Chair cushion poetry words wind rain letterbox slap. Trees fields leaves swirl snoring dog - a booby-trap! Poems exciting clever arranging words enjoy like "dingly-dell" Medal gifted golden wing, wrangle, package and farewell. Trains clouds candles jug, poetry in sunshine glow. Red lampshade curtains seven wooden Elephants in a row. Favored mother's favourite son silent tears and not to boast. Hands of clocks slowly spinning spreading marmite onto toast. Some poems ask questions Some rhyme; some don't some paint you a picture some will; some really do but occasionally and don't scan and wont rhyme at all they won't! Poems are just words sort of, written; spoken, printed in a book open minds will have a go grab your mind and go take a look.

Poems are just words sort of
You brought me flowers Was honestly surprised Certainly were beautiful Betrayal cleverly disguised I awoke without you there Note explaining where you went When you came home with a big bouquet Knew exactly what that meant That in the hours you were away Had done something I’d disapprove Suspicions were confirmed by that gesture I had no way to prove Sifted through your phone of course You’re good at covering tracks Had plans to meet up with some girl Was told to chill and relax That you did not actually follow through Stopped to drop off some dope Her and a couple of other people Reason for me to mope It was other errands you ran Took so long You swear Don’t know if you expect me to believe Or you just don’t care You thought you were sneaky and smart Bringing somebody along Because if you had a chaperone Could you have done anything wrong? Which would have worked eons ago I’m catching on to your tricks Hard as I try to tear down your walls You’re faster stacking bricks I ask from you the truth Though i give more in return By now should be used to the sadness My stupid heart refuses to learn I keep asking what’s wanted from me Thinking I’m not worthy of a reply Maybe you don’t know the answer Either way I am left asking why Why can’t you stop slipping away? Out of hands and into the air All we’ve been through Ups and downs Now do you not want me there? I am hoping this is just a phase Patient I force myself to be You get it out of your system Like you when waiting for me I have made poor choices in the past Forgive me but can’t forget Tried to move forward and start over I can tell it still makes you upset I suspect that is justification Smashing my heart to pieces I hate myself for all that I am Your attraction decreases I do not know when feelings shifted It’s clear yours aren’t the same Maybe til now you were pretending Whole relationship simply a game My head beyond damaged Stories that don’t make sense I am going crazy Issues seem so immense I am easily manipulated By your hand Into different shapes I can no longer stand You are my biggest weakness Temptation I can’t resist I can’t have you for my own Should I even exist? I should thank you for your presence You come home to me each night As you spend days with other women I fear you can’t stand my sight I wish I could trust like before You won’t give deceit a rest See through your veil of loyalty Know better than protest I wonder Did you get her a present? If the floral arrangement was just for me May not be fair to hate her Probably shares my agony Except has the worse half of the deal I get most of your heart Rest is scattered in pieces Others have a tiny part They should have common decency Respect the commitment we share Since it clearly doesn’t matter to you Why would they bother to ******* care? I am aware I am a lucky girl Call you my best friend If you no longer picture a future together Don’t prolong the end I do not know how to change this To make you happy once more Hold the flood of tears inside The second you walk out the door Then waterfalls gush out of eyes Rivers of snot flow from nose Have no interest in hearing my sorrows I won’t burden you with my woes I try maintaining composure You are near Should be able to sense my emotions Not as stable as they appear But you are constantly distracted Consistently divided I pour my all into a relationship Grows more and more one-sided Even if you stop buying presents Come back to the house less and less I will remain devoted and true Never fixing this mess Roses the closest I will get Any sort of apology Someday you won’t buy me flowers You’ll only need to be with me

I love you for the beautiful and complete young human being you are. You value your blood relations. You work for a stable future. You are truthful towards me. You never kept me under a false impression that you love me too just like I love you. Though I am probably not going to meet you ever, let alone marrying you, but I do feel for you.

Sincerely Yours
All I ever wanted was to be a simple man. Simple house, simple family, and work as hard as I can. How come a calm life has become so complicated? A time when technology takes tops over trees is discombobulated. We leave behind the leaves and we take drugs to help us sleep, The lonely anxiety of society that tugs us runs so deep. Gone are the days when we just strive to survive, But where are the days when we thrive while we’re alive? I say just do you and keep it as simple as you can Get a job, find a girl, or if you’d rather, date a man. Life might be confusing but at least we’re all still free, And a life of which I’m choosing sounds like happiness to me.

