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..
no
the black rose Feb 2020
no
oddly enough,
i feel nothing.
although i've said it countless times before;
i guess practice really does make perfect.
-
im learning to enjoy the present moment
while still anticipating another.
the black rose Apr 2020
not to brag & boast,
not very often,
atleast.
there's many still none quite like one.

the black rose Nov 2018
no need to prove your worth to the weak that cannot comprehend.
there’s no need to put up a wall,
there’s no need to pretend.
stand boldly in your truth,
stand strong and raise hell.
don’t you cry out for help.
don’t lose yourself.
-
don’t allow a love so shallow to try to drown you.
watch the people that are fake,
they’re all around you.
only the depth is profound,
a love that cannot be found.
it’s higher, in a new dimension,
i’ve been searching the ground.
-
if true love is what you seek,
you’ll find it at your lowest peak.
because those that love you when you’re weak,
are the ones you’ll want to keep.
hello
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
the black rose May 2020
don't throw shade;
just burn some sage to give you clarity.
no one can test you,
'lest you feed into your savagery.
your mastery is whole,
so bring no drama to the soul.
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 Dec 2018
the goal is elevation.
consistent dedication
to complete separation
from everything that does not serve the person i am trying to become.
& though my value is downplayed
i know that this physical reality,
this ambiguous identity is not all there is to me.
i dare not subscribe to a world of lies
& desolation
disguised as everything i could ever dream.
i am more than what you see with eyes in collaboration with a mind stuck in a box
surrounded by mediocre thoughts
& needless intentions.
you say i am powerless because i see little value in this material reality
where appearance takes place of character
& the frailty that seeps though designer clothing is most genuine.
the black rose Apr 2018
the world's a ******* mess
its gone to ****
and i am every bit apart of it
i may have started it.
try to find a greater shade
to be the way
to lead the way
i need the way
teach me the way.

the worlds a ******* mess there is no love
we need the love
we need to love.
show us your love, or how to love.
show us to care, we need you here.
show us the light inside of us,
give me the light to shine for us.
the worlds a ******* mess
its gone to ****
is this what you planned for us?
do you look down on us?
don't frown on us,
we are so lost.
we need your guidance.
we need confidence.
as we try to find a brighter side
to an elevated higher side.
its out of sight,
give us a sign.
    oblivion,
wish i would go back
can i go back to no one?
can i go back to nothing?
my life's a ******* trip,
it makes me sick
im jaded, i hate it.
hate that im faking it,
as slow as im taking it.

can i love without losing?
how do i live without bruising?
no pretending, no delusion.
sweet, sweet oblivion.
inspired by jhene aiko's oblivion.
the black rose Apr 2020
nothing makes sense anymore...
how can one be ever so strange?
is your mind too expansive?
is your vision too vivid?
have you had a great awakening
or some strange attempt at mystic.
-
the black rose Aug 2019
like a sunflower in a bouquet of bright red roses..
you were chosen.
-
the weakest link,
or so it seems.
who'd ever think
a stoic queen
could be so far behind the scene
& never seen.
-
never seeking mere attention,
only focus is ascension,
elevation,
with intentions so pure...
-
and no one is really sure
who you are
or
whose you are
i swear they've never seen your kind.
so brilliant,
so divine.
so free,
and so inclined
to spread love & light,
with no motive or spite
just a vision,
a clear sight of
what's righteous.
...
the black rose Feb 2021
i see promise in the astral realm
to realize truth within the physical.
when normal dreaming becomes bore,
day dream wont let me explore far enough
to go deep enough to unlock words they wont say...
=
financial intelligence,
symbolic terms,
number codes
& sound programming.
progressing in alignment,
meeting guidance half way.
=
so now,
i take the first step.
if i look right,
i may look left.
who cares what's next?
unless creation turned creator.
wanna be way too involved
over simple catering to one-sided mono-polys.
=
polyester in the fields,
no more cotton to be reeled.
no more lovers left alive,
anywhere?
the black rose May 2021
its like all words turn to tear drops
in attempt
to introduce shallow to depth.
my excuse is deep sadness,
what's yours?
-
since my contributions are unsteady like the grounds i walk,
id rather not give nor take.
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.
the black rose Jun 2019
we're light walkers in the city of the dead;
the hopeless,
ill-motive,
un-focused,
and mislead.
-
we're everything they need
and
everything they fear.
we're everything they need,
& maybe that's why we're here.
-
can't relate,
can barely communicate.
we're seeking answers
and\or
means to escape.
                   but for some reason,
we never take the easy way out....
for some reason,
we always take the challenging route.

