end of cycles
the black rose Jun 2020
why do you always look mad?
like the world let you down
then led you down roads that end dead.
-
your dull expression;
it makes me question what goes on within you,
is it eating you away?
will you go or will you stay?

as things arise, i let them come..

new found interests
or fed up with my inconsistence..

wasted love
the black rose Feb 2019
-
i can put it on my life
and everything i love.
i gave you all i had
but my all wasn’t enough.
never crossed no lines,
never did you no wrong.
tried to wait for the right moment,
guess i waited too long.
my love had no pride
i loved with no lies,
& i loved you when i didn’t even know why.
wasted time,
love got away from us.
waste of time
cause we ran away from love.
ain’t even been a week,
im not weak
but i can’t even sleep.
it’s you im needing
& you won’t even speak..
how did love get away from us?
-
guess it’s not my time,
maybe i should wait for love.

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,

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

pretty hurts
the black rose Jul 2018
all they see is a pretty face.
an innocent smile with dimples as deep as her.
who is she?
her energy makes you curious,
so otherworldly, the way she thinks.
she is all 3 of your wishes & she is the genie that provides.
she is the whisper in the wind, & the stars that fall from skies.
like beautiful rays from the sun, she seems harmful but if you look into her you’ll see all you need to come back to.
she is a balance of love, a low tolerance of *******; provoking and gives exactly what she gets.
powerless & fearless, yet still both fair and faith.
she is more than just an innocent smile & a pretty face.

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?

a stoic queen;
the one you only
see up close in dreams.
so rare,
& so esteem.
so powerful,
& so supreme.
-
keep the mind open,
& the doors closed.
you can’t enter in
the temple of the black rose.
too much drama,
you can’t enter
til you’re composed.
yes i know,
all things that glitter
really ain’t gold.
& all the slick attempts,
the slick intent,
intricate men,
your game is tired.
-
if you enter,
then you enter
at your own risk.
a stingy genie,
she may only
grant you one wish.
hard to please,
she’s seen it all,
hard to reach,
no mating call.
this is the land of no men.

follow leaders
the black rose May 2020
it got hard for you to trace back the truth
when you decided fame, names, & particular things
hold more importance than roots.
to pin-point a location
or ask questions would be inaccurately pointless
& so your effort goes wasted.
-
your mass is in-tune at masters feet,
a mono-tonish cluster ****
where the masses sleep.
they move like sheep,
they scurry,
in too much of a hurry to give a **** about making peace.
-
while you seek leaders,
might i invoke considerate thought
of how you can be one.
become the change,
become the strange-odd one out.
become the one who uses word of mouth as tool,
only fools use weapons as schools.
start from the seed
then take the lead...

what a chilling reunion that would be.
am i too old to fall apart?
i am too old to not have my **** together.

sadness never lasts that long,

i simply got used to them poking at my heart,
taunting my mind,
mocking my progress.

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.

now the grounds have divided.
somethings happening beneath the ground,
new stars have been ignited.

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.

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.

someone with vibes,
good energy.
someone as pure and sweet.

the black rose Jun 2018
what i post on here is for ME, i don't need anyone's approval or anyone's input on the things i post on MY PAGE. i don't mind either but do not do the most because i would hate to be rude.. & since no one on here knows me, no one on here has any idea on if what i post resonates with me so don't assume that the things i write relate to me.. i express myself on here flaws n all! its poetry & poetry for me is whatever you want it to be, its free & no rules apply. i'm not a professional poet or writer, that uses words of high intellect to execute how i feel, nor do i care to be. my poems should not be the only factor that determines how intelligent i am, and what i write may not make sense to alot of people but it will to the people that understand :) if you do not like what i post, do not read, simple. thank you.

wits at the end,
at the start you were my friend.
we lost sight of who we were,
we got caught up in a stir of emotions that deemed us unworthy
of a love thats willing,
with balance
and sturdy.

now all of my wounds;
healed and closed.
now i can see why fate kept us apart.
now i can see that you loved with words and it was never from the heart.

reelDistance pt.2
the black rose Apr 2018
UPDATE:
distance is misleading..
you think its what you want, and maybe it is but it is also not what it seems.
the idea that "if we can work from this far, we can definitely work" is so wrong.
communication is one thing, its good & once you can communicate you think you're already at a great start.. but its complicated.

i thought it could work simply because i was willing.
we both were.
but, there was a disconnect.. sometimes people dont realize their own flaws. they notice the flaws of others but when it comes to realizing personal issues, they become oblivious to whats seems so obvious.
i can state my every flaw, i can own up to them and i can apologize and adjust myself.
but he couldnt?
i appreciated his effort,
but in efforts to show my appreciation, i failed.
i valued him beyond what i showed him,
i was a wall.
i thought he understood.
he said he understood.
i was the one creating trust issues? though i was simply trying to adjust, i never disrespected. i kept my word and without being sure if it could ever work, i continued to seclude myself.. making myself unavailable to anyone that wasnt him.
it was clear to me that whoever was before me made it harder for me to ever get a fair chance and i was fine with that because i know how it can be!
everything that was thrown at me, i understood from another person's stand point and i adjusted without ever distancing myself or leaving..
but it wasnt enough!

i put everything anyone has ever showed me aside and i trusted that he would never hurt me.. i knew that he would leave and he made me believe that he wouldnt.
i hesitated.
he left.
though, im still here
better than ever now.
all i wanted was time.
all i wanted was the permission to repair the broken pieces of me,
in hopes to give you the best version of me.
all i needed was time.
its a process,
it still is.
but some people prefer finished pieces over works in progress.

honestly, all you gave me was honesty and clarity,
you were there, always.
thank you.
our timing, so off.
but our encounter, as small as it may seem
was essential.
you were everything i didnt even realize i needed,
you were everything i wish i loved and cherished while you were here.
but now you're there,
im still here.
my mind and my body still crave you,
the love i have for you still awaits its release.
you are perfect in the most imperfect way.
beautiful loss..
