Pockets Aug 2020
they always come late in the night
Right before I close my eyes
Right before I end the day
they come fast and beg me to stay awake
But many times I'm to tired
I let them die in vain

But if the words make a good impression
Then I will roll over and immortalize
There names
Take your favourite lipstick!
Now,  quick!
Use maroon, vermillion, or desire,
But it -must- be red.

Take your favourite lipstick.
Do you have it?
Good.

Write nuance on your knuckles.
And kiss the world hello.
Just something quick I needed to say.

Never say
anything
you might
regret


it
Means
only speak
words
that have survived 3 days'
chewing,
churning,
turning
in thought.
... and then there is nothing left to say.

the words
i put out
can't be said
out loud
but
would they even
make sense
to you..
would they?
if i were
to write
something
about you..
would you
even know
that the words
mean more than
just meaningless
sentences on a page..
would you even try
to figure it all out..
or would you say
nice things
just to say them
cause you wouldn't
actually understand
these words
that i put out
for you..

would you?
...

im drunk writing a poem for you
honesty rolling off my tongue and mind
as i speak and write about you.

im drunk writing a poem about you
everything's a blur, nothing is pellucid
but its clear—so clear, i love you.

im sober writing a poem about you
nothing has ever changed
i love you still.

I've seen you smile with pain in your heart
Watched you fall,
Crash to the bottom
And crawl your way back to the top
You're stronger than you think
Every day is a new beginning,
A new page, a clean slate
A chance begin anew, start afresh,
To get it right
I want you to taste life like it's new
Let the sun remind you
That life is beautiful every day
Let the rainbow bring colours of laughter to you
Embrace the gift of life
Cherish the blessings that guides you
And may you only know
Hope that makes you dream
Failure that brings you success,
Success that brings you joy
Friends that makes you laugh
Passion that makes you live
And love that makes you love more.

The little deity that demands to be worshiped
It fills your soul with it's potent fragrance
Kings and queens are brought to their knees
By this little deity

The purest of souls becomes the darkest abyss
Controlled and empowered for its purpose
Breaking free is not an option
Underestimate not the power of this deity

This deity relishes the torment it gives
Playing on weaknesses
Poking and provoking
A volcanic eruption

For this spontaneous deity
Comes and goes at whim
In uncontrollable bouts
Preying on it's unsuspecting victims

Inside its shrine weapons are created
Killing and destroying
Like a fire breathing dragon
Consuming all in it's path

When this deity is done
Regrets and emptiness are left in its wake
With you crumbling to your knees
The extent of damages unfolds.

What words can I carry when I meet you in the dark,
I have whispered so many nothing's to you under moonlight,
I know not the weight of the truth or the people that hold it,
Writing stories about you so that I don't have to live them out,
It all reminds me of a poem I read 7 years ago that left me empty,
I didn't know I could relate to these terrible, petty horrors,
I became a poet that loves nothing other than not being loved back,
I swear I used to be in pain long before I needed it to just to write.

Poem is the art and emotions of the person writing it;
It is a gift and a friend whom we can lean on anytime.
We read it when we're sad;
And there we can find some inspiration and courage;
To continue our lives bravely and not give up.
We read it when we're angry;
To calm ourselves and think thoroughly.
We write poems to express the feelings and thoughts that we have;
We write poems to give inspirations and to motivate others.
It is maybe just words but through writing and reading poems, we can clearly see and understand the reality ;
All of us maybe read the same poems, but truthfully we read it differently and have different thoughts about it.
But what we have in comparison is that, we read and write poems because it is a cure to us in any emotions that we have and we need it in our lives.
