speak when...
the black rose Jul 2020
paradigm shifts call for low rhythms & stillness,
wisdom calls with words of innocence
as love demands your great return.
all hail the very nature of being.
-
who are you still when separate worlds become one?
who are you when dark & light show will to collide?
who are you in the face of the eye that sees beyond what's man-made
still certain,
yet flexible.
-
i will speak where my spirit leads.
my mouth will open only when i am spoken to...
or spoken through.

between lines.
the black rose Aug 2019
with the help of inspiration,
divine revelation,
connections,
calculations
and
planetary configurations;
i will set down my principles in writing.
all of my functions and abilities
yield up hidden properties.
unveiling the prophecies,
they said its been written.
-
while i am in the presence of the power that brings three times:
the past,
the present,
and the future.
i hope these lines
are understood as divine,
i hope these lines reach the point,
beyond mind.
i hope these lines are a challenge,
i hope these lines inspire balance.
i hope these lines are re-read between lines.

cheers: remake.
the black rose Jun 2019
cheers,
to the day you find someone that challenges your inner being.
someone with vibes so powerful that the only option you have is to bow down to her.
cheers,
to all of the broken pieces of your heart for she yearns to pick up those pieces.
a being so powerful that even she is intimidated by her force
&
so passionate that when she moves the earth quakes,
trees quiver
and bones break.
at the very foot of  her throne, there are peasants trying to love her in the said most unique way possible
but darling, she is reserved for you...
for she is only fit for a KING.
her being so radiant,
pure,
that your demeanor changes at the calling of her name.
she will be yours to keep, if you want her.
but,
i warn you..
she will be broken,
she will have a past,
& you will not understand most of her
but.. please darling, do not give up.
cheers. 6:16pm.

spirals & straight lines.
the black rose Jul 2020
follow dreams like you are madly in love with chaos
& spirals.
see purpose where you once saw boxes filled with empty-ness & insecurity.
seek truth beyond,
it lives within you.
only depth exists in being,
being vast,
being an empath.
being a psychopath.  
seeking new pathways?
seek paths that just might lead you down rabbit holes that leads to a straight road of prosperity & wondrous ways of existing.

decisive
the black rose Nov 2019
i cant decide if where i am is healthy
or hell
in the sense of burning flames,
****** games
and all the names that come along with
particular things.
-
i cant decide if im in love with you or
with who ive painted you to be
in my latest piece of the lord and the lover.
im attached to the god in you,
distant from the parts of you that are learned and programmed
by the hands of destroyers of land,
the hue that keeps man in a color block that separates and desolates,
believe or not
im desperate for hands to hold
and a touch that knows when and where,
that wouldn't dare to let me linger for long...

he loves me not
the black rose Jan 2019
all of your words,
so sweet.
you are my weakness.
your soothing voice
quiets my soul,
leaving me speechless.
you have the power to destroy me
at your will.
ill give it all to have you here and now
until.
id give so much for just one moment,
to feel your embrace.
one minute with you,
alone,
alive,
so warm in your space.
he loves me.
-
you possess so much control
over my emotions,
there is no way that i can let you hold this power.
i am so trusting.
at the moment,
what will you do if i offend?
discard my feelings,
my emotions?
or claim it all to be pretend?
                    
              he loves me not.
he loves me. he loves me not.

forbidden fruit
the black rose May 2020
dont you open up your mouth.
dont you open up your mind.
dont you search for any answers,
dont you fear what you might find?
arent you afraid of looking crazy
or stepping out of the norm?
youre in a box,
youre in a cage and you have always been warned
to watch your mouth and watch your actions.
senseless movements and distractions in your view
to keep you hidden from truth.
the truth,
the true forbidden fruit.

spare me the 40 second speech,
your kind words
with undertones that speak for me.
they tell the story that i've heard like one too many times.
got one too many lines drawn
keeping out the bad guys,
and the soul ties
and all that tries to save me from myself...
who try to be of help but i cant help it,
im selfish.
im bottled up,
you felt it.
got issues un-dealt with but atleast im genuine...
i made attempts to let you in.

normal girl
the black rose Dec 2018
i never was
& i guess ill never be.
i didn’t change,
im just more focused on me.
more focus on what goes on outside of the opinion of those that could care less if i live or die..
or if im living
or dying...

i know that im not like the normal girls,
nor do i wish to be.
i like a life of serenity,
a life so full of mystery.
a little crazy,
a lot of different.
a savage dose of inconsistency,
& pure intentions.
so far from pretentious,
that’s how you know its real.
hiee.. so today is seemingly a good poetry day & i am excited, these days are becoming very scarce lol

down on all fours.
or down on two,
or bended knee.
a life with me,
extendedly.
forever
you & i
will be,
eternally.

