Impending Doom

Wash your hair
Pretend to care
Sit and stare
That feelings there

Fight or flight
Stay up all night

the silence you left

May 19 ProfMoonCake

ophelia

the silence you left

you spoke of dreams,
moments not here,
but lingering just beyond reach.
i see you too—in flashes,
a laugh, a name i never fully said.

i close my eyes,
and there you are,
in the tremble of stars,
the flicker of streetlights,
the hum of midnight waves.

you linger like a soft melody,
always near,
but never enough.
a secret i kept in silence,
carried with every breath.

2v8

You and your romantic ways, your countless list of reasons, your lovely lilac haze
Shadowed only by your fears there's not a universe where I stay.

Battled me.

And all my disarray
The timing and the distance, my thoughts that force resistance.
My lack of patience sure put up a fight, and mix her with my temper and we'll be here all night.
My fear, always ready to run, pulling me back behind the wall I built, away from the warmth of your sun.

If we matched our armor, and coordinated our attack
Perhaps we could've been on the same side, instead of bleeding back to back

I know you hate that game mode
But I thought the chances were better

Flower of Icarus

You’re a flower I cannot pick,
        a love so unrequited,
        it makes me feel so sick

I can only look at you
      and admire you from a distance,
      living through my eyes, only by a glance

To see you is enough to make my day,
      oh what a lovely thought,
      your beauty, its more than I can say

You’re a pretty-pretty flower,
        an everlasting one,
        an unrequited love,

        burning like the sun...

        -ManInBlack

You and the Moon

You and the moon
are very much alike,
Like the moon,
I have always thought
of you at midnights
Like the moon,
I have always wondered
what’s beneath your surface
Like the moon,
I have always been
captivated by your beauty
Like the moon,
a being of solace
in all of your phases
Like the moon,
in a deep-deep night
you’re the blooming light..

Lovesick

Lovesick

“I’m getting sick of it, Darling.
Poems meant for you, I mean.
I want to grow, yet my heart doesn’t.
And that’s your fault.

I want to write the forest dry,
but my head doesn’t wander.
I try to forget, will I regret it?
But the trees keep sprouting.

I’m feeling ill, my love.
‘Cause you forget my name.
I’m stuck, the trees closing me in.
I don’t have an axe. I stay.

I want to throw up words.
Get sick of paper in my mouth.
But my heart seems glued,
Repeating the same.”

A.V.

when you love someone who doesn’t love you.

Remember to live

Remember to live

“When I die,
return me to nature.
I don’t want to be in a wooden hug,
that’s as dead as I’ll be.
I want my hands gripping grass,
and my lungs filling with dirt.

Don’t give me flowers,
if they’re not planted
on my last blanket.

One day I’ll die,
until then, I’ll enjoy
every second of being.”

A.V.

When I’m wrapped in vines, my death will come.

My visions, my mother's mother's mother's mother's mother's mother's mother's mother's mother's mother's mother's mother's mother's mother's mother's mother's words of wisdom.

A ***** bread.
It took a lot of conquering and mutilation,
to get to where I am right now,

WE SURVIVE
WE STRIVE
WE ARE ALIVE

My son, you will one day grow and die,
your soul will move on to the next host in life.
You know the past, you see everything as if you were time.
FUTURE has no boundaries, others create barriers.
You simply create future times and they fail not.

a truthful poem

a truthful poem

I lie
and
I lie
and
I lie

I hide my behavior
to keep you safe.

I keep quiet
not to offend you.

I agree with you
to keep you happy.

I walk on eggshells
for you and
it’s never enough.

I lie
and
I lie
and
I lie

but when the truth
arrives at that
final moment;

jaws will drop
plates will shatter
dogs will growl

and
you’ll be long gone
after seeing what
a ghastly beast
I am

but for now

I lie
and
I lie
and
I lie

to keep us
together.
