the black rose Feb 2019
i want a beautiful life filled with beautiful people.
ones that see the world for what it truly is & what it can possibly become again.
i want to greet fears with grins and laughter
& overcome the greatest obstacles with a heart that shows gratitude through its will to live.
i want to have wise, amazing, genius children that carry in them the dna of everything that i stand for.
i want to grow with them.
i want to fall madly in and out of love with someone that makes every inch of pain feel so worth it that i won’t even notice it hurts.
who makes all of my days seem so short that it’s unreasonable.
a love that holds me tight as i slowly die in its arms.
i want a life partner that understands life challenges,
who teaches me by simply being.
who’s not territorial or completely obsessive,
& has more honor and respect than expectations.
fairytale ending or tragedy,
i just want to live on the edge of every possibility.
mad or completely insane,
it’s all the same.
i just want to live.

jaaneman, do you think of me like i think of you?
do you believe in me as i believe in you?
i dont know if its me,
or my pessimistic outlook that is keeping us apart.
but, i need you like the stars need the moon.

sitting here on this day of inamorata,
wishing we could be together..
but dear, i know you've got somewhere else to be.
i know your heart is already full,
with no room left for me.

though, i'm never giving up on us.
i will fight for you.
i will fight until your heart is empty,
empty and shallow.
i will fight for you until the day that you realize,
i am the only one that will ever fight for you..

when your lover betrays you & leaves you out in the cold..
allow my being to be a form of warmth.
all i want is the taste that your lips allow,
i want to be your reasons why
& your reasons how.

this is my promise to you..
to never hurt you, never betray you dear i will never let you go.
here's to the day that i can finally call you mine, the day of *euphoria.
the black rose Feb 2020
of course,
my obsession would leave me uneasy & upset
at the fact that you're not as crazy about me
as i you...
-
its just ive never had reciprocity,
no mutual effort,
not even a hint at attempt.
-
so when you find them aesthetically pleasing;
you lust,
you lurk,
you love
& they excite you.
-
you used me to gain steadiness
then shook my hand as if i possess nothing more,
as if feeding into me was some sort of taboo.

its never about them,
they can't understand.
they can't see the vision,
they weren't there to see the plan.
the focus ever-growing,
moving up,
and always sowing seeds,
pure in deeds,
pure indeed.
the black rose Jun 2019
don't try to figure me out,
you'll lose your last bit of sanity.
i promise,
im not that complicated but
... its complicated.
the black rose Jun 2019
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.
i feel inspired..
i feel like all the days i roamed frantic and falling
searching for calling
or a sign,
or silent mind
from the divine
to make it mine.
the black rose Jun 2019
as things arise, i let them come..
as they start to become distant,
new found interests
or fed up with my inconsistence..
i let them go.
the black rose Jun 2019
as one chapter closed and another one opened..
   its just as i expected.
the black rose Jun 2019
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?
-

