Sojourners

May 2015 RRD

AK Bright

Destiny will not be found
in the realm of time
Limited to our own imaginations

We are all but strangers in this land
It is those who find a belonging to this world
who are truly lost

Echoes we chase of discontentment
Searching for pieces we think we lost
or never had

Hearing the voices inside and out
Declaring "You Don't Belong"

Wanderers, explorers, seekers at best
Life is a Sojourn
not a place to nest

Passion 2

May 2015 RRD

Jack Thompson

Passion 2

The passion of my heart.
Could wear the river rocks to dust.
Relentless like the tides of moons.

The passion of my heart.
Could break the worldly chains.
That drown us in misery.

The passion of my heart.
Burns with invisible fire.
Molten and ferocious.

The passion of my heart.
Bridges the gaps between galaxy's.
Just to feel you close again.

The passion of my heart.
Inconceivably large.
Rivaling the Sun and the stars.

Slightly different... Better? Than the original.

Until I'm Dust

Until I'm Dust

I heard silence...

In the seconds before I started
In the spaces between my heartbeats
In the breaths I held 'til words were said
I heard silence before secrets were revealed

I hear silence...

In the aftermath of a loud fight
In the emptiness filling my heart
In the vacant space they are leaving behind
I hear silence while I'm falling apart

I'll hear silence...

In the dark as I decide I'm done
In the calm caused by feeling nothing
In the air when my last breath is gone
I'll hear silence after I'm finished living

I was silent** before they thought to listen
I am silent while I decide to just surrender
I'll be silent after I'm forgotten
I'll stay silent 'til I'm the dust making stars flicker

After countless revisions and edits. I'm actually happy to post this. Feedback, please? :D

Thoughts of a Coward #2: Introvert In Love

Thoughts of a Coward #2: Introvert In Love

I'm hers, undeniably,
But I'm afraid to make her mine.
I'm too comfortable by myself
So I fail to give her time.
A better man will make her his,
Then I'll rightly be left behind.
...
All because I'm an introvert
And a coward combined.

She's amazing but I spend too much time with myself.

Thoughts of a Coward #1: Unconcealed Effects

I'm afraid she'll find out
If she gets too close
That my breathing is ragged,
That I'm both sweaty and cold,
That my heart is beating furiously,
That she matters more than she knows.
...
That her mere presence affects me,
And it's not something I can control.

I remember how she hugged me and how scared I was.

The dead of night

May 2015 RRD

Patrice Diaz

The dead of night

A sea of waves
At the dead of night
Shining under the moonlight
I am nothing but brave

To see such wonder at this time
Burning through darkness
Erasing sadness
Giving me back what was originally mine

a rough poem but i haven't written a poem in so long and i just really felt like it tonight. hope you all enjoy it **

I don't mind

I don't mind

And darling I
don't mind lighting
myself up in flames
to light up your
dark* ~

Thoughts of a Coward #4: Falling Short of Expectations

Thoughts of a Coward #4: Falling Short of Expectations

I was afraid to let you in.
You had no clue of what I hid.
Perhaps you fell for the idea of love
But I couldn't be the person you fancied.
And when I let you see who I truly was
You spat out your words like acid.
...
"I don't know you anymore."
You never really did.

To the friend who expected more than I could give.

The poem looks like a jar with the title. :D
