a perfect dance
within a timely rise & fall.
a conscious play,
within the nature of
the all supreme creation;
where destiny & desolation,
they merge.

dark days
the black rose Nov 2018
there are no fairytale endings in this darkness,
the only ones that are amongst us here are heartless.
we are the ones that love too hard,
we let the world tear us apart,
we are the ones that seek the chaos and the madness.

i sit and wonder how.
i often wonder why.
is this world only illusion
draw conclusions in the sky.
making shapes out of the clouds,
sharing poetry with trees.
bare-foot,
***** headed,
wind surrounding
bringing ease
to my worries.
the birds,
they listen to my stories.
they often speak back.
pure abundance,
no lack.
variety a plenty.
full of life,
never empty.
but i am empty
when i do not visit,
much rather stay in-doors.
so eager to explore
yet still afraid.
more so amazed
at your stillness
and your will
to carry on
so firm and strong.
holding the key
to nature's song.
i call you tree,
but you are me.
you are all i wish to be.
you are all i wish to see.

left me
the black rose Dec 2018
trying to find my way through the darkness has been a wild crazy adventure & it has left me heartless.
it has left me vulnerable,
it has left me weak,
it has left me broken,
i can barely speak.
lost,
open,
shattered heart.
it has left me searching,
hoping,
falling apart.
it has left me.

can that be you?
the black rose Feb 2015
you know, i can sit here and write endlessly about how i feel & try to express through words what's hurting me..
but, at the end of the day this is only temporary..
the relief i get from writing is similar to the relief i get from cutting, its beautiful yet so ******* temporary.

of course, its better than nothing at all but i dream of a time where i no longer need to write poetry with anonymous subliminal statements\ messages.. where i no longer run on here every time that i feel an urge to cut or every time that i get this beautiful yet dreadful tingle in my chest.. i dream of a time where i can run to you, and you know without it being said what i am feeling..
a time where your ear becomes my canvas.
i dream of a lover that doesn't despise my scars but finds so much interest behind them that they won't rest until they know what caused them, who caused them and when it will stop.
a lover above all lovers, my lover... *but i'm stuck between "if its meant to be, it'll happen" & "if you want it, go and get it."

***
there was always a fire in his eyes,
i mean the way they lit up at the sight of me was almost crazy.
he was my book of ****** fantasies,
i loved everything about him but the things i loved most were the ones hidden behind closed doors.
his voice would immediately arouse me,
but the moment he laid hands on me it was salacious.
as i bit my lip & gasped for breath,
it was almost never too much for me to handle.
you see, when you open up yourself to someone & not just anyone,
someone worth opening up to..
the feeling takes you places beyond what you can imagine,
its no longer *** its something bigger, more immense.
i can say not everyone deserved me, but he did..
never promiscuous.
we bonded in a different way,
i thought about him & the way he made love every chance i got.
it made me wonder, did he love me? or was the heat so misleading..

*too soul.*
the black rose Feb 2015
is this really love? or is it more?
a feeling that cant be described..
yet, it feels like ive been here before
this moment, ive seen it
these feelings arent new to me..

this is deeper than love
its bigger than love
this is more powerful than any two lovers can even fathom

the way my soul quakes at the very sound of your voice..
the way my nose cringes at the calling of your name
.. the way im awake at 4am, expressing my feelings through a poem because i cant build up enough courage to spill my guts to you..
it hurts..
holding it in hurts more than letting it go,
you not knowing is hurting more than if you knew..

not afraid of being hurt by you,
babe im strong enough to get over it..
ive encountered too many sleepless nights,
too many dark thoughts,
too many cuts at the wrists,
too many wet pillows and broken pencil sharpeners..

too many to be afraid of love..
im stronger than ive ever been and im not afraid to search you!
im not afraid,
to search the deepest parts of your soul,
to love all of the bad parts of you.

i yearn for a lover that drinks whiskey and eats roses,
a lover not afraid to love me until i strain all of the energy from him
i yearn for the depth,
a certain compatibility that everyone else has failed to achieve

i want nothing to do with the ordinary,
i will not settle.
i want to know that your soul matches mine
that we are on the same mental level
so that when we are together, we are a force so powerful that the earth will quake along with our souls..

**or is that too much too ask?

euphor...
the black rose Feb 2015
do we really want to be here?
or are we living in the moment?
.. with a scare from my demons,
the moment you realized who i was and what i was capable of..
why didnt you run?

you should have ran for your life,
you never should have came here..
and now,
now you made a mess of things and the bantam of sanity i had left..
disappeared

darling, did you realize the detriment?
did you realize the anguish before you left?
im not angry with you, because who would stay?
you should have left though..
when you realized that i was impractical..
when you looked in my eyes and saw my demons playing hopscotch in the back of my head..

did it scare you?
of course it did..
you left me here, alone..
you abandoned me because you were afraid but i dont need someone who's afraid to face my demons and all that comes along with me..
i need someone that will channel the demons and stare at my soul even if it is the most darkest thing that they have ever seen..
even if it scares you to the point where you wont know if you'll ever be sane again..

it’s funny,
men tell you what not to be then betray you with the same description.
& they ain’t messing with no gold digger but an encounter with a woman that has her sh-t together
leaves your ego fetal positioned.

one day they are all over you,
the next day they are over you.

can she cook some food?

