'I'm leaving the country.'

You muttered in spur,
Leaving me in stun.
Splashing cold water,
With a cold shoulder.

'Goodbye.'

Your gaze was freezing,
Never ending snow.
Dazing out of space,
Was where you left me.

'......'

Silence overtook,
No anger nor feels.
Never did I chase,
Over impossible.

'......'

Describing in words,
Was never enough.
Hollowness in depth,
Oblivion was near.

'......'

Decades was what took,
Strucking and ruining.
Squeezing me inside,
Scrunching me outside.

Motions in slow,
the tears came rolling down.
No words could describe how I felt.
When you left me, for success.
I didn't regret letting you go,
Nor not chasing after you.
But this poem is dedicated to you,
For being able to make feel,
Such a strong emotion.

Everything in moderation
three words
Seven deadly sins
Never heard

Love just wasn't enough for lust
Love fades
Lust burns til satisfied

Needs weren't enough for greed
Just wasn't cutting it
More became a must

Confidence didn't go a long way for pride
A boost sat you high enough to see the table
But you still had to get fed

Satisfaction wasn't sweet enough for gluttony
What worth was the taste of victory?
If the victor was numb?

Anger wasn't fulfilling for wrath
Can't hold a candle to
An all consuming pillar of fire

Relaxing only got sloth halfway there
Swaying in content
was nothing like
Sinking in lament

Envy is blind to self worth
Vision obscured
By your successes

You are enough
Three words
Seven deadly sins
Never heard

I expected to be a millionaire or at least that was what I thought.
I killed a homeless man to get the lottery ticket that he bought.
When I demanded that he give me his lottery ticket, he refused to give it.
I stabbed him with my knife and I foolishly thought I would get away with it.
After I cashed in the lottery ticket, I received fifty million bucks.
But the Police traced the knife back to me and I was out of luck.
When I took that poor man's life, I stood there and watched him bleed.
I wouldn't be in jail and he'd still be alive if it hadn't been for my greed.
Please don't be greedy like I was because it's a terrible sin.
Because of my greed, I'll never see the light of day again.
Even though this poem is fictional, Greed really does drive some people to ****.

Living in a world where is based on what you have then who you are. Where everyone is different in the same way. So who really is unique? Where attraction is based what you give not what you bring. Poetic justice doesn't exist. Burning down a city is not really freedom. But who am I to preach, if I sin every day. Why would God forgive? In a world where everything is for sale even self esteem I'm still having a issue with mine. In a world where everything is for sale but I won't buy. I still believe in being me. Lost touch with the art but I still believe in me. Lost the love for the world but I still dream. Lost the one, she wasn't the Poetress I was looking for. **** this new world.
At 13 I dreamed of a million... at 23 I see money is not everything. But in this new world money is everything and everything has a price.

All I want right now is rough *** and rock and roll, a hot bath and a loaded bowl.
To let loose a scream and eat chocolate ice cream.
To say "I'm fine" and have my turn to shine.

Because I detest that I need some rest, I try my best to reach the crest and keep from falling back

How rotten it is, true to see

Is burning bridges, among burning trees

Redact your senses, among this pyre

Will see our ends, in this burning fire

We gave our joy, for selfishness and greed

We developed a bloodlust, a mighty need

We ate the meek, and burned the rest

Now we wait for our rewards, in jest

This is humanity, blanketed with deceit

But it smiles at corruption, and always eats

This machine is burning bones, ever so much

When we lose all the bones, we will lose touch

Humanity smiles, with a bloodied grin

Blaming the innocent for its sin

This is so, this is such

A blood starved beast, lusting for much

Rage
Rage is powerful
Lashing out
Hurting anyone near

Greed
Greed is powerful
Absorbing
Pulling anything in

Fear
Fear is powerful
Frightening
Frightening anything

Will
Will is powerful
Standing strong
Refusing to break

Hope
Hope is powerful
Breaking through
Finding a way to shine

Compassion
Compassion is powerful
Nurturing
Caring for those around

Love
Love is powerful
Assisting
Helping you from the deepest of troubles

Emotions
Emotions are powerful
Assisting or destroying
Giving you the power to go on

By Arcassin Burnham

When daydreams turn to nightmares,
Your mind bleeds a little bit less,
Painful memories,
At least it use to be,
Broken spinal cords,
And plastic ropes have made your enemies,
Make Alice say you have more madness than I do,
And the Hatter Couldn't Believe,
I Could Paint the canvas just the way you want it,
have It Any Which Way,
won't Judge Or choose for you,
Now you depend on desperation to save the day,
But Only god Can judge on A Sunday,
So I Assume Its A Now or Never,
True Soldiers pick roses for their fallen,
Not knowing what they fell into,
what their objective was,
what they were entitled to,
well,
Doubts are not as bad suspicions,
But theres bad blood,
always see to it that you put in a mention,
If Its final of the finessed you want,
you'll get it.
So many wonders???

The too saccharine melodies
spewed by your commercial radio
are a musician's tears

The towering temples of bought art
are the callused hands of painters

The indelible words in the glossiest books
are the wounds of a poet laid bare
for the world to pollute

Art is being defaced in
The name of making a face for those
Who turn the wheels of art
In their favor

Art is being consumed
By the masses who breed consumption
But do not worship the glory of its creation

Art is being forgotten
And the only ones who remember
Are those who suffer for it
This is mediocre at best. I stayed in a cafe for two hours hoping I could make better poems but I guess it's harder when they get more personal. Didn't have the time to write these last couple of weeks because a lot of things happened and i want to disconnect to people as much as possible.  I've been keeping this with me for a long time and is something that I feel so strongly about. This poem does not do the message much justice.

New Territory,
Don't be sorry,
Just worry,
That you may not see,
Or feel,
Hear,
Taste,
Smell,
Because I'm near,
And I'm out to find you,
I'm addicted to a certain kind of sadness,
Silence,
But I'll admit,
I'm going to be glad when it's over,
Because then,
You're mine.
Sorry I haven't been on for almost 2 months, very difficult to keep up with everything going on but I really do appreciate everyone who reads my poems! Please give feed back,
This poem is more on the ****** side of things.

I want to recommend a song ive been obsesses with -Basic space-The **
