Pauper of Prose Jul 2018
So sweetly sit’s the muse
She’s graced you with a gaze you can use
Lava-like ruby eyes rile and rivet you
But one wonders when she arrived
She came in the dead winter of your sorrows
She came after life harpooned hopeful tomorrows
She came when friends became frigid and hollow
And why? Well it’s your pain that she came to borrow
Her actions lacking rhyme and reason, are so hard to follow
Tears that turn hard thoughts to liquid,
Are the polish she uses to make her crown glisten and glow
Cries that crowd your chest in chronic pain,
Are the notes she plays on her lyre for magnificent melodies
Despair that drips like acid until your soul stews in steam
She dips upon her eyes to see all more clearly
So though we may not know her whim or ways
Mysterious muse will mingle with you on your most defeated days
In the depths of despair..she comes

I know i should not have fallen for you
I know you love someone else
It's just hard to forget
After all it was love at first sight
I still don't know how it all happened
It was all a blur
It hurts just seeing you with him
I tried to move on
I tried to forget
But my stupid heart just won't give up
I hope for the best
I hope to move on
I guess only time will tell
Falling in love can be so hurtful

I sigh for the many awash in despair
My attitude attuned in a devil may care
All clamoring for Poe not knowing of Baudelaire
Or that Ovid’s Bleak Black books of exile are out there
Content to coil in their own content of the unfair
Not understanding that Depression’s hosting a centuries long fair
So rejoice for others have long paid the fare
And like starlight from afar your suffering is fair
And through artistic labor, you set tables of tantalizing fare
Hope heaped underneath hollow hells...

So many scream and cry of the worst
Those people inflicting hurts that bubble and burst
Yet I’ve encountered ones who are much crueler
Who invite madness and chaos by unmeasured rulers
They are the many who never really care
Whose emotional cupboard lay blank, bleak and bare
Who raze instead raise their kids, like barbaric hordes of old
And the kids grow to be monsters that don’t even know,
That the many screams and cries that they’ve heard for years
Are derived from the neglect that nested between their ears
And even the righteous can be blind to those things they left behind..

Is it worth it to you?
All these tears that wet my lips, are my lips moist enough for you? Warm and juicy like honey apples that stimulate the senses like only flavor knows how.
Was it worth it is all I'm asking.
I'm dizzy, floating, choking on the bitter taste of a pill i cannot swallow. Help me, help me, I can't keep my food down or my attitude positive, or my voice from cracking like the skin on my lips as they dry from a lack of kisses from you.
Everyone in the population is addicted to their phones, I was addicted to you. And it may sound a little unorthodox because I left, but I already miss you. I wish time moved like Microsoft word: ticking with each stroke of the keys you control and allowing for rewrites to reach a perfect conclusion, I miss you. Maybe more than the feeling of comfort that once inhabited my soul or the warm hands that once occupied mine, I was a faithful concubine.
But was i really?
Who would've known that a month could span years? We moved so fast and i couldn't switch gears so I knew we would either crash and see our relationship fears or stomp the breaks and leave in tears. Im stupid, I know. But I don't know how to change that
I wondered was the time we spent together worth it, but maybe I was just living in a short fairy tale. Idk. I jumped to a stupid conclusion and lost someone who I was instantly close to.... Yeah I'm stupid.

“It hurts y’know” she said

I asked “what” as I laid on her bed

She gave me a sad smile

And I knew she had been sad for quite a while

She had gave a small laugh before she cried

And I realize with a sigh

She had fallen for the love of a lie

Being single isn't the best

But it comes in handy when your taking a test

Love is a distraction

Caused by an attraction

And can be a reason your torn apart

Love does that to a person

The habit does nothing but become worsen

It's an exception because you have fallen and can never be caught
If you like my poems please follow and like! :)

You made my life so nice and blue
You never knew how much I wanted you
You looked at me and that was all
You made me cry, and let me fall
I wanted you so bad, but that was such a mistake
But it's been two years and I had too much to take
                 You won, and gave my heart the flu
                  And now I wish i never met you
Just been lost lately, so wrote a few poems that are short but meaningful

Oh come fallen angel
Cure my heart of it's regret
Kiss my neck tenderly
Whisper your story so bittersweet

In lunacy, my mind dares dabble
Asleep at last, I face your gaze
The sorrowful eyes of my forsaken flower
Your wings once golden, now rest black
Envelop me within their grasp

Too much pain, my name forgotten
A relic of time fit for a coffin
Boldly did you take my hand
My rescue was your master plan

Dreams still withered
Scars last forever
Solace is your hand in mine
From now until the end of time

Why hope
I think about it a lot
To much I'm sure
Both words
Separate
Or together
So similar
But different
Why hope
For love
For kindness
For life
When to hope
For dreams
For laughter
For love
Why hope
