Your awkwardness is infectious
These words can never really catch us
Would you say I'm making a fuss

Maybe this is normal
you just can't help but being formal
I know all of this seems quite suboptimal

But you know
I didn't think of this like a great show
Are we still going with the flow

I don't know what to tell you
if we both agree on this how could we be through
My thoughts are always overflowing, your words are few

So is it okay if you maybe
phrase your intentions more clearly
all I want is to talk with you freely

Like we talked when we saw
each other with loving awe
and being open and true was the law
Blade Maiden Jul 2018
Why are you so afraid?
Who takes the courage out of us
and leaves empty pages on our doorsteps?

If you'd ask me nicely I gladly lend you my aid
In return just be as good as you allow yourself to be and thus
I promise silently to instead of one I'll make two beds

Inside of these four sides and many scriptless lines
My love's never quite sure how to call itself
I call her by the only name that I know
but know that it's not enough, not quite

If I wouldn't know better I would beg for your trust in these strong-rooted vines
All I want is to let me be me for the sake of myself
And hold closely and in full daylight my beloved stranger, reflected in fresh-fallen snow
For I'd never want to be ashamed of keeping a feeling whole and tight

Please don't ever let me lose my hope in a strangers mind,
it's all I got left in a world full of shallow familiars and quiet pretenders
Don't let me go stray and leave the path less traveled

Let me have
one hand that's tender
that isn't my own
trying hard to hold
on to slippery simplicity

And tell me why
are
you
so
afraid,
heart?

I never knew the best way to initiate *** (or this poem for that matter)
I'm either completely submissive or surprisingly dominant
There's not much in between

I first kiss you slowly
Like an old fashioned movie
Spreading your lips
With my lips
Enter the realm of unknowing

When my tongue embraces yours
My heart beating, uncontrollably
The warmth of you breath
The dampness of your mouth
Positively suffocating

Without another thought
Our clothes begin to come off
Your hands hidden within my hair
We are as we were born
Selfish and bare

Lead me into the darkness
Where the only sense that matters
Is touch
Shield my broken body
Speak unspoken love

Bracing myself
I hold my breath
As I pull your body
Closer
To my chest

Like a well known dance
Your hips move like fire
I melt loudly between the sheets
I am vulnerable
To your desire

Lay rested on your back
For I am protector of the nest
I can hear you breathing
Harder
As sweat trickles down my breast

The time has arrived
I close my tired eyes
Because its darker
And more familiar
As I arch back to grip your thighs

My whole body is shaking
Yours is too
And when it's over
Your breath is softer
My mind is now anew

And when all is done
And we've restored our sight
My closed lips
Kiss your closed lips
And we both respond "goodnight"

Carefully you cut my hair.
The fingers of your hands slid through the blanket of my head.
I looked at your eyes.
Filled with such focus and concentration.
Afraid to talk I tie a knot with my fingers.
Afraid to talk, I made excuses.
Afraid to talk, I tap my foot.
Yet when I opened up.
You revealed to me the normals of your life.
But really a surprise to this life of mine.
Fellow hairdresser, as I sit in the chair.
carefully cutting my hair.
With a scissor on his wrinkled hands.
Maybe I should be more open.
But I should stay closed sometimes.
Like maybe...a half-opened door...
just some thoughts. And yes i did go to the hairdressers today!

Open myself up for you
Bleed out my dreams, hopes, and fears
Leave them, a pile at your feet
You walk away
You see my wounds, you leave them untreated
To grow infected, painful
In your hands; gauze, tape, a needle and thread
The tools to fix me and take away my pain
Instead you stand and watch
It hurts, I cry and plead for help
You give me none
Share no comfort
Lend not one helpful word
Shine no light to guide my path
Aching body has had enough
I am too broken to fix now
I am too hurt to love
Instead I watch you watch me
Until I've lost all strength to go on
You are watching me die

We take the Sun for granted
Like she’ll always be here
As if she is filled with golden rays
That knock away our fears
But what if all that golden light
Doesn’t repel fear itself away
But she’s just too scared to admit
That all of her demons stay
And she relies on the moon to watch her back
But she too has problems of her own
Yeah the stars keep her company
But she still feels so alone.
These two wonders of the sky have so much beauty in common but still ignore each other, what for?
If you would just open your eyes, and open your mind
You two could be so much more.

