Her heart was always closed
It was never opened
The lock in her heart was still closed
She waited for the right key owner
Many key owners tried to unlock the lock
Some tried to unlock the lock by force
But the lock was still locked
She is very patient and waiting for the right key
Because she knows that the key owner
Will forever protect the treasure in her heart.

I guess poetry
is like
that at times

whether or
not
we try for
rhymes

when she's quiet
decides to snub

do we go after
her
with a club

do we do
that
to our muse

is there such
a thing
as muse abuse

guilty here
sometimes

but is that
really
such a crime

cough it up
I know
it's there

it's there
somewhere

do not be
stubborn

come on
now

you know
you
know how

and I did not
stutter


out comes
the club
a threat

I'll get something
out of you
yet


but

nothing
               nada
                       zilch

                                 0
I happened upon this quote and love it. I had to do *something* with it!

..closing time..
the oncoming
impending          
silently awaiting
traffic  
stretching ahead      
too far...
too long...
too wide...
..parting time..    
and a time              
to slip slowly
into
the
eternity
of
a ride.
sigh      
i'm always    
right here
watching you          
from the side...
before i knew it----
rush hour
it was like      
the traffic was          
staring at me              
all this time                  
and i don't know
but it is trying to say something
      and i don't care                              
but i've always known what it is
whatever is beyond      
in front of me    
i really don't want            
to reach it...  
everything is moving          
around and around
well around me          
so blindingly quick
but here i am,          
standing still----                    
..red light..            
i see so many
stuck
going in circles
in circles
in circles
in circles
in repeat                
in repeat                
so tediously    
i saw memories              
in a brightly flashing light        
first came smiles
then came laughter
then there were bottles
i don't even know which ones
    and more and more bottles                  
next came giggles
and whispers
and other voices
sweet nothings            
that somehow
were never really nothing                  
slowly turning bitter      
  quickly becoming swill        
..yellow light..      
i saw memories
in quickly fading beams
   screams                    
yes, i saw screams                        
i couldn't tell if it was me
shouting in your face            
or you wailing for help              
then pain      
i don't know how    
but they were visible pains              
burning pain        
screeching pain
no idea how    
but they were real            
how you ached
then i'd ache
then you'd regret
and i'd be frustrated
et cetera                  
yours?            
mine?        
painful nonetheless...          
..hazard..              
i saw you
just there
so close within reach                
yet so far beyond mine                
just there...
staring expectantly        
and either i will follow you
or leave you alone------
fade in
then fast forward      
..green light..            
and the traffic rolls in    
like the first second
in oncoming eternity
        traffic        
like crawling
footsteps          
tip
then
tap
then
***
then
tat
one by one
by two then and to
like falling rain
and i'm just certain          
where it's all headed    
down the drain
first a drizzle
then a storm
a hail
a welcome?
  it's always been there                  
and never waiting to move...
just waiting for me.          
                  ..step..    
just one
..step..        
then another    
..step..  
and our memories      
and our regrets
and our hurts        
yes, every single one              
all around me-----
..one way street..          
the traffic stretching              
all in front of me                  
so slowly
but all together
so instantly
it sunk in...                      
there was never a destination
just a long long long wait
..tire screeches..
just an abstract----challenge (traffic) by Anne Scintilla  i really have no idea what this is about, make of it what you will

Poeple are blinded by this so- called fate
Believing they're destined and started to date
But to know the outcome, we have to wait
For there is a thin line between love and hate.

Love comes in the right place and time
And the persons in it are the right ones
But what if it comes in wrongly?
Should we considered it too as accidentally?

People say there always a red strings attached
For those people whom heaven matched
But how can we say if she or he is the one?
If all the signs we asked, we received none.

I had to admit I am still confused
On how to defend my love beliefs and values
Love comes hate, right with wrong
These ideas linger on me for so long.

My brain keeps thinking
While my heart still beating
I have to continue my answer-seeking
Even though I am just guessing
Love is complicated but still believing
Life is worth living and
Love is worth fighting.

She murdered my soul , it manifested into flowers.
cheap cologne I got for Christmas the following week.
I used to draw so many portraits of a face that'll never
have flapping lips engraving on my tomb stone for
someones amusement lying to myself like I didn't give
a **** but I did and it hard enough to let you go even
for a minute , it was written that one day i see your face
again and I won't have my soul taken from the way you
treated me the last time and left me feeling so depressed,
I had to tell myself that your a pessimist,
just a figment of my imagination,
I use to think you were a goddess but you nearly had me fooled
like,
You wanted me to be a savage but wasn't that kind of dude like.


/

Two times , the surprise in your eyes,
there's a world for each pupil.

Stars will align , within a weeks time,
I swear that everything is neutral.

Head , first
in , to,
life,
itself,
life itself , life itself,
stop running home,
you don't need your wealth,
need your wealth , need your wealth,
cause all the people , the people,
they just wanna be notice in this time of agony,
yeah the people , the people,
they don't want all your city folk or your pity...

Most people , don't like strings that attach,
but like who needs time for love.

but most sheeple, don't like seeing the real,
to find out what lies above.

Head , first
in , to,
life,
itself,
life itself , life itself,
stop running home,
you don't need your wealth,
need your wealth , need your wealth,
cause all the people , the people,
they just wanna be notice in this time of agony,
yeah the people , the people,
they don't want all your city folk or your pity.

I did not want this
I did not want to catch feelings
for you
or smile every time you text
or wait for a message instead of sleep
or smile at you when you're not lookin'
or laugh about your stupid jokes
or look in your **** ordinary eyes
and feel like they're not ordinary at all.

Do you ever feel the blues?
Do you feel blues talking to you ?
Do you feel like all blues were sung for you?

Blues crying out loud !

Guitar telling me to go for it,
but the sax telling me to just,
let it be.
piano telling me to hold on,
but the harmonica telling me to just,
let it go.
the drums, the vocals, the song,
screaming at me and telling me,
just go for it.

Blues crying out loud !
I'm crying out loud !
Why do i love you so much ?
when you just don't care !
NO ! It just aint fair.
Is it fair?
when i love you so much,
but you just don't care.

Blues crying out of love.
I'm crying out for you.
i have fallen for blues the same way i fell for you
