Tranquillity, the sea
                     I drown within.

Though no waves,
                I'm immersed
                          beneath.

Stillness withdraws,
                 breathless.
Poetic T Apr 2015
I have slowly drowned
but with no water in sight,
I try to keep my head above
but im slowly sinking out  of
sight.
  
I struggle, I fight that which
is slowly flowing over me,
Im trying to keep a float,
this is now my hell.
  
I am drowning with no
water in sight, do I give  in
let it take me, or fight and keep
myself  afloat.
  
One day I will learn to swim in
this ocean that is drowning me,
no water  in sight, but for now
I am drowning in despair, I hope
to never give into always fight.
Poetic T Mar 2019
As I drown beneath your smiles,
                you hold my head static.
Smiles gasp for breath, even though
             on the outside I'm holding it in.


And  as I sink to the bottom
          I  hold my last gasp,
Even though it hurts to hold this pose.

                    My life was suffocating smiles,

Chocking on every memory of what
             we once swam in I now know..



                   that I'm drowning.

And your
                           gently suffocating me beneath
        your words..

And I cant swim on the surface,
            I'm drowning
within you.
I`m

Dazed is the time like streaming
light it passes me by, my mind
spiked on a high be it by needle, liquid
pleasure that once pushed explodes in
my blood like a firework my mind
goes in to overdrive.

Days are but a number each passing
by, smoking the fumes to make my
next day melt away not caring as my
cares are lost in the smoke as it fades away.

Am I alive or dead does it matter, the only
thing is to keep me on this addictive high.
I remember my lastday that moment the high
hit, then darkness as this moment faded a
wasted time of addiction that has now cost me my life...

You were my dusk
                       to my horizon.

As somewhere we were either
      rising above
               or
s
i
n
k
i
n
g
                             below.

Hues at dusk kissed the luminosity
     clinging to the last vestiges
                  that were kisses sent
as a parting gift of crimson lipstick
                   shades  upon the atmosphere.

Horizons would be a breath of fresh air,
                     or downpours of emotion.
I could either be a fresh breeze of inspiration
                                on a new day.

Or missing you, a deluge of seasonal
                                        falling..

But you always managed to lift me up
                       no matter the day...

You made me look at what life was,
       and to always shine upon the moments
that help me rise higher everyday,

for the
               eternity of us...
Poetic T Apr 2017
We are but a lingering breath in the
                                  void of existence.

When we exhale a final vocalization
                of our moments that shed a tear.

We are but a grain of earth that grows
                          petals. that will always fall.

Our place is in memory, we are but a breath
                                               
                                              in a grain of sand falling.

Blankets covered the floor
White like forgotten snow
Ruffled in places,
Dust settled, grey patches in White
Foot touches floor, the blanket seeps red
Like a virus spreading ,
Consuming the white
The floor now like a wine,
A smell of copper
I touch the crimson,
A ripple spreads across the room,
From wall to wall,
Ripples come together forming more,
Then towards me they encroach
Liquid,
Scarlet,
Waves,
Washing over my feet,
A grip I feel as the crimson
Pulls,
Seduces,
Wrenches,
At my feet,
I collapse like a toppled tree,
The waves crash upon the wooden floor
Each like a hook pulling me in more,
Then I am consumed
Underneath the waves of crimson death
There is only darkness,
My screams unheard
Not alive,
Not yet dead,
I look up as the crimson turns white,
And where once there was liquid
There is now white sheets waiting patiently
For those who don't tread carefully
Only death does await.
Poetic T Apr 2020
Dying forlorn
a last breath


desolate isolation
Dying alone due to the virus.. I couldn't imagine it. peace to those who suffer.
this one brought tears to my eyes due to the 13 year old dying alone without his mum..
Poetic T Apr 2014
we are universe unto are
self's for we are made of
the stars, we are atoms,
molecules each orbiting
different things.

When we collide we create
another a new universe
is born from the star dust
of both and through time
it will grow.

Are universe ages, super nova's
explode as parts of the universal
body shuts down. Like all things a
universe too must come to an
end.

