Cold dark silence engulfs my room
I hide head under a homemade blanket shield
Eyes red; aching with weariness
From screams we shoot and wield

Tears burn rosy cheeks
Fall like embers through the air
Bits of sadness sting my skin
Sear tissue and remain there

Demons living in my skull
Provide everlasting pain
It lingers on torso and limbs
Pours water down my chin like rain
Pesky demons.

I kissed your lips laced with alcohol
and tasted the sweet sensation of
Nothingness and Regret.
The everlasting touch
that would release me from you.
Yet for some odd reason,
I still wanted more.

Love Everlasting

Have we not witnessed
How the midnight scary dark skies
Are lit up so carefully and timely
By a million humble, and yet enthusiastic, blazing stars
As we lay attentively beneath,
Swimming in our uniquely assigned portions of life
They smile, they shine upon us
Too brightly and yet so naturally gently
Haven't we witnessed?

Have we not noticed
How after the heartless destructive storm
A rainbow of multiple colors
Has laid itself so perfectly in position
Across the tired and idle blue eastern skies
As we stare from below, hopefully
Hoping zealously for a better tomorrow
She stretches, she beautifies effortlessly
And yet our hearts so sore and heavy from the storm
Our faces still light up with wide smiles
Haven't we noticed?

Now can one deliberately deny
The strong indisputable power that lies
Way up above what sight can tangibly comprehend
So much light, too much truth
So much evidence, so much reason
To trust, to believe undoubtedly
And mightily
To the mighty
Love everlasting

Everlasting love is what the world has given to us way too long before anybody else gives love to us
Ivan Brooks Sr Jan 2018
We don't need to live too long
To leave legacies that will live forever.
For a while we live, forever like legends
Our deeds are here for us to speak
Whoever found guilty of doing us wrong
Need to live longer to amend his broken ties
For a while things will stall, at the end we will talk
Our egos circumvented by deep organic love
The greatest assets of human emotions
Which we don't need longer lives to project
For we will live as long as our words lives on.

We don't need to live too long
To speak out deep words of motivation
For a while our words, forever like legends
The consequences are here for history to see
Whosoever neglects the roots of humble beginning
Should live longer to make amends with the Grios
For a while our dreams will meet, only for a while
Ambition will lead us yet, organic love and spoken words
Words, the seeds of poetry engraved in human DNA
Brought to life by poets, read as words painted in poetry
                   For we will live on as long as our words live on

We will live on in our words through our works...

Long after the sun goes down over my grave
And the earth becomes my final resting place ,
Long after my soul has left its mortal enclave
My words will abound from earth into outer space  .

Long after my friends stopped thinking about me
And not a mention of me until my birthday,
Right when the 'late' is added to my name
While my departed soul awaits the judgement day .

Long after I 'm gone and my soul has departed
My great name will continue to softly echo
For ages to come, I will continue to be quoted
From the great beyond my words will spell macho.

Long after I'm gone, my ideas will go on motivating
And all the fruits of my labor will abound in others
For ages to come my messages will keep resonating
From the roots of my poetry to the minds of my brothers.

Long after I'm gone , my works will be widely read
And analyzed for their richness and very deep contents
Long after I've sojourned , about me it will be said ,
He who lays here loved poetry, albeit many other talents .

Long after I have left this temporal phase of my life
And my tired old bones have become a pile of dust ,
Long after I've made widow of my beautiful wife
My great name shall live on and never ever become lost !

When on those nights so cold,
who was there to comfort me but my own bed?
It may seem odd to some,
but for me my bed has always come.

I wrap myself up in it's blankets,
form a cocoon of everlasting peace.
Where pressure nor stress can haunt,
and where no man can taunt.

I talk to myself.
Some might think I'm crazy for doing so.
But what's so crazy about it?
It's pretty normal for me.

My bed has become my home.
I live within it's walls.
Sometimes I become too comfortable,
and bathe too long in it's enveloping walls.

I sometimes find myself in extreme situations,
"This must be due to my bed!" I exclaim,
"It's persuaded me too far this time."
Of course, by the next day,
or even the next hour,
I find myself in those places again.
Perhaps I am to blame.

However, once I've realize where I was,
I instantly recollect my thoughts.
Regret what I was about to do,
and hoped instantly for a new.
And, for a while,
every thing seems to make me smile.
The walls of my bed have faded away,
and I am left in a state of allay.

But that time must come to an end.
According to my bed, it will only begin again.
My bed then reminds me of everything.
Every red line on the skin.
Every rope from the tree.
Every bridge dived from.
Every falsely committed sin.
It reminds me that these exist,
and I will remember for as long as it insists.
Some people asked me to make more bed poems

Tuck Everlasting


A musical that didn't exactly live up to its namesake.

Ironic isn't it?

As far as I know...

Pain is just that..

Everlasting.
Wanna live forever?

When the petals had decayed
When the leaves had scorched     When the stalk had withered
When only thorns had remained
Your love was still untarnished

Whats in a name? That which we call a rose , by any other name would smell as sweet~ W.S.
HM Oct 2017
I never wanted a love that is consuming,
I only wanted a love that is everlasting,
none that will put my heart to a test,
one that will prove true love is no jest.
Will you still love me tomorrow?
For I have sworn forever and another with you.