Deja-vu
the black rose Dec 2018

familiar feelings,

as i look at me.
the black rose Oct 2019
with no need for a mirror to determine my reflection,
she shows me who i am,
and the nature of my essence.
she displays
me,
effortlessly.
without influence or judgement.
without adjustment
or renovation.
she's inspiration,
she's motivation.
she's stillness
without stagnance or a bit of hesitation.

honored to be mother.

the black rose Mar 2019
do you ever have days where your head is deep in the clouds and you never want to come down?
or weeks where your bed is the only place you see yourself being for the rest of your life?
it’s like your soul is tired & you’ve slept 1,000 hours but you still never want to wake & your dreams are the only place you seem to come alive.
the days are short and the nights go on for days.

endings that begin.
the black rose Sep 2019
as things start to fall
and things start to fade.
its out with the old,
as a new light invades.
-
what seemed like tragedy
proved itself to be clarity.
insanity brought the most rare form of sanity
and im watching nations crumble,
fumble and fear.
as light beings start to appear and prepare for the shifting of poles
and
the switching of roles...

OLLA
the black rose Oct 2018
in a world full of discomfort,
here’s to the only lovers left alive,
we’ve been ducking and dodging
we’ve been running all our lives,
though the atmosphere, unbalanced
we’re both lowly and sublime.
& life is short ... so we’re running out of time.

chapter 14
the black rose Dec 2018
sit your innocent little,
14 year old body on my lap.
not so sure where i will take you,
let me draw you out a map.
down the roads of mere destruction,
little bird just sing a song.
lay still,
lay silent.
i promise i won’t be long.

innocent little, 14 year old
broken & disturbed.
you cried for help,
your cries were loud
yet still nobody heard.
you’ll be okay,
just keep a secret,
14 year old girl.
i changed your life,
i changed you,
i changed your outlook on the world.
poem inspiration: i was ***** at 14. few people know, a few pages of a few books as well. i never really care to say anything much about it because well idk... but certain feelings trigger these emotions & makes me want to run and hide. but i’ll be okay. im always okay.
the black rose Jun 2019
while they're asleep
i'm at the depths with the demons;
exchanging playful threats and understanding feelings
and fears

good bad.
the black rose Jan 2020
"drown it out with music"
now drowned in un-amusement.
un-enthused
& now her smile isnt the same...
but in a good way.

jealousy turned acceptance,
hatred turned soft.
the flame in her eyes that caused a kundalini rise
has died...
but its a good thing.

re-written
the black rose May 2019
theres still chaos in midst of the stillness.
a balance,
the bad mixed with good its
thrilling...
not knowing what to expect
& through it all
ill live on with no trace of regret.
each step brings me closer to the edge of possibility;
each time that i fall i am refocused on humility,
my agility,
my courage,
my ability to rise
becomes louder than my cries.
faith louder than my fears,
fill a river with my tears;
i embrace them
for they are not a sign of weakness.
only the strong survive,
no space amongst us for the weak.
less focus on the trials,
we dont recognize a worry.
to each its own,
to each a throne,
a space to re-write the story.
130 · Nov 2019
sick humor.
the black rose Nov 2019
ive tried to silence the violence by confiding in figures
and shadows that cared only for what made little to no common-sense at all.
ive tried to salvage my balance by breathing in and out,
choosing different routes,
using words of mouth &
switching paces,
running far away from faces that were all too familiar.
my family ties are all deeply rooted in the lies of who i swore to be &
its the sickest of humor how who i swore to be is nowhere close to who i am.