everything happens for a reason..
the black rose Jul 2019
teach forgiveness,
& be divine...
the black rose Jul 2019
and everyday for me
is a new beginning..
the black rose Jul 2019
drafting poems,
storing data.
now im alpha
i was beta.
-
now im meta,
im better.
im great.
so wavy,
im vibin',
clean slate.
-
bored...
the black rose Jul 2019
10 minutes from now,
i won't even be the same.
ill be farther than it seems.
-
10 days from now,
ill be up and on my way,
i get closer by the day.
-
10 years from now,
ill look back &
shed tears.
i conquered my fears.
i beat odds and
im odd.
-
im different,
growth game consistent.
can't compare me,
know you hear me
but why you never listen?
lol? i can't wait for live poetry ;)
the black rose Jun 2019
i was searching high and low,
for a sign
to stay or go?
shrink or grow?
think i know why they say that life is not for the faint-hearted.
i stopped before i started,
disgraced and then discarded.
the black rose Jul 2019
came back down to earth today.
most days im light years away,
most days i don't know the way...
-
flower-child,
acclaimed hippie.
ancient soul,
with the trippy
visuals
on how the world should be,
or how the world should see,
or how the world can free
and bring
minds and hearts,
from miles apart
together.
for better.
for-ever.
tip: pretend that there's a beat playing as you read my poems. lol
the black rose Jul 2019
you can't save anyone,
you can only save yourself..
although you can be of help,
you can only save yourself.
the black rose Jul 2019
everything is on time.
everything is in time.
the black rose Jul 2019
self love is the best love.
self love is enough love.
the black rose Jul 2019
i don't function in chaos.
im peaceful,
im at peace.
at ease,
at least.
the black rose Jul 2019
we're stuck in the past,
going back.
reviewing history
unattached.
we need to rebuild,
we need to enlight,
we need to spread love
and be one with the light.
we need a clean slate,
to set a new sight,
to know its alright.
the black rose Jul 2019
do i want financial freedom?
or freedom from this place
where they strip away my sanity
then throw it in my face.
-
do i want to live forever?
or disintegrate into the depths,
beyond illusions,
posing threats
as i wander through what's next.
the black rose Aug 2019
see no evil.
speak no evil.
hear no evil.
the black rose Aug 2019
why do i fall in love so hard?
the black rose Jun 2019
initially,
i thought i understood.
now,
i know that i may never understand.
-
what's not important are the titles we try to place on our experiences and
i know that the more we try to better understand or
over analyze,
the less time we have to enjoy whatever magic we can create.
the black rose Aug 2019
we expand and procreate,
we the gods.
abode in self,
abide by universal laws.
wearing crystals not crosses,
by the power,
no losses.
i am one with the forces.
the black rose Aug 2019
knowledge goes 3 ways:
under-stand then you may never over-stand.
over-stand then you shall always inner-stand.
to inner-stand is to stand on the grounds
of what's true to the core,
the truth from what's pure.
no questions,
you are sure.
the black rose Aug 2019
your lack of self-expression is impressive.
although you seem so open,
you leave questions.
-
you seem assertive and aggressive.
un-guarded,
un-protected.
like everything you want just leaves a negative affect.
is
everything okay love?
are you sure that you'll be fine?
cause everything you're hiding will be brought to light in time.
-
i can tell you're one of them,
searching for a place.
running out of space.
losing track and
losing trace of
present vs past,
slowly vs fast.
you're caught up in the rise of what no one can outlast.
day whatever. month whatever
the black rose Aug 2019
be patient
-
maybe you've never had to wait for anything.
maybe you've never had anything worth waiting for.
why do i title my poems journal entry? because they are small pieces\insight that stem from my actual journal entry. you're welcome.
the black rose Aug 2019
only speak when im spoken to
and when im spoken through.
the black rose Aug 2019
and if you ever do anything...
make sure to feel good about it,
feel good in it,
free yourself through it.
if you love it,
dont ask questions,
go ahead and just do it.
its your life,
you should live it.
give it time or just give it all you’ve got.
the black rose Sep 2019
this physical life re-created by men
of deception,
fueling false perceptions
and misconceptions
isn't everything..
isnt anything...
the black rose Jun 2019
he said nothing lasts forever so let's not get our hopes up,
i say anything is possible
or maybe
close enough.
we may not exist in the physical,
able to physically touch
and with visual.
but we can still surf the cosmos,
meet me on a frequency.
speak to me.
down until the death,
no theory poses threat.
we can live forever if we want to,
we can love forever if you want to.
the black rose Jun 2019
nearly imperceptible changes to the inner life
slowly make themselves known in the face of light.
the black rose Jun 2019
you can never please everyone.. or in some cases,
                                            
                                                          
                                                                   anyone...
the black rose Jun 2019
its like im invisible,
no one sees me
no one hears me
but that's ok because i know that everyone can feel me..
the black rose Jun 2019
i barely feel a thing,
i rarely feel a thing.
the black rose Jun 2019
one day im going a mile a minute
the next day im moving slow enough to manipulate time.
its a wild ride,
hoping for balance and harmony
before uncertainty leads to tragedy...
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....
the black rose Nov 2019
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
i move slow because ill make a mess of anything
close enough.
the black rose Oct 2019
live presently in every moment;
as you embrace every expression
and explore every direction
without concern and without question because its destined...
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?
the black rose Sep 2019
hit the vape,
now im in space.
im having urges to escape
and there are new feels
in place of the old.
there's no trace
or scent of my role as hero,
my highest ground is zero.
ive rested and still
i went from writing ten pages
to none,
im trying to run
but the forces wont let me,
they guide and protect me.
they'll make you respect me if you dare to disrepect me..
the black rose Dec 2018
a past as dark as nothing,
as sound as the abyss.
with nothing to look forward to
keep going,
i insist.
if you’re willing
you will find your way,
after every night
a brighter day.
pay close attention,
hear the words i say.
don’t neglect the force,
obey.
you will prevail,
you’ll be okay.
the black rose Apr 2019
the universal forces are seeking revenge.
with energies so violent,
they are here to avenge
the dying hearts.
strung out like an addict,
with scars that depict
abuse and oppression.
with raging aggression,
biting back like i should have.
fighting back like i would have if it werent for the daze,
now the love spell has fade.
nice to meet you,
im karma.
counting all of your days.
the black rose May 2020
don’t be threatened by words
or verbs
used in a statement,
in placement of
a hurt feeling
or a spirit broken;
when you fall
get back up & keep going...
= letters to self =
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.
the black rose Apr 2020
with a loaded gun to my head
and a sincere smile;
i wish you'd speed it up...
the black rose Apr 2020
i keep tripping over nothing,
i keep running to get nowhere.
i keep folding under pressure
and stares,
fumbling on words and
seeking cheers to go beneath me.
-
i keep finding myself,
i keep counting to 10
then tapping,
random clapping
then zen
and then present moment beings
to bring me gifts,
lifting me higher.
make something of nothing.
