Poetic T Jul 2017
Could we all be insane, am  I the only
one who makes sandcastles out of
sea water just to watch them collapse.

Like my thoughts, building them
to heights that never stand up to the
reasoning, before they collapse inwards.

Am I the only one that touches my heart,
feeling it beat coldly, living externally
but dead within myself I hear copse voices.

I build sandcastles in the sea knowing that
there momentary, pretty voices telling me
that life is a dream, wake up and die already.

Shapes Of A Heart Breath
Poetic T Jul 2017
The shape of a heart isn't the
edges, its what collects inside.
memories of what was enlightening
brightening the darkest of times.

A singular touch, weakening the
sorrow, forefeeling the pieces that
were needing a loving touch.

Past collections that mend every
pain that was in my past.
You mould my heart...

I cant imitate the sensitivity that
your recreate with a loving touch,
But you words fill up the corners of
a heart that absorbs your every word of love.
Poetic T Jul 2017
Lonely is a statue in a room
of movement, I'm static in loneliness.
The collection of others looks onwards.

My smiles static on the reflections
gazing in my heart. Never showing
others the loneliness woven inside.

I want to be more than a ornament
in a room of life. Finding it hard
to breath in a room I'm drowning within.

Why cant I be the flower that radiates
instead of the crystal rose, whose petals
never glisten in colourful  hues of life.

I Want To Feel Again
Poetic T Jul 2017
I sent a telegraph to your heart,
but the wire was cut before my
thoughts reached you.

I sent a letter to collect on your
doorstep, but I never posted
enough emotion.

"Return to sender whispered
within its closed reflection.


I'm incomplete with out you next to me,
faded words remembered before you left.
Incomplete emotions are never heard,  
I wait on the porch for any word.

But my needing is versed as my tears
fall, never captured by you feelings.
I'm incomplete without you, needing
you more than breath, I'm all alone.

A Stone Of Love In A Pond
Poetic T Jul 2017
We a but a moment of life,
sometimes we slowly fade.
Not on our own accord,
But life throws a stone in a
                 pond of reflection.

Love is eternal, mortality is
a curse on our yearning of love.
where we wish for the ripples
to reach the shores
                                 they fade.

But love isn't a ripple its what
swims beneath. The stone may
sink, but its motion is felt beyond
the surface. Love never sinks it
                         only gets deeper

More Moments That Pass
Poetic T Jul 2017
Collect me in moments,
ever second I want more
minutes with every
collection that passes.

I want more hours with
my family,
a collection of memories
that are collages in my thoughts..

We are sunsets never knowing
the moment we shall set, but never
rise to the love that slept next to us.
Live every second, as they fade fast.

Our Own Thoughts Aruge
Poetic T Jul 2017
Why do I have to verse in
                           sequential motion.

Poetry is a hurricane within
                            silent altercation.

Arguing within ones voices
                           collectively stalemating.

But words drink within thoughts,
                           Spilling on exposed pages.

Shadows Others Put Upon Us
Poetic T Jul 2017
We are a version that is dictated
by ourselves, not others dictations.
We write the verses of our own lives,
scripting every contemplation of decisions.
  
Never rely on the words of others to
push you where you want, need to be.
No one is throwing pennies into the bowl
of pity, only you can rise above your failings.

But you reach with each moment, sweat and
reflections of when you fell down picking
yourself up. Higher than when you collected
back to reality, and believe when you rise above.

"We may get knocked down, but only we
can raise above where we fell,


*"Be brighter than the shadows others put upon you,

robins play [h]
Poetic T Jul 2017
robins play
bathe soothes tired wings

bluebells blossom.

wings flutter silently
rainbows linger in flight

flowers blossom elegantly.


gentle spikes protrude
slumbering

winter tide falls.


giants slumber
awaiting seasons new life

honey dreams await.
Poetic T Jul 2017
Strangling upon the reflection
of self,laughing as ones own
hand engulfing  the voice trying
to expel the words of
                                  "Help me.

Amusing, ones own words
                   crying for comfort.
But finger tips swallow regrets.

Her demons spoke upon
         her fingers, play things
of woeful intentions.

"We can help you find fulfilment,

Her hands are stronger than one first
thought, gripping me to sleep.

A mind stays awoken, within the clasping
moments of ones self devised demise....

Watching Words Pole Dance..
Poetic T Jul 2017
Words poll dance on my thoughts,
             seductively caressing without
a singular touch.

I throw syllables, and verses
            wasting thoughts that
pay nothing forward.

