You don't find writing,
Writing finds you.
Ayn Feb 2020
I call myself a writer
Yet I’ve never made another cry
With the pieces I’ve written.
I’ve seen looks of disgust,
And those of disappointment,

But how does one invoke
The emotions felt in that moment
In the hearts and minds of the literate?

I want to create tears from one’s eyes,
Let the warm water streak a path,
And then send a fearful shiver
Up their chilled spine,
And freeze those beads of water
Into spikes of ice.

Maybe a boiling rage can follow,
And dissipate those trailing tears.

But when all is said and all is done,
Others spike emotion.

I spike none.
I realized that I’ve never seemed to have the same effect on others with my writing as others’s work has had an effect on me. Sometimes, there’s more to believing than seeing though, so I’ll hope that somewhere, sometime, I’ll invoke the intended emotion into someone.

A pin on a globe

Listening to the eery whispers of the world

Hiding from the acquainted aches


The pin falls

It is lost

In its own world



A world of pain

Dished up, slapped into the palm of their hands

Underneath the slab of guilt

The pin, which was once secured on the globe

Is found trembling

alone

It has been awhile since I've written
Busy and it's hard to find time
I know that each first word I write
The start of a difficult climb

Every foothold hard to find
Work for each sentence and letter
When I finally reach the end
Feel as if I could have done better
Written 8-11-13

I have almost posted every old poem i have from middle school (2007) through 2017

You're one I can never forget a sin,
I commit over and over again.
Like a sweet addiction on my breathe,
A craving I can't resist.

You're one regret I love to taste,
your substance abuse.
Drunkenness and naked in your glory,
Oh God give me one last drink.

You're a mistake a type of adultery,
That brings me pleasure.
I would choose you as my drug,
****** injected in my veins.

I keep wanting more even after I swallowed the bitterness.
The taste of methadone as it dissolves on your tongue.
The best mistake I made is your regret a taste I can never forget.

  Bury me alive

It's cold down here, no one
can hear me.
I know you are there, I smell
your foulness.

Is there a reason, you're here,
why are you just standing there?
It's wet and moist down here,
where am I, where have you taken me?

I'm "alive, please" "sweetheart, don't" bury me.
It's wet down here I can't breathe, help me!
I need "water, there's" a pungent taste and its hard swallow.

"No, "sweetheart" I didn't
do anything, that's not me laughing.
You can trust me just let me out,
so I can kiss you again.
It should be you down here,
you pathetic cry baby.

Bury me alive, I still will not die
I will haunt you awake or dreaming.
Dig my grave 6 feet deep and
I still will claw my way out of here.
They will find us in my grave with a suicide note you wrote.

2k19 month of September
Alarmed an international terror
Climate change, change in weather
Drought across the nation
Turned into fire Strom centre
5 months from now
We can still witness the ember
Smoke, ashes from bushfire
Travelled thousands of acres

This inferno had us surrender
We lost a million of species endangered
And pushed many near extinction
Humans were no exception
32 were lost in this render
People lost their land of ancestors
Houses which were a place of
Laughter, revitalization and relaxation
Now are nothing but melted shelters

Firefighters to social writers
All jumped to help out the situation
From taking control over fire
To spread awareness
Seeking for helpers
Nature finally blessed us
It rained and things got under control
Before fire would swallow everything
And melt us...
People of Australia stay strong we all are with you...
