
running circles.
79 · Apr 2020
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.

with a loaded gun to my head
and a sincere smile;
i wish you'd speed it up...

as you embrace every expression
and explore every direction
without concern and without question because its destined...

pretty
the black rose Dec 2018
they say
the truth ain’t pretty,
but
you are.
you know plenty
and
you don’t know too many.
you are
so fitting,
always in your zone.
always by yourself,
never feeling alone.
making solitude your home.
78 · Apr 2020
the careful kind
the black rose Apr 2020
she was cautious once,
cared only for who thought what...
now she shuts out insults
& shouts out impulse
after stutter-stepping on egos
& silently expanding mental space.
-
its those quiet ones you should beware of
...or run from.
if you see danger as threat,
you might want to turn your necks
or turn yourself inside out.
i promise.

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
78 · Apr 2019
dark rose
the black rose Apr 2019
stripped of innocence,
left naked in despair.
so when you're knocking at the door
she cannot hear.
emotionally unavailable,
the trauma runs deep.
she's running but keeps
tripping over potentials,
that sees so much potential.
still she is so resentful
with no time to stop.
legs tired and weary,
her darkness comes in so scary;
in fear, you'll flee
come near, you'll see
a rose with petals bruised and battered,
faded cause color never mattered.
and like her petals,
pieces scattered
from heart shattered and broken.
and if she's open,
its only for a moment.
splurging
78 · Apr 2020
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.
78 · Apr 2020
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.

distant: saga
the black rose May 2019
saw the ending
from the beginning
still we resisted.
still we insisted that maybe love was on our side.
id always run,
id always hide
and you'd come find me
like a game of hide and seek.
we'd always fantasize about the day we finally meet.
you told me all your secrets and you shared your deepest fears.
when no one else would listen you would vent to me,
i cared.
you shared
your whole life in one night.
still you gave in,
without resistence,
no fight.
we lost sight
and maybe losing was for the better.
maybe we are better off
distant,
apart
than close together.

mysteriously mystic,
viciously vicious.
predictably un-predicted.

what a world,
what a home.
what a life;
one,
two,
many...
the black rose Jun 2019
i wish i had your guidance
and your confidence.
i could have used your motivational speeches
and your spark,
or just your shoulder
and warm embrace.
i wish you could see the look on my face as i died slowly by the hands of myself,
as i cried out for help
and for creator to end all existence that existed around me
and within me.
maybe if i had your intuitive demeanor i could have understood my intuition,
if i had your drive i could have understood patience and persistence.
if i had your advice i could have avoided all of the mishaps of yesterday that somehow,
very strangely,
turned into wisdom for my today.
i needed you,
i thought i could never find you.
i thought i wouldn't make it pass 16,
and at 21,
i am the woman i wish i had as a girl.
inspiration for who needs it

journal entry #9
the black rose Jun 2019
im alone,
never lonely.
though sometimes i wish i had someone to see through me,
speak life into me.
exchanging laughter and tears,
who'd rather hunt down fears
than stand in judgement.
someone who loves without pretend,
someone,
a single friend..
close enough to comprehend the madness in my eyes
as we search the open skies....

you may slide by

clocks ticking til the moment i awake from this slumber,
til this naive,
way too easy,
no give but take,

but ill use you for my rituals instead.
never loss, only lessons...haha

kryptonite

you stroke all of my weak spots,
true colors are a bleak,
emitting radiation
to reveal what's underneath.
your love is like a drug,
so bad
but
yet
so good.
your lips
are worth me dying,
destroy me like you should.

75 · Feb 2020
its over-standable.
the black rose Feb 2020
before you expel your sacred energy on behalf of another,
ensure that you're doing it out of your own will.
-
or else your motive will switch;
from save to destroy,
destruct &
carelessly deploy.
-
people change,
moods too
& a certain sense of reality can prove itself over-whelming.
-
while responsibilities can wreak havoc on an already decaying sanity;
they're holding onto what they think they need to exist...
so bear with them.
75 · Apr 2020
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.
74 · Apr 2020
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.

growth 101
the black rose Jun 2019
explore it,
let it inspire you.
become friends,
become lovers,
become so obsessive that you question its intent on your sanity.
invest in it.
make it your peace while you
treat it as if you were an unstable person,
fed up and seeking holy ground;
in search of validation,
in search of balance,
desperate,
willing to discipline,
willing to adjust...
and when you both come to grips or a mutual agreement;
be loyal,
be open,
be so ******* honest
and
be understanding
but most of all be patient.
growth is so amazing, i can't believe there was ever a time when all i wanted to do was be sad and still.

he wants something to hold onto,
an anchor to ground,
hips to grasp.
maybe hold onto my willingness to embrace your god-hood,
or my grip
onto ways in which
you exist...

mentally,
im attached emotionally.
every part of you captures my awareness,

initially,
i thought i understood.
now,
i know that i may never understand.

over analyze,
the less time we have to enjoy whatever magic we can create.

complete because i wrote it.
fulfilled because i note it.

the place where hopes and dreams,
they flow free like open streams.

stay ******* my logic,
wearing a scent stink of lust.
ignoring all of the issues,
aware that i cannot trust.
but i can feel.
i can’t determine what’s fake

and to stay without question,
resting sure that all is as it must be.

humanity has died
& third dimensional beings have became so stagnant;
no longer interested in ascension
so no longer worthy of a space.