-
so we speak life,
we bring light.
we bring hope back into sight.
big magic,
no baggage,
no drama,
no tie in
the lower dimension.
only here increasing speed,
until the day of ascension.
the only lovers left alive.
the black rose Apr 2020
totems come as eagles
captures snake,
as great change
& mystery takes place,
on display as common interest...
its always deep beyond the surface.
omg
the black rose Jun 2015
***
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..
the black rose Dec 2018
i’ve been in love before,
but never like this.
a love straight from the genie
who granted my wish.
who said to hold you close,
to make you smile
in new ways
because
in a year or two,
the love-spell might fade.
he may lose the sight of
who you are
or what you’ve shared,
but don’t you be worried
and
don’t you be scared
because
true love never dies,
it never gives up
so cross up your fingers,
& wish yourself luck.
the black rose May 2019
if theres one thing thats real,
its that true love can heal
& reveal all you've locked up inside
& concealed.
to fall into arms that dismiss insecurities & inferiorities;
re-shifting priorities.
renewing hearts & souls,
taking on the roles of mystic healers,
anti-depressant dealers.
a change in demeanor,
when you feel her.
its like the pieces scattered
piece themselves together.
& nothing even matters,
for a moment or forever.
-
all that you need in this life of sin;
to find a love to take you deep within.
love.
the black rose Jan 2021
does a door have a lock?
are the walls even up
or high enough to comprehend what's beyond?
is anyone up there?
-
intertwining,
like healthy attachment;
mind seems empty handed yet still full continually.
who needs love anyway?
what is love anyway?
does love will to ease the tension,
where do words come in question?
-
run on sentences paint never ending stories of mine;
where i contemplate lines,
go out of mind,
& far enough in time to keep me vibin' high atleast...
-
i keep secrets far enough to keep me center,
i dont keep secrets more than anyone keeps guard.
whatever coin i flip,
im in process of aligning to destiny,
no questions
& if i question then that question is but an idea.
the black rose Dec 2018
opportunity knocked;
well
it banged.
awaking me from the sweetest dream of all the things that aren’t,
but could have been.
can they still be?
with hardened dribble on my cheek,
i groaned
“who’s there?
come in.”
hovering over me,
possessing feelings of mere affection
he just stood there.
i felt him
but i never looked up.
see,
i figured
if he wanted my company
he would have made it clear to me.
instead he stood embracing me,
steady mocking the mess i had made of myself.
he didn’t even offer to help.
not a small word or
a shy good luck.
not a simple you’re beautiful,
or demand to get up.
nothing.
he seemed scared.
was i that much of a monster?
a vicious scene to be feared?
the black rose Mar 2019
while you claim power,
sit on thrones;
i exalt the lowly ones.
no one man better than the next,
each one deserves acclaimed respect.
your horse high like your heels,
you say money is your power.
i come through and devour your opinions,
they dont matter.
a dollar holds no weight in the higher space.
in the sunken place everything praises ego.
you lack necessities now you are seeking hero.
in need of rescue,
let your money protect you.

the black rose Nov 2018
a present,
it’s seems valuable.
but really,
it’s a curse.
a presence has inhabited.
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.
follow me
the black rose Apr 2020
smoke-filled vessel,
neglecting liquid 'lest its true hydration.
the rise & fall are both too clear to resist.
-
a hope-filled sense of any tomorrow,
infused with espressos,
infused expressions
and the finest strain willing to enthuse my moods.
-
running wild,
not a trace of any patterns repeated;
making contact but only when needed.
the black rose Apr 2020
my nerves wreck upon confronting,
i'd rather stand back
at the back of the room.
find me at the nearest exit,
off-setting the center of attention.
avoiding conversation with
dismissive head-nods
& wondering why i came...
-
the black rose Jun 2021
is it the higher order construct
or impudent conduct,
is it only bore
or is there more?
to you,
to me,
there is a mystery that turns madness
to magic,
if we let it.
the black rose Jan 2019
you make everything your sword.
running back to misconceptions,
strength & wit play the accord.
un-intimidated by wisdom,
unbothered,
unchanging.
consistent and complacent
but the patience is ranging.
from steady to dying
unfit but you’re trying.
misfit,
no denying
there’s nothing to confide in.
but you envision a love,
unkind,
unrequited.
in desperate need of
a simple teaspoon of new guidance,
dismiss all of the bad energies you’ve invited.
we’ll only survive if we fight it.
the black rose Dec 2018
i am deep in relations
with a deeper meaning;
familiar to a larger view
of a picture that most
can only see a spec.
so when i’m distant
don’t you take it
as a form of disrespect,
or neglect.
my space
is required,
my ability to function
is in compliance with
my ability to be silent.
in solitude
i confide and
they say no man is an island,
i am an island,
isolated.
separated.
never to be integrated.
the black rose Sep 2018
i am from earth.
the planet with heart,
that fell out of touch with love
& is falling apart.
work in progress...
the black rose Feb 2019
love has turned us into enemies,
a love gone spoiled,
a broken bond.
we lost touch with loving energies
we’re enemies.
but we’re supposed to be in love.
love wasn’t enough
to keep us in love.
we’re out of touch
so beautiful,
what it could’ve been.
the black rose Mar 2020
you find interest in entering the walls of multiple;
i find my circle smaller,
does it even exist?
as it stands,
i reprimand all requests
that contribute not to what's next
but to what was...
don't lose sacred ties and connections
by the hands of
meaningless projections that feed your ego,
be disciplined
not desperate.
take it or leave it, right?
POV
the black rose Apr 2020
POV
i start to think i need to be the type of poet,
that resonates well with all sorts
& connects at first glance.
-
it drains me to want to be someone that i already am...
-
there's no right or wrong way when you're so introspective
that you only see the vastness of your being;
you only see far & wide,
endless possibility
& endless truth...
don't lose yourself,
just embrace your point of view.
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.
the black rose Apr 2019
made a mess of self-expression,
turned softness to aggression.
missed all the healing sessions,
now nothing's left to question..
-
pretty bird,
can you fly again?
pretty bird,
you are one with the wind.
you hit the window,
once or twice.
seeking distance,
higher heights.
you're so pretty when you cry,
you're so pretty when you fly.
pretty bird ♡
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.
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.

