The tranquility
Of a rainbow on crisp wind
Could ease the whimper
Raquel Cheri Oct 2011
Heaping mounds of joy
Always slashing my fears out of the picture
Peculiar are the effects it appears to have on me
Purifying my soul with a blissful rush
Igniting a flame of pleasure
Neglecting the negative remarks
Encouraging all positivity
Satisfying my inner being
Surpassing those not preserving the happiness.

Eyes crossed in frustration
Each cell in my body on edge
I'm feeling a little bit guilty
for wishing you were dead.
In a crowd full of strangers
I finally feel at ease;
the pressure of your gaze
was starting to get to me.
I wanted your approval
more then I wanted mine.
I'm not sure what you wanted
but I made you a shrine.
I hope that thats not creepy
please don't call me names
I'd rather sticks and stones
then quarry for insults aimed
on this road I'm traveling
I'll surely go insane
Lest my suffering is ended
by this bullet to my brain...
scrolling through a list of friends
wanting to ask for help
but I can't hit the send button
and you're too far to hear me yell.
I'm in the midst of a crowd
of people who don't care
and I was happy for a while.
Needed no approval there.
I guess I didn't need yours either
but I wanted it so much
maybe all I've ever needed
was to learn to trust.
Trust in myself, and trust in you.
Doing what I want, the way you wanted me to.

Insanity is a funny thing. It's deep inside your soul
a corruption that manifests until the day you become whole
so many adjectives to describe a girl who lives inside her heart
a girl who wanted nothing more then a smile or kind remark.
a girl who did her best to love everyone from the start.
never comprehending the negativity that was returned
not seeing all the variables that work to make the world so cold
a world where hearts are cracking, its a natural disaster.
uncommon for the girl who dwells in the heart that is her master.
but even for a heart so strong the world is stronger still
hits from every angle were bound to break her will
and through all the despair and pain, that applaud while she burns
An entertaining show, but some still want their money returned
Its the system of our kind to build and break our neighbors
and she's breathing shallow breaths, pleading for a favor
anyone to help her, someone to be kind and care
familiar faces avoid her eyes, noses turned in the air
and as her knees buckle, face hits the pavement
through teary eyes of lost self worth, she sees distant movement
familiar shoes approaching, now strong arms pull her off the floor.
carrying her to safety, where she'd be hurt no more.
she knows this scent, seen these scarred up hands.
She looks in his eyes and see's her heart in this man
remembering all the things that used to make her smile
fond memories with this man, from when he was a child
a gust of wind makes her shiver, but in these arms she's whole
It's recognition of the sanity in a reflection of her soul.

Words tossed
landing in mind fields
Thoughts perceptions
grow like weeds
Water swaying turmoil
nurturing seeds
Harvesting our love
holding up shields
simply waiting
wanting to give our souls freely
Deflecting
Neglecting
Tending to wounds
The memoirs of agonizing gullibility
Like razor blades to my brain
You take away the pain
Mere words could not explain.
Laughter holds all meaning
To this love lust never fleeting
Repaired damage thriving surely
Through the plains of time
Raquel Cheri Oct 2011
Boundaries vanish in the night sky
Begetting personal aims
Each sunset relative by possession
Dreams should not be tamed.

I feel as if I’m mourning you
When I should be rejoicing
Your presence opens up ideals
I had given up on voicing.

I’d been wishing on infinity
to reveal one of your stature.
Wouldn’t have fathomed a meeting like ours
to free fall my soul’s disaster.

Though you resonate my fury,
With the absence guaranteed;
Also dimming down my worries
wanting you is unfathomable greed.

Deprivation, fabrication.
Knowing we can’t be
Flutters optimism out and in
Through dreams we waking flee.

no words needed to sustain
intensity roots in growing pain
we decompose set notions.
we narrate all motions

to call upon occasion
my bitter sweet abrasion.
Raquel Cheri Oct 2011
The ability to transfer emotions
is a little frightening for me.
I smothered the urge to love for so long
one hardly needs reason to flee.
Though your face is all I can see now
and I'm unsure what to believe.
While I'm weighing all my options
stakes are raising for you to leave.
can I say whats dancing on my tongue?
or put these lips to tea¿
I need your words to pull me on
and overboard with thee...
In theory we would be ideal
The weight of love never felt so real
and Fear shouldn't hold us back
from what we feel.
Lest we never carry on this track
towards an empty quaint old shack
where happiness and bliss are all we see....
I'll dip my toes into your water-
you'll dive into my sea.
The rabbit hole is deep
for all you seek and all you weep
when it seems so uncertain
to be free…
be with me.