A New Sort of Simple Man
If you want my heart you must ask my curves for permission first. Convince them you will be the one to adore them, no matter their width or depth. Let your hands do the talking. Touch me so soft I tremble and you break the code. Only then will they allow my chest to open and my heart will be yours to keep.

Fall On
Fulde hænder og hænderne fulde Fuglehænder og hændernes fugle Tankespind fra hjernen, hver gang dine Beskidte hænder får mig til at gispe Af ængstelse efter berøring fra andre Himlen lyser mørkerødt, men indeni Er min lunge kollapset. Sort. Skænker dig ikke en tanke når jeg Mærker himlende fornemmelser, Som tager mig langt væk fra dig Trækker vejret dybt og sukker - Søde tanker mod de dybblå Have, og strømmende bølger Himlen brænder og dyrene skriger For at sætte dig fri; fra mig Dømmende blikke og blikkende dømmes Deres øjne følger mig når jeg går ned Nedenom og hjem, ned af gaden Nedværdige kommentarer snurrer. Månen lyser himlen op, men kroppen Damper mørke skyer på boulevarden. Spejder og søger, efter svar på vores Problemstillinger, af nederste skuffe, Min yndlings dig, mit hjerteskud på Øverste del af himlen. Ses kun i kort tid. Vandrende på vejen leder jeg efter Det vi begyndte med at have. Kærlighed Du elskede mig ind til benet, men mit Skind bedragede, min eneste dig, du Skal forgudes, tilbedes og elskes.

Farvel
vi samler tørt støv fra floderne de kolde ilde skinner varmt rødt vi sover tungt på månedagene og snakker stumme ord med øjnene vi er her på grund af sultens glæder fordi vi husker det glemte der kommer og fordi ingen dør når pesten sletter alt

I will wear the cotton in your voice Like a satin waistcoat Hearing you call through splintered walls And the wind blows as easily as the rain falls Slowly I feel as though I am a drop Hurtling through the sky Towards the moss covered earth at a shattering pace Barely making a dent On the sliver of the place you are The other side of the door Just a track away And though I do not see you I hear your sway Creating balance in the things you say And we will walk forever Though we do not move from the warmth Of your iron cage With boiling over foreigners begging for attention My eyes cannot be drawn away And ill stand in a field And the corn will have no names and you will be Flying like a bird without a cage A slave without binding A stitch without thread And we will sprint like two parallel lines Always similar but never touching Infinite in ourselves But finite with each other Our paths never cross Though we move side by side Lost in the people we want to be with balancing on a fence post we dont know is stable With chipping paint And white lines Moving forever through a blind eye You’ve found the pair to your pair of die But where were you when I hadn’t When my tissue box was a house for elves And my sandbox was not a place for creation Where memories went to sleep And marbles were lost I slipped in the downpour And my shirt ripped And my shorts tore And I am sobbing alone Optical spillage with small oceans removing themselves Left drowning on my own But though your seams are now sewn Mine remain alone And I stand now Like a house without a home Im sitting like a rock at the bottom of the sea And I feel the pressure though it has never touched me Fizzling inside my ears like static during a phone call With you on the other line Your hearing fine Mine not at all Your white noise is blinding but you never hear it Sending me message after message But my ears refuse to be near it Like a microphone and a speaker Your feedback is heavy and when you are with her Your white noise goes away Your equally quiet souls both speak loud And neither one overpowers the other And I know you will not have me For I am a force of nature I swing like the light on the top of a lighthouse And warn sailors of the danger on my shores Because though you do not want me when I am yours I am yours I am in the world for a long haul And I hope your course changes I hope your white noise dulls I hope she can hear you when you whisper like sirens And I hope if your voice reaches Or hers falls I hope you find comfort in the ***** of her sanity because every other set of lines, meet once and then drift apart forever parallel lines are infinitely similar but will never meet

