"I love it...  well done... " I've said
Upon reading another tormented poesy
The rope, gun and blade
Kissed every neck, head and wrist with gravity

"Nicely penned" I've said and clicked the vote
As shared my leisure time for an inspirational poetry
About love, peace and hope
Intended to those whose life was so cloudy

I always appreciate poetry of all kinds
Each taste of life was beautifully written there
Poet must be praised no matter what's inside his mind
Applaud even their works were rants and cursed into the air

To let go what we think about life
We all have different points of view
Who am I to judge if their pencil turned into a rainbow or a knife
I've only tasted the life that I've chewed

One thing about the taste of life that I know
That the aroma of happiness
And the flavor of sorrow
Was sprinkled among the rest...

oni
my days
consist of
sitting around
waiting
for things
to get better,
while
making them
worse
Please find and take heed
Words written by a poet to read
Words of feelings that flow
That come from within the soul

Some words so hard to write
Never before shown the light
Treasured words that are shared
Given by a poet now bared

One poem reading a million others
Words of sorrow or for lovers
Each poet, to find, to be inspired
Words of passion that are fired

Give every poet just that chance
Let those words come and dance
For those that come from the dark
Allow those words leave their mark

Read them and let them be seen
Understand what their words will mean
A million poets writing in the sun set
Writing with a heart we will never forget

''And if your Nancy frowns, my lad,
And scorns a jacket blue,
Just hoist your sails for other ports,
And find a maid more true.''
catch me, catch me as i flee
cause i wont stop running
till i'm free

grab my head
and shove it down
make me beg till i drown

beat me, beat me till i bleed
don't stop swinging
until you break my creed

tear every shred
of humanity in me
till i beg for your mercy

cage me, cage me for i am not free
i am not the man
i used to be

i am broken and ruined
chained down
for being rotten

abandoned my faith
filled with hate
and my soul is stained

answer me, answer me please
can i hope for redemption
and return as one of your  creation
I've always put my lovers
into a pen

Fuel for fire
Ink for words.

But no,
Those were not love
Not like this

For this is love:
the fire itself
and it has burned away all my pages;
previous chapters, titles and cover
Stripped bare
As it should

So here I stand in this raw rarity,
Speechless
While it burns and
burns and
burns

And I have never been happier
To  watch flames
grow higher.
I have never been happier
To feel your warmth.

Fall fall falling down
The tears roll down my cheeks as I frown
Was on the mountaintops but then everything turned upside down
Fall fall falling down

What to do
Don't have a clue
But no one else will fill these shoes
The fog surrounds me but I must break through

Two hands on a rope
Losing grasp losing hope
But I must not mope
It's just a downward *****

Then you came along
Catchy like a good song
Making me feel like nothing was wrong
Showing me that here with you is where I belong

You held onto me tightly like a snug coat
Smile on my face like if I was reading a love note
And I don't mean to gloat
But I don't need a rope cause when I'm with you I can float

Sometimes when you're down all you need is a hand
Someone that can make you feel grand
Somebody that can help you stand
Or pull you up when you're buried in the sand

That's what you are to me
My light in the dark, my shimmering sea
When the way seems clouded you help me see
And I'll always be by your side cause there's no place I'd rather be