But a new one carries on, part
of the old universe does live on,
but now it has past on. all its suns
now dead extinguished, but remembered
not forgotten as each will be reborn
in the next generation of new star
dust and suns.
Poetic T Oct 2014
My Heartbeat is like
"Sonar"
Each beat radiates out,
"Penetrates"
The surroundings
It pings of others beats,
Repelled back to mine,
Secrets revealed within each beat
Friend,
Foe,
Hater,
Lover,
Each has its own reply,
With each beat I release
An essence of those who are
Looking,
Wishing,
Smiling,
Upon a look, each replying
As beats fasten,
Knowing the Sonar has
Penetrated deep within each ,
Showing there feelings,
That each beat echoes out to there hearts.
Poetic T Jun 2014
I am the land, you are the sea
You caress me.
Around my edges
Gently do you touch me
Washing your feelings up on my shore line
I feel your gentle touch.
But we can disagree
And I will rise up penetrating
Through your clear ocean
Fiery words bubble up
Each touching
Cooling
Hardening
Releasing steam,
You in your anger
Erode
Wash away
Take me in to your depths
After we are calm
Not as before
For we have changed
For the better or worse
We will have to wait and see
You are my ocean gently
Caressing me,
I am the land
you erode me,
flow over me,
We make each other compete
We are different,
But we match perfectly.
Poetic T Oct 2017
We must envision
                 the what's  
not the £$ signs...
we have to pull
               all humanity
into the link of every chain..

We must look the negative
                                        haves
and know everyone is worth
        more than the have not's.

We aren't worth more
                    than any other.
Each of us has our worth
              in a world of each other
Poetic T Nov 2019
The early bird
    Doesn't catch the

Because the worm
   Isn't stupid!

It's still fast asleep...

Life is death,
            breath is a tome.

And every step,
          we walk to
  

our carcass in earths grasp.
Poetic T Dec 2014
Two places as one,
Condensation mirrors both,
Heavens upon earth .
Mist on a cloudy day both white which is ground which is air
Poetic T Jul 2014
So long ago
It multiplied
Grew slowly
But as time passed
Growing,
Stronger,
Multiples,
Becoming one
Burrowing deep, contaminating
Turning green to dust,
What once was plentiful,
Barren,
Diseased,
Void,
It started long ago, but time is ticking,
It will consume till all is gone,
And this place of plenty not suitable for life
All is gone.
Poetic T Jun 2018
A thousand dreams woven
beneath the feet of hard working
                                         reflections.
But nothing ventured forth,
       like a corpse of bricked virtues
the land didn't give birth to life.

Only bricks of contemplation were
        built, and they were vacant
of any substance. For what is built
     had nothing to fill it only ideals.

For earth that shelter one,
       will endeavour to show no yield.
And only vacant ideals stand where
                   crops have faulted on brick..
Poetic T Apr 2014
The Easter bunny did hop
through the window in
to my house, he did hold
a knife to my throat, and
asked where I hide all his
children of chocolate through
out my house.

I showed the bunnies but
I had bit all their heads,
****** all the good parts
out, the bunny looked at
me enraged and asked if
I was sick in the head.

There chocolate you fool I
said, but the bunny stabbed
my ankles and as I fell to the
floor with one swing off came
my head.

So now do you think its funny to eat
a bunnies head, my wife came down
and found a bunny eating half a
chocolate human head....

Unstable voices rattle in bone.

Traversing in silent moments
where there was an eclipsing
of breath, caressing unspoken
words but everything silently
                                             narrated.

Nearly adjoining within each
others gravity, but still we were
shadowed by the others desires.
Collecting in the afterglow of
                                             emotions.

This was an eternity of moments,
a motion not to repeated in alluring
views, immovable, inseparable of
our inevitable paused
                                     joining.

You were my star, I was your moon,
eclipsing with our gradual passing.
Enticing the other until for that brief
amount of time lips met and time was
                                                   *motionless.

efflorescence dew
fluttering upon motions

tears of beauty fall
Poetic T Jun 2014
If my life was like a egg timer,
I would be born,
Have a child hood in seconds
My teenage tearaway would last moments then pass.

I would look back as the seconds past,
And think of things,
I could have done in those moments past.
Then my time would nearly be done,
My life has been a wild time of seconds and moments.

But the moments are over,
The grains have run out,
And as the timer is turned,
A new life is created
As the seconds pass and their life is lived out.
Poetic T May 2015
electrons do spark
energy transcends pure thought
both equally caged
electrical and thought as one trapped in a prison of bone.
Poetic T Mar 2020
What is beauty,
    if not bereavement
                    of exhalation.

Our symbiosis is just
elongated moments
   of perpetual pain,

and unending noise.

And when were void less,
         there is elegance
where our conclusion is

             peaceful silence.
Poetic T May 2016
And so the elements did wage bloodshed
upon the realms, and the natural world bled
in numbers. Obsidian did dredge seeping
upon natures frail innocence. And weeping
in sorrow as life was entombed beneath.
Its tears of ash sealed eternally underneath.

