If you are the a sun,
Then I am life blossoming from your warmth.

If you are the earth,
Then I am the moon eternally by your side.
Actual love notes left for my cream puff.
20something Jul 2014
There is something to be said for the beat of the song that can become the rhythm of my heart.
For a minute I can forget what I'm trying not to remember,
and the chaos of my mind slows enough so that I can finally find a ******* smile,
I've practically forgotten they exist,
yet here they are,
underneath a heavy blanket of bitterness that has permanently clouded my mind since then...
God bless the melody thats crashes in my eardrums,
and the lyrics that wash over me as I breathe them in.
I can taste the sound on my tongue and it leaves me speechless.
My bloodstream isn't even drowning in a 70 proof serum,
but here I am
dancing underwater from toe to fingertip in a sea of musical notes
and right now
everything
is
almost
okay
Why I Listen To Music So Much
Deneka Raquel Jul 2014
I miss the notes that,
Completed the symphonies that followed your love.
How the earth shifted beneath my feet,
As if the its plates,
Also felt the tremors of your kisses.

The orchestra of the universe,
Beckoned at the curl of your lips.
The stars motivated into melodic choreography,
To celebrate your happiness.

That was once upon a time.
That was when our love was alive.
When that love died,
Ominous echoes followed.
My heart bellowed.
Living became as labored as breathing.
Dissonance grew with thunder
Air gathering weight.
Every part of me felt absence,
As if your love suddenly became extinct,
And mines an endangered species,
On the brink of a similar faith.

I remember the glory days.
I remember how beautiful skies were
before you tainted them with,
Splinters of your shattered promises.
Promises to love me forever,
When you gave your love to someone else.

How the fallen petals once fresh,
Wilted, scowling,
They will know beauty no more.

How angry jagged peaks,
Loom over gentle rolling hills.
Can you feel it?
Because I can feel.
I can't feel every sensation,
Every impression,
Cutting amorphously into
Every dream I've ever dreamt
Erasing every inch of hope I've ever felt.
How cruel love dismembers its victims?

The damask surface of my heart,
flickers threats of gossamer hints,
as song birds chant their heavenly hims.
Memories of our sins.

I want to forget you.
But how can I forget you,
When you've left such an impression on me.
Euphonious melodies,
Imprinted into my my being.
Taking so much of me when you left,
You left me no choice but to move on,
To the sound of my doom.

What could I do?

There was a time when of our love,
I used to boast,
How can I now,
With these missing notes?
Yea, average emotional roller coaster poem.
Michael Amery Jul 2014
You claim that you're no poet,
That you lack the gift of words,
Yet your notes convey such meaning,
Leaving me filled with the gift of love,
So I respond forget the poetry,
Pretty phrases and simple rhymes,
Continue writing as you do,
As I will love you for the rest of time.
Mik Josefchuk Jun 2014
Don't you know the feeling?
Hating what makes you feel alive?
Don't you love the adrenaline?
It should have killed you, but you survived.
How many years have gone by since that day?
Has the thought ever crossed your mind?
Through all of my taunting and singing and loving and needing,
I've always wanted to die.

I make exchanges with the devils,
So God will forget my sins,
The list will keep on growing,
But I refuse to let Satan win.
I still have hope in this life,
But all the same I'm numb,
You don't deserve to see this,
The monster I've become.

I'm not afraid of dying,
Just of losing you,
A life without you is meaningless,
There's nothing I can do,
So I will hold your hand tightly,
Guide you into the light,
Because even in the darkness,
Your soul is burning bright.
Three notes to three very important people in my life.
The first: A wake up call.
The second: An apology.
The third: A recognition.
Josiah Wilson Feb 2014
Chin up, head up
Bad days never
Last forever

Eyes dry, don't cry
I'm here to say
It gets better

I'm here for you
If you need me
And I won't leave
Believe me
Tyler Cobain Jun 2014
Hair waving like golden grass
A present grace that transcends this isolation
Skin flawless like priceless glass

Your lines instil envy in every artist
Blue eyes that reflect the peak of bliss
So humble you are but I must insist

Asking once upon your lips
How many times have you shied away?
I can't count how many trips

Conversations of give and receive
I fumble and mumble
Then silently leave

I return with the same mission
Forging courage for wisps of steam
I let fear take over and make my decision

Your beauty I daren't miss
So I shall not blink
As my soul suffers for that elusive kiss

Ardent girl some day I'll ask
For now I can only admire
And in your splendour I shall bask

Until the day when I find mettle
Manqoba Jun 2014
Tears of a drowning heart
Memories of a lost soul
Trying not to remember what happened in the past
Because you leaving me is all I can recall
Fallen off the cliff of heartbreak
You're no longer there to catch me when I fall.

Simply faded in front of my eyes
I was blinded by the fog which covered up all the lies
No more warmth in my arms
Just shivers like the winter cold
I can't stand to watch the realities of my nightmares unfold.

Maybe when the sky is blue
And the sun is bright enough to shine away my flaws,
I won't be oblivious enough to miss the beautiful day
Sometimes in life our dreams aren’t as close to reality as we would like them to be
But I'll never lose hope for the day that you come back to me.
Bec Jun 2014
You were asleep long before the sun had set

And twice as long after it had risen.

So I left a cup of tea on the table beside your bed,

With a kiss on your cheek and a note

I love you when the days become your friends

And I love you when you can’t bear to face them.

Everything that’s you are the best things in my life

era
the parallels of she and her and you
and the era extinct.
the notes that linger on the rooftop
the shapes that she drew
the shapes that you colored in
the notes that were written
the notes that were written
and erased.


the absence is not new,
though rises like a dull sun in winter
in search of somewhere
less white.