first,
you fall in love with me..
then if its meant to be,
i give you the time of day..
which is very rare,
by the way.
-
now,
comes the challenge...
ive listened to your rants and empty statements.
ive heard you say you're lost and seeking placement
and i see that you're broken,
just as i am..
you're in need of fixing..
and just as i am,
you're afraid to admit it.
-
at this point,
i know where this leads.
so i take heed.
i run for cover,
or another.
i create space
in-between the place
where the magic should be;
will you find your way back to me?

the black rose Feb 2018
this is not a love poem.. this is a trust poem! or maybe it's a lust poem.
a free-falling, free from failing, question if you must poem.

i feel everything so deeply, starting to feel like you complete me.
i know it's real because you teach me..without teaching me..
you taught me how to love myself. how to trust myself!
you made me feel like i was someone else & somewhere in the spur of my growth i realized i needed you most!
& in teaching me.. me.
you introduced me to you.
the idea of you seemed so perfect.
it was worth it but how can we make this work if
..we're this far..
but 'this far' feels so close, and the fact that being this far i still cherish you most.
& the distance doesn't disturb the connection.. the perfection that is your reflection is a reflection of how other men should be!
& when we reflect we'll see that this is the way it was meant to be!
               i want to be all you dream & be there with you as you chase your dreams.
i want to be there when you wake up, still there when you fall asleep ..
when you fall off i won't fall back always know that you can call on me!
  
& i wonder about your lips .. do they feel as good as the words they say?
& are you as warm as you feel from this far away..
    it's special how we connect, its a challenge
    it's reeling but it's a balance .. you keep me balanced.

last call.
the black rose Apr 2019
the last time we spoke,
our vision blurred as if smoke
came into view.
i know what i spoke was true.
& when i speak,
i speak existence.
you know,
power in words.
i tried to warn you of digression,
but the one thing you heard
was that of little to no value.
i hope you see the value in being honest, no lies
because one day your disguise will reveal who you are.
i saw true colors from far.
-
your words seemed viable,
your presence seemed reliable
but still your heart wasnt pure.
i think ive seen you before.
twice in a vision,
im sure.
revealing all that you were,
your fleeting words were a blur.
and now i know,
whats done in darkness always finds a way to show.

maybe what im needing is a reason or

just need to find my center.
to close the doors,
no foreign entity can enter.
-
maybe i just need to give it time,
maybe change my state of mind.
im off balance and my energy is running real low.
its a challenge,
it is draining.
what it is
i dont know..
who i am,
i cant show.

who fights with my heart.
i form ties
and i rip ties apart.
as i struggle with 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 can’t get through to you.
what did i really do to you?
like growth, i am so new to you.
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 **** at first light.
i think that’s love at first sight,
i thought right.

the secret.
the black rose Apr 2019
limited knowledge,
primitive logic.
the hidden secret known by the mystics and prophets.
subconsciously conscious,
you are the great creator.
there is no system thats greater.
the living product of your maker.
its a mind thing.
the silver lining lies within the aligning of your design.
your mere awareness is a sign.
see everything revealed in time.

Mr. Distant Lover
the black rose Jun 2018
i wish you were a poem,
one i could write my way out of.
chained up in your words,
how do i break free of your love?
will i ever find myself or will i stay lost in all you've made me.
boy i was heaven in your hell,
i was everything you needed to be.

mr. distant lover, why you stray so far away?
left me here at war with all the things you failed to say.
i don't need your love.
but, my love you needed me;
you needed me to need you,
you needed someone to see the world through.

i'm feeling so alone & i'm wondering what will it take,
for me to feel at home in this space i cant escape.
why am i still lost in all that you have made me?
you turned my heaven into hell.
i'm here with no one to save me.
                             i will get up & i will find my way.
                             down in your love is where i cannot stay.
                            its my time to rise,
                              like the sun that shines my way.
                           down for your love is where i cannot stay.
it is your love that keeps me so far away.

escape.
the black rose Jul 2018
superman came around, he wore a crown and not a cape.
i told him all about my plans to make a great escape.
they’ll never understand when they all just make demands with no true purpose, no plan.. are they heartless?
are they afraid to love?
so lost, with no idea of where home is to return to it, but they are not at fault.
they are submissive to fear & unaware.
so many versions of the truth, so many so confused.
what would you do if you knew the truth lies within you?
what would you say if you thought you knew the way?
im brooding at night.
& I do envy the day.
im still in love with the idea of a great escape.
