Poetic T Oct 2017
I collect my words,
  leaving them in my wallet
         for when their meant to be spent..

And like vouchers I spend my words
                                   at the right time..
here's a voucher with a ******* for
           the times you never stood by me..

And here is a coupon  
             for a rock when you needed me
                           and you can sink silently...

Question Mark
Poetic T Oct 2017
We all question our motivation and endeavours
                     of life's cause and effect.
Then we realise,
           life is a challenge of moments,
and how we play the game of our finite moments...


Do we give up?
              or do we collect our strength
      and show all that were
                   stronger than a question mark..

When We Sink Too Deeply
Poetic T Oct 2017
In corners we collect our wept
     collections that gather solitary dust.
But they gain weight with every oppressed
        emotion. We never show the slide delicately
forming in the cortex, showing indefinitely.
                   Repeats of what now show our faltering ability.

Were entombed in the heavy yesterdays
           that are swallowing us within dead pools
of contemplation. But we sink nevertheless always.
Rotting beneath boulders of self doubt, are
we able to ever gain breath against the obscure.
              Or will we just breath in stagnant air.
Poetic T Oct 2017
The voices are withering  the vine,
with every leaf that crumbles..
they speak louder than mine.

When they talk, they do not scream..
softly spoken needles are driven in
to my mind and they whisper things..

See what they what they say,
painted emotions white washing
all cognitive responses of mine.

They look behind you, not me...
you reading this see the darkness
piercing you with chills while reading..

When Paper Aeroplanes Fall
Poetic T Oct 2017
There were words scribbled in
pencil, on a singular piece of paper,
I folded into a paper plane...

Throwing it from the balcony of
my window, I was single never finding
love. But I threw my feeling out into
the world beyond my reach...

I waited for days, but never did my
thoughts fly towards me..
they must have statically landed
beyond the reach of other hearts..

Wrote within I had penned simply.
"If my heart glides to  you and you find
my words of merit, let your kisses envelope
my wings and glide back to the window of my heart"


Do you realize how far a paper plane laden with
emotions can fly, it never sank.. But floated on
the breath of loneliness, until it found a window
of opportunity. folded words were read upon.

Days had ventured past my window until a
letter fell though my door.. And with it words.
"Though you flew to me, I found it easier for
my words to walk to you doorstep an read my words"
  

When the walls of trepidation fell, and I saw the
mirror of my word I knew that my hart had flown
true. You were the wings of my thought and I was
the reflection that brought you to my heart.

Grateful Moments
Poetic T Oct 2017
That moment when a gesture
heralds the thought of contemplation
and you revaluate your attention.  
no longer do you feel sullen within,
knocking on the doors buried thoughts.
for one single action can create ripples
upon the deliberation of what we,
l have to be thankful for with a single action .
Poetic T Oct 2017
Swallow lakes of onyx consume
my breath, as I lie asphyxiated
beyond the waking moments.

I'm drowning with the perspiration
of what clings to my eyelids.
Like cement clinging onto the fluttering
of still eyes sinking deeper from the shore.

Where I was once in the realm of cognitive
sleep, I fall deeper into the shallow
graves of that cling to my slumbering mind.

Have you fallen into a place that makes even
your breath chilled. Could you climb that
ledge of despair as your being consumed
by the fear of never finding a path from darkness

Before The Rain Feeds
Poetic T Oct 2017
Collecting on the emaciated
entails of what is mummified,
it falls.

What cracked under the sinews
of momentary starvation,
now indulges on the fallen sweat
of obscurity hanging aloft.

Immersing what was once fragile
moments of decayed reactions,
now drink deeply within the
tears immersing senses of rain.

Never Noticed I Was Here..
Poetic T Oct 2017
I was a withered monument
of forgotten reflections..

No one realized I wasn't there..

A shadow lingering in corners,
         but never seen..

I was apparition of the lingering
   life I led.. no one noticed when I was gone..

Her Silence Was a Bouquet
Poetic T Oct 2017
Glazed fragrances ascended
as her breath took form of
exhaled emotions...

I always saw flowers in her
every breath, petals falling
when they expired..