the days of the weak..
the black rose Feb 2015
Monday is a struggle in itself, how treacherous she is, so unpromising..
Tuesday is just another day.. i try to get through but when you're losing hope its hard to even.. exist..
Wednesday is my least favorite day, im just waiting for Friday to get here.
Thursday, by the time he's here my existence is about ready to just fade away into the darkness that is similar to my spirit.
Friday is here, this is what ive been waiting for.. glasses full of whiskey as i try to numb the pain and as im half way through the only thing im able to do is remember you.. the very thing i am trying to forget.
& then Saturday comes, and i try again.. you know, it never works out but im not giving up! til the day i can drink glasses of whiskey and get inebriated without pouring out my heart halfway in  because i miss you! i live for that beautiful day.
Sunday... oh isnt this great? one day before Monday and i start all over again.. the process.. its eating away at my soul & i dont know how much longer i can do this

when its all said and done baby,
what was there to hold onto?
empty promises and lies?
i bet my passion still haunts you..

i bet my soul still makes you nervous,
i bet my voice still lingers in the deepest parts of your body..
like a disease spreading through your veins,
& i hope it never ends..

you will always remember me,
you will always miss me..
when you try to build something new,
with someone new,
all that you think you have will crash and burn..

everything you think youre creating,
will be diminished
& whatever little piece of happiness you find,
will die a slow death..

you will try to find someone like me
someone better than me but,
sorry dear..

within reason
the black rose Nov 2021
they say hearts should collide
to reveal a sense of fate,
that love is curse to all,
forbidden fruit.
to let the mind reign supreme in logic,
at quickened rate & separate,
because nothing else matters,
this, to them, is truth.
-
yet, my eyes wander about,
aimless,
searching for soul window.
my skin, lonely for touch.
my spirit, wishing upon satellite posing as star.
because. who dreams still of connection?
beyond the man-made,
ill perception,
to worship tangible,
to turn a cheek to ever-lasting love.

insecure
the black rose Feb 2019
show true colors when no one is looking.
we fear what they may think,
not  
understanding the power  we hold
and it’s deeper than we know and think.
i don’t see no potential,
im insecure.
though i know im enough,
i search for more.
seeking validation,
mere appreciation.
but the fault isn’t you,
it is what is in your view.
you see pictures everyday,
depicting perfection,
a certain perception that flows in one direction
toward a standard of beauty
that’s unhealthy
and unkind.
but the problem isn’t your body
no the problem is your mind.
the reason you are blind
is a truth you’ll never find
if you try to fit an image outside of who you are.
you’ll never find a resting place
not near and
no not far,
you were created equal not identical,
you see
&
i wouldn’t wanna be anyone else,
cause no one can be me.

i see no point in investing my energies where they are not appreciated or understood.
i will not tirelessly try to make my presence known when there is not a spec of effort to acknowledge.
i have no interest in stroking dying egos
or watering plants that are complacent in their withering.
i will not make a space for what intentionally brings me to my knees, no matter the emptiness i suffer.

alone or accompanied,
i am living.

wearing armor made of distance.

no regrets

no what if's, buts, or maybe's!
no why's or regrets
the moment i fell for you even though i was unsure if you felt the same way..
i was fine with it, baby is that okay?

i mean... you..
you're so perfect in your being
my soul is in love with you
in love with what we could be..
in love with the very thought of you loving me back

it’s wild and on a search.
who dares to deem a wanderer,
explore the unexplored.
who knew a thing so powerful,
who dare sign the accord.
a journey to a ******,
an inconsistent high.
too warm and too forgiving,
too good to say goodbye.
so deep and so mysterious,
be careful what you ask.
for every truth is hidden behind a pleasing mask.

eyes shut
and doors locked dead to the world.
dead was the girl
with no soul,
no heart,
but every night she fell apart.
every night she felt a piece of her fade away into the dark.

returning to save the world,
i believe in a divine plan
so perfectly timed
that the world will save itself.
an enforcer of love,
not the word
but the feeling.
undeniably a feeling relating to a higher source of energy.
a higher being
possessing a certain healing.
i believe in energy,

it has taken the place of the faith i once had.
it is making a brutal entrance, like salt in my wounds..
i thought i was healed.
forgiveness & the idea of unconditional love;
they had became apart of me.
i tried to be different!
i tried to embrace the respite from my bitterness
but fear came back
& it swallowed me..
everything i thought i had permanently gained showed itself to be temporary.

see, fear is a battle i can’t seem to win

NO, you cannot text me.
no you cannot take me home, or use slick talk to undress me.
"maybe if you dress more appropriate, with elegance and class"
how about i wear what the **** i want without being harassed.
"act like a lady"
please do not play me.
i will not submit to your labels of what a woman should be,
or how she should dress.
really? what's next?
will i have to wear nun outfits to get a date,
because it's respectable, then will i find a 'mate'?
get the **** up out my face.
maybe i shouldn't use profanity,
maybe it makes me less of a lady.
& maybe words like "****** & hoes" make me look ****** crazy?
*** you're so unlady like.
ok but i sleep great at night!
maybe i should be a lady, so tell me what is a lady like?
sorry, nope, i will NOT shave my legs every night.
i will not wear extra clothing to be pleasing in your sight.
sick of the world and how it tries to label you, i am who i am. i wear what i want, do what i want & say what i want because at the end on the day only me has to live with me, & only i am affected by the consequences of MY actions so if you are uncomfortable, then make yourself comfortable by dismissing yourself from my presence :) love ya'

beyond all the slightly faded scars and battles that you went through.
silly little broken girl,
thinking someone will ever care.
they all just see a broken piece with loneliness so clear.
silly little broken girl.
just run away,
maybe you’ll find someone to love,
somewhere, someday.
don’t you stay,
they’ll never hear the things you say.
they’ll just trample you,
push you aside,
say that you’re not good enough.
they’ll say that you were fun to try,
maybe next time you’ll have better luck.