Parallel Lines
I will wear the cotton in your voice Like a satin waistcoat Hearing you call through splintered walls And the wind blows as easily as the rain falls Slowly I feel as though I am a drop Hurtling through the sky Towards the moss covered earth at a shattering pace Barely making a dent On the sliver of the place you are The other side of the door Just a track away And though I do not see you I hear your sway Creating balance in the things you say And we will walk forever Though we do not move from the warmth Of your iron cage With boiling over foreigners begging for attention My eyes cannot be drawn away And ill stand in a field And the corn will have no names and you will be Flying like a bird without a cage A slave without binding A stitch without thread And we will sprint like two parallel lines Always similar but never touching Infinite in ourselves But finite with each other Our paths never cross Though we move side by side Lost in the people we want to be with balancing on a fence post we dont know is stable With chipping paint And white lines Moving forever through a blind eye You’ve found the pair to your pair of die But where were you when I hadn’t When my tissue box was a house for elves And my sandbox was not a place for creation Where memories went to sleep And marbles were lost I slipped in the downpour And my shirt ripped And my shorts tore And I am sobbing alone Optical spillage with small oceans removing themselves Left drowning on my own But though your seams are now sewn Mine remain alone And I stand now Like a house without a home Im sitting like a rock at the bottom of the sea And I feel the pressure though it has never touched me Fizzling inside my ears like static during a phone call With you on the other line Your hearing fine Mine not at all Your white noise is blinding but you never hear it Sending me message after message But my ears refuse to be near it Like a microphone and a speaker Your feedback is heavy and when you are with her Your white noise goes away Your equally quiet souls both speak loud And neither one overpowers the other And I know you will not have me For I am a force of nature I swing like the light on the top of a lighthouse And warn sailors of the danger on my shores Because though you do not want me when I am yours I am yours I am in the world for a long haul And I hope your course changes I hope your white noise dulls I hope she can hear you when you whisper like sirens And I hope if your voice reaches Or hers falls I hope you find comfort in the ***** of her sanity because every other set of lines, meet once and then drift apart forever parallel lines are infinitely similar but will never meet

i need to stop leaving my heart behind everywhere i go it may end up inside a volcano, or be carried around by water's flow i need to stop leaving my heart behind in hands that don't care enough in places that make me crave return and the only souvenirs i manage to obtain are nostalgic memories with nothing to gain and the remnants of my heart thud and ache and i don't look forward to another day i only wake burden i need to stop leaving my heart behind before i am undone.

Before i am undone
I've been wondering how to put this into words for months, the aching feeling of missing something you haven't quite experienced, how to long for something like you've had it before but never have, I've come to the conclusion that I'm either suffering from a mild case of 'your crazy', or the much realer and scarier version of my thoughts, I have become homesick of a home I have yet to venture to, and after much thought I feel this must be true, but the scary thing is that I still have not a clue what to do.

9/11 Thoughts
They always told her she was skinny, 'You're like a twig' they used to say, 'You need a good roast dinner' they'd tell her. She grew up being proud, Of the way her bones jutted through, Her pink paper skin. When she reached 15, The junk food and pride, Caught up with her. By 16 all she saw in the mirror, Was mountains of fat and rolls upon rolls, She wondered if they would still call her skinny. At 16, she began cutting down on meals, 'If I miss lunch, I'll lose a little weight.' 'I don't need breakfast, not to be skinny.' She can't tell anyone else, She's the skinny one, She can't be fat. They've started noticing now, The rolls under her tshirt, They seem to get some satisfaction, That the skinny girl is fat. By nearly 17 she cannot stomach more than one meal, Anymore and she feels sick, To the pit of her stomach. Aged 17 she wonders, If they'd've brought her up the skinny girl, If they knew how fat she'd get when she grew up. Aged 17 she wonders how she got so ******* Fat.

Someone has made my bed differently today, For the covers are brown and rough, I can't be certain who it was that tucked it in so tightly at the sides, (I always hated that...) So constricting; I cannot move. Such discomfort. It's almost as if I am trapped in some form of elaborate prison. I really cannot bear this cover; For it hardly keeps me warm at all. So cold, so scratchy, I feel frozen so that I cannot stir, My skin, like ice. And yet... I rest so peacefully.
