A park. A bench.
A sticker, I sent
Now represents...

Raw unchained emotion
You poked it, flowing
Let it out, floating...
Coasting the air in motion
My mind, corroded

Demoted my guards
Laid down, bare arms
Bare qualms... in the charms,
In the stars, hearts art
Bought to life...
In the stagnant
FIRE WORKS. It worked
Stirred my returned verbs
Words usually unheard
Places, undisturbed
Trampled over in
enchanted universal
Incanted tantrums
Where you colluded
I'm imbued with
The views which,
Is an INTRUSION
Plays on the news with
The WHETHER
You're currently disputin-

Air polluted, clouds losin'
CHEMICAL infusion
BIO-LOGICALLY diffusing
Physically abusive
As it infiltrates my lungs
My airways, VENTolin
Is USELESS....

Breathlessness in your effortless
Hexes, these expressions have me
Guessing which way the possible
Confessions, would lead.
I seethe with ideas of a correction
Facility, anger instilled in me
Bottle it up in a distillery
And Guzzle it, so if found guilty
It can run though you silky smooth
And instill me, so you can't move
Past the thought of us two
Then I'll be evenly distributing
These moods where loss debilitates twp


Its confusing,
when you're so
smooth with it
In one night of
Loose lips
Or my mind?
I seem to lose it,
In your company

Art galleries you said
Holding hands...
Growing old,
Vulnerable, unearthed
Dispersed words that
Littered the turf
I protested. But ohhh
The sweet melody
My ears heard...
I BELIEVED YOUR WORDS.

I'm in that place again...
You know, the one where
I spill my ink, instead of print
Distilled drink...
Sinking in to the taste of it...

A sticker, my mind lives with
As a phantom pushes the swing
The wind,  catching my thoughts
Dripping my love on a paper thin
Clause, sign my name on the walls
As this love, pours through my pores
And I pause in the gore, of it being nevermore
A raven call... but your caw, still mauls
While I talk to the water line shore...
Wondering if its evermore

These musings...
A-muse-sings
Ab-use could be
HANDLED by
The fine tipped finger pen
Tongue could be men-dead
By the mere touch of a hand

Do you need a hand
To PEACE it all together
A sticker is but 1 piece
1 piece of this
Conversation tbat ends up deep and something as stupid as a sticker, makes you travel a million miles... mutilated by fear, yet held ransom and captive by your heart. Then when anyone else uses that sticker, it remind you of the utter depth of tbat Conversation... that caused ghosting due to its malignant stasis of the fact your heart is not compliant with your mind

Tall order
To a whining child's offer
Didn't is my best friend, a word there
That has silence as a prophet

Winds of dissuasion
In the name of admission
A skill of pride, and intuition
Has future sorts, for a private listing

Once, upon a time...
A readied smile, has sought a thrill
Of curiosity's same, the some of trying
A panicked we, with a service to an ideal, to still

Thresholds of jaundiced more
In the skirted issue, of poignancy
To add and rest, in the name of full on war
With a finger of opportunity...

Seem and dreamt of, in foreign lands
A philosophy of courtesy, in vague fights
We have seen the obvious, the march of times hands
Into a wall of significance, looking for senses rights

Hope a shadow see's the better of a painting
Escape or given the boat of departure
The times are a changing heed, to live with a mercy wishing
For the childhood, of baring a friends win, of curiosity...

Look suspicious?
Save me from a toiling health, that has the kindness
Of worth, for a running here and now, to acquire a lesser us
In the name of joy, these charity's accept the known, with a shame's best?
live and let dreams say hi, to a quiet rendezvous with your destiny

Break, my fingers can't stop
the Shake, fight the sandman
that Face, a grin of pure evil
don't Trace, the lines of the devil
he Takes, the girl who smiles
her Brace, the teeth are wild
and Stage, your own undoing
a Mage, a mood is brewing
a Rage, a storm is on
the Waters, he's coming he's coming
don't Flaunt her.
It's you that's running your time, tap tap
bleeding it out like wine and water
a rose he dines alongside, it flows
come gather your manly pride, but you're froze.

Hold your breath. Explode. Put it to the test.
Sleep. Rest. Dive. Go deep.
Must break the sheath. Deny you're weak.
The futures bleak, for those who hide.
Those who wait. Grate your teeth.
They who sleep, buried deep
Them that run, find your fun in
what got you running to begin with, the
Revolutionscaryness
risk of unawaryness
chase the chance to advance
and romance the possibility of fruitful fairy tales.
About: How fear is a self made cage.
Yllu Minaré Mar 14
We saw each other more often
frequent as the primes in 1 to 10
Mending each other’s boredom
widening our degrees of freedom

Ranted on things under the sun
Noted our signs, roots, and sum
We took turns airing problems
Shared proofs for peer checking

Did sanity check on our numbers
Whether in life, music, or games
Exchanged secrets and dreams
Reciprocated emojis and DMs

In the end, we skipped one thing
An asymptote we avoid touching
Assumed “us” was undefined
Then met our limits and resigned
Wasil Feb 12
Sound of knocking,
an invitation to stay.
My dear guest,
waiting unannounced.

Today,
I shall open the door.
Warm breeze
Or chilly wind.
Tomorrow,
I shall find out.
Ariannah Nov 2024
I don't know how to start this
But I swear it's ******* with my mind
Cause the way you never miss
And the way it makes me cry

Why's she always first?
And the way you always seem to make it worse
Why can't I just ignore it?
For her I'd just die for it

It makes me sick
It makes me cry
It makes me wish I could denie
Denie the fact that she's important
To repair your broken comportment

I hate your jokes
I hate my life
It's tiring me
It makes me die

And yet I always seem to come back trying
Trying to keep myself from falling
Into that deep cage again
Where I never seem to be the same

And I love her
I really do
But your indecisive way of being "you"
Makes my mind go back again
To the place I've always fell

And I tired to ignore it
Annoyed I avoided
Avoided my feelings
Desperate to cover the grave
Where I hid my toxic trait.

I thought that we could always fall together
But you told me you wanted to fly
So I watched you realize my hand, float up to the clouds
While I was still falling in the sky
this was my 40th poem, written on 11/3/23.
Emery Feine Sep 2024
I'll leave you one day. There, I said it.
Or you'll leave me, and you won't regret it.

I love you, but I'm scared to
And I've told you what I've gone through

And you said you weren't going anywhere
But what if I go? How can that be fair?

And no, I'd never want to leave
But what if it meant nothing when I wore my heart on my sleeve?

I've known myself ten years longer than you
So I also know what I might convince myself to do

I cherish every single moment we spend together
And I hope we can smile through all this weather

But I'm so sorry if one day
I'll ghost you like the other
But for now we'll hang on tight
Because the only thing we have is each other
this is my 36th poem, written on 10/26/23... he broke up with me a day after I wrote this lmaoooo

I always find myself here
With little to no explanation
I'm thinking it's because I elicit fear
They avoid my intensity
Every bombastic and overcharged emotion that overflowes from me
I believe they mean to
But they seem to pull themselves through
It's always something I did
Or didn't do
It's so much rejection
I've lost track of the lesson
It's only humility
And wanting from someone
Something they don't have for me
They often pretend
Put up a good front and deny the lie
I have to keep all of me inside
And leave it for everyone else to interpret what one of my issues it could be
Then it falls on me
Only on me
We don't have to wait and see
What I can't be
Even alone I can't be free
Not really
I'm still the fool writing about this
Letting them live rent free in my poetry
