#new poems on Hello Poetry

escape

every line that I say would be the words
of the man they wanted to see,
hung on the wall in a golden frame.
I was on the edge of the precipice—
but it was you I accidentally dragged with
because the minute we kiss,
I can feel the tip of my tongue
bleeding from the pain of a bliss.

evolve

like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon
I raise my own tattered wings to the sky
cursing the inadequacies,
throwing away all doubts,
shedding my second skin of half-truths
thrown into my head
by words so keen on my own destruction.
by time that had stopped for three hundred days.
by a pen that seemed never ending,
inhibiting the thoughts within my head.

with a new smile in my eyes
I take a newfound strength in my arms,
lift up my wings
and bring myself into a new flight.

been gone awhile but still writing...

Childhood

I put stockings on my head and robbed the corner store for gum

I ran down the train tracks naked with just my sneakers on

I went into a church and smoked a cigarette
Put it out in the holy water
Something I'll never forget

I stole wine and brandy from my mom
Decided I would tie one on
But ended up ******* the bed instead

I was a dreadful mess by the age of 10
Should have seen it coming then

Broken

Society had its plans for me
I played into it spectacularly
But I can dance for you to prove I'm not broken
The crank is in back
And slightly out of whack
But you'll truly believe I've awoken
With dust covered slippers and a baby pink dress
I'll creak back to life to display my distress
And to look at me golly, no one would guess
That this toy is most certainly broken

Staircase

I followed the staircase
all the way down
Somehow forgetting
I could just turn around

I'll Miss You

I could miss you,
If I had the feelings you stole.
When I was whole.

Ditched and strung about,
You left me without!
Now all I have is the anger.

The distain, stress, FURY.
I'd run from the fire,
But now I have desire.

Right, I still have that.
THAT! The feeling of longing... remembrance.

Can it fade?
What once was so hot,
The feelings caught.

Yes, as an abyss,
Never-ending with out bliss.
My out side is charred.

Inside I feel it now.
Growing and expanding,
A cold dulling what was commanding.

What can I be!?
I cant see..
Good-bye me, I'll miss you.

Feeling your shell around

I lied

I'm going to do the world a favor and not write anymore

I'm going to do you a favor and not fight anymore

I'm going to do me a favor and not feel trite anymore

I lied...

Dawn

Anticipating the dawn with irrational dread
She keeps her eyes at her feet and her dreams even lower
Stars fade to mist and the moon escapes the eye
The sun demands attention
It will not be denied
She looks up

To the Day

Thank you for the first touch of sun.
Begging me to start the run.
Little did you know I'm done.

I'll miss your daily mist,
Behind the shadowy fist.
Always before the twist.

Lover did you know?
Of the glow,
Before that blow?

It's a secret I share,
With all who can bare.
It's kind of a dare.

To see what it could be.
The dangerous tea,
Or the softest pea.

I'll see you again, in the morning.
I promise even if it is pouring.
I'd rather not be boring.

Have a good day, and be ready for anything.

Life Goes On

One dies one born
has one forgot
life is not gone?
One comes opens
a caged bird's door
eye on for
a new destination
life goes on!