Except the gratification of my minds
             next thought,
forgetting what verse I just threw forth.

I'm broke of expectations,
                  but I just watch them dance.
Pole dancing words, seductive linguistic verses.
Poetic T Jul 2017
Outside a box is lonely.
               where 6 sides dwell
others huddle in a safe place.

But I'm alone like a star lingering
              within the dark places.
No other near, space is my virtue.

Where I linger though others collect,
              Shining in collective thoughts.
A radiance I never thought expelled anywhere.

I was alone, outside a box, crumpled sodden.
             recycled old thoughts,
But we need not a box to package ourselves in.

There is an awakening,
                   not to packed away,
We are a new generation of consenting reflections.

Others Words Sink Deeply
Poetic T Jul 2017
A capture on
               the eyes

That stain
        the thoughts..

Never washing away

Just
      lingering
within a muse.
Poetic T Jul 2017
Glimpsed upon, hideous within the standing
others thoughts turned away.
For what was inside was perceived as inner
beauty, a collection of actions and feelings
portrayed within not the falsehood of exteriors

That which hung on the feature's deemed
those as shallow, unenduring a collection
of porcelain frailties  in compositor.  
Caring upon there grandeur and not the
reflections of others only gorging of
there own painting of perfection.

Repugnant of the stereotypes of before,
now those born of perfection frond upon.
Are we not on a merry go round of reflections.
Finding others of difference, not as we want
to perceive. Beauty is sometimes the curse of
those that wear it, for beauty is on the inside.

Tears Like Whale Songs
Poetic T Jul 2017
Her tears though silent were like whale songs,
resonating with those around her, they sang
of swimming within loneliness, in an ocean of others.

Cresting on the shores of her cheeks these majestic
emotions collected. All the time serenading her
reflections that were submerged deep within.

All because a harpoon had cleaved upon her beating.
Love was viewed in her eyes by another who sailed
the ocean of her heart. But then took a shot from the bow.

Her heart sank into a ocean of tearful solitude.
Claiming another harpoon he sailed off into the sunset,
but was sunk by the cannon of another's jaded heart.

Her tears though silent were like whale songs,
resonating with those around her, they sang
of swimming within loneliness, in an ocean of others.

Mind + Palm = Paper
Poetic T Jul 2017
There is a fabric that is woven between
the layers of now and then. Each is a
collection of verses written in the glimpses
& the  unnoticed collection that are both.

Coalescing between the triangle of focus,

"Mind = floating verses not solid.
"Palm = solidifying thought to motion.
"Paper = Forms of others visibly static.

Once the fabric is woven from the layers,
from birth to life to a coffin of white.
Paying respects reading the wording that
are visually passive, cognitive imagery  birthed

I See What You Did There
Poetic T Jul 2017
I see what you
did there....

But I'm not falling
for it...

I'm not going to read
any further..

Do you no why??

Its because I'm
reading this...

In short bursts
that elongate a few...

Words

To make some thing
that means nothing.

But I'm still reading
this "How.....

I see what you did there...

Paper Rainbows
Poetic T Jul 2017
Paper rainbows were hanging
lucid on the breeze of my reflections.

But then my emotions collected
in pools of stagnant regression.

Negative echoes only hung now,
a noose of happier times swaying.

Paper Boulders
Poetic T Jul 2017
Paper boulders wash
            up on the shores
of my feet.

Discarded contemplation,
             no longer lingering
on pristine white.

But gives metaphors for
               reflective meanings,
another falls, washed up words.
Poetic T Jul 2017
I have no paper but
my mind is like sand.

Where other thoughts
erode the original with
graffiti of useless anythings

I have no paper but i'll
hang on to this piece till
my mind doodles over it again.

Antidote 10w
Poetic T Jul 2017
Pains gauging  
           emotions...

Looking across the room

my pain relief...
when ever in pain my wife is the antidote, just a look soothes me.
Poetic T Jul 2017
You were the frame, and I the
picture that fits within just right.

Time may fade my pixels,
         you may discolour from
former glories.

But when were together we
                  hang just right..
Poetic T Jul 2017
I could haemorrhage every verse that
                                                   pains me.
Lines that penetrate deeper than
                                                what is penned.

Lying motionless on the wounds
                                            that never heal,
confusion of what is my pain
                                            and written verse.

I have hollow veins, nothing more to say,
                                       altercations of a heart and self.
Looking beneath, I have scrawled a thousand
                                       pains but there is nothing is seen..

