You don't know the true meaning
Of consoling a cup of coffee
Until your seemingly full night of sleep
Leaves you with bags under your eyes
And lonely thoughts in your head.

Your eyes yearning to close,
But your awakened mind refusing
To let the darkness seep in.
Feeling physically drained
and going mentally insane.

Turning to a cup of pleasure
Waiting for the black holes under your eyes
To brighten up without the help of cosmetics
For once.

You know that the dreams
That still haunt you were only fictional.
Yet, the visions still cloud your eyes
With memories of your exhaustion.

So, the cycle will continue with caffeine
As the only remedy.
Coffee Consoling, a helpful thing
For those with no sleep.
Written after a night of terrors.

You pitying on my twilight
As a cloud in the shadows
Your eyes lights
Killing in my heart the ego
In the candle chivalry
Cry & servile
My heart lover blister me
In my low-tide to her
I'm Bestselling as stars
In my Pride on her
I'm lost in the clouds
I'm Moaning & the darkness
Consoling a cheeks
Reddish as flowers
A batty bed
Comforting a hidden sorrow
As a sleepy prince
Waiting her by spoils

The loneliness turns my insides to stone
Makes it hard for me to choke down
Everyone and their consoling words.
I'd much rather sit and drink my tea
From lonely cups and write somber poetry
Than pretend that a night with my friends
Will erase the melancholy that stains my life.
Because I could have every star in the night sky,
And I would still be lonely.

What so ardently sings me to sleep
Crisp wind whispering in my ear
Eyes peering across a lustrous, green mesa
I am not here, nor have I been
Although I dream it is so
Lover's hand in mine
Sun setting, her colors so incandescent
Ocean exhaling upon the rocky shore
Two hundred feet below
Nothing consoling my mind so much
As this cherished moment
Connected with the Earth's beauty
Alongside the one who makes it so
SHHHH...MOTHER SAID...SHHHH!

Time wheeled
the stars around again

arranging them into
their constellations.

She, this
human speck

standing on this rock
floating through space.

The earth turning its back
on the sun

so that night
can come.

Her mother's death
a dimension away

lost inside the universe
that is her head.

Hearing her mother's voice
consoling her as she

lay dying:
"Shhh..." mother said  "...shhh!"
Do you remember what God said to you child?
When you were conceived?
Before your parents knew...

I remember now, he whispered. His voice sounding of the forceful ocean,
But as nectarous and consoling as a summer breeze
*Be love child, BE love.
Searching for someone
As broken as me
I find myself in poetry

The words seem
to speak to me
Consoling me
Giving my life meaning
Till all I see
Is the ashes of papers
Coming down like snow
Till I get buried deep within
Succumbing to the darkness
Searching for someone
as broken as me

It seems almost sad
that the moment in which I am most content
exposes itself only when I am halfway drunk
at 2 a.m.
Alone, and writing.
The silence and darkness are consoling
in a way.
For these two elements are often necessary
for
true
self-indulgence.
Born in a spiders web
So silky and neat
Spreading over her crown
To her tiny, pink feet

A family of spiders
Scuttled and stalked
Weaving their way
Through dust and chalk

As the baby grew
The web threatened to break
But they repaired and spun
Around her like snakes

She was different to them
So innocent and pure
They tried to trap her spirit
With lies, secrets and lures

The child, now a teen
Succumb to their ways
Her truth unspoken
The web's now a maze

She knew no love
No heart or care
Just lies and jealousy
A world of traps and snares

Through the tunnel she shuffled
In front of her stood
A girl just like her
Someone she understood

This girl smiled and unwrapped her
From many years of web
From her bare, mucky feet
To the top of her head

What freedom she felt!
She smiled and laughed
It echoed in bright lights
Through the tunnels and shafts

The spiders squealed in the light
Angry and eight eyes blind
They could no longer contain her
No longer bind

The girls escaped together
Hands held and then she knew
This was all I ever needed
Love from me to you

We must all feel death.
It does not matter what comes after.

But the moment - that moment real.
Dancing to the Tennessee's Waltz
Don't think about the lost, Scarecrow.
Don't think at all - empty that brain
If you wish to stay sane.

You're darling Dorothy is gone.
You heard the truth in that song
You said:
"I have heard the future.
And all I have left is myself."

What comes after does not matter.
We're going to Oz - and I need my Dorothy