And it just seems like lately
I’ve been drowning
My mind is gone,
I’m history

.......

Bury me
In misery

Lynterns! Lynterns everywhere! ^.^
I really LOVE this poem format! So much fun to do!
But this is something close to home. I'm well aware that tomorrow is not promised to anyone. Sad but it's the truth. But I want to live, and grow and evolve knowing that I'm living the best way I can. I want to know that my work has touched people even if it's not alot of people.
Most of all, I wanted to thank the people who have supported me.
It's gotten me here, and now I am believing in my craft as a wordsmith.
I'm grateful to you all.
Thank you so much!
Be back soon!

Enlightenment


You must find what cannot be shown.
(Find your own way.)
You must open up and ignore your inner turmoil.
(Lose your doubts.)
Loosen up your hidden heart.
(Have faith in love.)
Close your eyes and see through the dark.
(Believe!)


Listen to silence and hear the answer.
(Find peace.)
Come with me to a higher plateau.
(Find Enlightenment.)
Stand as giants and fly as bees.
(Feel like God.)
Dare to imagine and ignore reality.
(Have a dream.)


Open up your inner-self.
(Be yourself.)
Have faith and go to spiritualist church.
(Find what you need.)
Open up you unconscious mind.
(Nirvana.)
Banish the demons that hide inside.
(Let go of bad memories.)


Confess your sins without speaking.
(Show your true self.)
Replace bad thoughts with good intentions.
(Change your ways.)
Dream a daydream see a shrink.
(Think about change.)
Learn to think and set your mind free.
(Knowledge is power.)


Make a fist then open your hand,
(Trust Me.)
And you will find your nirvana.
(Your future is in your hands.)
You must learn what cannot be taught.
(Experience life.)
Become free of feeling or emotion.
(Have no regrets.)


Meditate. *******.
Let go and cleanse your soul.
(Find inner peace and make yourself happy.)
Demons cannot cause harm.
(Have no fear.)
My love gives you the strength of ten thousand armies,
(I am here for you.)
Stand up and fight for what you believe.
(Show you’re with me.)
I am just a human being.
(I am all I could be…I am simply me.)


Welcome to my world, your heart is hiding,
(Hello Soul.)
Too scared of getting hurt.
(We all have bad/painful memories.)
Be honest with yourself.
(Go and get what you want.)
Unlock the door to a different kind of wealth.
(Find love is the greatest of all things.)
Sacrifice a slice of life.
(Give time to someone.)
Destroy your pride before you die.
(Vanity is worthless.)


Everything you have, is worthless to you,
When seen from afar.
(Don’t let other people tell you what to think.)
Realize you can’t be satisfied,
(You can never have enough.)
A guiding star lead you into my heart.
(Find love.)

Some say love is just an illusion
Just a simple irreconcilability of 2 minds
It’s what we want to be not someone we want to see
It’s also a ton of work
It’s a ton of work you refuse to open your mind towards
I knock
One knock...
You answer...
You say here I am come and be apart of a life I want you to see
I want you to feel
Like a silent storm that settles after a hurricane
I want you to see
Like a mother’s first sight upon her new born babies face
I want you to breathe
Like a hot steaming apple pie your grandmother bakes and leaves out on the stove
Two knocks...
You prop the door open..
You say silently under your breath...
I don’t  have anything for you anymore
No money
No job
No house
No family
But you can’t see I don’t want your stuff
#love,
I’ll never get to pull you out of the ashes
But
I’ll always remember how much I love you