Her silence was a bouquet...

Glass Reflections Spin
Poetic T Oct 2017
Doused in empty caskets,
                   littering the floor..

Drink entombed him.
Poetic T Oct 2017
I was the light house gauging the trouble
crashing on the green seas beneath my
window. Rough seas, vocal waves of
perpetual ship wrecks..

I would gaze upon the shoreline
of my view, looking for any trouble
that could wash ashore. Momentary
riptides of hormonal adolescence gained.

What could take a life, a single moment of
not watching the shore. So I shone my  
gaze upon another's abandoned hopes,
leading them from the rocks of anguish..

That day I was the lighthouse of reality,
when below waves were gathering.
I was a light in moments of disarray,
But on that day no one washed ashore.
When I was younger in youth, there were bad apples, I don't think they meant to be, but on one day one apple had something that could end a life with just a pull of a finger.. so I warned the other.. I think I saved a mistake that day as he never took the challenge and the other was never so stupid to bring that out again...

If We Were Suns..
Poetic T Oct 2017
If mankind were a sun, would it dim
at the sullen forces each expels?
Not controlling the innate emotions.
Would it just burn bright for a time,
expelling  he need to be seen and heard.

Could we in power our reactions to not
consume, but to burn slower over time.
Nothing is between our actions and emotions,
we are the heat of each and every moment.

If we were a sun, could we not give light
to our contemplation, enlightening not
just ourselves but the spaces between our
reactions. Would be not burn brighter if
we took a moment to see the reaction within.

Breath Of Seasons Exhale
Poetic T Oct 2017
The breath of change collects on all,
once plumes of growth wither beneath
the slicing silence of onyx nights.
Collecting grains of light from the day..

A flurry of hues depart there podium,
like a crescent of static moments descend
down to there inevitable serenity..
When breath collects they are fleeting momentarily.

Exhalation collects on the shivers of bare branches.
Unclothed of there foliage, they are but shadows
of life's abundance. Now they stand sullen waiting
patiently for the winds of change to once again blow.

Our Brows Tell Our Story
Poetic T Oct 2017
Were vagabonds of the streets!
each one a collection of memories,
carried like a hearse on our shoulders.
Waiting to be buried in shallow graves.

Did you read every epilogue of sadness
that collected on so many brows...
Each a sentence of our life deleted
by life's eroding moments.

We could hold life in single use bags.
Never reused but fading at the handles
of life's weight. We collect like refuse
in the corners of close shutters, static.

Did you read every epilogue of sadness
that collected on so many brows...
Each a sentence of our lives deleted
by life's eroding moments.

Time is chains on the pressures of
every moment, every step reminds us
of all the mistakes that brought us here..
Life is smothering us as we sleep alone..

Between Air And Earth
Poetic T Oct 2017
loitering between
         earth
                       and air,

A cord of

As we regret or
                breath relief,
of life's final moments..

Cream slips down my throat

I lick my sticky lips, fulfilled I fall to sleep..

Which is Witch?
Poetic T Oct 2017
which one was the one that the
Witch made into a frog "Riibbbittt"
which frog is your husband?

Witch could you please use
which ever spell you used to
Witch your curse upon...

which frog will slimy lips kiss,
Witch did laugh as kisses did kiss
which one please the wife did ask..

Witch looked as tears did fall,
which one do you love was asked?
Witch looked at her emotions..

Which one is ugly but has beauty within?
Witch looked at her eyes pondering downwards.
Which one was chosen? a kiss did show.

Witch smiled as smoke collected around all,
Which kiss saw beneath, a man now stood
Witch did smile, love is beneath the many layers

Witch taught a lesson of which we must all learn,
Which is that we must look beneath to find love..

The Master & The Slave
Poetic T Oct 2017
We speak to the master
                 but our voice
is like coins down a wishing well
                                     Wasted...

Our hands clasped up,
           looking upwards to eyes
                   never staring
towards our failed gazes...

The shackles upon a minds
                       contemplation
wrenched from what is clearly
      misinterpreted but still is clenched.

But there are a growing number
                    that see no master
and are slave to none...
      The shackles of eyes open...

