The woman lives
When the shadow of the moon
Falls ebony on the earth
And the trees of her forest
Are like burnt matchsticks
on scorched field
She lingers then -
like smoke in the dark,
Until we meet
In the appointed place,
Two black holes in the abyss of the cosmos and
She opens
A nightmare mouth,
words slithering forth
-the tip of the tongue the teeth and the lips-
dripping from her chin
in jet black ink
"Are you ready?" she screeches
A crow
A banshee in the graveyard
I cannot speak, cannot see anything but the ink that rolls like a wave from her lips
Dark and terrible
A blood moon
"I See you" she calls with open arms
A lover's embrace
An eternal escape
But the shadow is receding
Drawing you to the heart of the forest
And she reaches for you once more
Your hand twitches
The path is tangled
Brambles whip and thorns claw
and you both understand
Time is up
"Never again." She croaks splayed against a treetrunk "Never again"
The woman fades with the last of the shadow
She cannot return
And you are alone again
Hands shaking in the sun
Lips covered in ink

life is based on choices
this or that
here or there
but being the actual choice
can tear a person apart

I’ve been in every angle of love.

Love is not good.
It doesn’t matter which viewer you are,
It’s just not good.
I’ve been the one who gives,
I’ve been the one who receives,
I’ve been the the one who gives and receives,
I’ve even been the outsider.
And none of them feel good.

Now I’m with someone that,
For the first time,
Embraces more than I do.
And it’s funny, because I don’t love him.
I like him,
But I don’t love him.
And I don’t know why.

Whenever he searches for my hand to hold,
I smirk,
Or when looks at me, asking for a kiss with his eyes,
I melt.
And when we sleep together
It’s never for ***,
It’ll never be for ***,
We only go to bed when we want to go to sleep.
And when he puts his arms around me,
And lies his head on the back of my neck,
I grab his hand, and fall asleep.
Now I’m a huge snorter,
I snore in my sleep,
Pretty badly by the way.
But I never snorted when I slept with him.
And it’s funny how my soul doesn’t burn when he comes to my mind,
Instead it reboots and buffers around,
searching for something that’s missing.

The love and passion that I have for another man.

I was broken, please help me
To lift myself and be occupied by positivity
Of which now I can't feel and see
Within my universe it is so dark, precisely!

To the one who can read this creative poetry
I am hoping you'll highly encourage me
To everyone, the society, the humanity
'Cause I'm shattered, broken, and emptied

I keep on encouraging others
But, as a request, can I have one?
Adversities, challenges, obstacles;
Are those things cannot be lessen?

Mostly, I am alone
Without company, just my own phone
Like a divergent and single stone
Or a hidden work of art that I have drawn.

Someday, I hope you'll see**
The mysteries that is inside me
My love, you are my favourite cup of coffee
You are the reason of my 2 a.m thoughts that turned me into misery.
Loving him makes my hope raise so high. Even though I am always part of the unknown, he will always be my favourite discovery

Re-
Make a decision,
    -- Change your mind,
       --- Do something different,
       --- Then wish you hadn't
    -- Changed your mind
In the first place.

Regret,
- Regression,
Repeat.

Before I felt this way, I was fine
Now after I felt it, I’m confused
If I be who I want to be…
No one will accept me
All I have to do is hide the real me
It shouldn’t be that hard…
Right?
I wish I didn’t feel this way
I wish I could just be me
I can’t though
If I do
I will disappoint everyone around me
I don’t want to hurt anyone
But I have to be me
What do I chose
Be me
Or
Fake who I am to please everyone around me?