I`m Not Your Reflection
Poetic T Jul 2017
Empty silhouettes gather around
my footsteps sweeping me in the
current of what's expected of me.

I'm not a reflection of you, no matter
the pressures, pushing me into a tide
of despair, I'm going under do you care.

Collecting my discomfort, I etch it word
for word. Anxiety drains from my wrists
flowing within each syllable, scaring paper.

Ill never be a perfect copy of your footsteps,
drained of self, I'm a fractured reflection.
I'm tired, I need to be a reflection of me.

Faliures In Unseeing Eyes
Poetic T Jul 2017
The world is a mirage of echoes,
versing past my vision like illusions.

I try to reach out, but shadows hold
no grasp of my disappointment.

Failures  mirror on myself as they cling
to my insides like teardrops of acidic despair.

They melt away at the picture perfect hollow
smiles that are cracking within each falsehood.

I'm tired of the scars of my past, stories that
bled, healing but still bleeding beneath myself ..
Poetic T Jul 2017
I waded in her love canal,
swimming deep.

Letting the waters splash
                     over me...

Against the tide of her emotion,
the waters became still, relaxed.

I was submerged,
                       relaxing within her.
Till it was my time to feed
                                     her inner thirst.

A Bride Of No Vows
Poetic T Jul 2017
Beneath the white snow of her
flowing gown,
                 a beauty is motionless.

Waiting for her moment as wilted
rose petals fall motionless,
               crimson tainting her purity.

The words still lingering, buried within
never to be exhumed from her thoughts.

This bride forever waiting , still holding
on to the rose, she is wilted like it,
but her beauty is motionless as others cry.

What Fell Made Silence
Poetic T Jul 2017
Laminated echoes gaze
                                outward,
never seeing..  just static...

Whispers illuminate
                               inwards,
coalescing on this mausoleum.

All past voices now collecting in
cobwebs decaying, hollow.

Out the window.. there is nothing
Poetic T Jul 2017
It was not long ago when my HP
became a chopping board...
You see the internet as it was called
DIED, expired, perished with but...
a blank page greeting my vision.

Panic ensued smart phones became
like nokia's overnight used of all things
like talking and texting... TEXTING..
But where one moment faded,
Life became normal, people talked to
another, read books.. learnt...

Fake news was now a myth as everything
was real, TV radio, papers were growing
in popularity, paper was the new cool...
Books were selling, so many trees became
words again. Me I wasn't that fused..
I wrote on a note pad, not a Mac.. paper..

The internet died a while back, but humanity
got a little bit of its self back, the company of
others thrived. Friends where real, not some
status on a screen or board. I use my HP for
a chopping board now..
its good for dicing onion you see...

A Poet Died In Mid-Verse
Poetic T Jul 2017
My friend of ink has become static...
her words have faded.. still moving
but no words will now feel emotions.
She has moved on to a place more
than any spoken word...

I will read all that was before, we argued
more than a married couple, but were
friends of poetic verse...
She was taken, before her last verses were inked
on the white, the collection on verse.

I will miss my friend of verse, she was the opposite
of my ink, the contradiction of my words...
I cried when I learnt her words were silent.
But in my thoughts she will always make my
poetry better, she was my friend of poetic verse.
my poetic friend has died I am shattered, crying inside as my little ones are close..

Standing In A Full Lift
Poetic T Jul 2017
I stood there a glare of stone,
                       others heaving.

Blaming the next to them for
this blasphemous action....

As each floor was reached

"You all should be ashamed,

Everyone looking red faced...

My daughter and I were the
last ones off.
She looks at me and smiles.

"Silent but deadly Daddy,

Laughing out loud, she says;
"I just left the next occupant
                               a little gift,


**"Takes after her Daddy that one...

You Needed Fresh Wood..
Poetic T Jul 2017
Your heart was like
an open fire...

Burning me with its
need of warmth..

Then I urinated
on it...

Just to see you
reek of
      smouldering
contentment...

I was the flame,
but you needed
more wood to stoke
in your fires..

Here's some matches,
light the doused cinders
the wood will not burn
the same....
Poetic T Jul 2017
In a universe of sunsets
we linger on the fading
of luminosity not realizing.

Nothing sets, we just move
from the view of another...

Our tears evaporating in to
metaphors, voices of emotion
speaking silently as tears smudge
lingering meanings.

Are these the words of love or of
emotions fleeting like summer showers.