i’m bored now with commanders that force...
to command is like to force,
to demand is to endorse activation & alignment
by whatever your intention must be.
-
so your intention must be what you will to see,
being,
displayed before all seeing eye.
-
i’m surrounded by commanders of flame...
commanders beyond games
upon chess boards.
pure input,
raw export of what no longer serve we.
-
fall as waste or
stand in grace,
if you are worthy.
the black rose Dec 2018
make a home in your chaos,
embrace your inner madness,
it is better to light a candle
than to curse the darkness.

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.
the black rose Dec 2018
a certain chill across my skin,
it gives me goosebumps.
to look outside & see the skys all dark & gray.
to all the better days ahead of me,
with sadness as my remedy
it pays a homage to the storms
that passed my way.
-
the black rose Nov 2018
attention is expensive to pay,
not moved by the things that you say.
you feel a way,
it’s okay.
-
secure in the thought of not needing nobody,
but i be wanting somebody.
someone strong & passionate,
who can challenge the fear
of the unknown & the reality of what is right here.
someone kind and complacent
not weak and abrasive.
no words that can take him,
even if i do say so myself.
-
you’re the one and i see that,
& my reaction is a react.
not a distraction,
it’s a relapse.
... relapse.
the black rose May 2018
wondering why he ain't love you like you loved him,
but babygirl he never loved you, you just loved him.
you saw potential,
looks can be decieving.
you say he good but why this ***** so misleading?
all the i love you's, the future you done planned.
got you looking crazy,
you played right into his hands.
life on pause, what's the cause?
yo mind & body all fcked up,
gave birth to a baby.
tryna hold a ***** down who been acting shady.
i feel bad for you baby.
is this love?
is this what you been searching for?
you knew better, you knew whether you wanted less or more.
now you don't wanna love,
don't wanna trust,
or nothing.
heart cold as **** but all the ****** think you bluffing,
think you playing hard to get,
but you just trying hard to get
away.
you could tell 'em how you feel,
but you can't find the words to say.
see when you love someone,
when you in love so young,
that **** can change you.
when that someone didn't love you back,
that's the **** that changed you.
overtime that pain grew.
& you don't even smile the same,
**** that ***** changed you.

how you love yourself when the only person you loved don't even love you?
i hope you learn your lesson.
never put NO ONE above you.
let that ***** kiss & hug you,
fall deep into the words he say.
you ain't even realized
its just a game these ****** play,
to try to make you stay.
but babygirl he ****** up,
cause the thing that had you ****** up, got you on your **** now.
& you ain't tryna slip now,
on top & you won't get down.
forced you to pull yourself together,
& now you live like, its whatever.
& ****, you only getting better.
while he be out here looking bitter,
with some ***** that ain't 'bout nothing,
he be out here fake stuntin'
following trends,
following friends.
still the same ***** that you left there.
still try to show him better but he don't care.
cause it's money on his mind,
& weak ******* on his line.
he ain't realize,
that there's bigger **** to focus on.
nobody to paint him the bigger picture so his focus wrong.
but you fine & you know that,
so sublime & he know that.
steady wishing he could go back,
& make **** right.
but its too late.
ooou, i felt this one. s\o to all my ladies that let dat hurt goooo **'
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.
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.
                  *D.E.B

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..
the black rose Sep 2019
your access to the presence of the gods has been denied.
your weapons cannot prosper,

i know you've tried.
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.
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.

i believe in a creator,
the most diligent artist itself.
not man\woman,
not human at all;
a force greater than the most complex of understanding.
i don't believe in a saviour
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,
frequency,
vibrations high & low.
vibes everywhere you go.
