Mayah Seals
Sitting on the window pane
You look out at the autumn skies
Remembering the events of a month pass
It all plays across your eyes

The loss of the friend you thought you knew
Your family falling to ruins
The pain of falling victim to abuse
You wish none of it was true

Then, the sky is dark
Lightning flashes
Thunder rumbles
And all your electricity crashes

A tornado swirls close to your home
Dust flies through the trees
The ones you know run for their lives
But you open your arms, ready to be free

You open your eyes
The tears begin
You let out a saddened sigh
No, not this time, for it was the storm in your eyes again

Nicole
Oh it's sad to see the summer go
When we just began having fun
But it's terrifying to think
That soon we won't be so young.
Next year we'll be gone
Out of this town
And away from these people
That we've grown up with all along.
So it's time to make a change
Leave our mark and take control
Scream 'forget it all'
And just let everything go.
And if we don't return someday,
To these streets among our journeys
We still won't forget;
It'll live on forever in our memories.

what is this madness in the world??
how is this even happening??
so, we have not enough scourges...??
matters little what creed or colour

these are human beings
just like you and me
and children...

no, this is insane
perhaps I have not enough in me
to understand this level of madness
to cope with this


this is insane

feather

I am . . .
the heaviest feather you won't lift
the most involved friend

I am also . . .
the easiest love you can't find


dip then, this shy feather in penumbra ink
and let sunspots permeate mistiness

and I is . . . also the 12th letter of the alphabet
(gosh, I think! lol)





sub-entry: siphon


it was so stormy and windy earlier
now
deathly quiet
not a leaf moves
still air

silent tornado
slow siphon

clutching onto the roof of your sanity
whilst sliding down the tiles of mine
purchase being lost as fear sports
its chameleon-jacket

when I wake in the morn
all my reassurances
down the drain
again

where did my happy thoughts fly to?
are they caught in a branch
or trapped in my mailbox?

time to start again
build a new day
what mercy . . . to be given another day
with you :)

Hammock - I Can Almost See You
 Aug 2013 Mercy B
Infamous one
Home on a Friday night reading a book
Ideas to write add light to my night
Being straight edge no crowd to call my own
Im not into drinking or smoking trying to better myself always
Id rather be constructive instead of self destructive
Bust my *** for **** pay hoping to move up at work
I'll never kiss *** but hope my efforts never go unnoticed
The changes I've made are for the better can't stay down forever
Doesn't happen right away working hard for that day to come

Divine Minds Transcend

There is so much more than what we see
what we fear and choose to perceive
what we're told we must believe
a place that's hard to conceive
a portal to a world beyond belief
Since birth, it waits for you and me
a world beyond a lucid dream
I can tell you where this portal leads
it leads to a cure for humanity
So step onto the magic train
and learn to accept your certain death
For life is nothing more
then fabricated reality

Fate, it seems is not without a sense of irony

I finally broke free of the evil me
it wasn't church that set me free
it wasn't drugs from psychiatry
it wasn't money that made me see
I had to die from this reality
and accept my certain death

It's your turn to consider the facts
now breathe a bit and try to relax
Just one second as I remove the mask
then a crack like a whip and a panic attack
No slack as you slip into a static bath
your vertebrae split you are severed in half
You blast away and never look back
the math adds up so you have to adapt
Half of you is lost and your soul is cracked
the other half swirls in the endless black
As you float down an uncharted path
you finally breakthrough at last

All you thought you knew from life is shattered
as you step into the looking glass

What ya doing?

Cheating on you.

With who?

"Here are the names of my lovers."^

Oh I thought it might be with all your you-think-I-don't-know semi-secret lovers on
HP.
Caught, and laughing, and loving it. Boys and poets: don't leave your tablet and you guns
unlocked.

^See "Here are the names of my lovers,"
from earlier today.

Timeless Poet

Who called me that?
Why make this line item,
A poem?

What means this timeless?
That
There is not enough
Time to elaborate all that I can conceive?

No, mundane, nothing more.
The POW poems arrive at all hours,
And we no longer care when and if you sleep,
For plain the answer, your internal clock, askew,
The answer already poetically enshrined,
Nevermore...

Did you deceive yourself,
As is your vanity customary,
That your scribblings
May last one day longer than your physical self?

Dddddelusionary, like confectionary,
God tasting for a few seconds,
Then it is just a song
Of get a long little doggies!^

Perhaps the phrase reversed,
The meaning peversed?

Poet Timeless.

Ah that's it!
Lay down your crafty pride, egotist,
On theTemple Altar,
It is already but a burnt sacrifice!

Before God, there will always be poets.

Yours the mantle to carry till you fall,
Then another man's children will lift up words
In combinations denied you.

They will take your scribblings,
Rearrange,
Just as you did, unawares,
There is nothing new under the sun,
Especially the illusion that there is
Something unborn yet to say.

Ah Poets,
Egotistical tools,
So easy to fool...

Don't care much about the beginning
Just want a happy end
If I knew that you were leaving
I would have taken time to beg
Now I'm left with nothing
Out of nothing less
Than what it is I started with
Before it is you left

Out of all that I remember
Nothing is the same
The night is cold and bitter
When daylight takes the blame
Inside the steady glow of fire
Throws shadows on my face
Taking hold of memories
That once held warm this place

Don't care much about the beginning
Just want a happy end...
