Place my head under a pillow
and gently suffocate my screaming
heart; swollen from far too much "love"
I bid my time to cross the line
noting signs; foolishly pining
Over all that you are in me
******* my soul with your presence
Until our puzzle has complete
The kinetic theory of heat...
You are the one I want to come home to
Raquel Cheri Oct 2011
Eyes open to a world
needing my attention
Absorbed in self, dissolving in you
We'll do what we want to do.
Think I’m not noticing your pace
Your gaze in this non-race
Steady our movement; stop my heart.
I’m feigning for what could never start.
The bodies still and sleeping,
Dreaming wishful thinking.
We are all victims of a crime
Subjects for fear and pain
On those roads we walk alone
we all shelter someones storm.
A sign, something beautiful,
A reason screaming truth.
If you're looking for some proof
lost within our youth
held faith in the forces pull
when love never breathes its fire
it can't be quenched with lone desire.

How does one overcompensate
For the incompetence of a nation?

No compromise for the masses
undeniably *stuck in ruts
of habit
These days Ive seen and see
We're all craving harmony
With no equitable solution
To take the race out of the face
It's just accumulative corruption
Apprehensive assimilation
Aggression stirring underneath
A stone passive shade of sentience

Now say we might anticipate
The fantasizing fringe of youth
Where we will conquer or be conquered
By depravic spurring **truth

Ice fury moves steam
drip down foggy windows like
Liquid searing truth

Another day
Another wager
Paying for mistakes
I had every right to make
Dearest friends
Lovely foes
None invade my heart
Like memories of woe

Was I so blind?
That I could not recognize
The smirk of the devil
As I handed him my sin
On a golden platter

Temptation.

When my eyes told lies
For a prize made of plastic
Fueling my fury
I burn it, and inhale
Toxic memories
High *******
of too many minds combined

Exhale and pray for clarity.

Real life would create
fairytales so that we might
long for the journey.

Every childhood slogan

drilled into our skulls

left room for incompletion

and rebellion of our tongues

Be kind dearest neighbor

They said

treat them as you would yourself...

When my heart was diced in pieces

behind a protective shell

feelings weren't spared for any...

money chasing fame

dreaming dreams involving pain

with actions summing up

to techno-lingo-logical

the only words heard spoken

are implications under jokes

half phrased and cut short

Well i'm not waiting here for you

to decide what you want to do.

moving on but staying true

loving me a bit more then you

you see

I'd reach my hand in your direction

stare my longing in your eyes.

now I'm staring in the mirror....

vulnerable

free

no disguise is holding me

knowing whats underneath

deserves more

and finally

we can

release.... receive.... resurface