There is a master and a slave,
      through mans voice the master
controls the herds..
           but now the cane has snapped.

Now our own voices are heard,
          not bowing to another's whim.
We are not slaves on bended knee...
      hands clasped as if we are in the wrong..

Words Out Of Context
Poetic T Oct 2017
When words are spoken
      then man will ponder on every meaning.
Roads will be viewed
          and taken upon the thoughts of all.

Some will say there road is the true one,
       while others will say theres is higher
                                         than those below..

Putting them on a ledge of ego and contemplation..

Silly Little Haters
Poetic T Oct 2017
Baiting the haters
           lining up the
hook to catch a *****..

Wait for a while..
       they bite quickly.
And then the tethers pulls..

Another hater baited
        showing there true colours..
Fake faces fall, showing truth..

"Haters are people thinking there strong"
          *"But really they're weak of morals"

Inner Strengh
Poetic T Oct 2017
We are our own stairs
        everyday climbing higher.
We may fall,

Climbing those steps of inner strength again...

Your Own Strength
Poetic T Oct 2017
When you realize
that the only
                     strength
you need is your own.

You find that you can
pick yourself up
                             faster.

Rather than depending on
            others who walk
                              past your pain.

Old Swaying Memories
Poetic T Sep 2017
Old rocking chairs sways
       in the wind of
                              yesteryears.

Collecting fragile memories
      viewed over silent
                              contemplations.

The world moves on
                       but memories
                viewed sitting here
Poetic T Sep 2017
I stood in a line of
              collected thoughts.
Each waiting to be served.


The line like a funeral procession,
                       slow motivation.
The moments that collect at the end
              packaged like meaning something.

But everyday I slumber in these wastes
                                                     of my life,
Creation is more than this, just walk away..

When Clowns Bleed On Petals
Poetic T Sep 2017
Within beauty  
there is always the smile
                         of a clown

Its lips red bleeding on
             the petals of white.
Rose's haemorrhaging.

Within the fragrance of
                      clotted aromas,
we cling to the reflections of beauty.

Corrupted within the smiles
of a clown,
          bleeding on petals
of white roses corroding.

Upon The Creases Of Gaia
Poetic T Sep 2017
Her sleep is sullen, gently does she move
the garments that adorn her.
Creases forming over time,  
ridges adorning her higher reaches.

Upon these elevations does life cling,
majestic in its existence.
Beauty hides in grace and a thirst
for survival. upon high there is
No good or evil only life.

Upon the highest reaches of this breathing
world, where breath is far and in-between.
You will find a place of wonder and desolation,
each in harmony. Life is death and existence
is but a moment passing within creases..

Hanging, Evaporated Senses

Where soulless white shades hang.

When The Veil Creaks Open
Poetic T Sep 2017
Will you walk with me,
          will you hold my hand
we'll skip to the sounds of
     moonlight as it shines off
                    the blades we hold in our hands...

Our masks hiding our secrets,
        The enigmas of each others plan..
You like to cut, I like to stab..
As long as there's  wine flowing
we'll drink dry to every woman & man..

They thought we were gone,
buried beneath so much dirt.
                              But we breathed
our last, with that a vengeful curse.

"We breath our last, this is our last verse,
        For when the veil falters,
                for when our names are practiced..
We will arise to claim what is ours,
      Two children will wonder,
Two children will smile with glee.
For those that put us beneath the dirt,
         will bleed and feed underneath.."


When the sun arises and the covering
of night does die in luminescent decay...
Know that were back where we were.
but we brought some friends to keep
                                           the loneliness away!

There not dead, a heart still beats.
          But there staring at our decaying vision
our mouths silently open.
Were inhaling every last breath,
      for not with  moment will we breath again
                    But there's always next hollows eve.

When The Winds Blow..
Poetic T Sep 2017
the sorrows of breath will seed the
                                land with bare fruit.

As the voices of nature reveal there
                                                          truth,
               that were just ants in a flood.

Silly little things, a food chain of nothing,
                  for earth is the hunter
                                    So don't upset her.
Poetic T Sep 2017
When the stones sink into my depths,
stirring murky sediment in my mind.
But its not only one that I throw within,
ripples of numbness collect in places
that were hollow, but now filled with
vacant white noise..

