#potent - Hello Poetry

Her smile fed my temptation; slightly. That mesh dress lit my imagination; wildly. White skin wrapped in black lace, a shape not meant for this world, pulling my mind out of place and right back into her.

Temptation

Her smile fed my temptation; slightly. That mesh dress lit my imagination; wildly. White skin wrapped in black lace, a shape not meant for this world, pulling my mind out of place and right back into her.

We’re nothing but skeletons through safety nets - Fingers clicking new time sets, Carcasses savouring the darkness Lipsticks by cigarettes following the dim lit spec Of no ground beneath us, wanderers foetusless Figuring the freckles from the sun to our mess - Caskets of breath, holding up heads Hangers and railings, waiting for the horse sense sect... Arrows through archways, glass light through windows Pink blood smelling phoenix potent Broken street slabs, bruised zinc honing Wailing, awoken, wasting, frozen Bent not broken– darker, sharper Pieces of our star creature Learning to walk quicker Into the other whirl where we were hurled from... No longer held off, Dragons and sky gods fending the ether - Furious feathers float into glowing oceans that camber...

watching the clouds from my plane seat listening to Lana Del Rey speak compounding words and motifs wondering how this all came to be me in the sky, diamonds in my eyes and worry draped over me trap me in the mind, time after time the power of potent poetry

it is hard for the truth to come out of my sealed lips played the victim and I take my role seriously we were just on the same water, passing ships the sun and the moon meeting in an eclipse only for a moment but the moment was potent wishing for more moments like this rips and rips until I finish my zip hours and hours until I finish my shift you are the one thing my mind cannot slip the one man that drives me to drink so I don't think, just a couple of sips now I am covered in my sadness as the sunlight peeks through such a naive little boy, never knowing what to do what to do

When my soul gets bubbled inside gloominess , there's only one potent voice that blasts the bubble ; my inner voice who calls me out , ' Spriha , don't listen to anyone except me. '

I made a new friend, Though old she may be. Spotting her at the end, I invited her for tea. Sitting with me for a moment. My worries became obsolete. Her sting so potent. It made everything sweet.

A New Friend

I made a new friend, Though old she may be. Spotting her at the end, I invited her for tea. Sitting with me for a moment. My worries became obsolete. Her sting so potent. It made everything sweet.

Things you create to debate. Our love could wait. Made a mistake to be taken, And left to meet at a wake. I am dead, no love, no tears to shed. Break the bread, share and don't dread. Were slaves meant to be lead. By our hearts….. Filled with greed and desire.. So potent, it turns us into liars. When things are dire. You let ourselves consume And tire, Of the things that make us human.

If I could gather all the love in this world All the joy, all the hope, all the yearning I’ll make sure to place them somewhere where it Will remind you of me, like trinkets of hidden fortune Then I’ll place them in a jar sealed with the most glued affection I have for you If I could gather those, I’d still find something that I could give you I’ll gather a handful of strength, quite a sum of laughter And make it fit into the jar, though I wouldn’t mind giving You an overflowing number because I thought you’ll be needing them On lonely days and when you’ve lost yourself in a summer haze I’ll make sure to add a few drops of excitement ‘Cause who else wouldn’t want surprises? And maybe deliver a bunch of sunflowers and blue roses And personally deliver this jar to you with enchantment And when I arrive at your doorstep I’ll knock on your door, I’ll break down the walls that you built I’ll keep the sadness out, erase every bits and pieces of doubt Shower you with hugs and and magical spells And embrace you with a force more potent than love

When Love is Unabridged

There was a young lad, whose name was Ben, And he had the worst gas of all of his friends, Every time he’d cut the cheese, He’d bring them pleading to their knees. “Please Ben, be a friend, and go seek some help, For your gas is so potent that even the skunks yelp!” Well Ben sat and thought for a second, I’ll just break wind into a jar he reckoned. Ill twist off the lid and plug up my *** And fill the jar with my putrid gas. For weeks and weeks he collected his farts, Til the air inside the jar was thick and dark. He placed the old jar on top of his shelf, I’ll get rid of you tomorrow, he said to himself. Well something happened that night, and Ben’s life was taken, When a violent storm left the whole house shaken. The jar that Ben placed on his shelf with such care, Had fallen, releasing his gas into the air. Ben proceeded to suffocate slowly but steadily, A victim of a crime that was silent but deadly.

By Arcassin Burnham Has it been a year already, Have I clean out the office in my mind already, Have I seen the ruthlessness of my ways, Or maybe I just didn't see better days, I wish I had the moments that I craved, Back, In time, So frequent , I lay awake, Has it been a year already, Am I turning 18 in couple of months, Seems like only yesterday I grew ****** hair, Maybe i'm obsessed about my memories, Even the good people in it plus my enemies, Remenise about the moments that I craved, Back, In time, I'm potent , make no mistakes, I just want more in life.
