I wanna be high on the star dust of love, floating above the atmosphere from the taste of your lips, yet still held against the Earth by your tight embrace. A hug so warm that the sun needn't have cause to exist. A love that allows me to lose myself in the black hole of my mind, while still feeling secure enough not to be ****** in by its unique gravitational pull. I want to be able to have my stomach rotate within itself when around you, and most importantly I would love not to have to do so in silence, light years away from you, caught in a terrible case of inertia. But rather have my whole world orbit around your extraterrestrial existence, no matter what phase you are in, or how whole you feel nor how large your shadow cast. -Love E.S.

What if I wanna feel high on the universe ?
Still Here: I don’t owe anyone an explanation Not for my fake smile, not for my silence, not for the nights I can’t find sleep People look at me and think they know But they don’t feel the noise in here The looping thoughts, the heaviness that drags me under The ache I’ve carried longer than I can remember Being alive hurts It’s not about surviving, it’s about feeling everything too much The grief that clings, the joy that slips away too fast Sometimes I wonder if I’m stitched together by all the things I’ve lost If that’s all healing really is Learning to walk with holes where pieces used to be I get tired of pretending Tired of acting like I’m not cracked, like I’ve figured it out Because I haven’t Some days just getting out of bed feels like a war no one sees And I want to scream that existing shouldn’t be this hard But then the quiet comes and I remember if it hurts this much, it means I’m still here It means I still care Healing isn’t clean It’s bleeding into my own hands and still choosing to keep going It’s sitting in the dark and waiting for a reason And maybe that reason is that the sun always comes up Whether I want it to or not I don’t need anyone to name me I don’t need them to understand This is my life, messy, scarred, and unfinished But it’s mine And if that’s what it means to be alive Then I will take it and embrace it Even with the grief Even with the ache Even with all of it -Jacob Malone

Still Here
In the emptiness of consciousness, Thoughts swallow us whole Just as we swallow thoughts. As we swallow thoughts, Dreams torment us, Seeping into tortured Bones. Your own skeleton will claw at your Skin. (The cold burns, Doesn't it?) Undead brains are for undead bodies, While agonized thoughts belong to Agonized heads.

Consumption. (Untitled)
i feel so incredibly alone like every breath in is suffocated by my loneliness and every exhale is a shallow wisp into the void to which i am alone unseen and unheard for the entire infinity of this mind that may just be limited to this life time it still feels so real and it feels so inescapable and i feel so powerless that i cannot even rest

What a tragedy it is— To find love where you are not wanted. To know peace while waging war. To be a raging fire—frozen in place. Oh what a tragedy it is— —to be whole but forever incomplete. What a tragedy it is— To be loved yet still lash out with lust. To own peace but still hunger for war. To have absolute control. —To give up your soul. Oh what a tragedy it is— —to think free will the same as freedom. What a tragedy it is— To have never tasted love or felt it’s touch. To be without it’s sparkle and still wander the darkness. To yearn for something you cannot imagine. To crave passion and embrace— Words to describe things you cannot. Oh what a tragedy it is— —to know love, only as something you’ve never had.

Tragedy—
It seems nothing is so beguiling as it appears, Feels like I'm looking at some void; Enwrapped in the nothingness of time, My heart yearns for euphoria, To enliven the wearied ardor for it's being. I keep calling out, Even though there's noone to hear me; Wondering if there's something missing in my orison. Yet I feel a personage telling me not to give up, That in the fullness of time we'll thrive; So I'll keep trying , Even if I'm besieged by nothing, I'll sojourn with gaiety, Keeping that love right within me. The path may seem meandering into nihility, Yet I'll go on, Engraved may, through my footsteps Remain forever our favorite song.

Nothing
I have wept in my mother's sorrows In tears of those of lost and labored- That life is waster when settled, And regretted when hated. The drugs have never covered- They will never coat the fear that lives inside of you; And the bottle that I've used to block the days before me Have left me in depths of hollow and confusion, To which the sky says yet again when I'm on my knees and looking for an answer- I have yet to find but more questions. This reflection I stand before shows more than I know; Or wish to see, Open your eyes and break the dark uncertainty. ~Bre Womble 5/29/19

Interestingly enough (I miss you) Mayhaps love Is not the Solution to all the problems in the world but the, Specific cause, creating a problematic (I miss you) Yearning of the soul that creates issues as dark as Obsidian, or could it be that love will never be Understood I miss you

I Miss You
The sky and the stars Bring out most of all, The knight is silent Even during they day They lie there wide awake, Hiding from the light of day This constant darkness consumes everything in its site But not ours. Unite these dreams and shine true. The abyss of night is always true. The sun will rise again for some of us. Let that be enough to grow you passions from seeds to roots And those roots will set your foundation. A bold knight will shine in armor one day, Just as a flower will sprout A relationship will blossom If only for me but a mouse