Grey shades now colourful eclipses,
for when I see the sunset of my actions
I know that I must sink stones once again.
But what if I were to throw more than
the recommended amount?
causing more than just voice to fade out.

I read the sign hanging on the side
of my emotions, and realize that these
aren't what I need. Throwing them around
isn't filling a gap its stitching it together
with faded voices. That instead of whispers
they produce an itch I cant scratch.

Our Journey Through Reality
Poetic T Sep 2017
We are but a raindrops
                        among many

All falling together,
                  never  knowing

But its the falling that
                            gives us gravity...
Poetic T Sep 2017
Where footprints in the sand once stayed,
                      one is now washed away..
And we look around hoping one day ours
                       will be joined by another's.

Different from before,
                       But for now we walk on the beach
  looking at each sunrise,
                     because there is always another day..

Why Is Light Given Grandeur
Poetic T Sep 2017
Late motions collect on the views
                            of so little movement,
but when the twilight falls
even though shade is vacant on the
vocation of words..

Every movement is a stepping stone
on the creation of creativity that
                                     wonders blind,
But sees more than when the shimmers
of daylight plague the motions of unseen eyes
and everything is static

till wandering nightfall plays its games its games
on the fluid of darkness.
Everything breathes clearer when luminosity
                      doesn't suffocate it with brightness..

I Fell Over You
Poetic T Sep 2017
I tripped over your ill
angled shoe..
Face planting the floor..
scuff marked pride,
as I got up stupid woman,
I uttered this under my breath...

I tripped over your ill
angled shoe..
coffee in hand,
a master of balance..
Not one droplet spilt,
but I saw you awkwardly
gaze at me, and I smiled.

The next few days,
I took another path.
missing your haphazard
           feet entrapping my gaze..
I pondered the view,
the reason for my needing to  
                                        stumble...

Walking past where you sat,
                      now vacant.
I was glum at the thought
of you not fumbling my stance.
Collecting myself on days past,
I walked a new path to my office.

I tripped over your ill
angled shoe..
Face planting the floor..
scuff marked pride.
Getting up I asked you
a question..

"I've fallen for you so many times
               I think I'm in love,


You can only fall so many times
before you realise that its love.
I showed the marks that I'd
fallen for you,
                  more than most would.

into our lives, she is the love of all our lives.

Farewell the follies of
past glances that collected
on the shores of my frail
                             subconscious.
They were luminescent beneath
the tides of my reflection.
But with every wisp that was
guided upon a collection of
clustered misinterpretation gathered.

Metaphors were lost in the deluge
of misinterpreted verses that were
washed away with  linguistically
congested verses.

I wanted the tide of my reflections
to be looked upon.
Looking inward to those who
gazed, but my translation of
simple waves, collected on the
thoughts and were lost in tides
that were lacklustre.

Not reading into the crest of thought.
My words were in a riptide..
pulled out beyond everyone's thoughts
Poetic T Sep 2017
The branches hung, leaves long since
vacant of there mooring.
All had wept like tears, but beyond
their holdings had become decomposed
words on the ground,.. "Death lies this,

But beyond, within the reaches of
exhaled breath, travelling further than
that which had expelled it,  fallen on the
ground of ill given recourse, open mouthed.

This lingering tomb of wooden effigies,
collecting fallen moments beneath their
husks of bark, only feeding on the fallen,
but never showing life, dull branches hang.

There is a path that is naked like a ******,
but this offering bled its curse within this
place, and everything is now exposed.
Feeding on those of frail thoughts,
who collect like berries crimson on the ground.
Poetic T Sep 2017
Tome stones of onyx and bleached
moments collect next to another.
Playing the theme of silent screams,
that are out of tune, but never heard.

Rising, scratching to that place that is
never reached. But they climb on broken
keys that scream on the bones that
are so dull and shimmer in failings.

They endeavour to reach a place that
is beyond there influence. The charcoal
keys are the prolonged motions of a place
where they linger in echoing silent screams.