We are silhouettes dancing upon
the remainders of what lingered.
Coffins of hearts buried within us.
a eulogy of what was and past.

From ashes does a single flower grow,
reborn are petals not as before.

We gaze in opposite directions,
wondering if the other looks behind.

I stand there my palms waiting,
will we hold on to another, or forever let go.

A doppelganger of thought
Poetic T Jul 2017
Somewhere in this world
someone will be writing
this down, word for word.

"A doppelganger of thought,

Wondering what the other looks
like as they expel this on to white.
Words mirroring conciseness.

Cunts & Arseholes
Poetic T Jul 2017
When is ****
                not a vigina?

When its an *******
                     talking ****...

Anyone one can suffer from it...

Don't be the idiot, be the one smiling
as a gesture of goodwill give the finger...
Poetic T Jul 2017
The mind is a misuse of reflections,
we gaze upon the maddening of our
life and make order from a doddle
of randomness.

"A tree barks, still no one hears it?

We have the wisdom of moments,
but are we still infants in the scheme
of our growth. Are we still crawling,
but the illusion of us standing gently wilts.

"Freedom is a leash, getting tighter everyday,

Sleep is the illusion of time, for we wake
reliving the same day, but envision it as new.
Time is non-existent, were just a tape replaying
different moments till its overplayed then just ceases.

Silence Is More Profound
Poetic T Jul 2017
Words are noises that are lost in

Silence and motion explain more

If we stop the motions of our lips

Where Raindrops Whispered
Poetic T Jul 2017
Whispers fall on the garden of eternity,
where eyes blossom gazing forth into nothing .

Petals  kiss with lips of pollen into the void,
sunny days extinct within a breath of moments.

Cute were the last cries of luminosity echoing intimately  
as they surrendered, like raindrops in the gardens of eternity.

Under The Cracks
Poetic T Jul 2017
We never crack,

But are more roads on a journey,
that join,  memories of what never fell
                                     but stayed together..

Cracked but always whole... always be strong...
Poetic T Jul 2017
Like a puddle of conciseness I gazed within, I saw something,
not of reality, was this a nightmare in a teacup of reflections?
But as it evaporated I saw that wondering gaze among the
blind effigies that looked into nothingness.

I wondered my view upon the multitudes of shaded white,
what I hadn't seen as my overlook of what was inner most
close to my perceiving. Then I saw it, how did I not envision
this before? Was my gaze swollen with the shallow husks of
those clambering around me. Like an afterimage fleeting.

It was as if it was jumping in shallow puddles, for just a time
not to make waves in a sea of nothingness. For even the slightest
motions collected on the shores of others perceiving.
I was in a chess match, in a board of rookies..
Where those before me once me? I collected myself.

                  "Was I a pawn or another player in a field
                                                  of knights who had fallen,



I was weaving like spider silk, afterimages of where I
had once been. I had become accustom to the intricate
notions of what could and could not be grasped upon.
The blank ones even though of momentary emotions,
when it or they perjured upon them.

Then I noticed, they became more than just chandeliers of  
static light. Emotions were collecting in the corners of what
were vacant sockets of vision. I was no longer alone in this
place of shaded memories. Knowing that they were not of
the purring kitten collections, more of the great white playing
in a kinder garden of seals.

I watched as they consumed each pool, that which was
vacant now fell dissolving into tears of memories fading
beyond there contemplation. But as each painting of
memories was dissolved they were smirking as if they
or it knew I was watching the destruction of their actions.

Knowing what I had seen, I was the knight on a field of
pawns. They were innocence in playground of land mines.
Each step was unconditionally their continuation or the
inevitable disillusion to extinction. My morals were as in
life as in death, never to let harm befall those of needing.

**To Continued in the final part 4
Poetic T Jul 2017
We wandered our gazes
to the semidarkness Illuminated
above our sight.

Looking at the allurement
that were now empty caskets
hanging on tombstones of lights,
clinging to there eventual demise.

Lying on the earth,
                             we felt at peace.
Knowing we were one day
to be woven within its fabric,
empty shells of pebbles lost in
a lake of timeless moments.

We would be seashells on its shores
gently corroding with each wave.
till we were grains of eternity
variations of us everywhere.

Looking upon each other,
our hands clasping like a
                 momentary fissure
sealing a grain of moments
                 between ourselves.

"Death is a moment where life
is cherry a falling slowly,


For we each hang on delicate
                                moments,
growing till we do as everything
does. Descending till we evaporate
from reflections and thought.
