Your book hides its head
Thinks below
Our gaze waits for you
Beginning, the show

Writing My arms in black and blue
Message from lily pad hearts
The start, of a melody
The end of a symphony
See. The glow, the permanent
Hidden code
Showed, what I feel in hieroglyphics
My love will not show
Will not breathe, stand close, or far
Below, ago, you may know
My love can not show
What I cover. What Skin I wear, a visage, but truthfully a disguise of my truest feelings.

hiding inside the darkness
peering out into the light
only to find
that my soul hates the bright--
too much to comprehend
too much to grasp
the dark seems safer for me
and I keep wanting just to clasp
its safety and its comfort
for darkness brings only quiet
and light brings all the sound
'make it stop!', my inner voice screams
as I fall in a heap onto the cold, hard ground...
trying to capture the pain of a migraine...ow, ow, ow!

I just want him to reach within my soul
and try to grasp all the pieces that make me whole.
Earl Jane Jan 2016


I will grasp it all,
All everything,
I will conquer it all,
All everything,
All throes and persecution,
I will grasp them all,
Oh yes, I WILL!
As long as in my triumph,
YOU  will be my divine prize.



with love <3

i love you so much my kingg!! ssoo muuucchhh
The things i can't control
I need a firm grasp
But i keep slipping up
What do i do to counteract these phenomenons?
It's like the Bermuda Triangle, i have no idea.
My ignorant side still wants to find out
Not a shock.

Breathless I gasp.

Voiceless I call.

Your face eludes me,
your heart so very far from mine.

What a peculiar state we're in,
lost in the wild,
drowned in the silence.

These days I struggle to see your face,
your smile,
your laughter.

How come we by this canyon?
This incredible divide.

It weighs ever so heavily upon my soul,
tearing the life from my chest,
ripping the very heart in me.

Your face eludes my vision
I cannot see you,
your so far away from me,
I'm helplessly lost in the night.

I grasp at thin air
searching for what is not there,
for your are so far away,

So very,
far away.

To hold a view, of sound not sight
The rustling calls, of an inward light

To travel among stars, lost but free
Rise to the call of the voiceful sea
Alice R-P Jun 2015
Love is an universal language.
Is it truly?
Feels like everyone has their own dialect,
With which they are born with
And do not get to select.
From these
Most I have hard time to decipher,
Some I can grasp,
A small number I seem to comprehend,
A handful I understand,
But only in one
I am completely fluent in.
Poetic T Jan 2015
My heart beats only for
For, for a moment of your
Time
Passes
Motionless
When your within my possession,
Hands stay to my side, but wishing
To hold upon your grasp,
"I scream silent"
I
Love
You,
As arteries burst within my heart
I reach out to you,
Hands held as if begging for your notice
But you just look away, as if in disgust,
I summon last ounces of my fortitude,
As you look around as love   explodes
From my chest,
You are covered in the ruination
Of a heart now dead,
As I lay
Motionless,
Loveless,
Worthlessness,  
love was my only
survival, but that flat lined when you turned
Your back upon me,
Now you are covered in shards of love
Never forget the moment love  died,
As I lay still, my heart broken, my breath it sleeps.
Poetic T Dec 2014
I was born empty, never feeling
I was just a shell,
Was the breath real
Did that which I'd touched
Know that it had been like a
Feather blown upon a breeze
I neither
Felt,
Touched,
Registered
With each thing within my grasp,
It was not knowing, only my grip by sight,
They said I would learn
I would touch, feel,
Knowing the gentleness
That I could hold in my palm,
I was born empty,
They call me the
"Tin man"
That a machine doesn't have a heart,
I feel sadness for the loneliness
I am only one,
I have mastered an emotion
But not the one I want,
They say I am empty
That to feel you have to feel inside,
"But I was born empty"
Will I learn to
Feel,
Touch
Love
The emotions that will make me
Less empty than before,
I am only one,
The one no one understands.
