Dust and echoes
Drift toward me
The repetition might end me
But my dying scream will be something new
If only to the ear were a scream more... friendly...
a little thing I thought of
Solaces Jul 2016
And I open my eyes.  In a deep sleep I was.  Voices woke me up.  Sounds a lot like there is a t.v on in another room.  I could hear all sorts of different voices speaking.  I focus for a moment and listen.  There are so many.  I cannot make out what they are saying.  I then sit up in my bed and the voices stop! All at once.  Was I dreaming?  I lay my head back down on my pillow and hear nothing but my own heartbeat.  I then turn on my left side.  My ear folds in such a way that the voices come back!  What am I hearing!?  Where is it coming from?  The voices are quite beautiful.  I think it is a mixture of some form of acoustics that seem to travel in a time stream. Going either forward or backwords.  This chaos of voices cascades only on the folded ear.
Strange things in the night

Tried counting normal sheep.
It didn’t work.
None of them seem to have that je ne sais quoi
that Eastern - European sleep sheep have.

Tried counting good and bad memories. On an invisible flip chart.
Just like in my youth corporation.
I presented the situation to my inner Earth, waiting for feedback and good vibes.
All I got was a mosquito in my left ear.

Tried counting all the nights when I couldn’t sleep but
I was never good with imaginary numbers.

Then.. I started counting all the “I’m sorry”s,
“I love thee”s
and “It wasn’t me to pull the trigger, your honor!”s,
slowly falling in a pit full of
alligator dreams, just waiting
to bite on my neck.

Sleep made me weak.
Sleep made me spill all the meds on the wooden floor and
suddenly, I started seeing the truth through a pair
of 3D cardboard glasses.

Then I started to feel blue and it all happened so fast, officer!

That's all I hear
24/7 it's hurting my ear
Every discussion headed towards that direction
And Honestly it's in need of a Correction
Can't have a decent conversation
Patiently waiting for the vaccination  
Need to take a break
a vacation
Lose it at 12 and have a celebration
What's wrong with this generation
Acting like it's just normal recreation
What happened to love
What happened to looking up at the stars high above
It hurts
I'm seen as a tool
These boys they talk to me and they cut a fool
Not a day goes by that someone hasn't asked me to "come through" or "send nudes"
And Honestly I respect myself too much
You can look but don't touch
I don't understand why it's so hard for them to get it
These adolescents they're too hard headed
At first I liked the attention
But now all it causes is tension
Is it beyond your comprehension
I don't wanna rush into *** I wanna connection

i.

Into her warmth
Into her warmth;
Is where I seeketh to be.

ii.

Into her soul
Mine home;
Abode,
Where I canst be alive
And free.

iii.

Into her warmth
O' the place of her torch;
That burneth brightly and free.

iv.

Into her soul
Mine safety abode;
Where there's a spiritual bed
For Me and mine queen.

Her countenance shone
As if a million sun's;
Warming mine soul
Heating mine abode.

What effect you as a writer can have on others.


Post a poem here
but only if you dare
they might give you a vote
they might give you a scare

Forum rules guides us there
give them your support, they declare
So while you're focused on your share
don't forget this forum to beware

Quick to write with that care
to avoid any excessive flair
ultimately finding words that pair
you think your poem is extraordinaire

With an open laptop lying next to your chair
eyes in the library begin giving you a stare
nevertheless, you seem to pay them no care
off to your posting like your very own prayer

Hardly finished but you can feel it in the air
somethings going on, something rare
fixated on that email button as your hand draws near
your fan club is calling, you've caught their ear

Once again you've been told, with a reader's tear
just what your poem meant to them, it's so very dear
finally arriving to this worthy conclusion alone to bare
what a world of difference have you made, moving others to Care.....
Please, Poets ONLY!
A short Poem reflecting a Poet's experience. I tried to captured "that moment" of what it's all about.

Alone in your world of solitude, you do not wait for anyone to care
your mind and thoughts are satisfying, and with you do they share
wisdom and knowledge they are your light, what was once far is now brought near
seeking answers for all of your questions, to them guided by your inner ear

Meditating and illuminating, this world is but a testing ground for your soul
you've been reincarnated, given another chance, this world is really your parole
keep in mind with your time here, many above are watching what you do
your life ceasing and again being brought, to a place which no one has a clue

While judging your life, to the hairsbreadth of truth, your actions they will surely measure
for sins committed will you be punished, but for your good awaits you unforeseen pleasure
what is it all for, you question, the wisdom of this world is it really part of life's goal
you don't know, but heaven wishes it so, maximizing the rewards to be earned by your soul

While reading my words and contemplating their meaning, maybe asking how do I know
what audacity I must have to write all this, thinking I just made up words for this to flow
then know, if you follow the truth your soul will not lie, truth is only whispered to the discerning ear
failing to achieve reward for your soul while still here, something really deserving of your fear

After all has been said, do not regret, it pays to reevaluate your direction and take note
if you think that after this life you'll be pushing up daisies, why bother trying to stay afloat
with plan and purpose have we all been put here, expectations for us to try and achieve
desire for us to pass this test, to overcome our challenges and just start to believe
Sometimes when I write, I find nothing of greater benefit when trying to organize my thoughts and ideas than silence. My world of solitude is not only the place from where I do most of my writing. It is the place of my Faith. A place where no one is allowed to enter. My inner sanctuary which must remain exclusively mine. I believe that most spiritual people in touch with their "real selves" would be able to relate to this poem. From my Solitude and with my Faith, I now share it with you.
