The Napkin Poet Dec 2016
Every ounce of pressure against my veins,
like the flood of heavy summer rains.
Trying to escape the coating of my flesh,
internal tensions I could not oppress.
I hear crickets, smell the morning dew.
All I can ever concentrate on is you.
Made to feel nervous but oh so calm,
sometimes even sweet like cherry lip balm.
A moment of combustion then release,
your tongue wanders onto my body, into a crease.
I'll never care if I get rich,
so ever long as you ease my twitch.
Stale smoke and the scent of butane,
breath seeps into me like a bloodstain.
You, a child at heart
and I, a freak into abstract art, like Ad Reinhardt.
What a fine creation, our own constellation,
an innovation, better than intoxication.

The soul of her being, torn apart and dragged
Through the gates of despair and agony.

Soul, broken into crumbs of desolation,
Left her reeling, in the realm of painful epiphany.

Soul, hoping for the torment to die,
In want to fix the broken pieces of her mold.

Drops from a rain, so heavy, yet light
Left her dry but drenched fully in soul.

Soul, unchained and forever in flight,
By the love that rained and made her world whole.

And the skies, they tried to cheer her up; said,
'For every tear you shed, we'll shed a hundred.
And if your loud heartbeat is tearing you asunder,
Just close your eyes and lend a ear to the thunder.'

Sometimes you win,
Sometimes you lose,
Sometimes it rains so beautiful all around me.

Oh oh oh oh she use to be the sweetest girl oh oh she use to be the sweetest girl but when a good girl gone she gone forever and see you can't make it rain without stormy weather and its funny cause when it rains it pours and listen this wouldn't never happened if I wouldn't have gave him my all
This wouldn't never happened if I never traded in my love for lies but I take the L cause I don't want to see my brother lose even for I been through it all
I could never fill my mother shoes and nah I don't want a no handouts I just want to tell the girls that can feel me that I just play the cards that a ***** deal me and see eveything I been thru try so hard to **** me
but I just want to tell the girls that can feel me that boys are all the same in my eyes and I'm tried of running into the same types of ****** but listen ****** are the same in my eyes and see I just don't want to hurt anymore.
          
        This is just a little something and I want to give a big shot out to all the real men's out there....

When it rains, it pours,
with lives of joy.
It'll wash away all the pain.
Also, when it rains, i should be walking in the rain with my girlfriend with my own umbrella.
That's why I bank human at TD Bank. America's most convenient bank.

Anonymous.
Now that's what I called writing a new anonymous poem.
Sourodeep Sep 2015
When from ocean full of tears
leaving behind the sadness
a drop rises pushing behind it's fear
it reaches the heaven
through paths of haziness
and finally comes down
turning into a sweet pearl
on our thirsty face
bringing a smile on
that diligent farmer's face.
Down it goes to the crop roots
and the seeds we did sow
sometimes leaving behind memories
as a vibrant rainbow.
With very less rainfall this year till now, I am scared what all will be affected, hoping for some good amount of rainfall.

Empty, matter-less rooms making loud noises
Ringing in the ears with a familiar buzz

Blindfolded, some figures haunt me
And some paralyzed thoughts, start to run

Some forgotten, shut doors open up new homes
Every time I make way through a dead end

Madness shows more sanity
Like cold nights beckoning warm embraces

Some shake ups make me stable
Some attached strings set me free

When drying rains & drenching sunlight
Remind me what irony truly is

My first poem on Hello Poetry. Hence, special.
Its thunders and storms and rains
flooding the streets outside
And its thunders and storms and rains
breaking the walls inside..

Wiping away all the dust
On the roads and in the heart

Cleansing the surroundings, and
Cleansing the mind

And with all things that floated in the flood
went those paper boats,
The pages of my diary.

Now that the record of the memory is gone,
Wish there was this miracle to wipe the memory itself.

(10w x 6)

Grass hurls back raindrops
as wet soil clings to feet

rain no longer pours
gray disappears
sky turns pale cerulean

eyes journey, to where soft
colors make a heavenly arch

telling of zephyr
a bit of sun
rains, on hold

i wind over...close my eyes
unicorn's music
is
soporific

"somewhere
    over
      the
      rainbow

         blue birds fly
                          
      ............................­........

      ....... why can't i.".......

Somewhere Over the Rainbow
           Judy Garland

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
High above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

~~~~~~~

***I have a musical unicorn figurine that plays this music, which I had been playing over and over while we were having continuous rains.***