Cinders were bathed in heavens truthful tears
As the each contended with elemental  affairs.
Oak did lumber forward to entangle all within
roots, as the heavens screamed on soils sin.
Wood did splinter, shards impaling friend
and foe, collateral damage as anarchy did descend.

The earth bellowed as the onslaught of force
did disjoin the soil. A champion would endorse
the others right of battle, blades did clash
as such impacts did render all near by to ash.
brimstone against the clarity of diamond shards
As no ground was won as blows befell within yards.

Fighting still mummers as elements do now crusade
In natural form. Allegiances do switch others made,
Scars still do heal even though such a long time ago,
when lightning strikes a oak, know they are still foe.
Poetic T Jun 2015
ELEVEN* was tired because it was
Almost TWELVE, but ONE was
Up late TWO watch THREE come
Home, FOUR was tired because FIVE
Did snore but SIX pushed him out of
The bed he snored no more, SEVEN
Was up as bright as could be, its
Amazing what EIGHT hours of sleep
Can do for me, NINE was happy as it
Was almost TEN because ELEVEN
Was coming to brunch again, TWELVE
Did come along the day going so quick
So more numbers counted once again
Which will leave us at the first number once again.
Poetic T Jun 2014
I exhale, I do it before every ****,
I know there plans
Watched for many days and nights
Their routine bound days,
Awake,
Breakfast,
Work,
Sleep,
"No detour this makes it easier"
Analyse,
Plan,
Time,
Place,
I do this as I must,
I don't do it out of pleasure
I do it for there last breathe
Inhaled many, I tasted there death.
Exhaled,
Inhaled,
"Nectar of life"
Then they are gone,
It must be quick, no pleasure
In a lasting ****.  
I don't know you
"But I saw your breathe,
Each is different  unique,
But those special ones I see,
The nectar must be inhaled
The only reason I ****,
"Beware where you exhale,
As it may be the last that you breathe
**And I inhale while you lie now still
Poetic T Mar 2014
I'm here but I'm not, where have
you been they ask. Right here but
my thoughts are not with me.

Not out of body just out of mind,
I'm not crazy I'm sane as the next
person, hopefully not crazy because
so would I.

I just think of places, people I would
rather be, to see, the expression of
blankness is me travelling in my
own place.

I'm not ignorant, I don't ignore those
around, this place is so violent so much
misery. In my place I am safe with those
that are there we are in peace, I am here
but elsewhere are my thoughts  its just
the place I'd rather be.
Minds do wonder to many places when fed up of what's here
Poetic T Apr 2016
Upon the sights of emaciated tendrils does thoughts hang,
no words breath but only silence greats those who gaze
upon the crumbling remains of musing now faded like
parchment in the afterthought.

It hangs in wanting, but only reflections of remnant passing
do dwell on the torn outer reaches. This meditation of silence
where words have been cleansed and now it lingers empty of all.
Poetic T Jul 2016
Adorned on self, it hangs like wind
on the breeze statically woven on
form. Embroider of linguistic thoughts,
all in notions that are enriched but still
never totally fallen on its emotion.

Enhancing what was just embellished
reflections, now seen in the movement
of a yearning to expel but never descended.
just  passive in  the needing of its expulsion.

Ornaments that hang on my tongue, kept
in staled rejection. I only want to garnish
your yearning with what I'm trying to
embellish with these spoken words.
Poetic T Oct 2014
As I coughed up the
Ash that was Once
Love,
Commitment,
Trust,
My lips black with
Charcoal embers
My throat raw as
Burning
Suffocating
Texture
Like acid, as I expelled
The remnants of my
Heart,
You had spilt liquid
Then lit the flame
Unto my love,
It didn't need words
In his embrace,
Then the kiss in front of my eyes,
My love had been built
In time, I loved you so much
But with not even a word,
You burnt away my heart
Ignited,
Stoked,
Burnt,
Away in moments
That was built off love.
Your tears fell
Many hit upon the ground,
But they were like acid
Scorching the ground,
Fake emotions
Distrustful touch
I love you so much
But know my heart is but embers,
That I expel with each breath,
My lips now black with the charcoal of love..

emotions bleed forth
which direction signs my fate

life does consume me
Poetic T Jun 2014
You may see random where
The colour exist, but I see tones
Where other would miss.

I see beauty in the colours
As they move with the brush,
As two colours mix to be one.  

  I see beauty, in what you may see
Not just paint on a canvas.
For me it means its from the heart,
My feeling's
In the brush strokes,
Anger,
Love,
Creation,
My expression in colour
This is  my mind on canvass.