I got strong feelings  More likely messages Delivered by Hermes from the sky  It says The world is huge  Don’t get lost  Find a way Don’t leave it Try to stay  So  I found a direction  It’s love  Love for you  For my beautiful Truly true Another message  And It says   It’s right  It’s everlasting  It’s wonderful and fascinating

The Answer Is Love
"8th March 2018 A pen found its ink A purpose found its man Art,    The mother of all that's beautiful brought me a gift A life skill that would be my passage of lift                   He came to life in unhealthy mental weathers,                     his soul was birthed in shabby unearthly waters and bound to mine in an everlasting covalence.                                                            he was given to me an agent of healing – an outlet, a living freedom;          a drain for my pain,       a gift and a curse he is a stain on the domain of my name – but I take pride in our duality, my existence paradigm was on the edge of a cliff suicidal - I lay on my back under the roof of a gloomy identity my name and my frame soaked in melancholia of a quantity that exceeds the infinite. DEAR WORDSMITH You and I Are a year older I am a decade wiser I can feel it in my hair the truth in its absolute quintessence is a universe closer. The way you hold my mind in your gloves gives me sleepless nights and faceless days but who am I to question my panacea? I promise I will make the most of what we can be. A savior, a tutor, a sage My poet, my light, my flame, my light. WordSmith_Wiz 03/08/2019

GENESIS:THE BIRTH OF A POET
Hello my old friend, Never thought we'd meet again. In this place you call home, I've now returned to claim as my own. I remember it well, The hallow pit where I once fell, This deep dark alone, I found truth in these walls of stone. You warned of outside The perils of hope The deceit of trust And promise's rope... A noose to bind and hang in dread, I've now returned, broken and dead. Will you take me in and stay with me? Take away the fear and the lies that be? Keep me safe in our hidden lair You're all that I have... My friend despair.

My Friend
Hey there, hear my sad story I walk through this ghost town, my head hung low and my eyes weary My 6 string hangs around my shoulder The lights dim and the air grows colder I find a rusty old chair lying Creaking and wobbling, this old chair is crying And I start to play the tunes of my sad old heart Where do I start? A boy once lived in a far away land Roamed the deserts filled with sand On a winter eve he set on a journey To find magic and live in harmony He walked and walked until the sun went down He walked past every town No magic did he ever find A pain in his heart, that couldn’t be left behind Alone did he ever run Not a single soul, he could call a loved one Now he roams the streets with a 6 string Living a life without meaning Craving for the day he has since been longing Nor magic nor harmony will he ever find This is a cruel world that is not so kind So I sing the songs of my sad old heart Until the day my heart falls apart

Oh Boy!
Flying Out Climbing through stars Now that I'm here, this far out Can't seem to be knocked down Don't want to climb down When its you that you're higher So high lights drown I guess, I didn't grow any wiser

High
You see me in most young teens I'm the thing haunting their dreams, But not all is not what it seems, I'm just like any other, I even have a brother, Guess what my name is, What let me answer it for you, I'm depression and my brother anxiety, We walk throughout society, Embodied within everyone and well, Our job is to make life a living hell, The beauty of it all, You can seek help But we remain, To haunt you once again Whether shine or rain. We’re gonna be there So grip your bear tonight.

Through the eyes of the enemy.
Dwarfed by concrete and steel, I struggle to catch, to grasp that which has been stolen by swift phantom hands and soft dying light who whisper, caress, remind. They draw my eye to the setting sun, the dying fire, the phoenix’s last embers burning out. The day’s enchantment will soon expire. Lips drawn down, brows furrowing in a pout. The same spectral breezes tug on my shirt, Pull me towards the tracks that lead me home. Night sweeps across the sky in silken skirts, richly colored, bejewelled with precious stones. I must hurry. Must leave promptly, before Night regresses into a ****** *****

Englewood Sunset
There once was a man Who only thought about things And never thought that things Never thought about him. He clamors to the thought Of having more things Without giving his things A thought. The sun would rise The moon would set The moon would rise The sun would set Another day passes Without a thought Till all there was left Was his things.

Thoughts about Things
Why won't you say a single thing? One word. So I can understand what you're going through or how much of it is true The things people tell me make me hurt for you I mean You can't eat, You can't sleep, You can't even grieve What DO you feel? How often does this repeat? If you can reach I want you to grab my hand I can pull you out But you have to be on your feet Understand? I don't like you You don't like me But if it's you I'm without I doubt... Please! Be tame Help me help you We're one and the same You know my name

I Don't Like You
Lost I feel lost at every trickle The water is cold tonight The moment I went backwards I realized once again my plans have been ruined In the ruin I seek pity Not because of the bright glare Because of the glamour Nothing else could feel this wrong As my mind is wrapped in torment I still think about my loss How can I regain that trust back How can I turn it back into a tune Darkness in my thoughts I go on with my day

Lost moment
I wish I was your lucky coffee mug so that I could kiss your succulent lips, and make you feel my warmth. Each time, in the earliest rush of the mornings; and every night you feel the coldness, my darling. I wish I was there. — ibcn
