Try
Whats the point?

No one really cares anyway.
Raquel Cheri Oct 2012
A painful blend of suffering
Tastes good with a side of amnesia
Don’t feel what you don’t remember
And grasping at the past gets blurry
Like trying to touch a ghost
You can’t.
No.
But it touches you
When it wants to.


Like static in your mind
It drowns out noises,
makes for fuzzy moments
Flashes of color
Distinct images, with no clear order
No resolve. No unity
Nothing sacred in this rotting flesh
Degraded, humiliated
Pull me by my leash and tighten up my collar
You think you own me?
Like I’m your pet? Your mother.
You’ve never met another
who does what I can do.
Try to put me in your box
Don’t comprehend when I’m ticked off
My silence speaking volumes
You never listen.

Thinking of ways
to sift through days
in the corner of your atmosphere,
with the shadow of your sentiment,
through dawning mist
upon my soul.
Raquel Cheri Sep 2012
It is that moment when you're alone
That she creeps in subtle, eerie, durable
Reminding you of all the ways

Life might have wandered down by the sea
Pursuing and perusing elusive harmony
Maybe in that life we could be friends

Real friends who truly loved,
Trusted purely, cherished fervently
With spoken words of endearing honesty
We might bravely unite without pressure

We would make no demands
No judgement would command
Our instinct to recognize
A love so conditional.

It slices the senses
Numbs your joy
And frees your mind
To change.

Infinitely changing to outwit the fear
That moved into your home and decided
To start sleeping on the couch
Where his  virginity was lost

Now he sleeps with the mistress of guilt
Awaiting the day to reckon with
Incomprehensible emotion

An elusive day who
Never seems to come.

If things were different, if the world were perfect,
The obstacles between us would cease to keep us
Together and apart.

When galaxies merge, when dimensions converge
And every human need has been woven and stitched
with unwavering satisfaction.

When every intricate detail
and each contrasting complexity
is out, floating in the galaxy
for all to scrutinize.

When scrutiny is a foreign concept.
When loneliness is no more then a word.
When love conquers hatred.
When belonging is the norm.
When disorder finds peace.

When we realize that we all bleed the same blood.
When greed is dead and sleep is not the place where dreams come true.

If things were different, if the vines of mangled pasts were perfect,
The obstacles between us would cease to keep us
Together and apart.

If when this were to be, we knew how

A love so dire
Irrepressible desire
Eyes of blue fire
burning into me.
Raquel Cheri Nov 2011
Sliver slice emotional ties

Inhabiting a box of lies

drifting farther; farther from you

all of which I knew to be true.

morphing mystic synergies

and energies; synthetic

seeing is believing

the constant tug of our desires

time streams karmic choices

Dust collecting on the wires

of corruption much like rust

on a silver slicing sword

You want to scrape this blade clean

While I occupy a maze

of free lance opposition

Feed my needing to be free

of the hold you have on me.

Fighting with myself

to leave this life behind

When I've seen it all before

each ploy, plot, nock, laughter

Play my role to paper thin

now I'm breathing in disaster