Poetic T Jul 2015
emotions ceased still
a tear fell solidified
weeping cold crimson
Poetic T Oct 2015
The day is near when your
happiness will burn, engulfed
it will turn it black. Not as before,
never will it grow back. As the
days move on sorrow replaces
that now in black.

Your joy will be ashes in your hands,
blown in to the wind, it was never
yours to give.  Now no others will
benefit, as the winds have hidden it
changing every moment never to let
you get it back.

Love was the last, the hardest to take,
but under foot buried in lava.
Over time melting the feeling that
once resided, now after time the
heart is weak, and love has left
this ash filled heart it as suffocated,
not a breath of love flowed back.
Poetic T Feb 2017
Shallow breaths now  woven
    intervening
                        between those occasions
where lips disconnect momentarily.

Smiles greet the gazes of the others.
Palms are like gentle
                                    rain
                                           drops
on each others chest, hearing each others
rhythmed emotions blend to the others moments .
Poetic T May 2020
An avalanche of empathy
             dislodged
covering me in suffocating
                                realisation.

That I wasn't the mountain,
       more the snow.
               Soft and delicate,
   sentiment never compacted enough.
Poetic T Feb 2016
Desolation perches

I drown in a empty
bath full a stale air,
it surrounds me.

As I choke for breath
no longer do I breath.

I drowned in a bath
tub, as smoke filled
my lungs.

stale is the air as I have
drowned no water to
be seen..
Poetic T Jul 2014
I see it before me
Empty,
I feel it cold to the touch,
It is like I am being called to it,
As if it wishes me to lie still,
Wanting me in an eternal sleep.
I stagger out side, I walk as if in a dream
To see a hole dug in the ground
Seven feet by two feet
Empty, water filled
I see a grave stone
Here lies, the words not complete,
I smell
Death,
Release,  
Peace,
Wet dirt as it rains on me.
I feel as though gravity is tugging at me
As it wants this hole filled
I am not dead, at least I think not,
I will not be told what is fate
My path is my own,
I will walk it, till complete
Then I will gladly surrender
To this the eternal sleep.
But for now I live, I do not hunger
Death,
Release,
Sleep,
I awake sweating, was it a dream
Was it imagination run wild?
I look down to my feet,
Soaked,
*****,
The scent of death on my cold feet,
I will live my life, never to give in
This may be my future,
But it is a long way off, each day is precious
I will live it fully,
Till my last breath escapes me, never giving in.
Poetic T Mar 2019
People think I'm just
an empty jar
                 with a lid on it.

But you took the lid off,
and looked underneath
                              it..

And it said!

"If your reading this
              then you know
             looks can be deceiving,


I wasn't ever empty,
                           I just didn't
                            show myself.

But you saw underneath the façade.
Poetic T Dec 2017
We are but lines drawn
in symbolic
           echoes..
Our life is but a few lines
         that fill a book of memories
that are still empty.

But echoes call from the pages,
       and we read unto ourselves...
Poetic T Mar 2014
the wind blows through my
doors an empty sound as it
travels the rooms but no one
is home anymore.

The rooms were once full
thoughts did play, each room,
was past, present and thoughts
of a future it couldn't yet see.

This mind had many thoughts
rooms so full you  couldn't
move the so many rooms once
full of thoughts now only dust
as the room now deserted no
ideas to see any more.

Now there are just empty rooms
where the winds do blow, no
longer remembering past,
present the future bleak for a
mind with no thought. One
day the door will shut and
that will be the end of me no
thoughts anymore.
What I feel a person with dementia must feel like
Poetic T Apr 2020
empty spaces
hollow memories

Poetic T Jun 2014
I see an empty throne
Only the dead sat there,
For they are no more
But bone.
The curse of sitting above others
Those trusted,
But serpents tongues
Do they speak
Gold tinted lies.
Each a plan of their own
Friendships,
Truths,
Allegiance,
All but layered lies.
A long life
Is but a dream.
For the throne will crush all dreams
It is like a ****
It will grow extend its reach.
Suffocating any one close
They who dare to think of a higher place
That which is beyond reach,
I stare at any empty throne
And all I see is
Death
A place forever out of my reach.

Ruby lips spell cast,
  
There's no place

Poetic T Apr 2017
Capped within verses of illuminated
conclusion, even though I'm contorted
into a veil of secluded verses I shout.

I'm echoing though glass enclosures,
they thought id be faded within this
verse but echoes always sound louder.

I'm brighter now that I'm restricted
within this prison of what you think
silences, but I shine brighter than any star.
