today
a strange milky light
rolling over the hills
like a blinding blanket
I caressed naked branches
their fragility a statement
plum trees apple trees
peach trees cherry trees
and I a witness
to the dignity with which
they carry their wounds
I love trees because
their shadow is not full
of bitterness.
perhaps
they know how to cry
for the absence of wonder

you see
much is going on
beyond words:
all of me and
this tree
feel
there is a depth
in everything
Coleen Mzarriz Jul 2022
Of serene eyes that follow gently
the illicit pill she could not let go
it was heavy as the waters pulling her inside
serenading her with an estranged voice
coming from within —
her minimizing the desire to let it out
as the sun quiets down
and the gibbous moon exhibiting itself at night,

resisting the waves occurring —
as if it loathed her whole being
of her justness and the absence of these causes
her grieving and the sirens waltzing,
talking through an absentminded eye
eyeing her soul
finding love that seizes it
but hers were two feet and one mouth to breathe in
even in all shades of blue,
she can get a glimpse of the dark hue
illuminating the downside of the ocean
pulling her, wrecking her soul.

Redemption does not lie —
humoring her with plainly just truth
craving for the applause of the moon
only observing the depth of the ocean
eating the once alive soul
of her saving her last breath,
chiming in with the conversation, she
once had with him.

It could have been nice the resistance
he once had — to throw himself out
to the beauty of his light that shed
her whole body
he once was able to have
and he stayed there, eyed her the whole time
being eaten on the lonesome of the night
for he himself, shading all the blueness
like a requiem for the dreams
she kept on having
like a composition giving life
to new generations, he was still on
a token and a curse, and he let her be —
in all shades of blue.
Wrote something again. Thank you.

So When It Comes To My Poems...
And The Things I Express...

What My Poems Project...
Are Lyrical Blends....
of POWER And STRENGTH... !!!

That PROVE I’m A Poet...
Whose Verse Is POTENT... !!!

Because It’s Content...
Has High Levels of DEPTH... !!!

Did You Catch What I Said... ?!?
… HIGH Levels of DEPTH... !!!!!!!

Paradoxically Speaking...
So You See What I Write...
Has MULTIPLE Meanings...
And Various Rhymes...
That Prove That My Mind...
Is Deep And Invites...

DEEP Levels of Thought...
For Those Who Absorb...
What My Poems Draw...
Within Their Depictions...
of How We Are Living...

My Verse Can Be RAW...
But Mostly Contorts...
Like Those Who Distort...
What Newsrooms Report...

That Many Now Think...
... ISN’T True ANYMORE... !!!

Because Most of It STINKS...
of Reports That Seem FLAWED... !!!

With Opinions Now BOUGHT...
By Those Who ENSURE... !!!

That Things Should Stay Hidden...
When These Things Are RIDDEN  ...
With... CORRUPTED Visions...
And Missions Where Killings...
Should NOT Be Permitted...
Because They’re FORBIDDEN... !!!

EVEN In... Wars...
That Reach Foreign Shores...

Corruption Runs Deep...
In Police And Armies... !!!

And Only Gets Seen...
LONG AFTER BAD DEEDS...
Have Made People Bleed... !!!

So My Poetry Feeds...
On Corrupt Policies...
And STATES That Are DEEP...
Like These... Conspiracies... !!!!!!

That Are Now Being Spread...
Via The... Internet...

Some That Lack Depth... !!!
But Some That Present...
The Type of Content...
That Now Clearly UPSETS...
The Calmest of Heads... !!!!!!

When These Internet Trends...
Show What Is... INCORRECT... !!!

Or Is That... CORRECT... ?!?

Well Fake News Is Here...
And Fake News Is There...
And Some Is Subject...
To Just Breeding FEAR... !!!

And Now Traps Are Set...
To Catch Heads Who Steer...
Fake News To The Ears...
And Eyes of Their Peers...

You See Much We’re Now Seeing...
Is Deep With Things Leaning...
Towards Some Poor Teachings...

And Things That Need Screening...
Like Movies Now Streaming...
On Websites Online...
Where Minds Seem Inclined...
To BELIEVE ANYTHING... !?!

That Comes From The Links...
That Many Now... Click...
To Inform What They Think...

Well I’m A REALIST... !!!

So My Lyrical Scripts...
Deal In Thinking That’s Deep...
Like Today’s Protests Scenes...
About Things Like Vaccines...
And Police Who Use Knees...
And Yes... BRUTALITY... !!!

That Makes People ANGRY...
In Homes And On Streets... !!!

So Now That This Poem...
Is Reaching It’s End...

It's Final Subject...
That Encompasses DEPTH...

Are These Corona Deaths...
And How They've Distressed...
EVERYONE From PM’s...
To... Heads In Congress... !!!

Who Will Now Accept...
This Vaccine That’s SAID...
To Be Ready For Heads...
To Accept And INGEST...

As The Best Way To STOP...
This Viruses Spread... !!!

A Form of Defence...
That Could Set Precedents...
That Could Change Things In Ways...
That May NOT Be So Great... !?!

UNLIKE My Poems...
That Go To Great Lengths...
To Use Common Sense...
As Well As... Intellect...

And Of Course One More Thing....
That Was Earlier Said...
Within... THIS Poem...

HIGH Levels of.....

....... “ Depth “......
My poems, like me, are things that go deep....

beautiful blue
the sky seems everlasting above me
the clouds desperately reach for each other
like they may never meet again
like they may never feel love again

i sympathize with them
the longing for love
the yearning of partnership
my perception of what that is
forever twisted by this shadow
casted upon my life

why cant i be happy?
why do the people who
are supposed to love me
despise me?
i am reduced to bones by their deductions
i am nothing but a shell of their projections
ive been persecuted to this living hell
with their reprehensions

i look to the eternal sky
standing on the edge
nobody knows what resides in my head
maybe its better that way
my thoughts need not be said
a choice between two paths
to be alive or to be dead

Raven Sep 2021
A love so deep, it rips apart your unhealed skull.
A mystery of illusions, inclusivity is dared to be dispelled.
May I hold you?
Or am I too far away.
Can I feel you?
Just a touch to make me beg of your despair.
Unwritten poetry, a querulent secrecy of written misery and longing.
I want to love, may I love?
Whom can be loved more than the love of thyself?
I fall to my aching pits.
I feel you...
But you are not here.

I wonder
if you continuously grow deep within me
and
I kept watering you,

What will I get in the end,
a **** or a lovely flower?
Be in depth with my soul.
Descovia Jul 2021
If you believe, my spells are
a product measured on games and luck.

My identity will remain a mystery

If you boil an egg in water, it becomes hard.


If you boil a potato in water, it becomes soft .

Words build a way, but it's your actions which determines you will meet fate or your destination.

It doesn't matter what you go through.

It's what you decide to be through the situation!


Whether you can or can't

You decide, if it's falsified or a living lie. There's a difference, between what you can decipher with your mind or eyes

You can turn pain into art or truth.

In the end, it's ultimately up to you.
Realwords. Tough Times. Think on this
Corrinne Shadow May 2021
Catch a calling pigeon,
Tell him what you really think.
Express your deepest statements
To the rim of your last drink.
'Cause society will tell you
That your voice is not worth hearing,
As they cast their vicious judgments,
With their pompous faces leering.

Release your thoughts into the silent night,
Or share them on a small poetry site.
Intellectual conformity is promised:
We learned to lie without being dishonest.
How does one share an opinion that isn't held by either the majority or the loud minority?
