Oh take me home
To my melancholic road,
Where I used to stroll everyday.

Where all you would hear
Was the song of a wing
And a sigh was all you would say.

Where all you would smell
Was the freshest of air
And the sweetest of colours in May.

Oh take me home
To my melancholic road,
Oh take me back for one day.
Written while walking the roads up by my home in the country,  I don't get down as often as I would like.

How can your hands
be so warm
when your blood
is so cold?
~~ There is something lonely about happiness. ~~

My sad soul froze
In the moment
The very moment
When our melancholic eyes
Kissed in harmony.*

Motionless...
Each thought that I conjured just took over us
Power is a word, something that i've lost,
A trait that I'd destroy when my love turned into wrath

Sweet, sensational behold another universe
Behold another realm in which our love is not that fierce

In another reality, I should meet you first
But in all the other galaxies I guess I never learnt

Time, space and now love is a variable
Because in every possibility our love is incomparable
My love for you...

Can you love?

Can the look I give you be explained?
In science we're just molecules,
Your love's yet to be attained

In a reaction
Ever Felt Confused?

Please pull the trigger,
I beg and I plead
My life is a mess
my heart needs some peace.

Please pull the trigger,
would you try to save  me
I'm depressed, melancholic
No more, no please.

Please pull the trigger,
the burdens too big
my body is weak now,
my soul needs to sleep.

Please pull the trigger,
Grant my last wish
'fore I lose to myself
I'm helpless. I'm weak.

Hey mister! please look and see
My soul begs for freedom
my heart wants its peace.

Mister please pull the trigger,
Please try and save me
I'm tired, I'm bored
I'm done for, I QUIT.
A labyrinth of the deepest emotions
they ablaze within the eye
as if born of fire
the zest for emotion is held deep within  
maybe we are just emotionally emotionless
maybe we are nothing but just iridescent tears
falling from within the eye we descend

lost within the eyes we are
emotions being trapped
screaming out for attention
nothingness begins to set
creating everlasting oblivion
Ben Buckley Jul 2016
A busker played a song which reminded me of you
and as I turned to see
the world metamorphosed into a canvas
washed with
dull greys and silhouettes,
inviting me to paint on it my nostalgia.
Melancholy surges, and I fill my head
with images of coffee jars filled with your name.
I chalk you onto my Christmas list, and let my eyes swim in their sockets.
My favourite sport is playing with the thought of having you again.

Five minutes might change everything.
I'm not sure what this poem resembles, but that's the beauty of it. Read between the lines and you will find empty space. There's nothing to it.
Eye light candles,
twisted winking at
whirlpool water walls.
Cracked note sound saliva ,
arrives late in the day.
While the eye light candles'
wax melts to tears.

Free-floating mouths
switch on insincere smiles.
With micro-tonal sneers that
flex in a wind
of pointless perpetuity.

The smile's
smile their smiles.
The eye light candle's
wax tears fall to fate.
A sun wakes and exhales
light; but it's far too late.

I had a billion words to say
a billion emotions to express
a billion burdens to dump
a billion manacles to unchain
uncountable encounters with pain
I had a gruesome past to escape
the taunting memories it brought
So one day I caught chalk & wrote.
& that became my very first poem
a billion happy sad stories to tell
tales of how I've been through hell
scary nightmares to overcome
& someone in the wait to become
so I held on the rope of my talent
and I started to rhyme, with time
some people claimed I'm a poet
I had nothing to tell them I was
So I became what they saw
but deep within I'm just
the troubled soul and
a combat fighting wars...
battling a madness
and this is just
my dose...deep
within I'm still
who I was.
